It is one of these cases, where we know that such review is wrong, that it's not fair, but we have no means to prevent it. Downside of democratic society, from which PA takes some principles. Everyone can post reviews.

It has many positives, so I am glad.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I sympathise with what you are saying, but he is clearly not breaking any rules.

I would suggest that the only person taking his views seriously will be himself and Mum, and his effect on the overall rating will be quite small as well.

You mean this one I think? http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=534737

The review doesn't say much about anything but it's probably not violating any rules.
Unless this user (who registered just to bring this album down) would already have another account.

Under each review there's a link that points directly to this thread. If you click on "Report this review" we see also the link. If the album has a lot of reviews finding the one that you are reporting can be hard. Smile

Don't be scared matey as we welcome the feedback and will always investigate on your behalf. Judging by his member page his one star ratings run the whole gamut of  12 sub genres of Prog. If he wanted to attempt ratings manipulation he would normally 'scattergun' a volley of 5 or 1 star reviews towards a select few individual artists or individual sub genres. Yep, he spends wads of wonga on lots of albums he professes to loathe but it's his loss.

The weighting system of reviews employed on PA makes such attempts at ratings manipulation by rank and file members utterly futile anyway. Welcome to the forum.

He has joined the site few months ago and probably hasn't understood the meaning and the purpose of the ratings or of the site itself. Ratings only have a low weight so are not very influential. If you want you can PM him asking why he listens to so many bad music.

That would be a nonsensical amount of work for the admins. Hundreds of ratings are submitted daily.

Thick As A Brick is hella more symphonic. Aqualung is still frimly rooted in the blues rock with some proggy explorations here and there.Good classic rock, but it doesn't has the progs IMO.

Although I like both a lot, I don't think they are very similar.

He should be removed from the site and his ratings wiped out. I know his ratings don't make a great deal of difference overall to the average rating of the works, but it's a matter of principle.

Apparently the guy likes some Post Barrett Pink Floyd albums and hates most of the other 200 albums he has rated.

My opinion is that the guy is beaten by his wife at home and he's only free when he expresses his hate publicly.

He hates Yes, Genesis, Epignosis, PFM, most Supetramp, among many others, but incredibly he rates Thinck as a Brick with 5 stars but Aqualung with one...This makes no sense, because both share many similarities, I understand somebody who loves TaaB and hates Stand Up because it's Blues, but his ratings make no sense.

The guy is a music hater
