I think you can modify the rating to a value that you consider more appropriate even without writing a review. Clicking on the stars below the album thumbnail after having logged on should be enough

someone have just rated the Hunter before the album is even released, and that certain person gave it a 5 without even knowing what it sounds like.
i think it is ileagal to rate an album which havent been out in the marked yet, the release date is 27th of August, it is a month adead in the future, (I know some lucky souls have had the pleasure of sneak listenings, the band is known for let some people hear the albums so they can get feed back, like Brann Dailor lett Mike Portnoy take a sneak peak on Crack the Skye before it was released just to get an other guys opinion about it; but it should not be allowed to rate a album before the release date, that does not feel right to me) |

If we have albums added before the release date untimely ratings and even reviews are inevitable.
I propose to delete such additions.

Can you explain the link to me more, as this just takes me to the review of the album on our site. I see it is a review (5 stars) of an album by the proprietor of Caerrlys Music, and as such could be seen as hype... |

Some reviewers have promotion deals with labels and receive albums months before their official release. Itīs part of the labels promotional stragedy to make people aware of an albumīs existence before the official release date. I seem to remember that PA doesnīt allow this though. Am I right?

The reviewer of The Hunter has just told me he based his review on hearing "the single".
Wonderful, that's what reviewing is all about, obviously. |

sorry. It sounded more like a press release than a legit review to me.

Notwithstanding your misgivings re the 1 star reviews, and call it a wild stab in the dark if you like but just maybe this guy has a predilection for experimental/post metal perchance?

^^^ yeah, he just rates obsessively and pretends to hate what we all like. Sadly does not really like prog in this case. Too many of these jokers are growing here. I just wish they could justify their loathing for classic well loved prog albums- 1 star means worthless - and how can you call gems such as Tull's Stand Up or Bubu's album worthless? It cant be taken seriously, this unintelligent type of attacking with 1 star.

Seriously. I don't know why people get so worked up about stupid 1 star ratings when they have no noticeable impact on popular albums. |

Because it's a stupid thing. I don't know why people should waste his time by rating albums without having any weight. Well I waste my time by writing reviews....thinking better probably it's because they contaminate our favorite toy.

Looks like a manipulative rating from someone that can't stand that a type of music he doesn't like (and doesn't have a clue about if you look at the bands he lists as reference) is above all his favorites in the PA Top 100 Popular List. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=505411 |
