Just a heads up: Various and random link problems 7:00 CST (Thanks)

A few things I am noticing today (all random)

Staff Picks links not always working.

Random Similar Album links not retrieving known similar albums.

Random missing track listings.

Click on an Album cover in advanced search, or similar albums and instead of retrieving the album it calls the search engine with the album title and returns everything related to that title search.

Thanks for the detail.

We will occasionally have an issue where one (or more) of the servers in our server farm gets updated/replaced by our hosting service and it will become out of sync with the rest of the servers. So you'll get a page just fine once, then refresh and you get a blank page. Or a click-through to an album will fail (and we re-direct you to search results). Or you'll have a page loaded, but the secondary call to load part of the page (a review or a biography or a credits list) will fail because the request can't find the new server.

It is an issue we are working to resolve, but often we just have to do a manual rebuild of all of our servers to get them all talking to each other consistently.

Thanks for the heads-up.

It should be better currently.

Thanks. We're jabbing at it now. See if we can bring it back to life.

Zac, I experienced problems on an iPad.  Once an artist page has loaded, it still wouldn't load parts of that page when I try to open the artist's biography or discography.
