Why it is "Almost a month later, "Arular" was released in the UK with two extra tracks", while tracklist for US release contains 13 tracks and the tracklist for UK release contains 14 tracks? Is it a mistake or there are really 15 tracks on UK release?

==Re-assessment==

Start class:

Y A reasonably complete infobox
Y A lead section giving an overview of the album
Y A track listing
Y Reference to at least primary personnel by name (must specify performers on the current album; a band navbox is insufficient)
Y Categorisation at least by artist and year

C class:

Y All the start class criteria
Y A reasonably complete infobox, including cover art
Y At least one section of prose (in addition to the lead section)
Y A track listing containing track lengths and authors for all songs
Y A "personnel" section listing performers, including guest musicians.

B class:

Y All the C class criteria
Y A completed infobox, including cover art and most technical details
Y A full list of personnel, including technical personnel and guest musicians
Y No obvious issues with sourcing, including the use of blatantly improper sources.
Y No significant issues exist to hamper readability, although it may not rigorously follow WP:MOS

Good job! Some sections should be written in prose such as Singles and Song usage in other media. Release history could be expanded, see WP:Albums for that. Otherwise great! Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
