Hey, that guy only rated 2010 albums. It's obvious he's manipulating the list.

He clearly doesn't think his latest album is as good as his debut. LOL
 
If this is that artist rating his own albums then I don't see too much of a problem, there is nothing in the rules to say he can't and I don't think we should judge him harshly for liking his own music. If he starts rating rival albums with 1 or 2 star ratings or there are a spate of back-lash low ratings for these albums then I think we should act.
What?

Hello everyone, I'm sorry to bother you about such a thing, but... is there anything strange in a rating like this?

Not sure if it's an abuse, but I wanted to share it with you.

If it was anyone but Deep Purple it would be obvious ratings manipulation, in this case, I think this person's knowledge of good music should boost him to SC.

At least; that means he/she is not a member of Deep Purple. LOL All of them has their pet hates in their discography.

Indeed Toridd, Ritchie would probably give most of the 1 star now.

I also know that Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and John Lord would give some of the mid 1970s album 1 star (with added swear words). Ian Paice is not happy about the first albums so that's at least some 2 stars reviews. David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes would probably agree with mine 1 star assessment for the House Of Blue Light. Tommy Bolin is dead. Steve Morse does not like the first albums too.

Conclusion: Noone of the Deep Purple members posted these reviews.

I think that goes down as fact.

The album is to be released in March, no promo copies were given, and it has already been rated by manipulators.

None of those are what I would call manipulators. Two of them are indeed binary in their voting, but there is no relationship between the low & high vote bands - infact the one who gave the 1-star review rates the first two BF albums as 5-star, so that's hardly a manipulator or even a fanboy.
 
However, they are all rating on either a leak or just the youtube samples. So, off with their heads.
What?
