# Talk:Era Extraña

Is saying that Neon Indian got "stalked by a hobo" relevant to this page? I don't quite see the connection. wia (talk) 00:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
It's just interesting... no problem with that, right? The dinks 18 (talk) 01:36, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to point that the correct translation for Era Extraña might be "strange age" or "strange era", instead of "it was strange". It related more with the song of the same name "Era Extraña", where the lyrics contain the phrase "Eras end above us".

I will begin my review of this album today. --K. Peake 08:53, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


### Infobox and lead
Change the album to being listed as recorded from 2010 til 2011, as winter is not a month so should not be here
Pipe Tarbox Road to Dave Fridmann
Use bullet points instead of hlist
Remove dream pop because there is no source for that and synth-pop since only some songs are in the genre
Keep the singles in the infobox but write out their release dates in the release and promotion section, moving the refs there instead
The ref for "Polish Girl" gives a release date of August 3, 2011 instead of August 4
The English title should be italicised because this is an album
Decided to remove title. Skyshifter talk 23:03, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
"released on" → "It was released on" as a new sentence to avoid a run-on; the initial release date needs to be written out in the body like any info in the lead does
"It was recorded between" → "The recording took place between"
"psychedelic pop, shoegaze and" → "psychedelic pop, shoegaze, and" with the wikilink
Add the release year of Psychic Chasms in brackets
"The record was generally well received by" → "Era Extraña received generally positive reviews from"
"with some reviewers calling it more focused, tight and" → "a number of whom called it more focused, tight, and"
"Psychic Chasms and some praising" → "Psychic Chasms, while some praised"
"that on this album," → "that on the album,"
"The album peaked at number 74" → "The former peaked at number 74" to specify what album you mean, also write this out in the body
"the band's first release" → "standing as the band's first release"
The tour is notable for the lead, so add a final sentence in the second para mentioning it was accompanied by a North American tour and when
All  Done. Skyshifter talk 23:03, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


### Production
Retitle to Background and production
"where Palomo was living for" → "when Palomo lived there for"
"a Korg MS-20 and a" → "a Korg MS-20, and a"
"and the first weeks of production in Helsinki involved" → "with the first weeks of production in Helsinki involving"
Add the release year of "The Perfect Kiss"
"kind of challenge"." → "kind of challenge."" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
"He said, "It was an" → "He said that "it was an"
"evolved from there"." → "evolved from there"" since this is a full sentence
"Unlike the previous album," → "Unlike Neon Indian's debut studio album Psychic Chasms (2009)," with the wikilink
"that involved building up" → "via building up"
"composing this album," → "composing Era Extraña,"
[6] should be at the end of any sentence that uses direct quotations
"On Era Extraña," → "For Era Extraña,"
"He said, "The more" → "He said that "the more"
All  Done. Skyshifter talk 01:58, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

"Its instrumentation is cluttered" → "The instrumentation is cluttered"
Pipe synth to Synthesizer
Pipe samples to Sampling (music)

Use a more encyclopaedic term than tight
Hm, not sure what I can use here... any suggestions? Skyshifter talk 01:58, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
Upon further consideration, this should be fine especially since the usage in reception is acceptable. --K. Peake 10:02, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
"were used as" → "are used as"
"and the record also included the" → "and Era Extraña also includes the"
Wikilink Nintendo
"describing other tracks" → "while describing other tracks"
"lazy summer vibe" → "lazy summer feel" per the source
"while it wasn't exactly a breakup album, it did" → "while Era Extraña is not exactly a breakup album, it does"
Again, ref(s) should be at the end of any sentences with direct quotations
"filtered drums and" → "filtered drums, and" with the pipe
Pipe reverb to Reverberation
All  Done. Skyshifter talk 01:58, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


### Songs
""Heart: Decay" and" → ""Heart: Decay", and"
Wikilink Game Boy
"with 8-bit particles" → "with the sound of 8-bit particles" per the source, with the pipe
"that is present on the album," → "that is explored on Era Extraña,"
[17] should be solely at the end of the sentence to avoid overciting
Allmusic → AllMusic with the wikilink
"of all of the songs on the record," → "of all of its songs," to be less wordy
Add the release year of "Reunion"
"as both songs depict someone" → "seeing a resemblance to its theme of someone" per the source

"sounded like music for" → "sounds like music for"
"while Phares said it" → "while Phares stated it"
"on this track," → "on the track,"
Italicise musicOMH
Add release years of "Vienna" and "Out of Touch"
Wikilink as New Romanticism instead

"Aizlewood compared the song" → "whereas Aizlewood compared the song"
"said the song sounded like music" → "said it sounds like music"
[14] should only be invoked once in the sentence

Add the release year of "Someone Great"
All  Done. Skyshifter talk 00:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC)


### Release and promotion
Relevant release dates, like the initial one, need to be mentioned here
Pipe vinyl to Phonograph record
The 47-minute length is not sourced
Remove or replace the blog source per WP:SELFPUB
Add US Billboard 200 and other notable charts in this section, as it belongs with release when there's not enough for reception
Remove overly obvious wikilinks on Texas and New York City
All  Done. Skyshifter talk 00:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC)


### Critical reception
Retitle to Reception per rankings also being here
Add AnyDecentMusic? to the aggregate scores
"received generally positive reviews" → "was met with generally positive reviews"
"and an aggregate 7.2 out of ten on the site" → "Based on their assessment of the critical consensus, it was given 7.2 out of 10 on"
The year-end lists should be in a separate para at the end of reception because rankings don't belong with reviews

"while it did not have" → "while it does not have"
"it showed that the project" → "the album proved that the project"

Italicise Consequence of Sound and pipe to Consequence (publication)
Put parts of that review into your own words per WP:QUOTEFARM, also any album titles need to be italicised
Remove the NME rating from prose since that is in the reviews box

### References
Copyvio score looks slightly too high at 40.1%; cut down on PopMatters quoting to fix this
Make sure all of these are archived by using the tool
Ref 1 is citing the incorrect URL
Cite About.com as publisher instead on ref 6 and pipe to Dotdash Meredith
Pipe Consequence of Sound to Consequence (publication) on ref 7
Cite AllMusic as publisher instead on refs 15 and 50
Cite Club Fonograma as publisher instead on ref 17
Fix MOS:QWQ issues with ref 18
Pipe The 405 to The 405 (magazine) on ref 21
Are you sure ref 27 is not a violation of WP:SELFPUB? If you can justify the source, fix MOS:CAPS issues.
I believe the source is valid. The "limited edition package" info is worth of inclusion in the article, and the own creator of the "Pal198X" included with the package is talking about it (without any controversial or non-neutral comments, etc.) so I believe it can be used. Fixed caps issues. Skyshifter talk 03:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Remove or replace ref 28 per my earlier comment
WP:OVERLINK of Under the Radar on ref 29
Cite Metacritic as publisher instead on ref 30
Cite AnyDecentMusic? as publisher instead on ref 33
Pipe HMV Japan to HMV on ref 38

Cite Amazon as publisher instead on all refs and remove the location parameter, instead adding the domain afterwards, i.e .co.uk
