Rival Sons have released 2 of the best rock albums this year and I find it shameful that there’s not one review by Allmusic. And we wonder why “rock is dead”. Get your crap together Allmusic! Both Darkfighter and Lightbringer, released this past Friday, are future classics and you guys are completely ignoring them. The opening track on Lightbringer is one of the most brilliantly composed songs I’ve heard in some time. So epic and beautiful. They should be as big, if not bigger than Greta Van Fleet and Maneskin. Rival Sons rocks! Give this band the respect they deserve!

You cant find them under an Orgy search, blue monday search, jay gordon search, and Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh only come up with their band Julien-K and no mention of Orgy in the former band section. Kinda odd. 

How do I stop 'staff picks' and 'recommendation' notifications, please; alas - I didn't sign up for them.

Thanks in advance…

Thanks for responding to my review request earlier this year. Hopefully your staff are open to another selection of review suggestions. Again, all four seem somewhat popular vote-attractors amongst AllMusic's users:

• Blondshell - Blondshell
• Geese - 3D Country
• Grian Chattan (Fontaines D.C.) - Chaos for the Fly
• Rickie Lee Jones - Pieces of Treasure

Also, would it be too cheeky to ask if your team are willing to consider reassessing the rating for Rickie's self-titled debut? Ruhlmann's original review holds it in high esteem and without criticism, while other reviews of subsequent highlights (like the review for Flying Cowboys) refer

I purchased a used copy of JJ Johnson's "Blue Mode" and when received found that the notes page had been wet and partly fused together and torn rendering a couple paragraphs unreadable. Thanks

My name is Jake Gerber. Jim Keltner, and me were hired the same day. I was the first one to ever sing in the band. Did my first submission get through to you ? It has many inside details.

With Regards,

...Travis Scott released a new album on July 28. Anyone up for reviewing it? :)

Cheers!

Is there a place you can upload your artist information once and it updates across all artist profiles from one place? (apple music,sportify,amazon,google, deezer, Allmusic) kind of like a yext for businesses or hubspot for social brands.

I have been a regular visitor to your site for a while now and find the information very useful. What I don't understand is why Aretha Franklin has no regular album with a Blue A award. Do you hate soul music or just Aretha? I am aware she made some below par albums in the late 70s and early 80s but many of her Atlantic albums of the 60s are peerless. 

The 24 years old Afrobeats star that rise as at 2019 with the featuring of one of the African Pop rapper, Zlatan, has dropped his fourth studio Album “Road to Melodie’s” 14 tracks submitted unhurridely to his fan base as of December 31, 2022, with four featuring, the vibeast as manifested his versatility on this project right from the first track “Rest of mind”ft Maysxn an Afrosoul that embarks on peace with the inner self, also can be called an evergreen prayer point, every human needs or pray for their Rest of mind, track four titled “She say to me”

(Since her latest version isn't reviewed yet, I'm revisiting the last version.)  The song entity "All Too Well" has two variations: a live acoustic version (9:31) and a 10-minute alternative take (10:13).  That alternative take is listed under the "appears on" tab too. That tab has the original song (2013) alongside the re-recording (2021), both clocking in with the same duration.

That tab includes a short film version (11:26), a studio live [Sad Girl Autumn] version (9:58), and a karaoke version (5:18).  So the "appears on" tab lists several versions, while the variations tab lists only two.  Thus, I'm confused how

Can you forward a request to the editorial team? It's a small list of recent albums to be considered for review. These artists have all had at least one of their previous albums reviewed by AllMusic and their new album seems to be quite popular amongst users:

• Iris DeMent - Workin' on a World
• The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - 12
• Sunny War - Anarchist Gospel

In addition, could you find out if their are plans to review these two albums? Both have already been released digitally, though the AllMusic website notes that they are still awaiting

Ages ago the All Music website had a genre-selection control in the form of an interactive, 3D, ball of spikes. Is there some place I can still find an example of that?

At album-level, the soundtrack credits its first track's composer only to "Traditional".  But at song-level, two composers are added.

From Los Lobos' version, I discovered that the song was "also performed by" Lalo Guerrero in collaboration with the band.  When I click on their song collaboration though, it's instead linked to Los Lobos' own version.  The album that released their collaborative version wasn't listed among the albums where the band's own version appears on (the same song page on which I discovered the song was also performed by Lalo Guerrero in collaboration with the band).

I'm confused.

Have the editorial team decided that they like both reviews of Animal Collective's Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished that they decided to keep them both? Kinda strange to have two entries for it. Was it done on purpose?

Also, there are two entries fo Spacemen 3's Dreamweapon (first entry and second entry) though I doubt that's intentional. Any chance of merging them?

When an artist's previous album was highly rated, it always sits a bit uneasy with me it the new one isn't even reviewed. So if you don't mind, I'll occasionally post an example of that here, in the hope it might still be remedied. Exhibit one: Conway the Machine's new album 'Won't He Do It'. https://www.allmusic.com/album/wont-he-do-it-mw0003973881

Thanks in advance!
