Advanced Search album genre tagging not working properly

Hello AllMusic,

When searching (for example) for all 'main albums' in the 'heavy metal' genre rated 4.5 and above in the years 2020 - 2022, I've noticed several albums that actually meet these criteria are being wrongly excluded in the search results.

For example, Korn's 'Requiem' album was released in 2022, scored 4.5 and is tagged by yourselves as falling under the 'heavy metal' genre, yet would not appear in the above advanced search. Same for albums such as 'Imperia' by 'Ghost'.

Searching for other genres, it appears that this problem persists across all genres, not just 'heavy metal'.

Please can the Advanced Search feature be fixed so that it catches all relevant albums in any given search criteria instead of omitting most albums that fit the criteria you're searching for?

Many Thanks

Marc

Hi Marc,

To be honest, the system behind our Advanced Search has been degrading for some time now. In the upcoming weeks we hope to roll out a new back-end for this feature that should resolve the issues you are seeing.

Thanks for your patience.

Zac, I hope to finally be able to sort Advanced Search's results by artist.  Related to the original problem, I suggested an idea to include the artist's styles.
