Actually, the loonies were padding Karfagen and Modern Rock Ensemble with 5 Star ratings/reviews while bombing one stars on Pendragon/Opeth/Motorpsycho. However that Pendragon album does have quite a bit of padding itself to even the playing fields Smile imagine your sense of fulfillment being dependent on where an album you like places on a year end user-rated list

Yes, it seems some loonies have been padding the Pentangle albums with 5 stars which Damo has just thrown out. I hope that was the problem you encountered. Pentangle padding? Geez, they're not King Crimson. ;)

What is happening? Some glitches in the site? Would be good if someone clears up why this is.

must have been some rating abuse that has got rid of I believe.
