I noticed today that the functionality for primary artists now works differently where the artist on the album page will be a collection of links to the designated primary artists instead of the band it was added under. This creates issues for the following cases
- albums where only some of the participants have been designated as primary artists for whatever reason making it look like the artist is incomplete (ex. https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/438746-peter-brotzmann-keiji-haino--evolving-blush-or-driving-original-sin.php)
- albums that were added under one artist but have another primary artist as well. (ex. https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/290070-jimmy-smith-prayer-meetin.php)
I may get used to this change over time. Plus my experience isn’t going to be like that of a typical user who doesn’t engage with as many weird cases. But my gut reaction to the change is not loving it.
