I've noticed something weird in Heldon's page, there are 2 live albums released in 2015 with the same rating. Both have 4 ratings and it's the same people who rated them, looks a little bit fishy, it could be the same guy or maybe not, worth checking I think.

Looking at these four guys I don't see much suspicious. I think they all just happened to be the only 4 people besides you to know these live albums.  Sorry the investigation took so long. Your post predated my abmin duties by 1 day.

Crikey! That's A LOT of 5-star ratings! I've been criticised for being overly generous with my album ratings too, but I'm not THAT generous.

Yeah, I confess, I thought the first Asia album was the best record ever made for about three months. When I was fourteen, and didn't know sh*t from shoe polish. Then one day I just suddenly realised that I never ever wanted to hear it again...and didn't, for about thirty-five years.

Asia debut = a good, solid album, not 5 stars. After that, from the several albums I’ve invested time with (and never got back) its all downhill.

I hadn't actually heard Asia before, so I had to check it out. Listening to the first album now. Doesn't sound very interesting far. Too polished for my taste, and in general I think it's a sort of mainstream pop/rock that bands like Toto did much better. But if the guy thinks it's all worth 5 stars, then good for him. However, it is hard to take seriously when almost all albums on the profile get either 5 or 1 star. Is there any particular reasons why one can rate albums without writing a review?

I’m a bit of an Opeth fan-boy, but i consider Morningrise, Damnation, Pale Communion and maybe Heritage as 5 star masterpieces, the others 4’s and even 3’s.

I believe this was done so as not to discourage people who couldn't write in English all that well from visiting the site/contributing (as reviews have to be written in English).

There is indeed no such thing as a 2 star or 1 star opeth album
 and those 3 star ones are just barely 3 stars |
