One of Bowie's few albums that actually sounds "fun" from start to finish. Even the most forgettable cuts on Side B have a cool guitar solo or some punchy production to back 'em up, and that goes a long way for me compared to the forced "I'm an artiste111" schtick he had going on there for awhile.
In a bizarre way, Let's Dance remains one of his strongest overall outings, matched only by Low, his early 70's classics and (at the very end) Blackstar. Giving it a 5.
