   personally, if I think an album is 1 star, then I wouldn't even waste my time listening to it / rate it at all.

	Personally, if I consider an album to be only worth one star, then I don't waste my time writing a review. And I certainly don't want to mention it at all, hoping that it will eventually starve for lack of attention and die in the gutter.

	Perhaps it would be better if a clever one sentence review would be required. Like when Charles Baudelaire remarked about Richard Wagner's music: "I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws."

	I apologize if this has already been submitted as a solution. I looked at a few threads complaining about "bad reviewers" and such, but I didn't see any with this possible solution. Like the topic says, it would be nice if it was required for people to explain their 1 star ratings with a review. Obviously this would probably be difficult to retro-activate, but it's just a thought. Also maybe the same treatment for 5 star reviews? If you dislike an album enough to warrant it 1 star, then you must have at least 100 words to say why...
