Is it the new Dream Theatre album? It's even worse than their previous ones.

If we don't do anything, we may get closed down. That's the choice we have. |

The courts. It is not very likely, but in a very fluid scene where the law firms is moving about the net, we should already now establish some sound routines. So when the flood comes; we are as insured as your own house is insured. .......... but this has been an ongoing debate in PA since you were a young delinquent.......... |

This is ridiculous. Who gave it a 5 star rating?

I really don't see why a justice system would ever care, even if a musician brought a suit against PA for some reason. Even if someone did bring a suit, it would be a jurisdictional headache to get to Max in Canada from wherever the musician is, unless Rush, GYBE, or Devin Townsend took personal offense for some reason. ;-) Yes, I know this is something that has been discussed ad infinitum, and I don't understand why it's still an issue when the only benefit (not making the few people with legitimate promo copies wait a month before posting their review) is so small, but whatever.
Somebody who is apparently very enthusiastic. Edited by Henry Plainview - February 02 2011 at 06:14 |

I very much doubt anyone is every really going to go to the lengths of suing!!!!! for what? for why?
It's just annoying, even a 5* review......... it means that one the time comes umpteen people will jump on the band wagon and dismiss the ratings completely screaming fanboyism!!! For info though, we have no intention of sending out advance review copies, there's plenty of time to review discuss after it's release! R x

I see a single 3 star rating slipped in at the end.

We can stop any publishing of ratings and reviews before the release date. Then again; we do not have any access to a database which gives us these dates...... I believe. Neither do I believe such a database excist. It did 20 years ago though when I started out. The music business is incredible fractured at the moment with numerous of publishers/record labels. If we are sending out enquiry emails to everyone who may release something, we may be less popular than personal visits from Jehovah Witnesses and that even in the Pendragon HQ. I really do not know how to stop ratings like that one.

Usually releases like this have their dates annouced. Block the ratings since the actual release date, problem solved. |

We need a volunteer/own admin for that. You take that up with the powers that is ? Edited by toroddfuglesteg - February 02 2011 at 06:50 |

I wonder if "blocking the ratings until release date" is actually manageable. There are hundreds of albums coming out every year. If M@x could add a date related lock on the album then it would still be hit and miss and some people do get advanced review copies.
Best to just pick up the obvious offenders and tackle it that way? |

I am sitting on at least five advanced copies with release date. I have told the bands/labels that the reviews will be published on that date - or later - and they all agree with that. That self imposed policy solves that problem. |
