GA on hold: Haunting the Chapel[edit]

Well, here we go. I have rated this article as 'On Hold' - there are no major problems and I feel with a few (minor) improvements it could be made a GA.

~~The lead is long enough, but does not tell me why the album is notable within the genre and indeed the industry. Use a similar style to the description of notability to the band.~~

Does the album need to be notable?, it also says and is considered the first demonstration of the band's "classic" style displayed on later albums and a "stepping stone".

~~More sources (especially print sources) would be useful for clarification. Perhaps music magazines, written biographies or even the album sleeve could be useful as references.~~

Ref 1 is an excerpt from a magazine, but what's the point when it's on the web and web sources are fine

Further information about themes or ideas in the album and how these relate to the band are common in other high-quality album articles.

This is an EP with 4 songs not much if anything is mentioned about lyrical themes, although i can add a sentence about anti-religious lyrics.

I agree that it does not have much need for information of this kind. However, I have never listened to the record and the current version does not provide much information for a neutral reader on what the album is about. I know (originally by implication) that it is anti-religious, but is this the theme of the songs?

Yes, i added "However, the first words Araya sang when recording Haunting the Chapel were "The holy cross, symbol of lies, intimidates the lives of Christian born", and other anti-religious lyrics"

More background to the album would be more informative.

As i said it's an EP, it's got where it was recorded, by whom, problems during recording, how the album came to be, lyrical themes etc

OK, but is there any information in the sources about what influenced the recording, rather than just 'they decided to create an anti-religious album.'?

Point taken - "These lyrics were inspired by the band Venom, who King was influenced by, and was into the Satanic image."

~~Further information and (perhaps) more broad coverage would be beneficial.~~

Well of course, but that information isn't available, thus why i go for GA not FA.

(Sourced) information about reception from fans and other listeners could be useful.

Sources from fans wouldn't be reliable.

They could be if taken from a chat room. However, if a summative comment from an article describing the album (like the sources you have already cited) was available, it could be.

Point taken - from the AMG review - "Fan favorites "Chemical Warfare" and "Captor of Sin" are played at Slayer's live shows regularly."

~~Bear in mind that unnecessary trivia is not recommended. Whilst this has been avoided so far, it is a risk whilst extending the article.~~

Uh huh......

Overall however, this is a well-sourced and informative article with no major formatting or copyedit-type problems. It could just do with being slightly more extensive. Good luck! ck lostsword|^queta!|_Suggestions? 22:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit lost with your review. M3tal H3ad 02:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although I accept some of your points, I do still think some sections need a little clarification. ck lostsword|^queta!|_Suggestions? 09:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You raised some decent points, if you still don't think they have been dealt with leave a message and I'll get to it ASAP. Thanks for the review. M3tal H3ad 02:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, that's much better - I have awarded GA status. Well done! ck lostsword|^queta!|_Suggestions? 09:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article about Slayer or Gene Hoglan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.91.248.146 (talk) 07:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics/Music Credits[edit]

Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics and who wrote the music for the songs on this EP? I couldn't find anywhere where it would get that specific with the credits, they all just credited it to "Hanneman/King", so I just assumed that meant that both the music and the lyrics were written by the two of them, but I don't feel sure enough.
