I was not talking about Corvus Dean, Minstrel's Ghost got 5 new ratings from people that don't have the album, I just think it is not right that someone who does not have the album can rate it. I keep very close personal track of all who have purchased it.

I am really disapointed to read that. Really disapointed. Corvus Stone has 25 ratings, only 12 of those are rating only and none of them are less than 2-stars. A top-20 ranking in the 2012 chart is bloody good and should be congratulated and celebrated. Minstrals Ghost has 21 ratings and while a larger proportion are rating only, again none are less than 2-stars. 
 
I have put lot of effort into erradicating bogus ratings and if this is the response then I cannot see what else there is I can do, apart from finding something far more enjoyable to spend hours doing.
 
Thanks a bunch.

I believe this guy should be deleted, je'sn a liar

He has rated the whole discography of some bands or artists:

  1. 10 Jon Anderson albums all with one star: I hate Jon Anderson's music, 
  2. 7 Ars Nova All with 1 star
  3. 16 Flower Kings albums all with 1 star
  4. 11 Gentle Giant albums all with 1 star: Not a a fan either
  5. 13 Glass Hammer albums with 1 star
  6. 9 IQ albums with one star
  7. 19 Porcupine Tree albums all with 1 star
  8. Each and every one of the 11 Pink Floyd albums, all with one star
  9. 18 Spock's Beard releases all with one star
  10. 7 Seru Giram albums all with one star
Please, this guy is a fat dirty liar, he would have to be a stupid retarded 10, 18 or 19 albums from a band he hates, 

I hate Jon Anderson's Music, so I would never buy or even listen all his 10 albums

I have  cousin who is slightly retarded (and musical fan with very wide taste) but not even he  does that, he bought two Banco albums and never one more, the same with Glass Hammer and Gentle Giant

This guy should be banned, and all his ratings thrown to the trash where they belong

Possibly manipuation, but the evidence inconclusive.

I think Mellotron Storm's 3000-something reviews is a bit more impressive than 5000-something ratings, though.

I believe that any guy with 10 good reviews is more impressive than this guy witho 5,000 ratings of albums we don't know if he has heard.

True.  I have reviewed only one album on here (Rob's Refulgence) but I would rather have just that one review to my name than thousands of ratings that say absolutely nothing about the album.

Let's tell him he's an idiot or even kill him. LOL
I now checked that a lot (not all) of his voting is "biased" and I would bet he has not listened to all these albums he rates at 1-stars Ermm

^I can count my dad as one of those types of people, although with jazz. He has less time now, but there used to be nights where he'd stay up until 2 or 3 AM and listen to his some 900 albums. He gets new ones all the time as well.
