430 reviews of that album means 430 people who have reviewed or rated that album. any person has the (one-time) right to review an album he wants. besides that, it can't be anything force or pushed.

They can review these albums, top five prog-defining albums, eslewhere. 
 
 
It will just create more exposure for lesser known bands, like Triumvirat, T2, Ragnorak, Dirty Three, Yellow Magic Orchestra, David Sylvian, Rare Bird, Quicksand, Gastr Del Sol. 
 
If this precept was in effect, this time next year every artist will have been reviewed on PA. 
 
 


And we would have more over reviewed bands and then we couldn't review those any more and have to wait for new prog. Eventually all the bands that no longer play any more will not be able to be reviewed in a few years time.

Time is the only friend of unreviewed albums, eventually they will be reviewed. You will not be able ot "force people to review lesser known albums", this is a flawed arguement.
To suggest that we limit the number of reviews of an album is folly.

It could also force people to stop coming to this site since they can't give their input on a great album.

I have noticed many of admins want people to review
 
"unreviewed albums" in the PA.  Perhaps, the solution to this
 
problem is placing a limit on the how many times can be reviewed. 
 
 
 
However, I realize it is unfair to impose PA members  not to
 
review a particular album, but do we really 430+ reviews on In the
 
Court of the Crimson King. 
 
This will force peole to review lesser known albums, moreover,
 
increase exposure of unpopular bands. 
 
 
Thoughts?
