Fails WP:NALBUM. Metacritic ref links to Rolling Stone which is a deadlink, so quick WP:V failed. (article is result of COI/promo activity) Widefox; talk 11:34, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As noted in the Benji Hughes article, this album was reviewed by Chuck Klosterman of Esquire[1], Jon Pareles of The New York Times[2], Spin [3], NPR [4], Rolling Stone [5] (viewable at archive.org, 4/5 rating, just as Metacritic said), Slate [6][7] Despite poor sales, it has since remained a subject of discussion in terms like "cult classic" e.g., The Believer[8], Vulture.com [9], NPR [10], Charlotte Observer [11][12]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:19, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This quote from the above mentioned Vulture.com [13] article sells it for me. How often is something like this said about a record?: "A Love Extreme is one of those rare records that merit the overused designation “cult classic.” It was released in 2008 by New West Records...the label didn’t know what to do with A Love Extreme...The album has sold just over 6,000 copies. Very few people have heard A Love Extreme, in other words, but some inordinate percentage of those who have adore it." I do agree the page should have more details beyond the track list and may take a shot at it when I have some time. Lacivi (talk) 20:51, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I consider the sources presented above as enough evidence to establish notability. → Call me Razr Nation 09:33, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
