QPQ done, New enough, all hooks seem interesting, no copyvio. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Launchballer, OlifanofmrTennant, and AirshipJungleman29: I assume the relevant line here is "... she’s unafraid to tether her breakbeats to a pounding four-to-the-floor kick drum, a move that would have been absolutely verboten in 90s jungle". That's pretty different from ALT3 on close examination (particularly the fact that ALT3 talks about time signature where the source seems to focus on drum fill). I don't particularly think ALTs 0–2 are interesting, but I'm not going to contest that more than pulling out of queue and leaving this comment. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:35, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Googling ""silence is loud" "nia archives" "four to the floor"" gives me a few results that say that the title track used a four-to-the-floor kick drum, but Petridis is slightly less specific. I've amended the article to that effect. I would suggest ALT4: ... that some of Nia Archives' 2024 jungle album Silence Is Loud uses a four-to-the-floor kick drum, a practice "absolutely verboten in 90s jungle"?--Laun chba ller 09:44, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, let's add some intrigue to this. ALT4a: ... that some of Nia Archives' jungle album Silence Is Loud uses a practice "absolutely verboten in 90s jungle"?--Laun chba ller 12:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT5: ... that silence is loud? would work as an April Fools' hook.--Laun chba ller 00:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT4a checks out, and I'll also create this pre-approved slightly different hook:

ALT4b: ... that Silence Is Loud uses a style considered "absolutely verboten" for its genre?

promoter can pick either one :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:27, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
