Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Typical Queen album with some good tracks and some filler. But this one has a fairly good ratio to be fair. The first 5 tracks are good, then there's a huge lull before Save Me. My favourite track is Another One Bites The Dust, with Need Your Loving Tonight coming second.

One of their better albums, there are filler tracks but they are tolerable.

I think that this is among the top 5 Q albums. 3 bangers and many other decent songs make this a worthwhile listen,

Underrated album by Queen, more pop than they 70s album but that doesn't mean its bad, its a good album with some solid songs
