but both are a problem, albums have to be judged within their genre.

You don't see those same people going into every prog-metal album and giving it five stars.

And a good portion of the reviews of this album HAVE EDITORIAL CONTENT.  Read FishyMonkey's review.

Not my point, we can't have this site as a childrens playground, kind of fan-site for some metal-bands. It's enough now!!!

Well to be fair, I've been listening to that album for a few weeks, and I'd give it no less than four stars myself.  It's DT's best album since Falling Into Infinity.

thats "four stars"ed up. makes five stars

 

Anywho, I think your right.

A good/bad album deserves to be rated according to it's quality.

If you don't consider an album, or even subgenre to be progressive, state that as an aside in the review, and after that, review the album on it's merits (or lack of it), rating the album accordingly.
