    Bill Callahan - Ytilaer

    Matski · 2 · Last reply by Matski

    Do you know if there is a review for Ytilaer by Bill Callahan on the way? While it was released digitally a few weeks ago, the vinyl release isn't set until next year so the review may be set for a later date.

    EDIT: I'd also be interested to know if Tim Sendra plans to review Laminated Denim by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It's been interesting watching him blaze through their prolific discography over the past few years. However, this new album seemed to have missed AllMusic's notifications, up until a couple of days ago. Glad to see

    Cave In Discography

    Matski · 1 · Last reply by Matski

    I recently enjoyed reading James Christopher Monger's review on Cave In's new record - Heavy Pendulum. AllMusic haven't always reviewed the band's records upon release, so it was a fantastic surprise to see one uploaded for it.

    However, what was a bit of a letdown was the state of the band's discography. There are currently some errors with it - too many to enter in the 'Submit Corrections' form. I was hoping I could submit the list of corrections here instead. Here are the issues I have spotted:

    1. According to the band's websites, Beyond Hypothermia was not first released in

    Reviews written in full, but still missing rating (3)

    Robert Woods · 3 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Got some unrated reviews I've found. (And most of all are rap albums again.) It might be very long as the previous, but could you fix those for full version? - Potluck - Pipe Dreams - UGK - Side Hustles - Wale - Folarin II - City Morgue - City Morgue, Vol. 2: As Good as Dead - G-Unit - The Beast Is G Unit - Blaze Ya Dead Homie - Clockwork Gray - Anuel AA - Real Hasta la Muerte - Killah Priest - Exorcist - Tech N9ne - Everready - Tech N9ne - Misery Loves Kompany - Tech N9ne - Killer - Stevie Stone - 2 Birds, 1 Stone

    Spotprime.net?

    Jeff adler · 2 · Last reply by Jeff adler

    Advertisement for Spotprime.net with large green “ACTIVATE” button seems to appear as part of your sign-up process. Very misleading as I accidentally signed up for that service which I now have to cancel. Never had that happen before as I’m exceedingly careful online. And they don’t apparently make it that easy to cancel.

    Incorrect track title on John Lennon's Imagine

    Jerry · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Allmusic has track 5 of Imagine titled as "I Don't Wanna Be A soldier" but the title, as per the original release is actually "I Don't Wanna Be A soldier Mama I Don't Wanna Die". Refer to attachment of back cover of the album.

    Rating doesn't match review

    Garseeya' · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Lyle Lovett's "Step Inside This House" has a very strong review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine but is only given three stars.

    I also found another inconsistency. The review for Pete Seeger/Arlo Guthrie's album "Together In Concert" describes their performance of "Guantanamera" as "horrid" and yet the track list notes it as an Allmusic "track pick."

    Why are there so many compilations in my recommendations now?

    rochelle218 · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    With the recent update to recommendations, the recommendations have become almost unusable for me. 90% of my recs are either:

    * Ones I've rated before: (I saw the previous question from 3 months ago, but this is still occurring) 

    * Compilation albums: These rarely showed up under the old rec list, but now most of my recommendations are some form of compilation album.

    Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this, or if not, is there a estimated timeline for the recs to be fixed?

    Editorial Group Request - The Top Albums of 2018 & 2019

    Matski · 2 · Last reply by anonymized

    At the end of 2019, AllMusic rolled-out a wonderful article that celebrated their favourite albums of the 2010s. To commemorate them, dozens of albums were updated to a full five-star rating. There was an exception; selected albums had to be at least two years old at the time of publication. With that in mind, I have two requests for the editoral team:

    - It's been more than two years since that article was published. Would the editorial team consider revisiting those albums from 2018 & 2019 that were previously ineligible for a five-star rating and award it to those they

    Gaslighting and Trolls; specifically on Rich White Honky Blues Hank Williams, Jr.

    Murray Winship · 7 · Last reply by Karl

    A really weird name pops up "Robert Berger" on this album with exactly 12 thumbs down overnight, while this fictitious character get 12 thumbs up. Do you find that a bit odd? Also, this problem with people sabotaging reviews seems to be happening more often. I've discovered a few culprits (Al King & Frederick Baptist) whom are currently posting. They seem to want to cancel each other out on their reviews quite frequently. Maybe we could model Allmusic.com after Linux's own "Google Music" where we can comment on each others comments without all this clandestined secrecy that invites trouble? What

    Font size and accessibility for visual impairment

    Paul Jolly · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    When I change the size of the font via the accessibility setting on my browser it affects some portions of the page but not others. For example, the short bio at the top and hotlinks at the bottom may be larger but the font in the drop-down menus is not always affected. In the attached screenshot you can see the text under the "Song Themes" drop-down is significantly smaller than that of the permanent menu hotlinks below. This function helps make it much easier for me to use your site (which I use often and enjoy and is one of

    request to review collaboration

    rootsmusic · 0 · Posted

    Unfortunately for me and despite their historical significance, I can guess your reason for passing on many new releases that interest me.  I can even guess why you're passing on a new release that features many guests dueting with an artist who you've consistently reviewed.  But I can't figure out why you're not reviewing a new debut that births a supergroup.

    Two leaders of different genres collaborate on this new release.  Spinning-off a new supergroup on an indie label without major distribution though, this collaboration involving their favorite group may be unknown even to fans.
