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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Hadn't listened to this in over a decade. Still goes. Tasteful, vibrant production. Lovely, soulful songwriting and performances. Was always gonna be tough to top. (Edited)
This album really shocked me when I first heard it and I instantly loved it. The instrumentation is fantastic with the guitars being so diverse and unique on every track and they sometimes completely take control on some cuts. Also, the vocal performance is brilliant and full of emotion and power. It fits the atmosphere and the sound of the record perfectly and makes for a thoroughly enjoyable listen. Every song is great and they all fit together so well to create a cohesive and thrilling record. However, there are some parts of songs that do feel a bit short on substance and you can't help thinking they could be trimmed down. Overall, this album really flies under the radar and is an incredibly under rated record that you should definitely listen too as it is fantastic. (Edited)

So definitive for them. There's so much to hear if you don't just dismiss as a heavy nostalgic. (Edited)

Kinda sounds like Elliott Smith joined a late 60's band, helping alleviate his depression, if only slightly.
Love like a River is very similar to Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles don't you think?
