    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.

    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

    The most unpleasant website I've every used

    Michael Mchlb · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Just the most unpleasant website I've every used  - literally the most unpleasant, the most difficult, the most problematic. I know it's about monetizing but you couldn't be more annoying if you were actually trying to annoy. I click on something and an ad gets in the way, I try to type and suddenly I am clicking on an ad, I close out an ad and another ad pops up, I try to scroll and nothing happens or it causes a different ad to get in the way. You are a great resource but I am going to do my

    In advance search feature, it would be nice to add user rating column, so we can sort by that category.

    Album Highlights - Forced Gallery View

    CMart · 2 · Last reply by CMart

    My dearest friends, we have lost an absolutely critical feature. In any album overview section, we are now forced to use the gallery-grid view. This is frustrating switch because we can no longer see the year of the album or the allmusic rating. We now have to manually click each one? I've been using AMG since the early 2000's and changes like this make it seem less like a true database. We used to have the option to use Gallery View or List View. Please bring that back.

    AllMusic is great, but...

    Michaël · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    I love AllMusic, use it a lot and therefore have a paid subscription, but there's still one thing I really miss about it. I've made the suggestion before and I'm gonna do it again.

    Please refer to the attached screenshot, which will speak for itself (it's the old website layout, but that shouldn't bother).

    Kind regards, Michaël.

    Add the date an album review was written

    Philip B · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Hi, I'm a big fan of AllMusic and have used the site for years. One thing I've always wanted to know is the date an album review was written, to put it into context as either a contemporary or retrospective review, as critical consensus can change over the years. Is this technically possible at all? Thanks.

    Improvement for ease of use of discography

    Paul Jolly · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    It would be very helpful for me if there were a link on each album page that allowed me to go directly to the previous or next album in the artist's discography. Often I will look up artists and read all the entries in their discography. When doing this I consider it an unnecessary hassle to have to keep clicking back to the artist's main page to choose the next album to read. I think a very simple fix could solve this issue and make your site much more user friendly for music nerds who want to read an entire

    An export feature would be nice

    Sheldon Zimmerman · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    An export feature would be nice in case your site ever goes down and I lose all my data like I did the last time your site went through a reorganization.

    expand user base

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    In order to survive, Allmusic needs to expand its user base.  Doing so will add more subscribers, at the risk of pandering to commercialism, minimizing indie artists and feeding into the marketing cycle.  If social media pop can become viral, then Allmusic should jump on the TikTok bandwagon.

    AllMusic's 2026 Five-Star Album Update

    Matski · 2 · Last reply by Matski

    Visiting your website recently has led to some unexpected surprises for us regular users. For anyone here who hasn't noticed yet, over one-hundred albums from AllMusic's database were re-rated in the last week and I'd say that the majority of them were worthy call-ups.

    The update did bring about some ideas that I'd like to ask your editorial team about:

    1. After a previous update like this one, I asked your editors if there were releases in those freshly updated discographies that were also worthy of a new four-and-a-half star rating where there no longer any. They kindly responded to that

    Advanced Search lacks a filter for reissues, which I want to exclude from results.

    Show "Collection" in order saved

    J · 0 · Posted

    When I save an album to my "Collection," i.e., albums I want to buy in the future, it would be nice if they were listed in the order I saved them, instead of alphabetical. I have so many albums saved that I forget who exactly the artist is and why I saved them. Then I have to go back through the reviews all over again. Or not. Thanks.

    Please add record label as a field in Advanced Search.  For most record labels, browsing returns too many results without filtering capability.

    New layout is horrible and renders your website useless.

    David Schrimpf · 3 · Last reply by Peter Hall

    If you're going to plaster ads all over the page, can you make sure they work and not destroy the lay out of your website? It's impossible to read anything now because the ads are screwing up the coding.
