    Gipsy Kings Allegria album listing has inaccurate cover and year

    Peter Lacy · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Dear Allmusic:

    I love your site!!

    Along with submitting my review for your approval today, I would like to mention that the listing on your site for the Gipsy Kings’ album Allegria is inaccurate. That album was originally released in 1982 (using a different cover that I provided here as an attachment). The version currently on your site is better suited to the Gipsy Kings' compilation page.

    Please see my review (which I am also posting below)

    Thanks,

    Peter Lacy (a 20-year loyal follower of your site)

    Allegria

    This amazing album, first released in 1982, was the actual recording debut

    Ages ago the All Music website had a genre-selection control in the form of an interactive, 3D, ball of spikes. Is there some place I can still find an example of that?

    song and performance entities

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    At album-level, the soundtrack credits its first track's composer only to "Traditional".  But at song-level, two composers are added.

    From Los Lobos' version, I discovered that the song was "also performed by" Lalo Guerrero in collaboration with the band.  When I click on their song collaboration though, it's instead linked to Los Lobos' own version.  The album that released their collaborative version wasn't listed among the albums where the band's own version appears on (the same song page on which I discovered the song was also performed by Lalo Guerrero in collaboration with the band).

    I'm confused.

    When sorting by artist/album, Los Lobos' albums are interspersed among those by various artists.

    Hi,

    I've been attempting to purchase a paid subscription but am not able to complete the transaction. I've tried using Firefox and Chrome on my phone both with and without the VPN I normally use, and tried on my PC, again using Firefox and Chrome with VPN turned off as well. I see that there is a HTTP 402 error from Stripe when I click the "Submit Payment" button.

    I've checked the credit card and I'm not being charged.

    Allmusic Janus like nature (two faces) ....

    Chris Kent · 0 · Posted

    Story in two parts:

    1. I recently posted a strong complaint about a pop up ("AllMusic would like to send you notifications about albums ...") that does not go away when I log in (I subscribe). My intent was to complain to what I believed would be an unresponsive digital entity. Instead I received a fast reply from a person - one "Zac" the stalwart one-person support system here. It included an admission that the pop-up should go away when I log-in ie I am right. That is a remarkable admission from a corporate rep. And it is the first

    The track ( Sensational Feeling ), of our artist ( LY. ) ended up on an existing profile with a different genre and several credits, we believe that it is about another artist. https://www.allmusic.com/album/sensational-feeling-mw0004011533 https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ly-mn0000805890/discography https://open.spotify.com/artist/7ypPYDDrtfnN3NZUIf9K5V  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14433449

    Multiple Entries: Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished & Dreamweapon

    Matski · 2 · Last reply by Matski

    Have the editorial team decided that they like both reviews of Animal Collective's Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished that they decided to keep them both? Kinda strange to have two entries for it. Was it done on purpose?

    Also, there are two entries fo Spacemen 3's Dreamweapon (first entry and second entry) though I doubt that's intentional. Any chance of merging them?

    Firewall Security Alert

    Günther Albrecht · 6 · Last reply by Zac

    During the last weeks, loading Allmusic.com pages on my local macs causes an Alert in firewall logs (CheckPoint Quantum Spark 1550, last firmware) about Bot activities:

    Scanning locally for malware has no results and the alert only appears when accessing allmusic.com ! As i could not explain that Google DNS is asked for a malware site url it seems appropriate to report that.

    kind regards,

    Wrong review for Madonna's frozen

    For Madonna's Frozen single the AllMusic review is talking about Fever and Bad Girl. Is this the correct review or not? I don't believe it is the right review so what should be done about this?

    Mid-year best so far?

    joe s · 1 · Last reply by joe s

    Please consider having a middle of the year "best of 202# so far...". Wouldn't need to be as extensive as the year end review, maybe a handful of albums from each of your critics. It would be a nice way to catch up with albums you highly recommend that people may have overlooked rather than wait 'til the end of the year. thanks.

    1 star user reviews

    joe s · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    User reviews are mostly useful and helpful. However, I see way too many 1/2 start or 1 star review for albums that have average critic and user reviews of four stars or higher. Why do you allow those when clearly these people have agendas against the artist or genre and very likely didn't even listen to the album? You should at least require they explain themselves instead of one sentence comments. The latest I saw was Jessie Ware/That feels good, but there are many examples.

    new albums by previously highly rated artists

    tv · 3 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    When an artist's previous album was highly rated, it always sits a bit uneasy with me it the new one isn't even reviewed. So if you don't mind, I'll occasionally post an example of that here, in the hope it might still be remedied. Exhibit one: Conway the Machine's new album 'Won't He Do It'. https://www.allmusic.com/album/wont-he-do-it-mw0003973881

    Thanks in advance!

    Just one recording in the musical legacy of a roots music giant, his label's film soundtrack has a set of songs that differ from Howard Armstrong's solo album.
