Should Ratings Be Abolished?

Indeed, despite some reviewers misusing the star system (or not using them according to moi!!!), it doesn't bother me greatly. Ultimately the ratings come out relatively the same throughout RM and PA... the better albums come out on top within a group's discography.
However, the trick I use is not just to compare each album within a band's catalogue or within a given genre, but also in rock music history and how it could be significant. So yeah, it's not just about what and how I love the album, outside factors can interfere for added points.... and I specify it in the review.

Of course, no site equals Gnosis2000 , which I trust it almost blindly, not just because I'm one of the chosen few)




As for allowing reviews in other languages, it wouldn't be too hard to get one or two Spanish or French speakers collabs   (.... or Dutch .... or German... Or Italian... or even Japanese)   to peruse over them incoming reviews ... OK, sure , getting a few Indonesians, Ethiopians, a couple of Georgians (what fg alphabet they got!!) or Iranians might prove a ittle more difficult

Nice one Raff! I can easily take care of the Scandinavian lingos bar the Finnish, which is complete gibberish to me. I can count to three though but that's all

I struggle understanding reviews written in English most days.
