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 65.6/100, a mean average of 64.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Well it had to happen eventually. After releasing three really good albums, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have finally released a mediocre album. “Mosquito" feels disjointed and, honestly, kind of boring, which is the exact opposite of what you’d expect from a Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. They’ve built they’re careers on exciting, loud, energetic music, and this just sounds pretty uninspiring. There’s moments, the lead single “Sacrilege" is really solid, and there’s moments here and there, but generally speaking, this album is nothing too spectacular. Every good band has a mediocre album every now and then, it’s bound to happen, and it happened here with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Okay at best, definitely not as good as they can do

I feel quite a bit more enthusiastic about this album than most of the reviews and comments that I've seen both here and elsewhere, which tend to characterize it as unfocused and, perhaps even more deadly, uncool. I guess that's the price a band pays for being as unimpeachably hip as they were on previous releases such as Fever to Tell and Show Your Bones. I think, though, that the hipsters aren't giving full credit to what a great, amped-up song "Sacrilege" is; I rate it among their best. And the title track is vintage Yeah Yeah Yeahs--maybe a little more literal than usual, but also grating in that satisfying way that only Karen O and company know how to be.

Fortunately for me I read the Pitchfork review of this before I had a chance to listen to it. As a result my expectations were absurdly low going in. I think we can all face the fact that Yeah Yeah Yeahs probably won't ever top their self titled EP or Fever to Tell, but this wasn't a bad record. If nothing else it was nice to hear something new from this crew after four years.
This album is just nowhere near as good as the 3 prior studio efforts from Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The hooks and the lyrics just are nowhere near as catchy or interesting as prior efforts. I think there are 3 worthy songs on the album, namely: Sacrilege, Subway, and Buried Alive (with a rapper named Doctor Octagon, who I am otherwise unfamiliar with). The rest of the songs could be passed over.
