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 26% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

Seriously kicks ass not gonna lie. Very exciting return. Singles were great but man couple of those deep cuts are even better. Highly recommend playing it loud to fully experience the awesomeness of the sick AF killer beats. Oof! I'm being ridiculous because I'm excited plus it's just really good and yes those beats surprised me at times like heck yeah!

Let’s be honest, YYY’s previous album ‘Mosquito’ was simply awful and as a long time fan it really came as quite the shock. Seemingly Karen O thinks the same as me with said album not available on any streaming service as part of their catalogue. I thought that was the end
But the YYY’s are indeed back in 22 and whilst not at the very tip top of form pretty close with what is really an extended EP thats short but oh so sweet
‘Mosquito’ ? Look away nothing to see here
As a side note track 4 “Fleez” is a complete rip off of “! (The Song Formally Known As)” by Australian band Regurgitator. Listen for yourself I know I’m right

A welcome return, and one of the group's best. Enormous and world-weary, while still breaking out the swagger that made the band so thrilling in the first place when they want to.
A very exciting return from this veteran band that I agree with the previous comment sounds best when played at maximum volume !!!

I’m a late comer to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I decided to play this one in conjunction with Fever to Tell. I have to say that this album impressed me far more. There’s a maturity or evolution to the sound, especially in the vocals, that makes it a more enjoyable listen. Fever to Tell has a raw edge to to it and a punk feel that might appeal to the youth at the time of its release but it has lost something along the way to appeal to a new listener.
Spitting off the Edge of the World is a cracking opener too.
