They revamped it a few years ago. I don't remember the old face too well,
but it seems to me that what it lacked in form it made up for in function.
I'd agree it's a bit too convoluted now. But I swear by the site, even if a
lot of the reviews are written by obvious fans of the concerned artist (four
out of five stars for Elvis Costello's Almost Blue and Goodbye Cruel World?
That's a bit generous). I've had to resort to their song searches on
occasion to help purge that curiosity demon...like who did those awful
covers of Helpless and Carry On (which was my last song search). Now maybe
Alanis Morisette can do a massacre on Almost Cut My Hair, and the Deja Vu
trifecta of crappy covers will be complete.

And I would hope you'd have noticed if it were Louis Armstrong you saw...the
voice would stand him out from the rest of the list, if his being black
didn't stick out for ya!
