It's temporary -- related to changing the database platform.

It's weird because not every review is affected - I went to look some stuff up the other day and half of what I needed was there and half wasn't, seemingly at random.

This is interesting: The tracklisting for The Beatles (white album) currently shows only half of the songs (15 of 30), apparently taken at random, with sides 1, 2, 3 and 4 all represented:

If I could find that old "edit the White Album and make a single killer LP" thread, I'd look to see if those 15 represented anyone's ideal. (Or anyone's worst-imaginable, for that matter.)

Your search for Boards of Canada as an artist name or the title of an album or song did not have any matches.

so basically they're just not even trying to be a reference site anymore

concentrating on the what do you call it pitchfork format
i pretty much just use discogs now when i want to do a quick artist search. allmusic will forever remain in my heart, though, for introducing me to Chrome and tons of other great bands back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

One tries.

sad because they really had so many great reviews

had / have
try googling "boards of canada allmusic"
maybe their internal search is just broken at the moment?
― Brad C., Tuesday, 12 August 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link

i feel like the declining popularity of those listening stations at like barnes and noble (along o/c with buying music at barnes and noble) must have been allmusic's downfall. i appreciate what a beast it must be to run with esp. with the snazzy interface, but it's been so spotty for so long.

Allmusic was perfect for a long time as far as its design and functionality. Now it's cumbersome and full of annoying pop-up ads and videos, and it does seem to have lost a lot of content for some reason. I rely on Rateyourmusic more and more lately, which seems far better than Discogs.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 21:56 (nine years ago) link
well, discogs is for buying/selling, RYM for evaluation. both pretty great on their own terms.
