Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Feeling Good Is Good Enough” is album by ASG. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Feeling, Good and Enough, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current 74-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005. For this dossier, Feeling, Good and Enough is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “album by ASG” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3742029. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
