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.
 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.

Fine. But I think I'll write a review these days to balance it.

Well, at least he will have sold one copy of each album then.

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

Another pearl of wisdom...or dedication, at least. I admit I giggled a bit.
 Not sure if it's an abuse, but I wanted to share it with you. www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=31524 |

Just another example of the quick ratings facility at its best.
 I think he likes Deep Purple.

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. Edited by toroddfuglesteg - February 06 2011 at 07:29 |

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.

However, they are all rating on either a leak or just the youtube samples. So, off with their heads.
