- Nominator(s): BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I created this list last month because I believe the Beastie Boys have enough songs to have a "songs" list. I modeled it after the Rise Against songs list in terms of the table. I have another FLC at the moment that has one support and many comments so I think I'm safe to nominate this one. I believe this list meets the criteria and is well-written enough to become featured. All comments and criticism are appreciated. Thanks and happy editing! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from Vedant
- "which marked a style change to a more hip-hop oriented sound" - a change in style?
- you can wiki-link rap.
- "With Rubin's help, Beastie Boys released the singles" - help is a little vague.
- How about "assistance on writing and producing"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- "Beastie Boys broke away for Def Jam and moved to California " - from.
- "where they signed with Capitol Records" - might want to rephrase this bit too.
- This one is very hard for me to reword. How about "and signed with Capital Records in California"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Again the "help" bit isn't really the best way of putting things.
- How about "with production aid from the Dust Brothers"? This one was a little hard as well because I want to avoid using "assistance" again. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- You could simply say: "Produced by Dust Brothers...".
- "While initially unsuccessful commercially, Paul's Boutique's reputation has grown significantly, with Rolling Stone in 2013 calling it "the Sgt. Pepper of hip-hop"" - Reads awkwardly, especially the "initially unsuccessful commercially" and the "with Rolling Stone in 2013 calling it " bits.
- How about "commercially unsuccessful on release" and "with it being called the Sgt. Pepper of hip-hop" by Rolling Stone in 2013"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- "More diverse than their previous albums, the album was a..." - repetiton; you can use it instead.
- The lead uses the phrase "received positive reviews from critics" too much. See if you can vary the text a bit.
- Not sure if "in respect" is right choice of words.
- How about "out of respect"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The rest looks good to me. Fine work BeatlesLedTV. VedantTalk 18:22, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Numerounovedant Thank you so much for your comments! I really appreciate it. I reworded a lot of phrases based on them. Let me know if they're good or not. Care to comment on my other FLC? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Everything looks good; i support the nomination. I'll try and take a look at the other nomination too BeatlesLedTV. Good luck with this one! You could request a source review at the concerned help page. VedantTalk 07:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by Dudley
edit- The only thing I can find is that the repetition of "A Musical Biography" is an error in the source. See Worldcat at [2].
