- ... that one critic described some of Life Till Bones's melodies as akin to "trying to dig a hole in a bowl full of sugar"?
- ALT1: ... that Oso Oso wrote some of the songs for their fifth studio album before they had even released their third? Source: Some of the songs being brought into these sessions were older than the band’s 2019 record Basking in the Glow

Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 13:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Both hooks are verified. A point of feedback is that the lead is one sentence and does not discuss how the album was received. It could be expanded to include a summary of the "Reception" section. Cunard (talk) 13:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Great point; I've expanded the lede to be more of a summary. Thanks for the review! ThaesOfereode (talk) 16:03, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for expanding the lead! Cunard (talk) 11:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I took on this review because I enjoy Oso's music, but unfortunately I believe this falls under the criteria for a quick fail.
- Sadly, this article is just not broad enough. A composition section (a standard in album articles) is not seen, despite the fact that each review that is used in the beefy reception section can easily describe the sound of the album. Plus, sources are used in the infobox to determine genre, which shows there has been description of the album's sound. When going through Google News, there are multiple sources I found that weren't used, but provide some good information. Some more information about the album's promotion/creation was also found.
- Like I said before, each review can be used to describe this album in good detail, considering how many reviews are here.
- Billboard provides some more critical analysis ("may be his finest moment to date...") and some comparison to Oso's previous work ("an accessible update to the aesthetic that made 2019’s Basking in the Glow so essential while also reflecting on personal tragedy and the strength that can unexpectedly result from such sorrow.")
- I don't believe the background section is broad enough either. This is their first album since 2022, which during 2023, they toured with Glaive, which could be added (this is just off my head since I have expanded Glaive articles), and there is probably some other stuff that happened in their career from Sore Thumb to Life Till Bones. In WP:ALBUMSTYLE, it states that "It should not be assumed that the reader is familiar with the artist's history and/or previously released albums." so, everything that happened in between their latest album should be documented here.
- Paste reports that "All of My Love" was its lead single, which has no mention in the article. It also says that "The band’s spring tour co-headlining with Spanish Love Songs [...] saw the band test out lead single “all of my love". this can be added to the background section. Also some more information: "Videos of Lilitri walking around the studio and smoking weed teased the commencement of the record’s creation."
- Pitchfork reports the day the album was announced, alongside another single, "That's What Time Does".
- The January to March 2024 date in the infobox is unsourced.
- The reception section, the most broad part of the article, could follow WP:RECEPTION as it currently follows an "X said Y" format that is typically discouraged.
The key with good articles is that you should scour the earth for sources until there are none left (that can be reasonably easily found). Also, note that the sources I provided are not all there are, there are still some more found when searching through Google News. I would love to see this article at GA someday so it would be nice if you expand this article's broadness and make it as beefy as it can be. If you do, I'd love to review it another time :-) Best of luck! Locust member (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
