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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

Ah well not floating the boat of some of those into the Ziggy sound. I happen to adore this album with the reworking of some old classics in there. Go on Cracked Actor

This live album has actually stood the test of time it is not that bad as far as live albums go. Captured live in the U.S.A. there are some different takes on some well known songs Suffragette City and the Jean Genie stand out along with a live version of Knock On Wood.

Some unique versions of his earlier songs here. I think 1984 and Changes were my favorite.

i think this is a really poor live album. i'm not really a fan of the more 'soul' orientated bowie albums, so all these great tracks done with a bit of a soul-style edge is a bit lacklustre for me

Kind of a lifeless live album, almost as boring as the cover.
