GA review (see here for criteria)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
Every sentence in the lead starts with "The". Please re-write the lead to eliminate this repetition. Please also re-write one of the captions so it does not look like a copy of the other. Under the section on "The band", as a reader, I fail to truly understand the band. Who are they? How many members are there? The credits list has a large amount of people, but nothing is mentioned in this section. I feel that this section needs to be expanded to include a better picture of the band.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
Article is properly referenced with reliable sources and has no original research.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
Article covers all major aspects and is focused.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 
Article conforms to WP:NPOV.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 
Article is stable.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 
Pictures are properly tagged but I would like one of the captions to be reworded so it doesn't resemble the other caption that closely.
Overall: A few minor issues have to be fixed before we can move this article forward. I will allow up to 7 days for these issues to be resolved. – SMasters (talk) 08:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the issues, although you did not address my concerns for the lead. I have fixed my original concern and have expanded it slightly as I felt it was a bit too short for a lead. Now, I am satisfied that the article meets all the requirements for a GA, and am happy to pass it. Well done. – SMasters (talk) 03:23, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
