Title says it all. Not good for the integrity of the site, and likely to anger the artists as well.

Either not allowing reviews until the albums are released or just not listing the albums on the site until the official release dates would make sense.

I'm all for them being added in advance of their release date, but I would agree that the ability to post reviews should be suppressed until the album is officially available. If nothing else, it would demontrate that the site is not encouraging pirating.

How about only uploading it at the release date, and until then upload an announcement of the expected release, of course with all available information. Possible even highlighting it on the bandspage A part on the bands page, that say "Soon to be Released" and maybe besides that a "Recently Released" part on the bands page, or even available from the main page (like Gatot recently suggested). Hope people understand what i mean, cause when rereading this I surely don't work with me here, if you understand (or not), |

Can't this be stopped? M@X, surely you could delete all the reviews of this album submitted to date, and block any reviews until the official release date? Thanks.

DREAM THEATER - Octavarium (2005)
Review by Rafael @ 11:20:41 AM EST, 4/22/2005 — No, i didnt downloaded elemts of persuation, the crappy mp3's says very clear the track names of this album, and if an mp3 says a song name, than its the song no doubt about it, i have never listened to james labrie solo album, but i dont care, i wont listen to that album, i know i have downloaded octavarium, no doubt, its the real octavarium, i dont have to compare it to elements of persuation, cause i know its octavarium, i mean, the torrent folder was named "octavarium", i dont think it needs more proove than that, people, dont buy this album, is not good.
Who's this stupid Rafael !! He definitively download the wrong cd ! I don't like Dream theater too much, but I really think that the reviews post before the date of release should be delete ! See what happen !
