Criteria marked are unassessed

• Sources look good, AGF on copyvio and OR bc tools are down; sources are reliable and quotes are correctly attributed
• Infobox and cover good
• One commons image - suitable
• Could the quote box be made wider?
• Other tables as standard
• Lead a good length
• History and talk show it's stable
• Follows album MOS
• Article title is a bit unwieldy, is it unable to just be 1980 (album)?
• Is past in their past jazz-funk style supposed to be 'post'?
• Sufficient lead
• produced by them both sounds informal, could 'them' be removed, or some other phrasing used?
• Ok, both past and custom modular synthesizers - I don't know what 'past' is doing here, if it means something special it needs a wikilink
• In The title track voices, I know it's obvious but I think it should have "1980" included
• Could there be a ref after 'computer technology' - end of sentence with quotes in
• And again after 'uncertain decade'

Overall

• on hold a few things. Kingsif (talk) 01:37, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Okay, I revised all your prose and style concerns. I put in a request for the article to be moved to 1980 (album). isento (talk) 06:29, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks, looks good! Kingsif (talk) 16:50, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

"Turning Corners"

I owe you an apology Tbhotch. Turns out there was a reliable source with some background information connected to this album: Pieces of a Man, "Turning Corners" chapter. I'll be adding to it from there soon. isento (talk) 04:01, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
