Question about site design

Hey, thanks for your great site. Unfortunately with the redesign it's so much harder to use the site. Looking at an artist's discography, I can fit a max of 5 albums on my screen at once. Looking at an album, there is literally no way to see all the songs on the screen at one time. This lack of a bird's eye view really diminishes the experience of browsing. Is it possible to make things more compact, or have a compact mode? Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback Thomas.

The new site layout is more spread out and uses larger fonts, but that was by design.

We rely on Google search results heavily for people to find our site, and one of the things we were constantly getting penalized by Google for "Clickable elements too close together" and "Text too small to read."

We redesigned the site with these requirements in mind, in order to try to improve our search ranking and allow more users to find and enjoy the site.

One thing that you may be interested in is using the Zoom Out function in your browser.

This will reduce the size of everything on screen and give a view much closer to the older AllMusic design.
