If you use uBlock Origin (and you should), you can disable all Javascript on the site, inline and third-party. You'll lose a little functionality, but you won't see any more ads or notices.

your not kidding it's a proper take down The Man adblocker is that mother!

Yep I'm getting "disable ad-block" pop up even with adblock already disabled, and malware warnings. RIP allmusic.

uBlock Origin, as recommended above does a right job on Allmusic guys

It does the trick, but I'm so tired of having to go all David Copperfield on websites to function. The pop-ups, the annoying adds, the cookie pop-ups, the 'sign up for our fucking newsletter' stuff. Seeing ads while logged in at ilx. I know this is all 'society is in the gutter' but ~the internet~ is p much dead to me these days.

LBI hits the spot.

LBI probably doesn't use uBlock Origin.
I hardly ever see anything of the things you mentioned. And when something does get through the filters, 'Block element' is just one right-click away.

This was still bothering me, because I did turn off the blocker for them and it wouldn't let me in. Googleing I found the solution, well it works for me.

The part about blocking first-party cookies on allmusic.com and sidereel.com works.
in chrome it is under - settings - show advanced - privacy settings - content settings - manage exceptions.
The site seems fast too with that.

just when i thought the allmusic experience could not get any worse, they prove me wrong.f*cking ads that pop up and have to be clicked through to get to the review.truly awful.if i created an account and logged in, would there be less advert excess ?

You have to be an advertiser to log in

Use an adblocker like uBlock Origin, no ads for me on Allmusic.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 15:54 (two years ago) link
yeah, i re-enabled my ad-blocker - all ok now.i thought the site prevented viewing if you had ad-blockers enabled.but seems okfor now.
― mark e, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 16:09 (two years ago) link
brave browser has an ad blocker blocker blocker.
this fucking internet shit is getting to be like the most pointless chess game ever.
(i highly recommend brave browser, btw)

a few weeks ago they stopped letting me use my site search shortcut, claiming i was using it as an api. ok i will not go to your website, congrats.
today they are 404

i followed a tip from (I think) Marc Masters that if you subscribe, all the ads go away and the site runs turbo-charged, and this is indeed my experience
it's a no-brainer when i consider how much I've gained from allmusic over the past, I dunno.... 20 years??
