The big rotating picture banner is way too much. Who are these people? Immedite turn off from the site. Use this space to tell me (simply) why I would want to use this.

Overall you're trying to accomplish WAY too much with your first release. Compete with Myspace + Facebook? "Music discovery and distribution platform"? Purchasing? Artist profiles? Album of the week? Some kind of thing I'm supposed to download and install? "Taank it?" Sign up for a newsletter? AHHHH! Just give me a single, simple reason to use this site. Do exactly one thing really well, and go from there.

Site design / browser compatability wise: http://i.imgur.com/FYWTP.png

I like the domain though. The logo looks cool, but it's too small to see. Simplify and go with an art-direction / metephors based on that little fish in the taank.

Thanks for the feedback. I've considered making the Taank It! page the homepage to help clarify things a little. The grey boxes in the image above should be photos of the featured bands with links to the profiles. I'll work on clarifying things.
