It seems like an improvement on what we had before, though I expect some people will have trouble in finding their way around the new structure.

I like it, although it'll take some time to fully adjust to it.

I prefer this format. It'll take some getting used to, but it's an improvement.

It'll take some getting used, but nothing really shocking.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I like what you've done with the place! By the way, has anyone ever suggested having a "review(s) of the month" feature that would spotlight reviews that are particularly well-written or clever or insightful? It might draw a visitor's attention to the fact that this is more than just a site that lists albums and has an active forum. Just a thought.

I think it's a splendid idea. I'd also support a similar thing that we suggested for featured band/album etc.
But the featured review idea is a very good one and should be considered, I support this.

The hardest part is choosing one, not that that should be a reason not to...

The always coveted "reviewer of the month" plaque. Winner gets the parking spot closest to the internet.

I don't know, i'm an in-betweener.
I'm not used to it, and it's a bit messy as a first impression. But i'll get used to it.

Just when I found out where I should place my threads... 
But at first glance seems pretty  . Much better than last time.

I like it  it's good to keep things fresh and experiment with the lay out a bit. I can see where the large block of prog music lounges could be somewhat confusing or overwhelming so that's the only thing I'd consider revising (ie. split it up somehow into more specific categories), in the interest of newer visitors (those of us who frequent the site will quickly get used to it).
