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 82.6/100, a mean average of 82.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

This is such a great album and for me battles Ziggy for top spot. I remember going to a party in the 70's with that face design done in nail polish. Had to stop on the North Circular for petrol. Was agony to get off the nest day!
Good album, but not my favorite by him, there are some really good tracks like title track, Panic In Detroit, Time, The Jean Genie. But Let's Spend The Night Together is quite annoying.
First four tracks are great, then the album falls off a cliff for me. Not sure what all the fuss is about with Jean Genie. Highlights are the piano on the title track, and Watch That Man.

Not the most acclaimed album from his discography, but i prefer, by far, this kind of Bowie rather the Heroes one (tastes are tastes...). The title track i believe is one of the peaks of his whole discography.
a couple of toe tapers. after that? eh

Marco, tanto na imagem quanto no som. O mergulho de Ziggy na América.
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
