Pitchfork wrote: “Ditching the springy Europop of 2004’s Deep Cuts, Sweden’s the Knife here pits dark, ghostly electro backdrops against elastic vocals, which they mash through a wringer of digital manipulation. A far cry from the duo’s friendly first singles, Silent Shout gorily births the Knife’s mutant twin. The result is creepy enough to warrant its own genre: haunted house.
Silent Shout inspires similar imagination and pushing outwards; after all, no matter how heady and interior electronic music allows itself to become, it could never get as scary as the world outside. ”
