there's nothing in the page design that draws attention to the fact that you're initially seeing only a portion of the discography.
compilations, singles & EPs, and dvds were separated from the main album in the exact same manner in the previous design
it used to be that when you searched for something like "girl" + "yesterday", a list of song titles would come up, and when you clicked on "the girl from yesterday", for instance, you'd be able to see all the artists who recorded that song.
to clarify, if in the past, you wanted to find a song called something like "spongy mountain" (or maybe it was "mountain of sponge" or something, i dunno), you'd type "spongy mountain" into the search, and it would cough up something like this:
Spongy Mountain - 177
My Spongy Mountain - 118
Spongy Mountains - 32
Mountaintop Sponge - 4
Spongiform M - 1
I Had a Sponge - 1
Mountain Spot - 1
you'd click on a phrase, and it would show you a list of all the performers of songs with that specific title. very handy for tracking down songs whose title you only half-remembered, also for researching variations on a phrase and/or titles involving specific words.
using the current version of the song search function, however, you'd get all 334 results, unsorted and unsortable, 20 at a time, so that you'd maybe have to go through 17 pages to find that one version of "mountaintop sponge" you were looking for.

good page design should draw attention to what is useful, and minimize distractions. this design makes useful functions unobtrusive and draws attention to junk.

OK, I got the search box to work. I had javascript turned off sitewide because their old version was so terrible with it. It seems slightly better than the old version. I like that it shows which albums have reviews on the discography list.
