Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

The xx - Coexist: 3.5 stars
Honestly, I grade this personally at more of an honorable mention at best, but I bought it because Christgau gave it such a high A minus it was almost a full A. So I figure I'll keep it in physical since I already have it although note that I would not buy it today. Probably the first is all you need with this band. I will also try their third for good measure.
