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 has a Bayesian average rating of 61.5/100, a mean average of 61.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

Better than most think. (Edited)
Besides the brilliant Under Pressure, the album remains forgettable.
Ok, I feel like I should add a voice to those who say that this album is good, because it is and I feel like it has been thrashed way too much by people who don't get it.
This might be a different Queen sound than 70's Queen, but come on, it still definitely sounds like Queen. The songwriting skills are still there, the producing is amazing, even better than some of their 70's stuff, and the musicianship is still at display.
I guess the hate comes a lot from the disco haters of the early 80's that immediately dismissed this album as "disco". But come on, this album is so much more than that. It's Queen experimenting with new sounds and succeeding in creating something new, all the while staying true to their greatest qualities. This album is good and I think it has aged really really well.
I almost skipped this album because of all the hate I had read about. I'm so glad I gave it a chance! Don't overlook Hot Space my friends, it's a good album!!!
