I'm not really sure, but going off of your pick, Invisible Touch 2.38 / 5.00. That's pretty low

I think the clear winner from my collection is ELP - Love Beach, 2.05 (405 ratings) Others which are at the same level or lower, but which lack a statistically significant number of ratings: PFM?PFM! (1984) 2.01 (43 ratings) Earth and Fire - Andromeda Girl 2.09 (17 ratings) << it used to be under 2 until I reviewed it and gave it a 3! Franco Battiato - Battiato 2.02 (13 ratings) << ditto! Amon Duul - Disaster 1.36 (16 ratings) ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Probably Split Enz' live album The Living Enz (1.38) but that's from 4 ratings, and IMHO totally undeserved, and the album has a wagonload of good songs. |

I also have Genesis' debut album, but then again I have most of their albums - Invisible Touch as well.  Marillion - I own Less Is More, Holidays in Eden, This Strange Engine, well, again, most of their albums , even not the cool ones.Yes - the Rabin albums.

That reminds me Yes "Open Your Eyes" had a lot of ratings and was just over 2.0 on average. Unfortunately for this thread, that's the only Yes album I don't own and have never heard. I'm sure somebody here has it, suckers. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Triumvirat-Russian Roulette 1.55 Triumvirat-A La Carte 1.69 Wallenstein-Blue Eyed Boys 2.14 The Triumvirats are probably two of the most hated albums ever. I dared to give both a 3 out of 5 vote after re-evaluating them on hearing some of their songs on a live recording (Triumvirat Live in Germany 1980), which are done in a gutsier fashion, and enabled me to actually like something of those two albums. |

Except that Open Your Eyes is not a Rabin album ( if i may say so), Steve Howe is on guitar. Kinda sleepwalking throughout the album.

Under Wraps, probably.
Edit : 2.22, that's pretty good. Thought it was lower than that. ------------- |

I probably have something rated lower than this but this one came to mind since I recently looked at the Captains ratings.

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.

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   ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |

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! ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

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. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

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.

^ I'd rather have Time Line and Love Beach to BG........
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. |

Oddly enough, the second lowest Burnin' Red Ivanhoe album on this site also happens to be me favourite of theirs. I guess it takes a Dane to grasp and dig the vocals of troubadour Povl Dissing.  Wallifanten
