Lede

[edit]
  • "With 15 tracks over just 35 minutes..." Remove the word "just".
  • "Plumb has been described as a 'melting pot of genres, influences, and styles'..." There is a source here – is this definitely mentioned in the body?
  • "...incorporating elements from each of the Brewis brothers' earlier side projects, including the funk style of Peter Brewis' The Week That Was, and the new wave and synth rock of David Brewis' School of Language." This is quite a mouthful! I would remove the specific phrase "each of the Brewis brothers' earlier side projects, including" to get "incorporating elements from the funk style of Peter Brewis' The Week That Was, and the new wave and synth rock of David Brewis' School of Language." Or something like that.
  • "...and dissatisfaction with consumerism and other aspects of the modern world." Change the second "and" to something like "as well as".

Background

[edit]
  • "...the band was attracted to because of the political, economic, environmental implications of such stations." There should be an "and" after the word "economic".

Musical style and composition

[edit]

Album structure

[edit]
  • "David Brewis said the individual tracks are modular and shift rapidly between sections in a more linear way than normally found on a pop album." The surname can be removed – they have already been introduced as Peter and David. This comes up in a couple of other places too.

Mix of genres

[edit]
  • "Plumb incorporated elements from the side projects of each of the Brewis brothers' side projects, including the funk style of Peter Brewis' The Week That Was and the new wave and synth rock of David Brewis' School of Language." The side projects of the side projects? Remove the duplicate.
