Default Album Ratings

It's really started to bother me how albums can have ratings even if they haven't been released yet. Often, people like the music in the game, and give a five star rating to a soundtrack that's yet to be released, but in some cases, like with the upcoming Xenogears arrange album, there's no justification, unless they have a leaked bootleg or something.

I think that album ratings should be disabled until the date of an album's release. Amazon.com used to have the same problem, people reviewing albums before they came out and invariably skewing the ratings system. I think it's even worse here because we have such a small user base.
