Feels like being a kindergartenteacher..
It's almost funny if it wasn't so sad. |

I've as of right now deleted all the ratings for the Marillion Fear album. Within seconds of finishing deleting all of them, one 5 star rater rated it, so I deleted that, then he quickly rated it again, and so I deleted it again.
Wish ratings could be disabled for unreleased albums. Edited by Logan - September 11 2016 at 14:42 |

It seems like a battle between fanatics, lovers and haters alike.
Even if the album is a day old, how can it possibly be a masterpiece yet? I don't agree, that everyone should put text when they rate an album. Not everyone is as good with words as others. I, for example, am not able to write a descent review (if I compare to others who have a great way with words). But just blindly hating on albums/artists is something that 14 year olds would do. I would have expected more from progmusic-lovers.
Come to think of it: I rated Metallica with 1 star. |

Indeed. 47 ratings for an album that hasn't yet been released? I don't think all of those people received advance review copies. This is not good for the site. |

I've had a few with one star..... but no text. And I reckon it's time to ban those reviews without text.
Why ? Well, suppose I upset someone on this site. They go off and give me one star as a punishment beating. ;-) Additionally, reviews are supposedly there to "help" the artist (hoots with laughter) - no text helps no one. No text, no reason, useless, in my opinion.

I've just seen ratings for the new Marillion album, not yet released. Ratings for albums not yet released should not be allowed IMO. What's going on?

This guys seems to be randomly voting and tactically assigning 1-stars to specific bands

He's really listened to all those albums he hates enough to rate them? He must spend an awful lot of time listening to albums he hates.
