Loving all the genre expansions.
I agree on death-doom being added as well by the way. Was it intentional though that the Metal Related Genres sub and children now be placed part way through the metal sub-genres? I think it looked much better at the end of them. |

Not in any hurry, I'll be looking at nu-metal another time.

Okay, I'm just on my phone currently on a train. I'll get it sorted as soon as I can.

So long as my current arrangment still stands, that will be helpful. I'm done with RYM's funk chart now though.
Those funk metal bands sure have some, well, funky names. |

It's possible. Alternatively we could always upgrade you?

I wonder if regular collaborators can't edit artists? I don't think I could when I was Metal Reviewer.
If you post all the bands to be moved in bulk in the alt team thread, I can then move them.

Make a note of missing funk metal artists and bulk post the names in a suggest bands post at the end, Ashley.

Go into edit artist (not release) and there's a drop down at the bottom. Sometimes it's easier changing everything at once this way and moving the odd release back than changing by individual release

By the way how do you move a whole discography in bulk? I'm having to move some profiles releases by release.

Have done (I'll report in bulk when I stop). There were no Ag tags on RYM so it looked pretty safe to move the ones I did.
Seeing many bands in this RYM chart who are not here as well. |

If it looks Iike a funk as opposed to an AG release (with funk influences) then move them. I've already moved a
Mr Bungle album. |

I've started work on funk metal but someone seems to be a step ahead of me, almost every artist I check has already been done.
Finding a quite few funk metal releases in avant-garde for some reason by the way. |

I would recommend checking out metal archives and Wikipedia as well. RYM doesn't always get it right. I'm down with the death doom myself. It is a perfectly valid distinct sub

And finally ...
Don't be over-concerned about making the wrong call. We need the database to be as accurate as possible, but mistakes will happen during an exercise such as this. We can't listen to every album / artist unfortunately. I'd like to, but no-one will pay me to do so, so I have to go to work instead.

Yeah always check the votes against as well as the votes for. And also how many of them there are. You will come across albums on RYM that people tagged the same for years then suddenly someone decided to suggest differently. This sort of thing doesn't show up if you don't get into the actual voting page, and the previous voters often don't see the change for a long time to vote against it (most RYM votes happen when the release is new).

It depends. if the vote is 20 for alt and 2 for funk, it would suggest an alt metal release with some funk influence. That would go under alt. If the vote is about the same, then yes it would make sense for the child sub to override the parent.

Just beware that sometimes RYM can't tell the difference between nu and alt. I've purposely kept Mudvayne's albums after L.D. 50 in alt.

Excellent, and feel free to focus on whatever sub you want too Ashley. There's plenty of work to go around
