You're forgetting about The Dance and how after The Dance everyone was singing Nicks praises. People were looking forward to this album because of The Dance and Sheryl Crow, and Courtney Love... RS gave TISL 3.5 only because of that. And many reviewers did NOT follow suit. If there had been no Dance, that album would of been panned.
And it got terrible word of mouth. I remember it well, because eventhough I didn't like the album, I tried to get others to and they did and didn't like it.
The album wasn't a total miss for me. It was a step up from some of the god-awful previous albums. This album is the real deal.
