I'm happy to review this article. I'm open to discussion on many of my points, so if I make a suggestion that you don't like, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Mz7 ( talk) 21:28, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
His first major project was Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994)– In the Billboard interview, Senoue states "The first Sonic game I worked on was Sonic The Hedgehog 3". It seems to me that while Sonic 3 was the first Sonic game he worked on, it wasn't necessarily his first "major project" at Sega. In the interview cited at the end of the sentence, he says that his role in Sonic 3 was relatively minor: "I wasn't the main composer for Sonic 3, since I was busy doing another project." It seems that Dark Wizard was actually his first "major project" at Sega (it came about before Sonic 3, it looks like)—perhaps the sentence could be reworded to something like
His first involvement with the Sonic the Hedgehog series was Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994)
"Live and Learn" became one of the most memorable songs on a Sonic soundtrack of the decade– this seems to be a statement of opinion that we would need an in-text attribution for per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV.
Two years after the release of Sonic Adventure 2,– The article doesn't mention when Sonic Adventure 2 was released, so it's not clear to the reader when exactly this is.
Sega announced the first multiplatform Sonic the Hedgehog game, Sonic Heroes.– I would refactor this sentence to avoid close paraphrasing issues with the source, which is almost an exact copy of this sentence. Maybe something like,
In 2003, Crush 40 composed two new songs entitled "Sonic Heroes" and "What I'm Made Of" for Sega's Sonic Heroes, the first multiplatform Sonic game.
Overall, an interesting article! Only minor concerns above. I noticed that the article has been around to GAN in the past, and looking through the talk page of the article, it looks like for years the article was a redirect due to lack of notability. Excellent work rescuing the topic with the new coverage. The fact that the band was mentioned in the dissertation that you cited in the last sentence of the article is quite fascinating—the name is up there alongside such names as Beyonce, Lil Wayne, and Mariah Carey!

. This helps make it clearer. Overall, great work! I dug a bit through the history of this article, and I had to chuckle a bit at
this giant wall of text submitted by a random new editor back in 2008.

Wouldn't Crush 40 be more Post-grunge? They started in late 90s and have that kind of sound in my opinion.
I'm pretty new to wikipedia (why I haven't used the [] or edited articles) and had not done any research on this (and should have)so thanks for the clarification, thats a great response. Having now read the Andy McDonald article I completely accept your decision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KnivesFF7 ( talk • contribs) 04:39, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
