Reviews before release date...

   I've asked for this probably 500 times, and now I understand is not possible. We'll have to live with it.  

Best way to avoid the problem: don't read reviews written before the album is released; wait till it's released  and you can be sure the reviewers have actually heard the music.

	As I posted in the other thread....Progarchives gets sent advanced copies to review already - they dont tend to be the biggest bands so nobody notices or is bothered. It's not as simple as you think.

	... should not be allowed. It's so easy to say "I base my review on a promo copy", but who really knows if that is the truth ? To maintain the credibility of this site, I suggest that reviews before an album's official release date be deleted. Who agrees ?
