Certainly it counts as rating-without-review...
 For the case of double reviews for the same album, we're working on it. Thanks!

This guy keeps talking about how amazing Far East Family Band are, but he is reviewing a Far Out album! Sure they eventually became Far East Family Band, but I don't think that this is an appropriate review anyways. Also, he doesn't mention any songs on the album he is reviewing, but makes a point to mention future albums by Far East Family Band. Edited by Zappa88 - June 28 2007 at 13:30 |

This one is also copied by the same reviewer from above:
YES — Close to the EdgeReview by Legoman
Posted Monday, October 24, 2005, 22:17 EST | Permanent link YES — Close to the EdgeReview by BETO
Posted Thursday, July 05, 2007, 15:38 EST | Permanent link In fact, I think all of BETO's reviews may be plagiarized, I just checked his review of Meddle and it's also taken from another reviewer here. Edited by darkmatter - July 05 2007 at 16:45 |

How can he give five stars to something he thinks is 'awful' ?
It doesn't make any sense.

To Bob & Guigo: An important question: Now that we have a new feature on the web site, should we also report ratings without reviews that seem fishy and abusing? However, there's one:  It's clean-up time!!  |

There would need to be a clear breach of the rules Clarke. I.e., an apparent effort to manipulate the ratings for an album.
In that case, the user name is distasteful and disrespectful, but we have to assume it's his/her opinion of the album.

I'd like to add that the most common abuse for ratings-without-reviews is the flood of 5 stars or 1 star related to a particular album.
I believe that with the new tool it'll be easier to notice these floods and once discovered I believe they should be spot in another topic here, about rating manipulation.
(Please use the reviews discussion thread to discuss this further

I've found identical reviews for two albums, and it isn't 50 words.
Collaborators Reviews ANTARES — Over the Hills Review by Greger (Greger Rönnqvist) PROG REVIEWER "Out Of Sight" is of course the more professional of the two albums, but "Over The Hills" is a more personal and unique album, so I actually prefer the older one. Both albums is however interesting in their own rights.

This http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=128314 is an obvious abuse, as you can verify for yourself by listening to the audio samples or reading Hugues' review. The reason for the abuse is that the album (which was almost completely unknown until now) was promoted on #33 on the top 100 by the new algorithm, drawing attention & debate upon it. This guy lies and misinforms due to frustration over the new top 100.

The best album of all times. Perfect melodies, guitar solos etc... 
Kekal, being around for quite some time,over 10 years,is a very
extrodinary band.All the album's they've had is very promising.
Never been let down with any of the album,and neither has The Habit of
Fire,is album is awesome. 
It's good, but should've been an EP. Just not a whole album worth. Some
of the parts are memorable. But many just repeat themselves (even the
memorable one). Not sure what all the hype is about really. It's well
produced, the instrumentation is good. The lyrics are all over the
boards, but as a whole average. I'd figure it's the old breakdown of a
good composition, but it's not even spectacular. Decidedly un-epic
considering it's over 40 minutes long. 
Seriously. I can't believe how overrated this album has become. The singer of YES
isn't imparticularly talented, the lyrics were written somewhere between recess and
lunch and the some of the sounds that are in it are completely obnoxious! I really
don't understand how this is someone's favorite YES album and especially how it is
THE BEST PROGRESSIVE ALBUM EVER!!1one It isn't. However, this is not to say that I
don't like and respect it. I feel that it is good in it's own respect, maybe
somewhere on the level of Discipline by King Crimson but certainly not the best.
Sorry,but i don't like RUSH.i believe that other bands like GENESIS,YES,CAMEL,GENTLE GIANT,have played years ago what RUSH
was trying to do later.Although i think HEMISPHERES it's the best effort they ever done, but still so poor...!!
