It’s interesting how different mine is

A lot of people don't like Handover, and I don't know if its because they honestly don't like it, or because it's not on spotify

I don't use Spotify. I honestly don't like it.

Fair enough. I was actually the same for a long time. When I got back into doing DJ streams during quarantine I found a lot of songs on that album fit well with the cerebral hardcore and trippier drum'n'bass stuff I was playing, and any excuse to get SP in a mix I'll take.
2
I can see some use cases for it. I think overall the album is anemic. There are songs I definitely like on it, but it felt like a letdown as a follow-up to mythmaker, "quiet" for SP, and historical evidence from the time points to SP literally needing to hand over a record to get out of a contract, and I think there's behind the scenes bitterness that reflects in the record itself. It is the absolute outlier of post-Dwayne SP.

Aw really Bites and Vivisectvi are B tier? They're top tier skinny puppy to me but everyone has different tastes. Its understandable.

Bites is great, just not as great to me as the S or A tier which see more rotation for me.
VIVIsect VI is a good album but the mix is poor and half of it I never cared much for.
My tier rankings are pretty harsh admittedly and I'm ranking them only within the context of SP. Handover being a D doesn't necessarily mean I think it's a D in terms of any album ever being rated.
My higher tiers may be questionable but are tighter albums in terms of less filler.
SP is unique, and their albums are unique from one another. I think if other people put a tier list here you'd see wildly different results.

Will swap most of the B (everything pre 00s) with S, and all of the A would move to D, imo.

I just looked online to see where SP has been (I am in a deep dive after discovering SP in addiction, got sober in 2015 and here I am ready to fully discover the greatness) I read an article an hour ago claiming Rabies was not adored by fans. Yet, so far it is my most beloved SP record!

It seems to me like the band themselves don’t like it but everyone else does
2
The direction it took is not universally "adored" but there's generally universal consensus on "Rodent", "Worlock", "Tin Omen" and "Choralone" as being classic additions to the catalog.
