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 70.4/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Liked this more on another (third) listen. Didn't find it quite as bland as before. Though it might just be a consequence of listening to "Kill for Love" beforehand.
Anyway.. I still don't think it's anywhere near their debut. The sound is there though, and I do think there are tracks here, which build on that atmosphere to create something that is catchy/easy to listen while remaining very toned down, "chill", almost ambient. Swept Away and Try are two like that. Our Song is very interesting too. (Edited)

The whole theme and storyline is a bit played out but this album still holds a place in my heart, I remember it as a very emotional teen still in the throes of puberty and the peak of insecurity. Funny, but true, and this was also somewhat a little bit of a window into the indie world for me. (Edited)
A solid follow-up to "xx", but strips the minimalist sound back further, and as result this sounds a bit like a band heavily influenced by the xx's debut.
Album number three will be a big one... top tier newcomers or one trick pony?
Coexist is a refinement of the formula developed in the xx's self-titled debut. While having fewer catchy tunes than the debut, it provides a more complete album experience. Suggested listening mode: lying down, headphones on, eyes closed, mind cleared.
