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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.1/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Michael Jackson was always special, but with Off the Wall he proved that he was truly capable of anything he set his mind to. Wanting to break free from his brothers and father, Jackson teamed up with the legendary Quincy Jones to create a timeless work, inspired by the disco music trend of the time. From the thrilling opener, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, to the closer Burn This Disco Out, Jackson was able to create one of the most infectious records ever made, an album that would become the blueprint for modern pop music.
Michael Jackson's vocals are incredible. He was at the top of his game on this album, delivering some of his most iconic performances. The songs are all great. There's not a single filler track on the album.
This record is so much fun and is so smooth to listen to. This is primarily due to the production which is outstanding on this release. It sounds fantastic even to this day and is such a seamless listen. The instrumentation is creative and diverse as well and help to make the style Jackson is going for. Jackson himself is sensational on this album as well with some stand out performances on Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Off The Wall, Rock With You and Workin' Day And Night. He also shows his softer more delicate side on She's Out Of My Life which is a glimpse into the range of music he can create. His vocal is just outstanding and he displays its quality all across the release. However, it can be inconsistent at times and I do find it doesn't have as many elite level tracks as his other two huge releases. Overall, there is a lot of fun to be had on this record as it has great songs and some infectious music that makes it so enjoyable to experience.

Favorite MJ album. Absolutely amazing
The first half of this record is great funky pop which showcases Michael's potential, but the whole album is inconsistent.
Doesn't hit the heights of Thriller or Bad for me, but still some nice dance tracks. My favourites are Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Off the Wall and Can't Help It.

My favorite MJ album, Just so special and original. In 1979 this was the best album for a DJ:s night

Easily MJ's best album.
