Delete per nom. No evidence of RS coverage at all, never charted anywhere. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - found reviews in Prog archives and Encyclopaedia Metallum. --Ashley yoursmile! 13:11, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None of those are reliable, sorry. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 19:15, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've added a reference from a published magazine. They were covered with a review and interview in Fireworks Magazine (in the UK) in which Circle of Life was also talked about. --User:EducatedOwl (talk) 08:10, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:NALBUM. The sources presented by Ashleyyoursmile, including the ones in the article, are reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 00:50, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, Encyclopaedia Metallum has been considered generally unreliable as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. As for the Prog archives review, the reviewer is someone named Alexander Peterson, aka RUNE2000, and a Google search on neither his real name or his alias shows anything to attest for said reviewer's notability or significance in the music reviewing industry.

As for the references in the article, the first one is a Rockarena.com.uk, which is a website without an About Us section and no established reliability or independence. They have 5000 FB likes on their page and their articles read like fan contributions. And BTW, their entire 'article' is a copy-paste of this band PR. The second reference is Fireworks Magazine, which is not available online, but even if assuming Wikipedia:Assume good faith there is no reason to assume the magazine itself is notable, reliable or a metric to attest for notability. Even if it were, that would only be one reference and hence not a pass of WP:NALBUM#1 which reads "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it.".

That being said, could you clarify if you don't agree with any of these points? nearlyevil 665 05:03, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
