http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=974 I don't know if this is necessarily wrong, but it just unsettles me that an album can have such a high rating and/or so many ratings without a single review. Perhaps a policy change of some sort? This is not meant to be for or against the ratings-only of albums in general. |

Clearly the album contains a subliminal message forbidding listeners from talking about it!

It can't be that good if nobody can be arsed to write a review of it. My feeling is ratings without reviews should be discounted as far as the Top 100 goes.

Of course it's not really good, but the admins are against removing those rating-only-reviews, so what should you do.

I agree with that sentiment. However, in the future, I believe some sort of policy should mandate that definitely the first and perhaps the first 5 "ratings" for a certain album must be reviews. Thoughts? Edited by stonebeard |

Not only the first 5, ALL ratings should be with reviews!

This is not even close to being true.Given that you only have to use the PM facility to conatct an Admin and ask his opinion,I find these remarks rather annoying. |

I don't know who told you this ... but Tony's right ... this issue had been going on for a long time and just to clarify ALL ADMINS ... ie current team of Tony R, Easy Livin and myself as well as past members Useful Idiot and maani ... are ALL in favour of getting rid of these ratings-only reviews ... The people who don't want to get rid of them are the site OWNERS m@x and Rony ... I'm sure you mixed this up ...  |
