Everyone Has an Opinion — Share Yours. AllMusic Now Has User Reviews
Archival post from 2015:
We’ve launched a new feature that lets you share your detailed insights and opinions on the albums you love. Now on AllMusic you can submit your own reviews on the albums that have changed your life, let people know what you think about a new release, or take down one of those sacred cows that you’ve always thought was overrated.
Reading and Writing Reviews
Now on album pages, you’ll see a tab that says User Reviews. From here, logged-in users can write, edit and submit their own reviews for display on AllMusic. Give us your insights, opinions and raves to help other AllMusic users find that hidden gem that needs the spotlight. The reviews must be between 50 and 3,000 characters in length. Because spam is horrible, we will not be allowing hyperlinks in these user-submitted reviews.
Show Your Reviews On Your AllMusic Profile
To create your AllMusic Profile so you can display all of your reviews in one place, simply navigate to the Profile Settings page in your user account and create your unique URL. If you’ve signed in with Facebook, your profile picture will show up automagically. You can write a bio for yourself or remain mysterious. You can see your profile page by clicking “My Profile” at the top of the page.
Sharing Your Reviews With The World
If you have a public profile on AllMusic, you can now publish your reviews on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or via email, simply by clicking the share icons by each review. If you are not seeing these links, make sure your profile is public by navigating to your Profile Settings page and making sure User Profile Visibility is set to “Public.”
Upvoting and Moderating the AllMusic Community
As a logged-in user, you have the ability to guide the AllMusic community toward the more helpful reviews. Each user review contains a Thumbs Up and a Thumbs Down icon, so that logged-in users can mark the reviews they find most helpful (or downgrade a review that doesn't add value to the site). Additionally, if a review is offensive, spammy, or otherwise inappropriate, clicking the "Report Inappropriate" link will notify us that the review might need moderation or removal.
Keeping Your Friends Connected With Your Favorite Music
As music fans, we know how hard it can be to clue other people into your music knowledge, which is why we're so excited to introduce this feature that makes it easier for you to share your opinions and recent discoveries.
