    It is disappointing to see that All Music engages in censorship

    Cargocoffee · 3 · Last reply by Murray Winship

    It is disappointing to see that All Music engages in censorship.

    In response to the review of Ryan Adams new album in which the reviewer didn't actually discuss the merits of the record but instead focused on the controversy surrounding the artist, I wrote the following:

    ”Well, that is an embarrassing non-review by All Music. I get it: Ryan Adams is a creep. But you know what? Many if not most artists are creeps. Is All Music going to go back and down review records put out by Jerry Lee Lewis? Led Zepplin? Phil Spector?

    User reviews down on mobile site

    Mark P · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    User reviews have been down for 3 days on mobile site - fine on desktop. Also absurd I have to log in here separately and just as absurd to not have a contact us link on the allmusic site. And yes I am a paid subscriber.

    Complex bottom bar is problematic

    Flipbiscuit123 · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    The COMPLEX bar at the bottom of the page is annoying for a couple of reasons:

    1. It seems to offer nothing other than a link to your Facebook and Twitter pages and a link to Complex itself. It's taking up a lot of screen real estate to accomplish those things. Yes, I can click to minimize it to a corner, but guess what, everyt ime I click any link to load a new page, it's big again. Can you please have a cookie remember my preference? I don't care about your Facebook and Twitter. (Several minutes later...) Um, I

    Are user names only recognized for sharing playlists & doing reviews?

    Karen · 3 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    I've updated profile for a user name & avatar through gravatar.  No problems.  But on a conversation page I've typed in response - didn't submit b/c my full name, not user name is showing?

    Sarah Vaughan

    Tom F Gunn · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    I just recently became a fan of Sarah Vaughan. Accordingly I came to AllMusic looking for your choice in her pages under discography/compilations. It is quite a list and I expected to find a release that was your choice. Couldn't find one. Have you not selected one or more of these as your choice? Seems strange given what a great talent and the large number of releases. A selected choice would help anyone who, like me, is or has recently discovered her.

    rating doesn't match with review

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    (After watching the movie, I checked out its soundtrack.)  The soundtrack's review concluded "the album is by and large a mediocre collection", but it was rated 4.5 stars?  Many rating mismatches are arguable, but some are obvious mistakes.

    Hey guys, I simply love the stylesheet used for Allmusic best of 2020. Please make this your default on the webpage! :D

    The colors, the fonts, the hover-states. It's all so beautiful. Welcome to 2020!

    Site is taking too long to load.

    Brian · 2 · Last reply by Brian

    The homepage loads quickly.  I have no other issues on any other webpages, but the actually loading of bands and discographies is taking up to 1 minute to load.  It seems to be a glitch loading graphics on the website.  I am a member, and I've been having this problem for at least a month.  Tonight it made it very difficult to do basic research.

    replace blurbs when reviewing a release

    rootsmusic · 0 · Posted

    When reviewers decide to review a release, they should take a look at the initial release's review (if any).  For example, Dryden's review of the release could have easily bracketed his last two sentences to refer to the bonus disc.  If he did so, then his extended review could have replaced the initial release's blurb by Vinopal.

    Currently my account login is through Facebook.  I'd like to remove the attachment to Facebook, and just create a login for the AM site.  Is there a way I can do that?

    Hi AllMusic

    after just reading tj's high praise for meredith d'ambrosio and her album by myself, I copied+sent the text to her, a dear friend. She already wrote back thanking me warmly and asked if I knew how to contact him so she can send him her appreciation. Thanks in advance for any help!

    uncredited but in credits

    Why does Rufus Thibodeaux's credits include Neil Young's album, on which Rufus wasn't actually credited?

    Why is it that when I do a search I get 10 results for the same song?

    Kevin York · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Why is it that I have to open up 3-20 links to get a full set of albums for a song.      For instance    Look up Da' Butt by E.U. and hit enter.   You will see dozens of links and have to click on each one because none have the whole set.   Some show no albums..  others may show a few.  It is exhausting.  

     I am curious if something is broken or if it has always been this way?  I have another 1000-2000 songs to add albums too.  Allmusic has been great, but each tab bogs my i5

    website referesh

    Hello there. Love your site and use it religiously. However, i think at may be in your best interests to completely refresh your website. Key improvements could facilitate and increase traffic and make it just a more user friendly intuitive experience. Maybe not in the budget but i reckon it would pay for itself.

    helpfulness of reviews

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    I wish that users can give feedback about whether a staff review is helpful or unhelpful.  If many users find a staff review is unhelpful, then those (e.g. blurbs) that should either be deleted or rewritten can be identified.  Staff reviewers will also improve their own writing based on feedback.

    New layout is horrible and renders your website useless.

    David Schrimpf · 3 · Last reply by Peter Hall

    If you're going to plaster ads all over the page, can you make sure they work and not destroy the lay out of your website? It's impossible to read anything now because the ads are screwing up the coding.

    Just wanted to say thankyou as I've been using All Music for years and years to look up producers, mixers and engineers using the Credits feature and it is invaluable to me. I only just realised there is a paid subscription, very happy to do that. I really appreciate the paid subscription isn't shoved down the throats of users unlike so many other sites, but I am surprised I didn't know about it at all after using it so long! Anyway, thanks for providing a great service! I get a lot of enjoyment out of discovering who has worked on
