As a continuation of a thread from the old forum, I'd like to post any incidents here where a review is missing a rating. I'll continue to post here if more missing ratings are found, unless the moderators would prefer for seperate threads to be created with each newly-located incident.

Just one missing rating to start with:

• Touché Amoré - Stage Four

While the review is short, the reviewer does breifly descibe the music. Furthermore, a similarly short review for the act's previous album, 'Is Survived By' has already been rated.

Would anyone be willing to forward on another request? A few months ago, it was mentioned in a thread (see the Billie Eilish request) that the editorial team may consider review requests for albums with a large number of ratings and user reviews, regardless of their release date. Big Mistake! I've been slowly compiling a list of albums from the last decade that were never reviewed. Nearly all of them have over 100 user ratings and most have at least a couple of user reviews:

• Agnes Obel - Aventine
• Brockhampton - Saturation
• Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap
• Charli XCX

There's something I want to ask about your ratings. When an artist's album pick (the suggested entry point) differs from being their most highly-rated, editors usually provide criticisms in the review that explain why the album pick release hasn't received a higher rating. See Erykah Badu or Lou Reed.

Lately, I've noticed that there are occasions where criticisms weren't given to explain the choice. It has led me to wonder if errors were made instead. There are two very different acts that I wanted to highlight this with.

The first is the late Nanci Griffith. Once in a Very Blue

Not all of us use Spotify, Amazon and Apple for streaming.  YouTube Music is great for allowing the user to 'fill gaps' in their music libraries by uploading tracks, Bandcamp are by far the best financial supporters of musicians, and Tidal are well-regarded for their sound quality.  Please consider adding all three to the list of streaming services that we use.

An Open Letter to the Editors of AllMusic

Dear AllMusic team,

I’ve been with you since the All Music Guide first appeared on the Web in the mid-1990s, not long after Michael Erlewine’s Gopher archive became a fully fledged website. 

Your liner-note rigour taught me how to listen, and since 1999 I’ve written a few hundred long-form reviews myself. Even when I demolished Cher’s Believe, I spelled out why—because an artist deserves at least that much respect.

That respect is exactly what’s missing from huge swathes of the current user-review feed. One profile—Simone Appolloni—now shows 60 015 reviews spanning 82

Ads that blink and block content keep popping up and I can't make them go away. Aggressive ads are killing an otherwise very good side and I don't think I'll keep coming back until ads are kept at a decent level (to the side, non-blinking). They really bug the heck out of me and almost make me panic in my unsuccessful attempts to make them go away. I can't focus on the site with them there and then there's no point in my coming back is there.

Is there any chance of implementing a toggle to the artist name column, in the advanced search? Having the ability to order between artists alphabetically or reverse-alphabetically would be very helpful. It seems odd that the other three columns have this feature but this one doesn't.

See above.

You want people to share honest, thorough perspectives and opinions about records. To do this, you need to give us space to do it. I'm 3000 characters is insufficient here, and I ask you to please consider extending the length of reviews. If you want to be a destination for people to learn, be inspired, and buy, this is a way to do that.

I used to be able to copy the album cover art image on allmusic. Now it won't let me. Was this change intentional? Is there a way to copy the image? Thanks.

I have a paid acct because I value your content. However lately when I try to login a popup video ad covers the login. Very annoying, please fix. Using Brave browser (based on Chrome) on Win 10 system. Thanks, Andrew

On my page -- https://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-lazarus-mn0002939648?501c845cc4cbe592d9243b123394d1bc -- the top album should be "Viviencias en clave cubana by Kiki Valera". That record was released October 18, 2019. The record at the top was released BEFORE, on March 1, 2019. Why does that record in particular not appear in chronological order? Every other album is listed correctly by release date. Please fix this. Thank you. 

Congrats on the new home AMG staffers. To help you get things started here I wanted to ask if it would be possible to get some new albums listed for review. All of these are already out digitally but are still awaiting physical release. It would be interesting to get your reviewer's opinions on the following:

• [07/17] The Soft Pink Truth - Shall We Go on Sinning So That Grace May Increase?
• [07/17] Yaeji - What We Drew
• [08/07] Laura Marling - Song for Our Daughter
• [08/21] Alchemist & Freddie Gibbs - Alfredo
• [08/21] Jeff Rosentock - No Dream

Out

For years, I've benefitted from the reviews of new classical releases. As best as I can tell, there have not been any reviews of classical so far in 2026 (apart from a few cross-genre type albums). 

I found out today that Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night has passed away. I just thought it would be nice if you could post something in his honor on your main page. Thank you.

Why do you miss out more and more new albums? I just listen on Tidal to "Trilogy 3" by Chick Corea with his trio, published last year (2025). In the discography you have only Trilogy 2 (2018).

Hi! I'm a longtime subscriber and notice S.G. Goodman’s latest album "Planting By the Signs"  hasn’t been reviewed yet. It's a critically praised release with national coverage (Pitchfork 8.1, Paste, Americana Highways), and it would be a great addition to the site. 

Would you consider reviewing it, please? 

Many thanks, Lee (I love AMG!)

Hello. I would like to see Bandcamp added to the available preferred streaming service choices. Thanks.

The Everly Brothers bad ass cover of Little Richard's 'Keep A Knockin' first appears on their very first self-titled album. You don't have that listed as an Everlys album it appears on!

I have used the site to look up songs to see what albums they appear on, but as time has gone by, there has been clutter added by new pages for a song being created just to show another album the song is part of.  This makes it necessary to access all the pages for a song to see all the albums for a song.  If you want paid subscriptions, you need to consolidate everything into a single page per song ... otherwise it isn't worth paying for. 

It's bad enough that Bryan Adams made things harder by demanding his
