• Cover art has proper fair use rationale and alt text
• All references appear reliable per WP:A/S and WP:RSP, as well as WP:NEWSORG and my experience with said sources
• Since the album is not even a month old yet I think this has time to expand if more interviews / articles about the album are written. also, it may place on some mid-year/year-end lists. however, for its current state, I think it is broad.
  • my thoughts exactly // Chchcheckit (talk) 01:24, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
• It is neutral. Quotes and opinions are attributed
• No persistent edit wars in the past 14 days. Stable
• False positive from Earwig that reports a source copying the wiki article is a violation. Other than that, highest is 16.7%.

Spot-check

• He recorded most of More Chaos during the tour - both sources confirm this
  • i cited the press release bc there are other articles that talk abt the los angeles thing but they vary in description/appear to be based off it so better from the horses mouth ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ // Chchcheckit (talk) 01:13, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

  oh ya ur good. I was just saying for the spot-check that I found no OR with the sentence Locust member (talk) 20:55, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

• [9] On January 13, 2025, American Twitch streamer Kai Cenat revealed text messages from Carson stating that he was "wrapping [the] album up" and that More Chaos would release on April 11, Carson's birthday.
• Expanding upon the style and production of A Great Chaos,[15][16][17] it features a digitized[18] and loudly soft clipped sound,[11] distorted basslines[14] and 808 drums, varied synthesizers,[13] and Auto-Tuned vocals[15] and melodics. - yeah
• [19] The opening track "Lord of Chaos" sees Carson rap relentlessly over video game-esque synths and distorted 808s.
• [17] "Dismantled" sees Carson describe "brutal sex" over a machine-like, bass-driven beat.
• [25] Carson lyrically raps about drugs such as ecstasy and promethazine on its chorus, with Carti and Lonely's verses "covering similar ground", according to Uproxx's Derrick Rossignol.
• [3] Carson initially hinted at a Halloween 2024 release for More Chaos, which did not materialise.
• [16] The album's cover, which decipts Carson in a bloodied shirt against a white background, was shot by Spiders in the span of 10 minutes using the same camera that was used for the cover of A Great Chaos. In an interview with The Fader, he said the cover "needed [...] to be louder, crazier, bloodier" to match the fact it had "more chaos".

let's gooo another quality opium article Chchcheckit! Tag me once you've addressed everything Locust member (talk) 00:05, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

@Locust member: anything i missed you can ce yrself. otherwise: everything GA-os yeah we screaming more Chchcheckit (talk) 01:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

I did some copy editing (mainly just fixing typos and other minor tweaks) and I think this looks good for its current form. like I said above, it'd be good to keep on top of the coverage of this album until at least the end of the year so its broadness doesn't fade as new information comes out. but rn, this looks great. nice work on quickly pulling this to GA !!
