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 82.7/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I remember the first time I listened to this I was shocked at the heavy rock & 50s vibes I got from it. Has become more interesting and better over time. Amazing!
Super fun album, fits Bowie to the teeth. Still think it is lightly overrated, but I understand the appeal.
Real sold album but just kind of missing something, not sure what it is. Certainly doesn't stack up with the rest of Bowie's work from the 70s.
Best song(s): Aladdin Sane; Drive in Saturday; Time; Jean Genie
My favorite Bowie. Highly under rated. Personal opinion but I prefer the more up tempo tracks on offer like 'Watch that Man' & 'Panic in Detroit'. Fantastic flow throughout. Masterpiece from start to finish

The Jean Genie Strikes again! Rating (79.50)
Some excellent tracks : Panic in Detriot, Aladdin Sane, Drive in Saturday but also a terrible version of Let's Spend the Night together and more too much 50s retread as in the Prettiest Star. Good album but no Ziggy.
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.
