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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Another excellent and mysterious album from Bill Callahan. As on the previous album it's predominantly acoustic and features some great songs with interesting structures. The sing, small plane, and, summer painter, are the pick of the tracks, at least in my opinion. I love the fact that Bill Callahan albums and songs are like puzzles that you have to work out, i always have a great time trying to solve them. Great stuff.

It's a pretty decent album. I've seen him touring this album and the guitar player is as amazing live as it is on record. Fav tracks: Javelin Unlandedand and Ride My Arrow
A beautifully layered folk album.

I don't know what I'm missing. Bill Callahan is one of my all time favorite songwriters, but I really think this album is just mediocre.

A journey into a warm and peaceful world. Very good album.
One of the most pleasant albums I've heard in a long time. I have only listened to one Smog album before I heard this album. Dream River reminds me of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter; it's the same jazzy/folky sleepy and comfortable sound, yet Bill Callahan has a universe of his own. Music don't have to be radical all the time, sometimes the best stuff is derived from formulas used hundred of times before. This folk sound is so rich is layers and musicality that you can't help but fall in love with the album.
A very fitting album title. The album glides along smoothly with eloquent lyrics and pleasant melodies.
