^ I can't say with absolute certainty The locations were faked for those others and those accounts will be banned/ suspended/ reported as well as removing reviews. He rated his own work 5 stars and he also did the one star rating for COMPASSIONIZER Narrow Is the Road. I have dealt with all of the accounts mentioned and compiled a lot of other info (for future reference too in case others try to rate them) which I will go through at my own leisure later. Big job, thanks for reporting.

^ There are also these lonely 5-star ratings, though we can't prove anything :
The opposite can also be found ! |

Payback with the one star? ;)
I had to dismember and remove the ratings of several more fake accounts giving fives to GRECO BASTIÁN that registered after I deleted the earlier ratings. SEE this post from yesterday! (CLICK) It rather reeks of desperation. I'm convinced there's more abuse still. Will have to keep an eye on it. |

I feel kind of sad for him! Especially since it really is a very good album--probably one of the 20 best albums I've heard from 2022! |

Most unfortunate. I wanted to write a review of his latest effort (which I also enjoyed very much) but I no longer feel compelled to do so, to say the least.

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

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.

^ 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 |

^ 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.

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. ;)

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

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.

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.
