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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Hail Satan!

Damn, if you listen to Neutral Milk Hotel or The Velvet Underground & Nico after this, they seem like top notch modern pop production audio quality in comparison.
Joking aside, I enjoyed this quite a lot. Low-Fi to its truest level possible. Sweet melodic guitar chords accompany very captivating story telling, and you don't need anything else. That's the beauty that this album holds. However, upon reaching the last few tracks, the style does get a little worn out.

One of those albums that you will feel nostalgic about even if you've never heard it before.

Considering that this a strictly lo-fi piece you can't help but admire its enormity. So much confessed, so many stories told.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Lo-Fi, folk comfort food. Mm...Food.

This album is proof of Darnielle's lyrical talent. With extremely poor sound quality, simple song structures, a voice that won't appeal to all and a mess of a concept, the album still stands up as completely amazing due almost entirely in part to the lyrics.
Personal thought only, but with the increase in fidelity and complexity of song structure (probably also including an improvement in vocal perfomance) in later albums, a great deal of intimacy was lost.
