Rating metrics: Help 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 61.7/100, a mean average of 60.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Not THAT bad... The title track is classic Queen. The rest...? Kinda forgettable.

This B-movie soundtrack isn’t necessarily unpleasant to listen to, but it’s short, interspersed with a pile of cheesy dialogue and sound effects, and only contains two full fledged Queen songs.

Just like the film it's wonderfully silly and brilliant. It compliments the movie perfectly and there is some great use of synthesizers on here. Flash's theme is obviously fantastic, but football fight and battle theme are also great. The hero, at the end is also very good. It just about gets away with being an album in it's own right.

If you're expecting the usual Queen album i.e. one full of pop hits, epic rock songs and eccentric extras, this is not what you're looking for. But as a camp, silly soundtrack to a camp, silly film, it works marvellously. Job well done then, but it's hardly an essential Queen record.
