The Knife (2013)

9.0/ 10

“On the Knife's latest full-length, the Swedish electronic music duo goes absolutely insane with a 98 minute album that features a ton of long, linear art pop tracks that overload the senses and challenge expectations.”

Favorite tracks: A TOOTH FOR AN EYE, FULL OF FIRE, WITHOUT YOU MY LIFE WOULD BE BORING, WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME, RAGING LUNG, NETWORKING, STAY OUT HERE, FRAKING FLUID INJECTION

Least favorite track: ORYX

The Knife's first album in seven years is the Swedish duo's most political, ambitious, accomplished album, but in a strange way it also feels like its most personal, a musical manifesto advocating for a better, fairer, weirder world.
