1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	"upstream their bands" is upstream a common word for this? I am not sure what it means. "Further tours in the UK and the US, co-headlined with MxPx, followed." clumsy sentence "According to Watts, when the band played the demos for their label, the response was to play New Found Glory's Catalyst (2004)." I get what this is saying, but I think it could be worded better "as well as performing cello on the track" → "and performed cello on the track"
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Reference 4 does not work, per GA criteria it is not required to. Several links are like that (18-20 at least), not sure if a broken bot added them all or what. Like I said though, functional links are not required.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Earwig shows that the song titles and quotes that you pulled from the articles match, which of course is not a problem.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	The 'use in article' is not correct for the album art (should be infobox). Also, it looks like we could resize this image to be smaller?
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.

Fixed the artwork size and rationale use. Yeepsi (talk) 13:34, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Fixed the sentences and a couple of the links. Yeepsi (talk) 22:48, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
