   I pick the fourth...
For example, i very much like Rhapsody - Symphony Of The Enchanted Lands. However i don't see them prog enough, so i gave 3 stars to that album. Otherwise, i probably would give a 4 stars...

Poll Question: What should be the focus of the progarchives ratings?

	Well, I think there should be several points included: if you like it if it is progressive if it is interesting/boring if it is varied if it is innovative/original

	How much you like the album - although perhaps we could reserve the MAXIMUM score if the album was also prog.

	Me too. I think the person can explain that don´t think the album is progressive and why, but rate according how much like the album. For example, I made a review of Angra - Angel´s Cry and gave 3 stars according to my taste. I like the album, I´ve bought it for a very low price. I simply think that Angra is a band that tried sound like Iron Maiden and Helloween, and for me it isn´t progressive. I said this in the review: they try to be like Iron and Helloween, but the album is good and I encourage people who like Iron Maiden or Helloween to buy the album.

	The ratings shoudl be based only on your view of the content of the album, except that five star ratings should be reserved for masterpieces of prog only. By doing so, we will help to guide people towards the cream of the genre.

	What do you think? I think that how progressive an album is should not be determined by the ratings.
