I've listed this article for peer review because... at this rate,, I might as well make this a featured article. In the two years of trying/failing to write this thing up, I've essentially scoured the earth for sources and I feel it now covers most if not all bases in terms of content: however, I know I have likely overlooked some things or am aware of things I am struggling to address that I desperately need an outside opinion/comment on, especially on gender (having tried and failed to address this for 2 years and i am tired/head done in). the last two years of versions until the recent march 2025 rewrite have all sucked because I was still processing things whilst trying to write, instead of thinking about the quality of my writing. I need outside comment, because I just want to be over and done with this and I think i can actually do it now, for once.
Stuff I'm aware needs doing
- reduction of quotes and rewriting in my own phrasing
- reducing number of citations where possible (i.e. random online blog interviews: reviews, in composition and reception, are currently all from reliable sources) to most important ones
- i need to check up on some more touring citations: i.e. for sevendust february 2000 tour and i think there was some other tour towards the end of the year
- Need to change "Choke" sample because it is citing the band's press kit. Will likely replace this with "Brackish".
Stuff I'm stuck on how to address
- Gender issues/gendered writing: pervasive issue in reviews/media that the band didn't like, morgan/mercedes say the media reception to album led to stigma later down the line
- Neutrality especially on gender; again because it is a contentious issue. especially in legacy/aftermath section(s) per above point. also the third paragraph of music and lyrics overview which deals with misconceptions about lyrics and song titles and the band's contemporary denial of feminist associations to their lyrics (or smth). either way, i don't know if i'm making a big deal out this than it should be.
Idk. I want to actually get this right for once. I want reviewers to call me out in the bluntest and harshest of tones so I can actually get this right. I am tired of failing and want do succeed at this for once, since I basically don't plan on doing another FA (that isn't an fa list; i.e. discography) after this. // Chchcheckit (talk) 21:00, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- I stumbled upon your peer-review request never having looked at the peer-review list before. I don't possess the skills to provide criticism, and I have yet to figure out how to separate one person's work from another's in the context of a review, but I'd still like to thank you for reminding me of this album!
- I saw "Spit (Album)" in the list, giggled to myself and thought "hah, the Kittie album was awesome, I wonder what album the article actually refers to!" and then realised that it actually was about the Kittie album! What're the chances, eh?
- I had the fortune of seeing Spit played live at Fryshuset (in Stockholm, Sweden) in early 2002. It was a rather heartfelt concert (all things considered), the band seemingly feeling somewhat "at home" in the Stockholm winter climate. I recall nearing the end of the concert, someone (probably Morgan) mentioning the snow, and someone in the audience screamed back "We fscking hate snow!", leading to the band and crowd to erupt in laughter. I also recall that someone in security made me remove photos I'd taken with my (very new at the time digital) camera, which was a bit if a bummer; otherwise I'd have some cool photos to share!
- I don't think you desperately need opinions/commentary - the article reads just fine in my opinion and - at least for this reader - it evoked lots of good memories. Thank you for the work you've put in, maybe one day I'll be able to correct something! ;) Gammy (talk) 23:05, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
