Haken's new album is looking to beat it.  I wonder if we'll start seeing 2 star ratings on that one, too.

Funny, yesterday, after seeing that Dean did a great job excluding fake ratings, Steven Wilson album dropped to 4th place, now, less than 24 hours, it's second LOL

It takes a while for the effect of deleting ratings to perculate through the system.
What?

Respect for doing that clean up.

Presumably all the reviewers' ratings have been removed? Including the negative ones?

Yup. All the ratings and reviews of 73 accounts were wiped out within the space of an hour. I don't know how may ratings that was in total, but it probably ran to thousands.
 
I made no distinction between positive and negative ratings (doesn't bother me either way) - if multiple-accounts were involved I deleted them regardless.

Here's one that I ran across a while ago that needlessly trashes an album wherein the reviewer admits to not giving it a fair, complete listen. It offers nothing constructive and only consists of close-minded prejudice.

Does this guy really need to try and stir up opposition?  So he doesn't like Haken,  Okay.  Does he really need to make enemies on purpose?  Plus, I doubt he heard the album, as this is a highly generic review.  That's my own opinion, though.

It would have helped if you linked the review rather than the album page, but since there is only one low rating review it doesn't take an Einstein to work out which review you are talking about.
 
So. okay. I've read it. What's wrong with it?
What?

Oh, wait.  I'm talking to Dean.  I guess he doesn't see the animosity or threatening nature of this review.  Whatever.  I already contacted him asking why he felt the need to threaten or invite opposition.  I've been contacted before by this dude in a mean-spirited way.  Just sayin'.  I don't give a crap if he rates the album down.

Just because you disagree with it, doesn't make it reportable. It's oddly written, but English may not be the first language.

Another T insurgent?  Seems to be rating other new albums down, but it could just be me.  His review seems hokey.

How does the new Phideaux have 17 ratings? Has it actually been released yet anywhere?
