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.

  1. 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.
