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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.1.

I'm not familiar with other yo la tengo records so can only comment on this one but I have been playing this in the car traveling to work. Like another review says it never blows my mind but it's never shit either it's pretty solid 7/10 all the way through and I've yet to get bored of it even after a good ten or so listens
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed 'This Stupid World', particularly the strong start and Krautrock influences. It may sound a little flat mix wise, but is the strongest release from Yo La Tengo in recent memory.
82/100
The "Krautrock" inspiration that Yo La Tengo adopts on their latest project is a really interesting aspect and asset.
This album symbolizes imperfection, it's efficient when it's simple, intriguing and fascinating when it gets lost, it's never marvellous but it remains very charming. In any case, it's been a long time since the band made such a good LP
