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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

More accessible than their big albums, an essential one in their discography.
You never expect an album to be this good this late into a band's career. Sonic Youth is never dull.
Dude ranch nurse and I love you golden blue are highlights. Nice late career entry
Underrated, not a weak track and an amazing album cover
First three songs are my favorites, as well as "Dude Ranch Nurse".
B+
Underrated album, in my opinion their best since Dirty. they continued to expand on what began in Murray Street, but added more structure and melody, even though it maintains a dark atmosphere for most of the record. Musically, this record will always be a landmark in my eyes, Sonic Youth after all those years they didn't skip a beat.
Favorite Tracks: Pattern Recognition, Unmade Bed, Stones, I Love You Golden Blue
Underrated album. My favorite from the 2000s. Pattern Recognition is great, and I Love You Golden Blue is probably one of the best songs in their last 20 years.
This is extremely underrated. Top 5 Sonic Youth album most definitely.
"Dude Ranch Nurse" is remarkable. Overall, I'm bored.
