- Template:Ping I see you active right now, can you give this a look? --evrik (talk) 19:43, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Ping any way to get this approved and posted on April 26? See Alt1. --evrik (talk) 19:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Template:U, To be clear, this is the first album by the original line-up in 35 years and first studio album in general for 27. I think that several facts are notable, depending on how many we can cram into one hook: long duration between album releases, 40th anniversary of Los Angeles, and COVID-19 is what spurred them to surprise-release it.

- Hi, I'm too tired for a review right now. ALT1 is 275 characters long! Yoninah (talk) 19:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Template:U, I personally like Alt1a for what it's worth. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:14, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- evrik, I suggest putting a request on the WT:DYK page as the best way of attracting a reviewer at this late date, noting that April 26 is the 40th anniversary of the group's first album and thus an ideal date to run it. (It would need to be inserted into Template:Queue once it was approved.) BlueMoonset (talk) 20:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
