Anodyne (album)

Self-nomination. The last album by alternative country band Uncle Tupelo, which has been been GA for a while. I find it pretty comparable to other featured album articles. Thanks in advance for your comments. Teemu08 21:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose: not all that compelling. GA status, yes, but not FA-status. I would try to expand the overall article. There's not that much content. Perspicacite 09:15, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • There's not much content to be had. This article paraphrases everything I could find about the article. I think its important to consider that this album is an independent release that has only sold ~150,000 copies. If there was more info about this album, I'd quickly put it in, but to date there isn't much. Teemu08 (talk) 21:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose - Everything here is nice, but it's pretty passé for lack of a better term. Critical reception is but a tiny, one-sided paragraph. In that way it is relatively POV. YouTube redirects should be kept out of External Links. If that video needs to be in this article, try going to MTV or Yahoo! Music for it. A background section should be put in because I have no idea what is going on, or the history of this band. Most will not be willing to read the entire Uncle Tupelo article in order to understand this one. Overall it is a GA class article that needs work to become FA.
