    Question about metadata on song pages

    Christian · 3 · Last reply by Christian

    Hello guys,

    I have a question regarding the song pages. I'm aware that you group the songs ("Performance" in your wording) by title, composers and artists.

    So, when I update, say, a genre on one of your song pages, other song pages with the same song but small differences in the title or different composers are not updated. Of course, it's clear why this happens.

    Now I'm wondering why genres, styles, moods, and themes are exactly the same for "different" songs although my updates are not applied to them.

    Here is an example: (1) https://www.allmusic.com/song/never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive-mt0015185670 (2) https://www.allmusic.com/song/ill-never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive-mt0000160425

    Both are obvious

    Incorrect composer information

    Bruce Raterink · 0 · Posted

    "What Kind of Love is This?" incorrectly lists Graham Nash as the composer when in fact it was Johnny Nash. This is incorrect on several album listings.

    incorrect artist information

    Phil Lewis · 0 · Posted

    Hello->

    Phil Lewis here. I notice that the All Music Guide entry for me (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/phil-lewis-mn0000342305) is incorrect. This is understandable as I have the same name another musical artist. The other Phil Lewis is the former singer for the metal band LA Guns (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/la-guns-mn0000778906). I, on the other hand, am a guitarist and producer working mostly in jazz.

    Therefore, the photo is correct for me as are the releases Shadow and Light (https://www.allmusic.com/album/shadow-and-light-mw0002999768) and Sacred Science (https://www.allmusic.com/album/sacred-science-mw0003309157). The other recordings listed are presumably by the other Phil Lewis.

    Here is a complete discography:

    Neal Morse - Sola Gratia review request

    Marco · 1 · Last reply by Marco

    Hello! I think it would be nice to have a review of the last album by Neal Morse, titled Sola Gratia and published in 2020. Here you can find some info by the record label.

    Also, just another question. I noticed that my correction submissions (even the most simple and source-reliable) have not been considered for months, while previously they received feedback even within a few weeks. In fact, I got many credits from liner notes of my albums that can be added but my contributions are no longer implemented.

    Thank you for your help!

    Best Christmas Albums list/article? Featured lists/articles archive?

    bryan_reynolds · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    Looking for a Best Christmas Albums list or article. Surprised not to see one on the front page for the holiday season.

    I guess in general, is there a way to search for past featured lists and articles? I tried using google targeted search (e.g. [“christmas albums” site:allmusic.com/blog], results were not relevant.

    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

    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 · 3 · 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.

    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.
