It's a label debut that has sold well and outside of the RYM-core followers it's generally well-regarded ( see metacritic ). That it became AMG's choice pick isn't too surprising. It's just disappointing that they felt the need to downgrade S2. AMG possibly did it just to differentiate their ratings...

Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory has been upgraded to 4.0 stars by AllMusic.

Thanks for highlighting that. I'm only starting to explore Sizzla's music so maybe this is incorrect but from what I understand he didn't start recording music until 1995. Black Woman & Child isn't a re-release of his early material, so the change is a bizarre one for AllMusic to make. I'll forw...

Sizzla's Black Woman & Child has been downgraded to 4 stars by Allmusic Strange. Browsed through Sizzla's AllMusic profile this week and it seems like they've now removed the review and the rating to Black Woman & Child . They've replaced it with a blank entry, using a 2009 release date ...

Another questionable change - Photek - Modus Operandi has been downgraded to 3.5 stars by AllMusic.

Brockhampton - Saturation II has been downgraded to 3.5 stars by AllMusic. Tut-tut, bad AllMusic.

I'm not too familiar with Sharon's earlier work. Was 'You Better Think Twice' her only release under her name before 2000? On the other hand, Kelis hit the ground running from the start. NPR possibly made an exception for 'Caught Out There...' and her debut album as they were released a few months b...

Matski

Yeah, I've been going through the list and there are some acts there that had been releasing music before 2000. Against Me! and Feist have some pre-2000 releases but they didn't garner the attention that their post-00s releases would. Shakira was well-known in Latin America before the 00s, though he...

Much like Sleater-Kinney, Aaliyah and Missy had made their mark before the turn of the century so they were likely ineligible. Some people may point to Beyoncé as having been around since the 90s with Destiny's Child but she really didn't make a name for herself as a solo artist until the early 00s.

Matski

As much as I love the band, NPR are likely counting Sleater-Kinney as a 90s group. Quality list. The one real sticking point I had with it is a lack of Julia Holter, who I consider one of the most exciting artists working in the modern day, male or female. Julia has been my favourite female solo art...

Geez, I hope they don't keep changing their mind on Roger the Engineer or Sunbather like they did with Use Your Illusion II. Out of all the metal albums that they recently upgraded, Sunbather wasn't the most questionable choice of the bunch either.

AllMusic have posted a new review for Version 2.0 by Garbage, upgrading its rating to 4.5 stars. ... Of course, as the resident Wilco geek, I'm ecstatic to see their masterpiece finally get 5 star recognition. What's even cooler is that they didn't drop Summerteeth to do it, which AMG often does, to...

Completely shocking news. He seemed to be hitting a creative peak with recent works, such as Sicarrio, Arrival and Orphée and I was looking forward to hearing how his work progressed over the next few years. It was disappointing to find out that his work for Blade Runner 2049 wasn't accepted for the...

Am I too late to get in on the group hug? :( Whether it's transcribing EoY lists, posting updated ratings or just joining in with the forum discussions, it's been interesting watching your project grow over the better part of a decade.

Yeah, the notifications coming from your browser/antivirus are because of the ads on the site. I've never actually been infected by them but they are annoying. There are a number of ways to get around them. The two methods AllMusic prefer are paid subscritpion to their site or downloading the Suppor...
