I can't imagine rating any album I haven't heard.
Anybody who does so is doing it for reasons other than musical discussion. There's no use for that here.

I'm wondering if it's split because of the ambiguity of the question. I think some people are confused and honestly I am too so I didn't vote. All it asks is "do you agree?" The title of the thread suggests "Do you agree with rating albums you haven't heard" while reading the OP would suggest "do you agree with my stance against rating albums you haven't heard." Surely nobody actually thinks it's a good idea, and if they do, I don't quite understand why.

I voted no because
1) ratings don't impact chart rank
2) there's no way to prove that people do this

I-tunes has this problem way more. As for me, I have to listen to the record all the way through before I will give a rating. And as I go through records multiple times, my rating can go up or down from the initial rating I gave.

Yeah it sucks. The lowest rating I ever give is 70. If there's something I think is really awful, I just don't rate it at all simply because the most likely reason is that I have a dislike for that style of music or a dislike for that particular person. So what I would really be rating is the entire genre or my personal feelings about that artist. And that's just not fair. We're supposed to be rating the album itself, not the style or the person. So I just don't rate it at all because that would just be a shitty thing to do. I'm not sure it happens all that often around here though. Once in awhile I see something with a rating of 5 or 10 out of a hundred. But not really that often.

I didn't vote because I found the question ambiguous.
I think it's stupid, but the BEA system does intrinsically encourage it - it's an easy way to get your ranking up so you can make decade charts etc. But it's even easier to add new albums if you want quick points, and that actually helps the site.

I always listen to an album completely before finalizing my rating (sometimes I get excited and rate while I'm listening, but so far I have always completed the album I am rating). I don't really care about my points, I'll get where I need to be eventually. I try to rate with precision, and cannot do that without completing the album.
