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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

"Lust for Life" and "The Passenger" might be the most famous songs on this album, but for me, "Some Weird Sin" is the real hidden gem. What a song!
P.S. Be sure to give "Tonight" a listen too—it's another great track! (Edited)

The Bowie influence is all over this album but I would argue that fact only improves this release. The music feels classic and instantly relatable with the catchy choruses making some songs irresistible. The two huge songs really stand out on this record with Lust For Life and The Passenger being unquestionably two of his best ever songs. They are both just so infectious and they stay with you for ages after you finish the final track on here. The other songs are not as good as these two but they do come close with songs like Some Weird Sin and Tonight being two of my personal favourites. Also, I love Iggy Pop's vocal on here as well as it adds such a unique dynamic and makes the music his own and doesn't let the Bowie influence be in complete control. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable album with several great songs that makes this album so easy to revisit frequently. (Edited)

Iggy’s second album again working with David Bowie is his best solo album without question. Lust for Life, The Passenger, Tonight, Success and Neighborhood Threat are the best tracks for me. A little more commercial sounding than The Idiot but still very experimental with lyrics that are just as profound. (Edited)
Great hugely Bowie-influenced record, Tonight sounds like it could be Bowie's song.
Unfortunately not all tracks are as good as Lust For Life and The Passenger, there are some really bad ones lyrically: Sixteen or melodically: Turn Blue.
