Poor style and possible mistakes

I tried to improve the style and correct some obvious inconsistencies, but since I came here to *read* information about the album (plus I'm not a native english speaker) I feel quite limited, someone who knows the band well ought to verify the whole page. In particular there was this awful sentence, which I tried to make sense of and smooth a bit: "The song was edited for the album and single release was edited, but the version on the original vinyl version is the full length version. This full length version is also included on the When You Gonna Learn and Blow Your Mind CD singles." So were there two distinct "single" releases? (In the next section there are also mentions of two apparently distinct "single" releases, one being qualified as the "commercial" one -- is there such a thing as a non-commercial single record?) In doubt, I removed the first "single" mention, but if that's indeed the case please correct it.--Abolibibelot (talk) 14:17, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Reviewing now. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

The song also "takes on everything from racism to corporate greed". – Quotes should generally be attributed; who said this?
the wars he seen on television. – should it be "had seen"?
With the fourth track "If I Like It I Do It" Kay said it reminded him of "Harvest for the World" by Isley Brothers,[1] its lyrics have been described as anarchist – this might need reformulation; it is not clear that "its" refers to the fourth track and not the track from Isley Brothers.
link syncopation?
Link UK chart? Link Platinum, Gold, b-sides?
and secured them a later deal with Sony – replace "them" with "the band", because the latter was not previously mentioned in that paragraph?
"mix[es] images of cruelty, blight, disaster and genocide" and of the Holocaust. – the Holocaust is a genocide, so this is a bit repetitive.
Because of the latter, it was banned in American MTV. – I wonder why?
That's all, nice work! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 22:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I should have everything addressed. I decided not to link gold since it would be duplicate with platinum linking to Music recording certification. 웃O O 00:39, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
