    Posted: January 18 2007 at 18:35
    How can somebody have rated Threshold's Dead reckoing with a 1 if the album is not out yet and no music is available???? And most of all, how can that rating COUNT???? It's very easy to act like a child and go submit a rating against a band you hate without actually facing the music, without giving your name... i could submit ratings for a lot of bands I don't like just to see their ratings go down, but I care as to say WHY. This is unacceptable. Can somebody explain this to me??/

    I just checked... there's no option for downloading anything neither from thresh.net nor from nuclearblast.de, so whoever submitted that rating has either an illegal download or is just a musical-brat.

Well done, that's what I like about a ruling-party: the decissions get done IMMEDIATELY, no matter whose heads have to be cut.

A little searching revealed 16 RWR's by him, 15 x 1 star and 1x 5 star.
I have deleted all of them.

???? No, I haven't seen any other one. Think a misunderstandment has taken place.       

But now that you mention this, how come some album with just ONE review have much different scores that that lone review? I didn't know (until now) that you could submit just a rating with no review.

This is not the perfect representation of his ratings, amongst which are also 2,3 and 4-star ratings, but doesn't this make anyone else alert?

To get back on topic: This is why I don't like the idea of adding albums before they are released.

well IMO adding the album is like to tell you that the artist will release that album. it's actually fine as long as people submit the reviews after the album released, regardless they already heard the album

It would be good if the coming album is added to the archives, but reviewing be not possible until it's finally released. That way we get rid of these "reviews" that consist of a rating and nothing else (and usually an extreme rating: either a 5 or a 1, which shows the amount of thinking the "reviewer" put into it).

Yes, the case with Scarsick is the worst. At least we have now ONE collaborator review. I don't know why but I tend to trust these more. But anyway, it's not good that the album isn't even out yet and we have more than 10 reviews, and many of them more than 2 months old! Well, this topic was discussed somewhere else and there's no hope for a change in policy, so I guess there isn't any point to continue the analysis.

   I still believe that you should not be allowed to rate an album unless you review it.

Indeed but especially Prog Reviwers....surely a Prog Reviewer should have NO ratings-without-reviews in his portfolio?

Who are you referring to? I have never rated an album without a review.
