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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

This is AT LEAST a 9.
This Album ahs his highs and downs but very interesting piece of art and industrial rock from the GOAT
I too am afraid of Americans. Solid record, basically it's if David Bowie sung over NIN instrumentals.
Not my favorite Bowie' album, but definitely a very interesting one with highlights such as "Little Wwonder" and "Dea Man Walking". The combination of electronic elements with hard rocking guitars makes this an innovative album
This to me is proof of the man's genius. Its by no means a great album, but for a 50 year old man to not only record a drum'n'bass album, but actually do a decent job shows how remarkable he was.
Interesting experiment.
A 50 year old David introduces some drum & bass elements, prompting a predictable ageist & crass negative response from many "open-minded" music followers and critics.

Ho sempre sostenuto che l'ultimo disco di Bowie che contenesse delle canzoni che valessero davvero la pena di essere ascoltate fosse questo ( almeno fino a prima dell'uscita di "Blackstar" ); riascoltando i lavori successivi non mi sono ricreduto, se non in minima parte. La prime quattro canzoni di "Earthlin", infatti, hanno creatività, ritmo, melodia e sono al passo coi tempi ( la jungle ) senza che questo significhi inseguire effimere mode leggere e superflue, cosa che invece purtroppo si può dire in parte delle altre cinque...

One of Bowie's less notable albums, Earthling is one of Bowie's mid-range works. The only track that really stands out is Seven Years in Tibet, but I can't say there's a bad song on here.
