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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

I haven't been a consistent Skinny Puppy fan so I'll refrain from talking too much about the band as a whole. I loved their first three albums, then gave Too Dark Park a listen and while I didn't hate it, I found it harder to get into.
Regardless, I love Bites. Without a doubt, this is my favorite Skinny Puppy album. Assimilate grabbed my attention right away with its almost alien sound and haunting, yet catchy tune.
I also love how this album has a lot of hard hitting songs like Assimilate or Blood on the Walls, but it's balanced with a lot of surprisingly quieter moments as well such as Film or the bonus track Love. It really gives the album a much-welcomed sense of atmosphere that is rare for a lot of industrial music.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
