It says that I rated Comus' album "First Utterance". I did not. I haven't even heard of them.

Anyway, it's objectively false that that album is 1 star, so obviously you didn't do it.

But I didn't even rate it. I've never been to the Comus page

^ You don't need to - you could have accidentally clicked on the Instant Rating bar when the album was displayed on a Top xxx chart or in a review on the front page. It happens. If it's any help the rating was made on 13th may and you posted on the forum from the same IP address that the rating was made from.

What?

Ah, so that's why I gave it two.  I always wondered about that.

Ooh, a spicy discussion in the waiting!  

I admire your guts, Andrew, but hold on now;  unless that was sarcasm, a 1-star rating may be subjectively false, but objectively I'm not so sure.   I have heard the no-artist-who-records-an-album-deserves-1star argument - if that's what you mean - and though as a musician I have sympathy for that perspective, I've also heard albums (just a few) that are indeed worse than the discs I gave 2-stars to.   So they get one star.  Seems only fair.   But I will also stress the importance of a review with an explanation and description that is reasonably satisfying.

Maybe you were on Ambien and sleep rated it? Tongue

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

One could possibly rate any reviewed album from the homepage or rate the Comus album from the prog-folk top 20.

I say we kick him out for abusing the system.
