• ... that Deep Purple's new album features a re-recording of the first track on their first LP? Source: "Full marks too for a fresh version of And The Address, the instrumental opening 1968’s Shades Of Deep Purple debut" ([1])
  • ALT1:... that Deep Purple called their new album Whoosh! because of its onomatopoeic qualities? Source: "Whoosh is an onomatopoeic word that, when viewed through one end of a radio-telescope, describes the transient nature of humanity on Earth; and, through the other end from a closer perspective, illustrates the career of Deep Purple." ([2])

• Comment : The expansion is a group effort, as you might expect from a brand new album being released; however I can't easily pinpoint one user to credit. If anyone feels hard done by, feel free to add yourself to the nom for a credit.

Brandnew, thus interesting, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The first hook is not for me, because it hides the attractive title - we can't et much more boring than "new album", no? - and because it relies on people already knowing Deep Purple. Well, most will, but please serve the other. I could approve ALT1 right now, but just have a few questions:

1. Instead of saying "again" when naming the producer, could we have a year when collaboration began, or a link to previous work?
2. Won't there be more interesting reviews if we wait a few days?
3. Can restrictions lift?
4. Should the thing before the track list be a sentence?
5. Thank goodness there's an infobox because the lead is rather quiet on basic facts.
6. I think the last line of reception might also make a good hook.

If you have no time, I'll just approve as is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerda Arendt (talk • contribs) 17:10, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: 1. fixed, 2. don't know 3. What "restrictions"? 4. No, it's common to have that for album articles, even GAs 5. Don't mention the infobox. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. 6. Do you want to stick it in as an ALT? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:28, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining! I won't make an ALT, or can't review. 3. May be my lack of grammar, "until lockdowns eased and restrictions lifted" reads to me as if the restrictions lifted something. The war is over. (So I thought, but corrected. Or not. We'll see. More important than not to mention the war is not to go. But what when they come ... first ...?)

+ I'll watch for other hooks, just in case a poetic vein strikes. Need a review for Rhythm Is It! (and many others but think that one would be a good one for you). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:37, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
