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 80.0/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

I really enjoy the vocal work on this album and its outlandish nature has brought me back to this album many a time. The record peaks right at the start however with Do The Strand being the best track by far in my opinion and it always gets me in the mood to listen to this release. The rest of the album is good as well with notable songs such as Beauty Queen, Editions Of You and In Every Dream Home A Heartache being only slightly behind the opener. The style of music is very unique on here which makes for an engaging and enjoyable listen. Overall, a fun and diverse album that has some great performances but it does have room for improvement.
This album is very mixed, some great songs and a lot of mediocre ones.

A quantidade de arte que tem nesse álbum é incrível!
Another winner. The album artwork perfectly describes the tone. "Your skin is like vinyl, the perfect companion, I blew up you bod, but you blew my mind"
a bit shrill. glam rock? romantic rock?
I don't know about the previous comment... To me, the first 3 Roxy albums are 3 of the best albums I have ever heard.

Roxy Music sounds like a cross Supertramp and Sparks with a little bit of Brian Eno sprinkled in there (for obvious reasons), yet somehow they aren't nearly as good as any of those. Especially with Bryan Ferry's vocals. But For Your Pleasure has more good songs than bad, so it is definitely an album to return to once or twice.
Bryan's a good singer. Good mixed bag on this. Personal favorites: 'In Every Dream Home A Heartache' & 'Grey Lagoons'
An exemplary example of glam/art rock at its height, matched only by Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust
