Lessons in Bad Web Design #246: Allmusic.com

Allmusic.com has just gone through a major redesign and for about a week now their site has been unusable in IE. We're not just talking aesthetics here--though I don't like the layout one bit, the CSS or whatever they're using doesn't work, with lines through words and such--but THE BLOODY SEARCH BUTTON DOESN'T WORK! On top of that, it loads twice as slow, and Mozilla can barely even contact the site.
I mean, c'mon guys, how hard is this? Again, this feels like typical corporate makeover design, making something over-complex, too many cooks, etc.
Allmusic is one of my toolbar links, just like imdb.com, where I go at least once a day to reference something. Now IT DOESN'T WORK.
Aargh. Blow me.

Comments

I know this post is old but I've just found the key to the f***ing slowness of allmusic.com.
It's the crap ads that make it slow, at least for me. Try blocking *.advertising.com and ads.* and it improves magically.
