Sorry
User:TheNuggeteer, but this article is a long way from meeting the GA criteria, so I would have to quickfail it. It fails GA criterion #3, due to not being broad in its coverage. Almost all sections are undeveloped, and sources clearly exist to build out these sections. Here are a few points if you still seek to bring this article to GA:
There is no information on when/how the album was recorded, and what happened during the writing process. Done
There is no information on any of the songs, how they are structured, how they sound, what instruments they use, what genres they are.
The rock/blues/assouf part is unsourced (big no-no for genres, see
WP:GWAR) and is inexplicably under "track listing" Done
Reception is three sentences despite there being ~10 full length reviews in reputable publications.
Personnel list is unsourced Done
Reception should be higher than charts. You can use the ordering of the headers in
MOS:ALBUM as a guide. Done
Information about their touring would be useful. As well, a section on the release.
The album's title should not be bolded in "Background"; it is already bolded in the lead. Done
Should be more information about the "companion documentary"
Why is there a header2 "Afrique Victime" under "Meaning"? No reason to make a subsection when its the only thing in the parent section. Done
Discuss themes, political context, etc. in more depth.
"Sexism" should not be capitalized Done
Other than the metacritic sentence being gramatically poor, "a popular song/album reviewer" is incorrect. Metacritic is a review aggregator, not a review site itself. Also, I think that the ranking was referring to user scores. (I'm not sure we use that) Done
ref 9: this is a duplicate ref with [1]. references check out. Done
ref 17: all good. If you use this for prose, (which you should) add the author (Allison Hussey) Done
ref 31: just a chart, all good Done
ref 34: another chart, all good Done
I would recommend for you to read other album GAs/FAs to get an idea of the level of quality required for these articles. Short album GAs are very rare, because I find that music publications tend to write longer articles, and usually there are interviews to be found. For example, I wrote an album GA on an album with essentially only 3 reviews (
Don't Wake Me Up) and I still was able to write out each section into a good paragraph and cover all the broad points. If you are intending to continue improving this article, please feel free to message me on my talk page, as I have decent experience writing album articles. —

The Reverb page should be fine. The Reception section should be above track listing and personnel. The T in the Touring header should be uncapitalized.
Keep in mind: When I said the article lacks information on X, I mean a comprehensive, well-researched paragraph should be included, not a couple of sentences. —
