A Review Cap

^true.. and even though most of them are not reviewed that much, the truth remains that it is a great prog data source... i, myself, have learned a lot more than i even imagined for the prog world as many of you have (i suppose...)

in addition to this, i would recommend to create threads asking opinions about unreviewed releases, or ones that haven't got that many ratings, cause i think that even if an album is rated by eg 2 or 3 guys, i'm sure a lot more would have heard it and would gladly share their opinion..

Excellent...good attitude, I often do the same. But the fact is people will and should buy what they want, not because it's unreviewed. Also, much stuff on the list is not widely available even online or at a good store.

Is anyone here really surprised that there are so many unreviewed albums? There is a ton of prog, not very many people who love it enough to search out hard to find stuff and buy it unheard (and who can blame them), and new bands being added all the time. Incentives wouldn't put a big dent in the unreviewed list. It's just how it goes when a site has decided to try and catalog every prog artist in the world. The job is a little too big and always growing. It's a wonder more of us aren't going grey.

It certainly encouraged me to find more obscure prog.

Maybe you should check posts on this thread posted in the past 7 days. There's been a lot of activity on first reviews for these albums. The thread serves its purpose of identifying AND solving the issue. No need for more as far as I'm concerned - I'm with Firepuck on this.

Have you seen this thread?

That would be too demanding. I do not think people would meet the "requirements" on some bands and go over the top on others. Most of the obscure prog would not have a lot of reviews the first year they are added.

Not allowing them to review popular stuff would probably make them go away.
