high ≥ 0.90 · emerging ≥ 0.65 · low below — calibrated against hand-rated truth (single-source .44 · two-source .62 · production-typical .70), so a band is a measurement, not a promise. High is rare by design: it needs both a supported assertion and an evidence sentence. A confirmed or contradicted chip is a Wikidata cross-check; no chip means Wikidata has no value for that property — the ordinary case here, and it says nothing either way. A confirm-only note marks a property whose check can never disagree (Wikidata's border and capital data is not exhaustive), so silence there is a limit of the check, not of the claim.

evidence “‘So Rides The Reindeer’’s mesh of Missy Elliot beats, handclaps and bittersweet acoustic guitar make for something more akin to Gorillaz but a welcome first of an Interpol record as Banks matches the fever dream (“Up is down, tonight we drown”) ahead of drummer Sam Fogarino showing off his undersung flair on the Truax bass earworm of ‘Darling Thoughts’ and the Talking Heads carnival rhythms and the scratchy funk on ‘Wake Up’, taking things to a more hedonistic high.” nme.com · read source
