fewer reviews for discovery
(I've suggested ideas to increase the number of reviews, but Allmusic doesn't seem to be interested in doing so.) To be selected for a review, Allmusic's criteria are being tied primarily to pre-release buzz. So its criteria are favoring commercial music styles, heavily-marketed albums and established artists with a large fan base.
These criteria disfavor eclectic music, indie labels and new artists who aren't being heavily marketed. When Allmusic used to review albums in the past regardless of pre-release buzz, I could discover many albums (thru Allmusic's reviews) that didn't receive coverage elsewhere. For example: an archival compilation of a

Ads refresh constantly scrolling the page upward causes the user to lose their place while reading.
I understand that ad revenue is necessary to provide this useful site. That said, the way it is implemented makes the site nearly impossible to use at times. Surely, management could improve this situation.

Trying to fix artist name for a year now: Debra Cohen shows up in search as Debra J Cohen (remove the J), and the music that shows up is by DeVora Cohen instead of Debra Cohen.
DeVora Cohen is defunct and should not be on AllMusic. She was updated with name Debra Cohen (no middle initial please). Been trying to fix this for a year!

M.I.A. MATA 2022 still waiting review
Waiting for the review of M.I.A's latest album, MATA. i always value ALLMUSIC opinion and I'm curious about what you guys think of the album. Thanks.
And, if possible, rate and review Peaches Rub from 2015, it's her only work without a rating.

VISITED YOUR SITE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME AND WAS MET WITH INTRUSIVE ADS THAT BLOCK CONTENT. YOU CAN'T READ SOME PARTS BECAUSE THEY ARE BLOCKED BY ADS. IS IT THAT LUCRATIVE? MAYBE NOT BECAUSE I DON'T PLAN ON CONTINUING TO VIEW SAID ADS, BY NOT VISITING YOUR SITE.

Please refund my subscription
Hi there
I joined because I thought that you were a streaming service for obscure music, I only want to listen to one person (Lee Bartel) and you only have samples. I'm not a big music fan and I don't need this, please refund me. I would have known what service you were if there wasn't a giant ad blocker warning thing that prevented me from using your platform for free. I only signed up a couple of hours ago, so you can see that I don't want this. Thanks

Someone please check "brian keith" in small letters; especially an obvious gaslighting and trolling 12 points up and 12 points down in his favor...
Someone please check "brian keith" in small letters; especially an obvious gaslighting and trolling 12 points up and 12 points down in his favor...(Look at the latest Neil Young album "World Record") It amazes me that weird names pop up and decimate, we the people that spend time to build and shine allmusic.com with salient and relevant reviews. How is it even possible he can get 12 points on the same day I lose 12 points? Yes, this is an ongoing problem, and needs to be addressed if we want a democracy with our participants. ZAC, I know you are

Wrong person credited for a Paul McCartney album.
My name is Frank Farrell and was one of the engineer on Paul McCartney's Flaming Pie album. I was Steve Miller's Studio manager at the time in Sun Valley, ID where two tracks were recorded. Young Boy was the song I tracked that made the album.
I mostly use my Frank V. Farrell as this has happen on other media that I tracked, mixed or mastered.
Please find the picture attached with paul and linda and me from that session.
thank you

How can I update my content on this site?
How does an independent artist update the info on this site as it is shared with Apple Music, in terms of bio and content with releases? there is Manu things incorrect here, including credits, and use of fake labels from using previous distribution. Anyone?

the rating system is not accessible to blind people using a screen reader.
I recently found out that your site offers recommendations based on my album ratings. The problem is that i can't choose a rating using my screen reader NVDA. I am using chrome with windows, btw. When I am on an album page, i can only see this:
AllMusic Rating 10 User Ratings (6.770) Your Rating Your user rating
I guess you can somehow change the "your rating" line to some value, however I am unable to do so.
maybe a combo box would be helpful, but I don't know how that would affect the visual component of the site.

unjustified ratings
Even when not justified by any review, an editor rating is better than no rating. But a justified rating should override an unjustified one. (The album was attributed to an artist called Free Creek, but it's really a split album with songs by Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Emerson, Harvey Mandel, Moogy Klingman and Linda Ronstadt. If the album is cross-listed under those artists, then more of their fans would become aware of it.)
