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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.2/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.0.

yeah just keep putting this in your charts instead of A Night at the Opera or A Day at the Races or Queen 2 or Sheer Heart Attack or News of the World or Jazz or The Game so this pointless thing can stay in the top 1000. wtf is wrong with you? a slap in the face to each album below this.
"my favorite queen album is 'greatest hi-'" no, f&*% you.

I love Queen, and have heard all of their records, but let's face it, they are better with songs, not albums.
Without a doubt the best compilation ever in a single CD along with Legend of Bob Marley. Every song is important and the flow is flawless, it almost fells like an actual album.

For a band that's mostly known for their singles, rather than their albums, this greatest hits album is a must have.

This and the Beatles red album and was all my parents played when I was small. I think. Don't pretend you don't like it. It's fine.
I've listened to every track of this album so many time, that now it don't impresses me much. Great album, great band!
