Album (Serbian Cyrillic: Албум, lit. "Album") is the debut/second/third/etc. album by folk singer Artist, released in year, by Studio. Here you can write a short description of the album, write notes such as if it is the only known album in an artist's discography, the rarity of an album, or anything else notable that wouldn't fit in the Background or Release section. Over the course of developing your article, please avoid any and all personal statements like "I think", "you'd think that", "we worked on restoring", etc.

Background

You can write about historical events that occurred that influenced the album like in the case of Borovo Selo and Zbogom oružje but please do not not bloat the Background section. Provide details in clear and concise manner, summarize whenever possible, and most importantly be as impartial as humanly possible. In the event that a historical event only affects one song, however, only make a brief mention of it as seen in Ljubo Granata. If you know the history of the album with the case of Pravoslavci or Ne dam Krajine, no matter how brief, should be added.

Use citations whenever possible. If your information comes from a sensitive source and are unable to include it, please make note of it in the submission notes. Getting your information, however, from someone who said that according to this guy his friend of a friend is in possession of the Lagao me lagao master is not a viable source unless backed up by interviews or any other official means. If your information comes from rumors or forum posts that has information that hasn't been backed up, refrain from including it. You really think people would do that; Spread misinformation online? In this community, this has sadly happened more times than you'd think. On that note, please read how to properly cite information on a site such as Writing "For unknown reasons" and "It is speculated that" as long as it is plausible. For example, "Due to the lack of information on the release itself, it is unknown if Dragutin was granted permission to use these songs in the compilation" is okay, but "It is speculated/assumed that Baja intentionally rushed Idemo dalje in order to use its poor sales as a tax write-off" is not.

No information? No problem. Writing about the people involved with the production such as "Album would have Orchestra as the backing band and Lyricist, who worked on Another Album four years prior as the primary lyricist, would return for this album, though with significantly less involvement" is fine. Writing about the album's cover design in a way where its elements are explained is okay. Comparing music styles and the subject matter they cover to previous albums is also okay. It is important, however, to avoid inserting your personal opinion and prevent the usage of weighted words à la a personal review. Something to the effect of "The crude photo-editing of Ne damo mi svoje's cover and double-fold may have been due to the lack of resources" is fine, but "The disgusting color gradient used in Nedam te! really shows how shitty Yugoslavia's GDP was because my grandpa who died before photoshop was invented and who was severely colorblind could coordinate color better" or even "This is one of the worst Yugoslav war albums out there" is not.

Most importantly, if you don't have anything to add here and/or to the Release section, just put "[TBA]".

Release

Album was released on 1st January 2000 (most times you will use "in [Year]", but in the event that the album has a complete date, EU date format is preferable since citations use it). This is the equivalent to the "Reception/Legacy" part of albums on a certain virtual encyclopedia. Please do not write "Album currently has a cult following" or any variation of it as that can be said for any album that has surfaced online. It is only in very rare occasions where it can be used, though the label mostly applies to songs and artists more than albums.

Like with the Background section, avoid statements like "It is one of the worst albums of all time" or "it's one of the best albums made about the war" unless if it is public opinion which is hard to prove in the first place (no, YouTube is not public opinion, it is a bubble; forums aren't, either). You are not a judge in the court of public opinion, you are merely a part of the audience.

While overall repetitive, if the album is online via an "official" source and if notable enough, writing "with the audio quality in poor condition, it is assumed/speculated that the master is lost", "with the rights being questionable at best, it is assumed that the master is lost", and even "the origin of the audio is currently unknown" are fine as long as they are plausible. Do not write statements such as "Due to SuperTon's greed in the present day, they are the current 'rights holders' of Srbima za sva vremena". Like in Background, avoid opinionated statements and do not use sources you can't use. This is a formal article, not your personal review. If you, the author, are responsible for a restoration of a tape and are writing an article (i.e. BalkanMapper creates an article about Oda zavičaju, Generacide creates an article on Vera pravoslavna, Randomatribute20k creates an article about Srpkinjo, majko, rađaj sinove, etc.) avoid self-inserting. Something brief like "Randomatribute would upload the album on YouTube in 2023" is fine, but statements like "Generacide would obviously provide the best quality of the album out there because preserving historical media is his M.O." or "BalkanMapper would blow all of these companies out of the water because he actually cares about this stuff" is absolutely, positively, not tolerated. Don't write about the quest to acquire the album like "Random's tape plug one day emailed her the tape offer of a lifetime", either.

Lastly, you can talk about tape variations here. Duplication, print, and overall quality can be noted, but refrain from making this a critique.
