^ Okay, I will do that for you. TERRY RILEY's A Rainbow In Curved Air got five stars from me, by the way.

I saw the high rating for Monarch of Monsters. I listened to it. I didn't like it. I gave it a single star. I doubt I'll listen to any more Vylet Pony... One of those bands I don't get. Hey, I don't get XTC either.

I would probably 'buy' that (or at least play devil's advocate) if it was some well established "love it or hate it" prog rock act, like Dream Theater or Steven Wilson. But Vylet Pony was added to the database very recently. |

I must go check this artist out now. Surely there is something in their discography that deserves better than this. wow!

I don't think he likes Zeuhl. At least he doesn't like Magma. All one stars for Magma. I listened to Monarch of Monsters. Not my cup of tea.

 Somebody here really hates Vylet Pony. xD I'm guessing it's another one of those "Grow up! Cartoons are for little kids! Avant Kraut-Zeuhl FTW!" type boomers. |

I just noticed that past "members" CAPH and NANCZO had a propensity for rating everything in site with one stars--hundreds of ratings each. Even their ratings "averages" for every category are between 1.0 and 2.0--which means, to me, that they chose the wrong site--or the wrong music--to experiment with.
Anyway, the reason I bring these two to your attention is due to the misleading wording that PA places above an individual's chart ("Reviews distribution by sub-genre"): why is the second of the three categories in the chart labeled with "Nb of reviews" when in fact there are no requirements of having posted a review, only a rating? I would love to see a chart that charts the actual number of reviews written/posted--the things that take time, sweat, and energy--as opposed to the minimal efforts made by the machine gun fire ratings mashers. Just saying. And perhaps ratings and reviews should be even more segregated in the weighting system. |

Indeed, it is an unusual method of releasing whatever you want to call this. I hesitate to call it an album as it is clearly something bigger. I hesitate to order vinyl (something I don't have the equipment set up to handle at this time), especially at a €150 price tag, but yeah, will probably get the first CD at LaserCD. Hopefully they will load some more stuff from the next two books on Bandcamp, so I can at least listen before buying. Thanks!

Fair enough. I guess we could add the second and third "books" once more information is available and likewise they can rate the individual parts.

You can buy the triple album box set now. They've sold over 200-300 sets. Miami Scot got a download of the entire triple album, did a video review, and gave it 5 stars. They plan on releasing separate vinyl/CDs -back to back- over a few months in the Autumn. You can pre-order the first vinyl/CD from Laser. Although it's an unusual way to do it...I think it's legit.

^ This album is already available here as "Book I". It could be an explanation.
... but I agree this is confusing anyway.

Strange how the only two 1 star bombs are from users who come from the same country as the band http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=48100 My theory is that those 1 star voters might've rated the album so low due to some Peru-related political differences? Hmm, I dunno. Maybe I'm overthinking something and I'm just screwing around. ;)

^ Removed, thank you. I so wish that ratings for albums could be disabled until the release dates. And wish that albums weren't added as early as they are often.

^ Looked it up, to be released on 3 March 2023. Will deal with and delete those later. Will have to investigate first for potential abuse beyond that (like manipulating album rankings....). Thanks for reporting it.
Anyway, those ratings deleted. Edited by Logan - January 20 2023 at 15:02 |

Hi, I would start by asking if this person has actually heard anything. The number of 5's is probably out of line, and I think I would remove them all ... it's stuffing like this that hurts the integrity of the website, specially when you can't ask the person about it, as that person is ... invisible. I'm not an admin, but if a vote was up, I would say ... delete these even though it might bring down an album or 2 a bit here and there, but I doubt it will hurt anything.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

If Greco is doing this, I'm removing the album from my top 20 collaborators submission.
