Some progs lovers who never reviews because language, have the same sensibility that mine.

I prefer to refer to this ratings rather only reviewers

That function was starting to be severely abused,and has been disabled.

People casting 1 star votes for albums/bands they hate,and conversely giving 5 stars to albums/bands they love to manipulate their position on the Top 100.It was also starting to be abused by spammers.

But if you want you can do a review with your own language. Some italian, brazilian, and spanish speakers do that. And being prog-archives "The Ultimate Resource of Progresive Music", reading reviews in their language would be a great help to people who don't understand english and want to know about prog albums.

I think if you want to give an album a rating, you should justify why you have given that album a certain rating.
