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 mean average rating of 82.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

I actually think many Bowie fans underrate Aladdin Sane. I think it's incredibly consistent, and the title track and Time are as good as any 70s songs he wrote.
This man is unbelievable
Nice record.
This album has the best piano ever in the title track as played by Mike Garson - if it's jazz then I take back all I said about jazz.
I do like the softer tracks on the album like Lady Grinning Soul and Time, but also a nod to the excellent Jean Genie. However poor choice (and delivery) with the Rolling Stone's cover of Let's Spend The Night Together. Also think the production on things like Watch That Man are a bit dull.
Really good album. Early 70's Bowie is the best Bowie.

A mostly straight ahead rock album with tracks such as Watch That Man, Panic In Detroit, Cracked Actor, Lets Spend The Night Together, The Jean Genie some experimental with a touch of campiness. This is another essential Bowie album.
I keep changing my view on this album, sometimes I think it’s ok and other times I think it’s pretty good. Musicianship is very good,and their is a theatrical touch to some of the songs.

Ziggy in America! As Bowie himself told us. Bowie very influenced on this album by The Stones. Lady Grinning Soul is an underrated classic. Deserves more attention. Drive in Saturday and Jean Genie are great singles. Again Mick Ronson deserves a lot of credit for his contributions. A hugely enjoyable album with an iconic cover.
It lacks overall originality and attitude of his previous albums, still "Lady Grining Soul" is an underrated gem.

I'm a big Bowie fan and weirdly never paid attention to this album. Weirdly and wrongly! It has a mega rock sound! And Mike Garson killing it!
Also the production is great and the songs are well crafted.
