In wish the wording was changed for the star rating system. For instance i really like....say....Invisible Touch....but even I have to admit that it is not an essentall prog album. So I must rate it lower. Well I don't "must" but you get my point I tghink.

I probabvly could have thought oif a better example.

I don't think you get my question, my wording is probably confusing. Not progressive as a verb, but more as "does the music fit to be on PA?"

It says to do so in the guide to what stars mean. So yes. Otherwise it is a false rating not true to the site.

I put progressiveness or originality into the rating, i think it should have consideration. 

I don't think a masterpiece can be a stale, familiar, rehash of old ideas and bands. At least an obvious case of the situations told. 

Though i do understand that there are wonderful albums here that have a strong accessible flavor. Doesn't mean it deserves a lowered rating.

I really have no idea what section this is supposed to be in.

I'm wondering...

If you decide to review a certain album here on PA, and you consider the music as unrelated to progressive, does it factor into your rating?

For me, personally, not really. The rating is really just my enjoyment of the album. 

What about you guys?
