This is the source check for Tangled Up (Girls Aloud album) for the good article review. This was planned to be put in the review itself, but eventually, due to how cluttered it became, I placed it here. This is not comprehensive. I mostly ignored unreliable sources on grounds that the material would be removed anyway, I didn't review the reception section and the commercial performance section, and I stopped before actually finishing the source check once I realized that the changes needed for the article were too extensive for a nomination.
- ...new studio album in November of that year.[2] Initial ideas started in March of that year... Move citation 2 to after "March of that year".
- Place citation 5 after citation 3 to back up that Brian Higgins's production team is Xenomania.
- In late March 2007, Higgins and Xenomania started crafting demo songs for the girl group to record, which commenced the following month. None of this is backed up by the listed source.
- The album was finished in October 2007... I highly doubt the liner notes mention this. Find a better source, please.
- Tangled Up is a "non stop" pop album that consistently incorporates elements of electropop, dance music, Europop and various EDM sub-genres. Not only is the quote not in the listed sources, neither are most of the genres mentioned.
- Tangled Up was the group's first album to not include cover songs or traditional ballads. While the absence of cover songs in this album being a first for the group can be verified by citation 10, the absence of traditional ballads is not mentioned in either of the citations.
- Girls Aloud co-wrote two of the twelve tracks on the album: "Sexy! No No No..." and "Crocodile Tears". This is not mentioned in the listed source.
- ...the song was released as a B-side to the third single off the album "Can't Speak French". Although the listed source does mention "Can't Speak French", it does not mention "Hoxton Heroes"
- A 22-second sample of the opening track features Girls Aloud singing mature lyrics over a "classy electronic Euro-pop" instrumentation. Quote not in source
- A 23-second sample of the song's chorus which "kicks off the energetic side of Tangled Up with a monster beat." Quote not in source
- The album opens with "Call the Shots", an "elegant" electropop ballad that incorporates elements of 1980s pop and 1990s house, and minor Europop sounds.[11][12] Additionally, it was described as one of their softer–sounding singles in their career and features a solo bridge section by member Nicola Roberts.[10][13] None of the sources mention the song incorporating elements of 1980s pop and 1990s house. To ensure that the sources are backing the material, remove citations 11 and 13, move citation 12 to end, and remove "elements of 1980s pop and 1990s house, and minor"
- The second track, "Close to Love", was noted by commentators as the "kick-starter" to the album, singling out its "energetic" nature and dance–house music as a factor. Not only does this use weasel words, the material is not in the listed sources.
- The seventh track, "Control of the Knife", is a reggae and ska-influenced tune that incorporates a variety of trumpets, drum machines and synthesizers Material not backed up by source, which is simply a review of the cover art.
- During the song's chorus, an uncredited male singer performs the lines "Got sweet hassle, sweet talking me / Got cheap babble, cheap talking free," through vocoder effects. This is not mentioned in the listed source.
- The ninth song is "What You Crying For", first described by Cheryl as a "garage-sound track". However, critics refutted these comments by defining its sound as drum and bass, with influences of pop and two-step garage. Despite a negative remark by McCaighy, many other music editors highlighted the production as "forward-thinking" and believed the members "excelled themselves". Improper use of synthesis and weasel words, most of which is unsubstianted.
- The "futuristic" "I'm Falling" includes "squelchy sounds with a punky guitar", which was later compared to Girls Aloud's track "Graffiti My Soul" by BBC Music's Talia Kraines Material not backed up by source.
- "Damn" was one of the only tracks that was not frequently discussed by critics in their reviews for Tangled Up... I highly doubt that even if the Sputnikmusic review was available, it would mention this.
- The album closer, "Crocodile Tears", is an acoustic pop song... The source does not say it was an acoustic pop song.
- Tangled Up was first released in Ireland on 16 November 2007, and then throughout Europe on 19 November 2007. Citation 17 does not mention the released date, and liner notes are not valid resources for release dates.
- The record was issued through the iTunes Store and Amazon Music worldwide the following year by Polydor, Unsourced, as the following citation deals with the album's release in the US.
- In addition to the album, Girls Aloud and Fascination teamed up with Julian Gingell and Barry Stone—under the pseudonym Jewels & Stone—to produce a limited edition remix album. Citation 23 does not mention who collaborated with Girls Aloud to make the remix album. Citation 22 seems to cite the entire website but is inaccessible due to it using flash. As such, the verification fails.
- The accompanying music video was directed by Trudy Bellinger and features the group sporting futuristic-looking skintight PVC catsuits with peep-toe high heels as they dance through wires stretched across the set. There is a tag that says [citation needed]
- Most of the commercial and televised appearances is poorly sourced.
