1-star rating for an UNRELEASED ALBUM

Wait a second, so the user the link to whose profile I posted is one of the collabs? That's mind-boggling!

It's a prognose rather than a rating i presume, maybe one of the band mates thinks it's a dud and wanted to give us distant early warning.

Or the reason it isn't heard is because Morse doesn't think it's good enough to be released (or leaked), so that could account for the fact it hasn't leaked yet, and some reviewer understood that possibility and considered a pre-emptive strike to be in order.

Anyway,can be deleted if you asked me.

I shouted for Tony in that thread, and had to threaten to close it when he got aggressive towards another member - not that he took any notice, of course. If he is a PR and behaves in such a way, I think he should probably be noticed that this will only lead to a demotion.

not entirely, i can understand why some do it, time puts constraints on all of us


I have (at least not yet) rated anything without a review, but it's definitely possible.

giving the Beatles all 1 stars is much, much worse

This REALLY gets my goat,There were LOADS before the last Pendragon album was released these fold fall into one of three categories

1. An internet album thief (downloaded it illegally from some scuzzy site)
     2.An out & out liar (not heard it but want to either be first to hate it or first to love it
     3.A band member (Why not have "Band Member Reviews" so this is possible and stand out fromt the trolls?

If some one has an advance copy for another reason, then they should say so in their review.

It screws up the overall ratings for ever.

Grrrrrr

P-C

It's usually because the person concerned feels their command of English is not sufficient to allow them to compose a review.

I've made the mistake a rating a few before I did the review and then I found out that if I go back later and review, it doesn't show up the latest reviews sections, which sucks if you're trying to let people know about an obscure album.
