First time I've ever posted here since I typically find these constantly-updating things exhausting, but Pitchfork just did a thing where they re-rated a bunch of albums from their past (most upgraded, some less so).

Quite a lot of readers are missing an important part about that article:
Pitchfork Reviews: Rescored wrote: What follows are 19 ideas about rescoring a handful of Pitchfork album reviews. These adjustments are born out of conversations we have all the time here on staff, much like the conversations you, our dear opinionated reader, have as well. They are hypothetical, which is to say, not canon, but rather a fun little diversion, a conversation-starter brought to you by the individual grievances of the Pitchfork staff. From slight adjustments to major reconsiderations to grave errors in judgment, enjoy a bit of our revisionist history.
So, I wouldnt take these new ratings too seriously. They're more like a 'second opinion' piece rather than a retcon of their scores. Until a new review is uploaded (see Nine Inch Nail's The Fragile, or Andrew W.K.'s I Get Wet) it seems the old scores still stand.

AM's database is missing AllMusic's review score for III by BADBADNOTGOOD. It was awarded a 3.5 star rating.

AllMusic have changed around a couple of their album ratings for Adele, in light of her new album:
  • 19 has been downgraded to a 3.5 rating.
  • 25 has been upgraded to a 4.5 rating.
EDIT (1/12/22): AllMusic changed the ratings again.

To mark its 50th anniversary, AllMusic has given One Year by Colin Blunstone a 5.0 star rating.

Someone to Drive You Home by The Long Blondes also reached its 15th anniversary and was upgraded to 5.0 stars by AllMusic.

This one doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet but Chaleur Humaine / Christine and The Queens by Christine and The Queens has a 4.0 star rating by AllMusic.

As much as I give them grief for not giving Hounds of Love that simple extra half star while everyone and their dog who was influenced by her get that big 5 easily, the Long Blondes upgrade was well deserved and a brilliant move. Seems to be gaining the following they deserved the first time around but better late than never I suppose.

For us, the only change worth mentioning is that The Emancipation of Mimi was upgraded to a 4.0 star rating.
It seems the fans won't let this one go. And it's paying off! AllMusic have upgraded Daydream by Mariah Carey to a 4.5 rating.
Glitter and Charmbracelet have been both upgraded to 2.5 stars as well.

It's always interesting to come across anyone who appreciates that record. Half of their 'fanbase' seem to be repulsed by it, claiming it to be amongst the band's worst.

And this is NOT because they have given a higher rating for ”El mal querer” instead!
May want to brace yourself. Why do I say this? Well..: ...yeah, AllMusic really don't have a clue on what they want to do with Rosalía's ratings.

It seems that AllMusic have reverted The Resistance back to its original 4.0 star rating.

Scratch that, AllMusic have now changed The Resistance so that it now has a 4.5 star rating. Furthermore, Drones has been updated to a 4.0 star rating.

Missing Scaruffi rating:

Blur - The Magic Whip: 4/10

Although there isn't really a review except for "Blur reunited for The Magic Whip (2015)." I'm not sure if this is a decisive factor. If I remember correctly Henrik doesn't use Allmusic ratings without a review :?
