I think you can ask an admin to delete the ratings in question. I heard, they did it already on request.

Well you can always change your ratings. I have done so myself, whenever I have revisited an album and found it slightly better or worse than what I remembered it to be. Allright, it's happened three times, but the thing itself is easy to do. |

This wouldn't be a problem if it were possible to delete your own ratings. Which I often wish I could do, because many of my ratings were added in the spur of the moment when I was hardly familiar with the album in question.

Yea this issue really makes me wish i didn't rate some albums. |
Yes, same with me. I rated some albums beforehand. Now that I decided to add some reviews here or there, it won't show up on the first page...

It still is a shame. It easily gets lost in the midst of all the other reviews, thus no one will see it. Small thing, but it should be fixed. Agreed!

It's obviously something Max is aware of and knows how to fix for the PA.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

So that's where the problem lies? I'm sorry, I tried posting it didn't work, I edited it, and it worked. Sorry to waste your time, but thanks for helping me!

That's only 92 words - reviews of less than 100 words are not saved - add 9 more words and all will be good.

Every song contains an extraordinary amount of creativity. Not in complexity, but in sheer beauty. Anyone who turns to The Snow Goose to relax, or anyone in general who wants to sit back and enjoy the solemness of life will find love for this album.<p>I only give it 4* due to the fact the average prog lover may not like this, as this isn't true progressive music. But anyone who wants a calming album with a variety of textures and moods just from one man and a piano will find sanctuary here.

I've attempted to put down the review, and once all done, I hit submit and it was all gone. It didn't post. All that it did was rate the album 4*

^ No - if you rate you can add a review later - I don't know what is happining in this case - it is likely to be a User side issue as no other member has reported a problem - but until I have more data I cannot analyse the problem furher. Starting from a clean-slate, posting a review and then making an edit is the easiest way of gathering more data.

Oh, that's the case. Huh. So if you rate, you can't ever review? In my case, that's where this stands? Well

Rating deleted.
Once you manage to post the review could you try editing it please. Non-PRs can edit their reviews.
