### Infobox and lead
Drum solo should not be listed under genres in the infobox since that is not a genre itself, just a section of the song
100% of "Didacts and Narpets" is a drum solo. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 13:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
My point still stands though; this is not a genre in itself. K. Peake 19:38, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Are you sure there shouldn't be a comma after Geddy Lee per American English?
Rush are a Canadian band. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 19:23, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

I would suggest starting a new sentence as "The piece is punctuated by dramatic" to avoid a run-on and if this is done, re-invoke the ref that uses the thunderous quote at the end of its sentence per direct quoting

### Reception and legacy
First para looks good!
"bizarre recorded sequence."" → "bizarre recorded sequence"." per MOS:QUOTE
Oh yeah, that is a partial quote. Good catch! User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 19:41, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
The art rock review mention is fine to keep, but shouldn't this genre be added to composition too so it is sourced as a genre itself?
I see what you're saying, but since a lot of composition sections are sourced to the same reviews that are cited for Reception sections, there is a lot of overlap between them. Having the genre description sourced and established anywhere would seem to suffice, plus it was to avoid redundancy. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 19:41, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Fourth para looks good!
Add any further info to establish notability of the cover version per WP:SONGCOVER
What's wrong with the Bloody Knuckles source? User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 19:35, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Also, these rules apply if a lot more than one artist covered the song, and the Mike Mangini one is the only recorded cover by a notable artist that exists for "Didacts and Narpets" "When a song has been recorded or performed by more than one artist,".

MOS:CAPS issues with ref 20 or is that how RUSH is stylized?
Yes, that is how the band's name is stylized.


### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until all of the issues are fixed; nice job on this one for the most part! --K. Peake 20:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
 Pass now, your second QA in the same day and I did some copyediting to improve a few spots too! --K. Peake 07:38, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
