Thanks for the feedback Shezma. I'll have a think about how I might make genre coverage clearer during the registration process. It's wrong of me to assume that everyone has complete knowledge of RYM's branching genre tree.

Hmmmm...I think I have an idea...

I came here to suggest exactly this. Clicking through all the numbers of pages to get back to specific letters of bands was a little tedious as I was alphabetically filling out my ratings over the last week.

This feature has been added. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks Strig. I've fixed the Every Time I Die year and the Controller double.

As for Knut, this is because you have The Revolution clan selected, and that album is considered pure sludge, and therefore The Fallen only. If you have no clan filter, it's there.

I see that one mouses over clan icons on the 'Bands' or 'Releases' pages, the clan name appears, which is good to know. However, it might be useful to also have the genres under that banner also appear, rather than have users memorize which one they need to click to find a particular style. Just another 'ease of use' tweak, if it interests you.

I did think about doing this, but thought it might become a bit unruly with some of the broader clans, particularly The Fallen. When you hover over the Fallen symbol, it will need to pop up with "The Fallen - Doom Metal, Drone Metal, Gothic Metal, Sludge Metal, Stoner Metal". It's for this reason that I added the "Learn more about clans" button instead. If you click that, it opens up the clan break-down page in a new tab.

Your point is fair though, and I need to remember that it's going to be tricky for newcomers to know what the clans represent. I'll try adding the expanded descriptors and we'll see what it looks like.

Keep the suggestions coming. We really appreciate it.
