I generally dislike splitting up the flow of the track listing with full-sized individual song notes, preferring to leave them to the end. There are very few album articles that have them, so I'm open-minded. I also prefer "vocal" to "vocals" in this context.
I have a few alternative ideas:
(1) No italics
...
(2) Small Italics
...
(3) Small italics in-line with the track
...
(4) Song notes at the end, kept brief.
...
My preference would be for 3 or 4. Fantailfan 12:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Please do not change the article again without discussing it on the album discussion page. The standard format should be used unless there is a compelling reason to change it. Since nothing has been added to the discussion page to justify the deviation, I am reverting this edit. -- Fantailfan 14:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I was looking up "Let the Good times roll" on Dogpile, and saw an ad for Bang Bus Girls, a pornographic site. What vile people are running the internet!? -- 66.218.12.196 01:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but Neil Diamond had nothing to do with this album. No, he did not sing or write the 9th song All Mixed Up ARCOINS 11:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
What is an "AOR radio favorite"? 142.36.45.56 ( talk) 16:34, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
AOR stands for Adult Orientated Rock, rock and roll music popular with people who have moved beyond listening to the Top Forty. Presumably, an AOR radio favourite is a song repeatedly played on AOR radio stations. I presume you don't live in the United States? Eligius ( talk) 02:24, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I will be taking on this review. I'm a fan of the band myself and look forward to learning more about this album. Expect feedback from me over the coming days. — MusikAnimal talk 00:54, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Concerns
recognized as one of the band's greatest LPs. Should we use the term LPs or albums? While an LP can fairly be considered synonymous with the more ubiquitous term "album", from my experience it is usually reserved when referring to vinyl recordings. Just a thought.
After becoming a club staple, ... saw release on their 1987 album Door to Door.)This is just a long sentence that in my opinion could be better reworded. Perhaps something like:
After becoming a club staple, the band recorded a multitude of demos in the late 1970s, some of which later appeared in finished form on The Cars. Others were saved for a later release, such as "Just What I Needed" and "My Best Friend's Girl", which appeared on 1987's Door to Door.
As it stands right now, this article does not meet the good article criteria. Taking all aforementioned concerns into account, I do not believe we can address everything in a reasonable amount of time, so I am unfortunately failing this nomination. Please don't let this be any bit discouraging. We're not super far off. The biggest issue is the lack of research. — MusikAnimal talk 03:23, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
