    Wilco review-bombing

    Cam · 4 · Last reply by Murray Winship

    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.

    ... until Simone Appolloni poisened all the reviews. It's meaningless now.

    AllMusic is being updated. Hold tight!

    Mark Easton · 3 · Last reply by Oleksii

    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,

    Allmuic adverts are hogging resources.

    Mark Terrell · 0 · Posted

    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.

    slide-out ad blocks content on iPad

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    (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.

    Incorrect Composer Information

    Orpnod · 0 · Posted

    On The Johnny Lee Album "13th of July" you have three songs improperly identified for Composer. The three songs are "I'd Marry You Again", "Leanna", and "Goin' Nowhere Fast". You have them listed as composed by a Michael Bush and the link is to someone unrelated. The correct composer information on all three songs is: Don Procunier and Michael R. Bush(deceased) This can easily be validated by BMI. Please make the corrections. Thank You

    Site is taking too long to load.

    Brian · 2 · Last reply by Brian

    The homepage loads quickly.  I have no other issues on any other webpages, but the actually loading of bands and discographies is taking up to 1 minute to load.  It seems to be a glitch loading graphics on the website.  I am a member, and I've been having this problem for at least a month.  Tonight it made it very difficult to do basic research.

    There is no diversity in your new-release selection

    Dejan Momcilovic · 0 · Posted

    Hi I´ve been using All Music for ages but I can conclude that it is oriented towards a few genres. 

    I really like All Music but what pervades your weekly list of new releases are: Pop/Rock - 60 % - 

    Classical - 15-20 %

    Rest. I think there should be other, (more innovative) styles included in your All Music. After all - if it´s ALL music, make sure the site doesn´t exclude music.  Best regards, Dejan

    discography of primary artist with backing band

    rootsmusic · 5 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Because an artist can have multiple backing bands (and both can change their names), I expect an artist's solo discography to include albums that also bill the artist's backing bands.  For most artists, Allmusic does a pretty good job pulling in albums that are billed to the artist and a backing band.  (For a few artists, Allmusic errors on the side of inclusion by pulling in albums that aren't billed to the artist as their primary artist but instead "feature" the artist as their guest.)

    I'm against combining any artist with his/her backing band into a performing group.  (I don't

    Wrong user rating

    Trollargh Holden · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I looked at the Led Zeppelin discography page:

    https://www.allmusic.com/artist/led-zeppelin-mn0000139026/discography

    The first 6 albums have a user rating of half a star. While the Allmusic rating is 5 stars for all six. Clearly there is something awry. I can not believe all the users gave such low ratings. Please fix this.

    Absolutely Wrong Bruce Dickinson as a producer

    Joomlatech · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I found taht hilarious Iron Maiden's lead singer Bruce Dickinson's profile stating he was the producer of some Blue Oyster Cult and other artists compilations

    https://www.allmusic.com/artist/bruce-dickinson-mn0000527024/credits

    That Bruce Dickinson the producer has nothing to do with the GREAT Iron Maiden singer

    Just check

    Advanced Search Engine Issue - Dec 2021

    Matski · 3 · Last reply by Matski

    Is there currently an ongoing issue with the Advanced Search engine?

    Several recent reviews don't seem to be showing up on it. For example: Arca's Kick quadrology or a selection of hip hop releases such as Haram, Pray for Haiti or Half God.

    In addition, many of the reviews uploaded in the last few months still aren't lining up with the 'AllMusic Rating' column, when it's selected. Take a look at the picture attached - Montero was released, reviewed and rated in September but it's still treated as being unrated by the search engine.

    style overviews

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Some styles don't have any overview, so its stylistic definition is left for me to guess.  For example, "drone" style is represented by a single artist and tagged on three albums (none by him).
