Catch a Fire
[edit]- ... that Bob Marley & The Wailers' Catch a Fire is regarded as one of the greatest reggae albums?

Overall, looking good, a few small fixes needed. Sentence ending "the drummer of the Atlee Yeager Band meant that they looked like coming from the Old Testament" needs clarifying.(Reception section) Last paragraph in "Recording" (The song's lyrics deal with political injustice towards blacks, and poverty, as is the case in many of their albums. Catch a Fire is about "the current state of urban poverty", and "Slave Driver" "connects the present to past injustices".) has quoted statements that need to be attributed to whoever made them. Bit more copyediting - some run-on sentences - needs doing as well. Personally, I prefer Burnin as an album. The Interior (Talk) 18:43, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- I clarified the sentence about the OT. I don't see a reason to add the name of the reviewer.--GoPTCN 07:31, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- As the text doesn't indicate who made the quote, it would be a good idea to attribute it to an author. It's a reasonable assertion, but it is still an opinion and readers should know who held it. Otherwise, looking good, copyedits have improved readability. The Interior (Talk) 15:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I have revised the article to attribute the "one of the greatest" assertion to "critics", then give three examples (one of which I found and added) that support the generalization. I believe that this is sufficient to substantiate the statement "is regarded as one of the greatest." I edited the hook to remove the word "often", which is difficult to prove. Article appears to be in very good shape in general -- but I did not re-review the elements that The Interior already passed. --Orlady (talk) 01:14, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
