Here's 3 titles of which I've given 3 stars rating/review for each :
GROBSCHNITT - 'Razzia' - 1.91 out of 15 ratings
    "       - 'Kinder Und Narren' - 1.62 out of 11 ratings
RENAISSANCE - 'Time Line' - 1.64 out of a whopping 71 ratings !!
I get a lot out of these albums, they are not what I'd consider atrocious, but most folks do.

Currently for me it's Blut Aus Nord's "Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age" with a 2.00 rating. With only 4 votes, a review from me would probably bounce it right out of "worst rated album I own" status. 
 
On  a more straightforward metal site (particularly one with a lot of black metal fans), this release usually ranks among BaN's most well regarded albums...kind of an underground classic.

Huh. it's only 1.66, I thought it might be lower
I guess that's my new winner now too.  That's real low (deservedly or not), when you consider that it probably has a ton of ratings, and it's impossible to give less than one star.  I think it's a decent album myself.

So how do a run a chart of the lowest rated?
I tried to figure it out, but couldn't find any way to do it.  I just tried to think of well known bands with controversial albums and looked them up.   If there's a way to query the database, I'd love to hear it.

Oryzhein - Scalaria (1.14).  This is one of the worst albums I've ever heard and I'm still kicking myself for actually paying real money for it Angry

I haven't checked but I'm willing to put big bucks that it's one of Jan Akkerman's records from the 80s.

I remember Caravan's The Album being horribly dissed by PA contributors....I think the rating was below 2.00.  As far as non-live/bootleg, compilation or unofficial releases go, this is the lowest rated album I own that I know of.  Deserving of it's slogging?  Maybe, but not moreso than most latter era Caravan.  The most cringeworthy moment from the LP being when they tried reggae!

No Way !! 'Clear Blue Sky' is a winner and one of my fave tunes from later Caravan, Sinclair's bubbling mini-moog adds so much spaciness to the piece it just works for me. I'd say 'The Golden Mile' was the rubbish tune off 'The Album'.

Wow!  A fan of Clear Blue!  Come to think of it, there's a little pseudo-bluegrass on the album, some fake reggae, some funk lite (Golden Mile), some pure pop....but not much Caravan.  The best cuts, to me, are Whatca Gonna Tell Me and Piano Player....they might have fit in on, say, the Blind Dog album.  That's good enough for me! 
 
Again, not a terrible album....just not very Caravany.

My worst rated lp was probably Love Beach by ELP, which I bought used btw, ...but then I sent it to my brother as soon as I heard the whole thing.
LOL

^ 'Love Beach' ain't that bad, it's not that great either, but there's worse.

I'd rather have Time Line and Big G than Love Beach.

Seriously - 'Moteur!' by Ange, 'Love Child' by Curved Air, 'Underwraps' by Jethro Tull, 'Codename : Wildgeese' by Eloy, 'Abacab' by Genesis (maybe on par with LB), 'Giant For A Day' by Gentle Giant........to name a few.

Love Beach isn't ELP's worst album as I pointed out earlier.
