This is growing on me hard the last few listens.

I liked The Next Day. Ignoring the hype, I assume this would be great too. I have yet to hear his entire back catalogue.

Because the community is too elitist to give albums a rate higher than a 4 these days or because an album gets a super high avg just because of the death of his creator?

I do think the death of Bowie makes this record a lot more significant in terms of what's on it and not just purely from context.
From my first listens I already thought this thing was excellent musically, but after the whole event what I thought were really opaque lyrics have suddenly become striking, but also fascinating on a thematic level, especially because there is still undecipherable mysticism aplenty.

Bowie did like in Outside: Art with his dead body.

Agreed, but its not just rated high because it was his last album and he died suddenly after its release; its because the album is an explicit sonic representation of his death, done with near immaculate precision. He created an album in the midst of dying that is about his death, and it turns out to be a magnificent and energetic expression of that. I can't think of anyone else whose done such an ambitious artistic move and succeeded so effortlessly; its literally monk-like. Like a great magician, he puts out this album and it initially conveys a vague darkness, only to pass away for the final act, in turn revealing, as was always intended, a marvelous act of artistic innovation and meticulous timing, the likes of which have never been seen before. Even without any bias, that's fucking incredible, if you ask me.

one helluva swansong

So how good of an introductory album is this for someone who's never really listened to him before?

Not really at all. Jam Hunky Dory.

The glam era is his best starting point. Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory are his most accesible albums
