I'm looking to better understand how AllMusic is creating this list of suggestions, as the methodology seems quite opaque. 

Thanks in advance!

Some older albums don't have any info, except title and artist.  But why would a newer album have an album cover with the number of discs, but no track listing?  Thanks.

Without trying to pile too much work on to your editors, I wondered whether any of them would be keen to review the recent releases by these two acts: The first is Ultrapop by The Armed, a noise-rock/Post-hardcore band. This albums been getting name-checked by quite a few publications in their mid-year highlights and it would interesting to see your team's views on it.

The second album, the self-titled debut from For Those I Love is album that combines elements of house and UK Garage with spoken word. It garnered praise from the British press when it was rereleased at

As the artist pages stand right now, I see little point in even having the biography tab when the biography is already taking up most of the page real estate to begin with. The short taglines were earnestly my favorite feature of the site - the ability to quickly learn what an artist is about without having to read the full bio was EXTREMELY valuable to me, and in building my own personal library I often added the short bio taglines as "comments" in the metadata of my MP3s, and wrote my own when none were to be found. Besides

The Spotify biography for DMX has not been updated in a long time. This rapper died in April 2021, but it's not mentioned in his Spotify bio.

I've used and subscribed to Allmusic for many years and have read, agreed, disagreed, recommended this site to others, and learned so much. I have wide, eclectic tastes that the site usually covers, but, the progressive bluegrass coverage is barely minimal. The most recent and major example is Billy Strings. Not a single bit of music has been reviewed, induing the new album that dropped yesterday, 9/24/21. This young man is a major talent and is pushing genres and boundries hard and is going to be a major, major player.

Hope you listen in and enjoy!

Hey Zac and the rest of the forum team. Hope you are all doing well.

As alluded to at the end of my previous request, there are additional new albums I've been hoping to see reviewed. It's been a while since they were released so I'm curious to know if anyone is still planning on covering them:

1. Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert We'll start with a familiar name. You may remember that a request was made two years ago to review this artist's previous album - Grey Area. As the response was very positive, I'm kinda

Almost all the groups under https://www.allmusic.com/genre/international-ma0000002660 have the word "Traditions" in their name (except of African, Jewish and Celtic/British Isles for some reason). Does it only mean to be a category of traditional music, the kind that Wikipedia or RateYourMusic refers to as folk music (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Folk_music_by_country) or traditional folk (https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/traditional-folk-music/). Or is it just a conventional word, denoting only an origin from a particular culture/region, which can refer to both traditional music and popular music in that region? I.e. it's essentially superfluous and could be replaced by the word "music". If the latter is correct, don't you think this use

How difficult would it be to develop webpages for record labels that would be similar to the genre webpages with a small history provided of said record label and access to a list of all albums they’ve released that can be sorted by rating? I’d gladly settle for the sortable album/record label list. 

Samkelo "Samthing Soweto" Mdolomba is a South African artist of great talent who has published two albums plus EP and singles. He has been on top of South African charts with high quality music and has won several awards.

Hi, is there any possibility to search for a specific release date e.g. April 27th from the past 10/20/30  years?

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

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?

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

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

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

In the album discography, I Wonder Do You Think of Me doesn't show an image thumbnail.  But why does the thumbnail display in the scrolling discography browser (below the large image)?

in his compilation discography, The Best of Keith Whitley doesn't show an image thumbnail.  But why does the thumbnail display for its releases?

Why do you offer so little Spotify links? Spotify is the most used. No one thinks about Amazon music, their collection nowhere near matches Spotify. Are you trying to force your users to purchase an Amazon music subscription? Is that it?

A female artist from the UK also has the Artist name Purdy.

I have been releasing work as Purdy since 1997 here in Australia. My first official release was on a Creative Vibes compilation and have since released six albums and many compilation tracks and remixes. You can see my work here: http://soft-records.blogspot.com/ https://purdy.bandcamp.com/album/in-transit

The UK artist Purdy, started releasing work more recently.

I don't care if she uses the same name, it's just that her releases commonly show up on what should be my releases page.

Is there some way the two artists can have their own releases page
