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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.5/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Sonic Youth return to their avant garde roots. Probably their most odd sounding album.
Sonic Youth never made a bad album. This isn't as bad as people say. But it is unusual even for them
Not enough people talk about Nevermind (What Was It Anyway). It’s the best song on a fantastic album. This album may be too experimental for some people, but for me it’s a solid 9/10.
While this isn't Sonic Youth's worst album, it's not their best. I wouldn't really recommend this album to anyone; spare a few tracks it's a total bore.
Free City Rhymes and the Title track are probably the two standout tracks, and the two most worthwhile
Good album!
Favorite tracks: Free City Rhymes, Small Flowers Crack Concrete, NYC Ghosts & Flowers

Not my favourite. I forgot about it too easily...
Sonic Youth never fail to deliver. I love this band and I love this album.
