    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).

    Pages repeatedly "jump" down to the ad when a new one loads...

    Ignatz · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I liked a similar "problem" but that was reported a year ago and this is a new problem for me... Reading any page is interrupted when a new ad is loaded at the bottom of the page. When this happens you have to scroll back up to where your were reading. Until it happens again. I was reading the review of The Who's super duper deluxe edition of "...Sell Out". It has SIX discs, so every time the page jumped I had to scroll up past the track listings for ALL SIX DISCS!!! This is miserable and not an issue

    biography blurb

    I don't like blurbs, and I'd prefer to have them deleted.  Why bother to write at all, if you're just going to blurt a couple of sentences?

    Over the last month or so, ads have started overlaying text and can’t be removed. It’s makes the site unusable

    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

    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."

    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.

    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.
