Comment: Does not demonstrate notability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (music). Does the album reach a chart position at all? microbiologyMarcus (petri dish•growths) 20:23, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Sources still don't demonstrate significant coverage and notability. Compusolus (talk) 00:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Personnel and track listings need sources. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:44, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think the sources cited are sufficient to establish notability. Of the two that offer significant coverage, Spirit of Metal is not considered reliable, and the other, SputnikMusic, isn't alone enough. The other sources merely document the existence of this album, and we need more than that.Please note that the draft title currently forwards to the article on the band. There was a stub/article earlier, but this was replaced with a redirect because it was deemed not notable enough. If we want to replace that redir with a new article, that article has to demonstrate notability beyond any doubt; something at best borderline won't do.

Reception[edit]
Reception has generally been positive of the album. Staff Reviewer Fernando Alves on Sputnikmusic called it a '"Teutonic Thrash Metal classic. Metal meets german beer! Some good moments but not an essential Thrash album."[4] A reviewer from Rock Hard gave it high praise, mentioning how the band has gotten even better since their previous album, and that "everything is a bit harder and more brutal" than on the predecessor. "The Morning After isn't the revelation that some might have been expecting, in my opinion, but a solid and potent follow-up album."[5] A reviewer from the webzine Metal Storm gave it a positive review but criticized the performance and songwriting as definitely not pushing any boundaries, as well as the production not giving the guitar tone enough punch. "These aren't huge issues but the whole album seemed to lack the components of a classic in the genre. It's written well enough, it's fun, and enjoyable for a few listens, but upon repeated listens it loses its appeal a bit."[6]
