What's up with the All Music Guide?

For years one of my most (maybe my single most) frequently visited web sites has been the All Music Guide - an invaluable resource for looking up details about musical artists and recordings.

Now AMG has redesigned their web site - my first impression is that the user interface has gotten much less usable, but that may be a false (or incomplete) impression, because it is SO DAMN SLOW! I'm getting browser timeout errors much more frequently than I'm getting content - definitely not acceptable.

And, in this day and age, how can anybody be doing thls:

sheesh - I hate to see a good resource go bad. sigh.
