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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.4/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

I feel like it's a great album for people who want a reflective album about misery but do not want to feel the same way in their own lives. Once you can accept the sadness in the world, then you can truly be happy. This album allows that to happen.

Slow, lifeless and not at all catchy. Also, the guy's voice is flat! Like really? You guys consider this to be "art"? 20 years from now these guys won't even matter. By far one of the worst albums of 1997.

A really good record, for sure. Mark Kozelek may be one of the best lyricists of his generations, and he's been proving it for years now. His voice is sad and honest, and his phrasing and melodic choices on this album often remind me of Morrissey. The songs are not particularly catchy, but somehow they get so engrossing after a couple of listens that it doesn't become a problem at all. But something else does, at least for me, and that's its length. I usually don't mind if an album is long, but there are a couple of tracks here who could've really used some editing out. But that's my only issue with Rollercoaster. Other than that, I think it's a brilliant, very moving and touching album. Mistress and Katy song are the highlights for me.

The leaves change colors to muted shades of orange, red and brown, eventually breaking loose and falling to the ground and returning to the earth. Autumn is my favorite season, as it feels like the perfect representation of who I am. Gone is the carefree fun of summer, but a colorful nostalgia remains. A sepia toned mix of emotions anticipating the impending doom of winter.

Not one, the worst album of 1997. They bore like a board of wood being hit on your head.
