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)

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.

I have two versions of it so suck on that. I bought the original and then I also bought the special surround sound 5.1 version of it. It was one of the first of its kind. They played the concert with surround sound as well. I guess that it was a pretty big deal at the time.

Cool, didn't know that. I'm sure the album isn't as bad as its rating suggests.

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 used to have a copy of St. Anger back in 8th grade, but I threw it out. God knows where it is now.
Huh. it's only 1.66, I thought it might be lower

I probably have something rated lower than this but this one came to mind since I recently looked at the Captains ratings.
Rated 1.76
I actually like the lp and think it deserves at least a 2.5-3.00
