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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

An underrated album after the first 2 tracks. While those two are great, they have a larger standing as a pair and not album tracks, unlike Bohemian Rhapsody where it just fits on ANATO. Sheer Heart Attack is good. All Dead, All Dead is good. Spread Your Wings is a masterpiece. Fight From The Inside is good, and still the weakest song on the album. Get Down, Make Love is great, and leaves you kinda wondering why. Sleeping On The Sidewalk in the same way. Who Needs You is there to balance it out. And then It’s Late. By word what a track! And My Melancholy Blues is possibly Mercury’s best vocal performance ever. And don’t even get me started on the album cover. Would make for one of the greatest albums simply by that.
All in all, while not the best Queen record in terms of “Queen” the best album they produced.
(Those looking for bonus tracks, I recommend Feelings, Feelings, which would have been perfect on this album, and We Will Rock You Fast Version.) (Edited)
3rd track in Punk style. 77 year is Punk year. All play Punk
Tracks 5-7 are best
Solid record

Overall a fairly uninspiring album. We are the Champions is lovely, We Will Rock You is very overrated (but the guitar solo is great). A few other decent highlights (It's Late, Who Needs You surprisingly I quite enjoyed) but overall it's not a great album in my view
