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 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

While this is in fact their second album, this is the first (of many) great album by Sloan in my mind. "Smeared" had a few great songs, but I don't think it was as good as a whole as this one. Sloan is an amazing band and the way each song correlates with the others, from one songwriter to another, has always impressed me so much. And you can definitely hear the cohesiveness of this band on "Twice Removed".
There are many standout tracks in here (Penpals, People Of The Sky, Coax Me, Shame Shame, Snowsuit Sound, Before I Do), but what's even more impressive is that the tracks that might be a little less shining on their own all fit well within the flow of the album. And that, my friends, is the sign of a great album.
Famous for being voted Canada's greatest album by Chart magazine two years after its release, this beauty still stands up as Sloan's best. Best tracks are "Penpals" (any English speaker who's lived overseas can testify to how perfect the lyrics are), "People of the Sky", "Coax Me", and "Before I Do".

Decent, but not their best. They hadn't quite mastered songcraft. There's some real moments of quality, but this is Sloan still in the gestational period. Go for Navy Blues and One Chord first.
Sloans best, not what Geffen records wanted but what did they know. Favs; Coax me, Hate my Generation, and People of the Sky
