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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

A great reprise from Queen: albums of the '80s definitely not my cup of tea. This is a great exception, almost like good times.

Mi álbum favorito de Queen: The Show Must Go On, Innuendo (con la sensacional guitarra flamenca de Steve Howe) o These Are The Days Of Our Lives están entre sus mejores canciones.

I'm new to this album, though I've probably heard the rest of theirs when I was lots younger. Hmm, not sure what to make of this. It probably fits the regular queen formula of few singles standing out, few other good tracks and some duds. It does feel like one of their of their more coherent albums though. Mercury does sound lots different here, not bad, seems to be a lot higher. I am finding it hard to get through the production though, which I really don't like at all and is very off putting. That's a shame as they massively upped their game from the last album with some strong material. Where their best albums sound like a band playing, this sounds very much like it was constructed in the studio with session guys on rhythm section. Still, when's it's good, it really is and any amount of sterile pop rock over production can't spoil the highs.
