Anyone else dislike the redo of the http://www.allmusic.com web site?  I use this site ALL the time and now I hate it.
 
 Not only does it seem more confusing to me, but several of the pages don't load up properly.
 
 I wish when people would change web sites they would not make them MORE difficult to navigate/use/read.
 
 Why couldn't they have left it alone?!
 
 Cheers

They screwed it up. Barely useable.

This is a hot topic on a few message boards today. The site is difficult to navigate because many pages have to be refreshed constantly or you get an error message.
 
 Even more annoying is that the site now only supports IE version 5.5 or higher (for Windows). So if you're on a Mac or use another browser, you're screwed.

Looks like someone forgot the definition of random.

No listing of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, or AM for Wilco either.

I too used allmusic all the time. I think we need to give them some time to work the bugs out though, before we write them off. The browser shit blows...who does that anymore? A big site with browser specific shit.... i smell a microsoft rat.

[Random Citizen]

It's definitely a Microsoft rat...those sound clips they added (which are only available to registered users, btw)? Windows Media Player only.

I found listings for both albums... and the 97s have the albums listed, but no content for them yet. I imagine some of it will just take some time

[bellenseb]

I dislike it too...the big problem for me is that now it requires several more clicks to see the same info as before.
 
 You have to click once for the artist, again to see the discography, then click again to see the compilations, again to see the review...jesus! Before the revamp you could usually see it all in one page, and only go to a different page to read about a particular album, which made a lot of sense. This does not.

Reading the posts I thought it was going to be really bad. As usual, it is difficult to get used to the new format, but I don't think it is that bad. I've always found all music.com to be one of the best and most useful sites on the internet and I think in a few days once I get used to the new format, it will still be one of the best sites out there.

Has anyone tried registering and logging in?
 
 This is completely maddening.
 
 I registered, got the e-mail sent to my account, then went back to allmusic.com and have been retyping and retyping and RETYPING my e-mail address and password they sent, and I keep getting a page which says, "Invalid login, please try again."
 
 All of this just because I am trying to look up a song by a certain band (you need to be registered now to look up songs).
 
 How very irritating.  
 
 Cheers
