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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.3/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

Love this track from a really great album.
Good but not great although it probably would have been great live during the Ziggy set at the gig. Energetic. Couple of hip lyrics in there - "This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place"
Reference to "Droogie" are the guys from A Clockwork Orange and he might have played the theme music from that film before his Ziggy shows.
Another definitive Bowie song, I love how perfectly it leads to Rock n Roll Suicide.

One of the all time best tracks.
Another awesome track on an awesome record :)
This might be my favorite Bowie song. The lyrics, the vocals, the guitar, everything just works. Pair this with "Ziggy Stardust" and you've got a winning combo

Incredible riff, strongly guitar with chorus that give the talk to Bowie, awesome short solo, and the piano rocks, one of the bests

This sure holds its own. Stands up to today's best pop songs.
