I'll be doing this one.--IDV^talk 21:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

General questions

I don't work on music articles often, so this might be obvious to you, but it's not to me.

• How come only Parasite Eve Original Soundtrack has a track list in the article?
• Why does The 3rd Birthday Original Soundtrack have a cover art while none of the others have one? I mean, don't get me wrong, I know that we limit the use of non-free images, but what caused the decision to use a cover art for this one specifically?

Parasite Eve

• Additional arrangements were done by Shigeo Tamaru.[8] Despite her previous work as lead composer on Super Mario RPG, Parasite Eve became her breakout project and garnered her international fame. "Her" is meant to refer to Shimomura, but it sounds like it refers to Tamaru since he is the last person mentioned.
• During her work on Parasite Eve, Shimomura spent time in America, Change to "in the United States".
• Until Parasite Eve, Shimomura and written music Shimomura had written music
• Later, due to popular demand from fans, a reprint was issued through the Square Enix label on January 26, 2011 Is "later" necessary?

Other albums

• with the aim to both strike at players' emotions while not interfering with them. Because you use "while", it doesn't seem like "both" is needed.
• Arrangements for multiple tracks was done by Hiroshi Nakajima, Arrangements [...] were done
• Same here, the "later" in "Later, due to popular demand from fans" shouldn't be needed since the release date is provided in the same sentence
• When she started out, she knew nothing about the game's story, but eventually became familiar with them became familar with it
• For the game's theme song, the company collaborated with This is Square Enix, right? Might want to just write "Square Enix" since they haven't been mentioned for a while
• There are two sentences in a row that begin with "Upon release". You should probably change one of them to avoid repetition.

Discussion/etc

@Judgesurreal777: This article is pretty good! I couldn't find much wrong with it at all actually, just a couple of wording issues. I'll put this article  On hold for seven days; if the issues and questions are all addressed within that time, I'll pass the article.--IDV^talk 09:47, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

@IDV: ok, I did the fixes and also cut the track list, it seems these articles don't usually include that. Also, i looked at other articles that are GA "Music of" articles and they also have one album shown with no super specific rationale other than showing one of the albums in question, but not all of them to not press too hard on fair use. Let me know if there is anything else! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:02, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

@Judgesurreal777: Thank you. It looks good to me now, so I'll be passing this now! --IDV^talk 20:11, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
