• The most obvious error is the chronology of the lead in comparison to the article. Critical reception should come before the commercial performance, etc.

Overall

• This article has many problems, particularly with the prose and references. Seven days to fix the issues is plenty of time. Till 03:54, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think I've got the problems you've indicated plus a few others. Hopefully, its now back to GA.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:02, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I personally think the article needs a bit more work on it, but it would be unfair to delist it as you went through trouble to fix it. Keeping as GA. Till 12:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
