Hello,

I'm considering a paid subscription, as I value AllMusic's content, but cannot tolerate the advertising. However, in the Terms of Service, it's stated that "Limited Third-Party Advertising is the only benefit conferred to a User who registers for a Paid Subscription." There's no further clarification on what this entails.

What exactly is meant by "Limited Third-Party Advertising"? How much and what type of advertising would I expect to see as a paid subscriber?

Thanks.

I appreciate the forum but I'd appreciate a direct response from someone at All Music directly.

Since the website has been updated forcing users to disable ad blockers, how is it that others are able to browse the website at all? I'm using Safari 17.3.1 on my desktop. It is literally not possible to use this website now with all the advertisements popping up and causing the web pages to move around on its own.  

I understand ads pay for the service and I'm not complaining about that. For the handful of times I use this resource over the year, it's not reasonable of me to pay for a subscription so I'm happy to allow

(This isn't the only advertiser whose ad slides out.)  Ads are sliding out to overlay the content on my iPad.  When I scroll up/down, the slide-out ad scrolls along so I can't read what's being overlayed.  The ads also don't have a control to be closed.

You have already mounted an impassioned defense of Simone Appolloni's reviews in AllMusic, but your defense is weak. His/her reviews are banal, sophomoric, and purposefully contrarian or negative. I have yet to see a positive or even neutral review. You say he is not a bot, but look, the reviews read like a bot - they are all canned, repetitive. And especially, they are unhelpful. Why would someone spew so much nonsense onto your site? The only good thing about the reviews is at least they are thankfully brief. Why you let Simone Appolloni remain as a reviewer is a

The first thing I see of your site is it whining about my ad blocker, completely obscuring all of the content.

One problem though: WHAT ad blocker? I'M ON A PHONE! My browser is in its stock configuration, I don't even think it has an option to add an ad blocker. And if one is built in, I can't do anything with it.

So you've blocked me from viewing your website for literally no fault of mine, thanks. 

The new album by Caroline Polachek, whose previous one was favorable reviewed by AllMusic, has received 60 user reviews in 5 weeks, but still no review by an AllMusic editor. Hope that might still be rectified. :)

Thanks in advance!

Allmuic pages are hogging resources. Memory and download time. This seems to be because of video adverts, it makes allmusic unausable.

I don't have problems with other websites, just yours.

I am switching to discogs for a while, sorry , but some of your pages are literally unusable.

NEW Album "BETWEEN" with Leszek Mozdzer

Could someone find out if there are plans to review of these two artists recent albums? Beth Orton's new album - Weather Alive, seems to picking quite a few fans amongst the critics. Some such as Pitchfork's Sam Sadomsky have even claimed that it's her best yet. While I don't personally agree, I'd still be very interested to read your editor's own views on it.

I'd also be interested to hear their opinions on Molly Tuttle's Crooked Tree. I know your reviewers have only been moderately impressed by her previous work but I'd still be intrigued to see what they

For the last few months I have lost all access to AllMusic. I am in New Zealand. So there is no reason we would be blocked. AllMusic is always being updated. I have a paid subscription. I have tried to contact AllMusic but I guess they don’t care. Never got an answer. So I am losing all faith in AllMusic. I guess I would like my subscription money back if they are going to block me. I tried to support you. You in turn don’t give a toss about me, Finally found this forum,

I used to be able to hone the recommendations I receive by clicking "not interested" for albums that were bad recommendations. Why is that no longer an option?

It looks like someone review-bombed the album Cruel Country by Wilco. Over 40 one-star reviews in one day, that can't be right. Also, upvoting all negative reviews and downvoting all positive ones. Hopefully this gets looked into - that kind of behavior shouldn't be allowed or encouraged on this site. 

Given how hectic the next few weeks are with new releases, it's likely that your writers are very busy with their current workload. However, I'd really appreciate it if any of them would consider writing a review for either of the following two albums:

Saba - Few Good Things

Kinda surprised this new Saba album hasn't been reviewed yet. His last album was so well-received that it earned a spot on your 'Decade in Review' list. Even if your reviewers find that this new release doesn't reach the same heights of its predecessor, It would still be great to get

Recently (about one week ago) on the page "Recommendations" began to show albums, which I had previously rated. It shouldn't be like this, right?

On my iPhone SE 2020, running iOS 15.3.1, a pop-up ad blocks the first item in the “Appears On” album list on a Song Info page such as this one.

It happens in Safari and Firefox, but not in Chrome or Edge. It’s also a new problem that only began occurring in the past few weeks — at least, that’s when I noticed it.

I’ve attached a screenshot from Safari showing the problem.

P.S. A new problem I just discovered is that I can’t paste copied text into this message form. That’s why I had to give the URL for the

I'm surprised that your editors didn't review Anaïs Mitchell's new album.  Critics from most music publications have chosen to review it.  Unlike Allmusic, they also reviewed her last album of originals from a decade ago.

After a decade, she has something original to say on record again.  When a singer-songwriter self-titles an eponymous album, I always regard it as a personal statement.  Even among fellow Grammy winners, she stands out for having won a Tony Award too.
