Comments a really good piece of work this.

• Five sentences starting "Robyn co-wrote all fourteen songs ..." are quite "factoid", they don't flow so well, any chance you could consider merging a couple of them to enhanace the readability?

• I can only count two of those sentences! Re-wrote the one in "Background", don't know if it is better or not. Pancake (talk) 10:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• Same comment applies to the Composition section, e.g. "David Schmader of The Stranger opined that it features a directness that is "unprecedented in pop".[13] Schmader compared its piano..." could easily become "David Schmader of The Stranger opined that it features a directness that is "unprecedented in pop",[13] and compared its piano..."  Done
• "sixth months " six months.  Done
• ""Electric" was released as My Truth‍‍ '​‍s lead single on 29 April 1999.[20] The CD single included both the radio edit and the extended album version.[21] The single became Robyn's third top-ten entry on the Sverigetopplistan singles chart,..." "single" used four times in quick succession, consider a reword or merger to reduce the repetitiveness.  Done
• ""Play" managed to peak at" -> ""Play" peaked at..."  Done
• Should Joyzine be italicised?

• Don't think so, just a website not a magazine. Pancake (talk) 10:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• "brilliant " is this a quote? If not it's a little POV, if so please "quote" it.

• The writer used the word lysande, a synonym to the Swedish word briljant, which means, obviously, "brilliant". It's quoted now. Pancake (talk) 10:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• "Lucas did review the album on behalf of AllMusic.[8] Lucas wrote" either "He wrote..." or merge, "Lucas did review the album on behalf of AllMusic,[8] writing..."  Done
• "Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF) for sales of 40,000" you've already abbreviated the GLF, so just use the abbreviation rather than explaining it again.  Done
• Any reason to make the "Certifications" table sortable when it contains precisely one entry?

• I used the Certification Table templates, is it possible to make them unsortable? Pancake (talk) 10:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

As I said, excellent stuff, I'll put it on hold while these minor issues are looked into. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your review and your kind words! I will begin dealing with these issues in a day or two. Pretty busy at the moment! Pancake (talk) 16:04, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Good work, sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. I'm happy to pass this as a Good Article. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:50, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
