( Motel De Moka ) “The Knife are the hope of the future. Artists, writers, creeps, and ghouls. Fun and dark, like a clown getting stabbed, The Knife made everyone listen and the remixes doubled what was already amazing.” ( Cobain In Coma ) “Swedish weirdos combine eerie synths and freakish vocals to produce a beautifully primal dreamscape that?s vicious, haunting and utopian.” ( explondingNOW!!! ) “Silent Shout works best when listened as an album due to the consistent themes of darkness (accentuated by the cover art), similar synth sounds and Dreijer’s threaded narrative. The result is a rare achievement in dance music, an intelligent album of beauty and intrigue.” ( nialler9 ) “The throbbing nature of Silent Shout comes off freely, establishing the album as one of great variety and passion.” ( Obscure Sound ) [...] […] “…with this album the knife have found their trademark sound making their music immensily creepier but, ironically, at the same time more beautiful drawing the listener completely into the twisted little world they’ve created.
