OK Computer[edit]

This article, in my opinion, is close to GA, but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for it, as it does need some expansion and cleanup to get to an advanced state. I'd especially like input on integrating the "Track information" section into the rest of the article. ErleGrey 18:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Expand the lead section with more basic details, such as who produced it and where and when it was recorded. Rearrange it too. Compare with the lead section of the recently-featured Kid A.
  • Try and get rid of the list format in the "Musical style" section. Remove many of the influences cited; explain why they are important and how they influenced the sound of the album more concisely. Also, talk about the lyrics.
  • Move "Marketing and release" after "Musical style".
  • Only list track information essential to the article as a whole. Song articles can always be used for song-specific information. List information about select songs if they represent an important aspect of the album, like a musical or lyrical approach. Of course some song-specific information has its place, like details having to do with "Paranoid Android"; since it was the first single, its sound it notable for how it reflected on the album
  • Properly format all web citations. Make sure to include author, title, date, and retrival date.
  • At some point you'll want to look for the 33 1/3 series book on OK Computer. Apparently it focuses largely on musical analysis and criticism, which will be very helpful in regards to the "Musical style" section. WesleyDodds 07:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
