new AMG website design

www.allmusic.com




WHY do sites feel the need to "improve" themselves? first hotmail, then the org, now AMG..... it just fucking ruins it. if it ain't broke, don't fix it neutral

I hate it. It's slower, and much harder to navigate through. Reviews are hard to access, stars are too small, artist profiles are just poorly laid out in general. It's subscription based too now, and saturated with ads. sigh.

It's getting better as it goes on. They asked me to be a beta tester, and I'm giving lots of feedback. Some of it just takes getting used to, I think, but the search engines are pulling up weird results.

Hopefully , while they're at it, they can get rid of some of their older, poorly written, & error filled reviews....

I agree. I don't like having to click on individual tabs to get to everything. Really annoying. Maybe this stuff will get worked out and it'll be as good as it was before. smile

I don't know why, but the search doesn't work properly for me, even when I'm logged in as a user. When I click on an artist's name or a CD title, nothing happens.

sigh This site's gone straight down the shitter.

Yeah, it's really screwy. I wasn't a big fan of the look of the old site, but as far as functionality goes, it was A-okay with me. I'm getting a lot of errors, and server time outs, etc. If I weren't addicted to that site, it wouldn't be a big deal!

Same. The thing is, they had reviews of quite a few obscurities all in one place, so I didn't have to go trolling around millions of fan pages to find them. Damn, I'm pissed off. NEWER doesn't mean BETTER in this case, that's for sure. Can I give them 0 stars?

They're encouraging users to give them feed back. Click on the CONTACT link, then USABILITY/FEATURES to do so. I've done so a lot in the past few days. With stuff like this, they assume you like it unless they hear otherwise.

Yep, it sucks. I got on there today for the first time in about six months and at first, I thought I was on the wrong site. They should have left it alone.

But they do have snippets of every song from "The Work". Don't know if that's good or bad though.
