Pretty please.

It's new, that's for sure. It is indeed boxier. The text is smaller than I'm used to, too. I'm sure it's just a matter of tweaking things a little. What do you think of Quick Edit?

Think we need a new leaks thread. I would start one, but I feel like I should have something to contribute if I'm starting one...

P.S. Quick edit is pretty neat.

Yes, but then how will we get everyone's attention when something hot drops? There's little incentive to click on a generic leak thread. The specific subject lines let you know what you're in for and, I think, ease the process.

THE KNIFE ARE BACK FOR 2006

The Knife will return with a new album "Silent Shout" in March 2006. The first single, also called "Silent Shout" will be out digitally January 16th. A 12" with nice remixes will be released by the end of the month. The video is made by Andreas Nilsson who did the "Heartbeats" video and the visuals for The Knife's one and only live performance in London last year.

Getting it off the bird right now. The single certainly did strike my fancy. Seems like they've dropped the whole "pop sensibilities" thing. I hope the Swedes like their synth-pop dark and depressing.

Thanks.

That was spooky, I dodn't even read this thread until now.

I like this album. Not as in-your-face catchy as Deep Cuts, but very nice.

shit, 'neverland' is my new theme song. i absolutely get lost in this song, lyrics and all. doin' it for dollars for fancy men/ i've got a lot of money that burns my hand. the knife, i love thee.

what does everyone think of the album?

I really like it. It's quite dark and spacy, isn't it? "We Share Our Mother's Health," "Like a Pen," "Neverland," and "Marble House" are the standouts to me.

yes, exactly, a nice change from the previous stuff (though i loved that too). i'll be able to list the faves once my panties get off 'neverland' on repeat.

Giggity!*


*MV translation: This pleases me very much, seeing as how I enjoyed Deep Cuts, and I cannot wait to sample this album and listen to it for my own perusal. You have just made my day.

I have a Big Nife. Does that count?

After a full listen: well, I didn't really like the old one a whole either, so I guess I should have expected this. The potential singles are okay, but not nearly as good as those on Deep Cuts. No chance for top 50 albums, but other tracks besides the title track have a chance of top singles if released.

Cool album cover

Bump.

So has everyone forgotten this one already? This has grown on me a lot in the last month. I think I might like it more than Deep Cuts even. I love the sort of eerie vibe throughout the whole thing. I feel pretty comfortable saying that this will end up in my top ten for the year.

listened to this earlier today. not bad, but not great. i just don't get into stuff like this easily, so it will take some time. but yeah, not too shabby overall.

Album rules. Didn't even see this thread first time around whoops. Yeah, I like this a lot, I still like the Sparks record this year more though.

Any chance of a re-up? I've been waiting to hear this one for awhile. Deep Cuts was one of my favorites of 2003 and I'm hoping for the same in 2006 with Silent Shout.

Also, for those of you who are fans of The Knife's past work, how does this one line up?

S/T << Silent Shout < Hannah Med H OST <<< Deep Cuts

I might change my mind and switch the middle two, though. All four are great.

yeah reup this shit man

I too am clamouring for the new Knife album.....ysi anyone ?

Here it is again:


I'm liking it more every time.
Silent Shout and Forest Families are great.

it's alright; i've actually grown out of it pretty quickly.

"neverland" still rules though.

ding ding ding. same thoughts. well, "marble house" is phemonamlly sexy too.

i like the album, but it was an obsessive listen for that first leaked week and i haven't come back to it yet.

Thanks - big ups to the bigupload

This is rather spectacular. This year just keeps getting better and better.

i was about to reup, daniel beat me to it.

Slackmo, you're absolutely right. This year is amazing.

For breakups, though, this year is awful. Grandaddy, Sleater-Kinney... Sad.

But for new albums, goddamn!

yeah, he beat you to it by 3 and some months...

I'm liking the silent shout more and more but I dont know how much more I can get into this disc.

Still fantastic.

still am pretty sure i dont "get it"

Big Upload is not working for me...re-up on HughSendIt?

Yeah, that bigupload is deader than Pauly Shore's credibility. New y'all send the thang?

BotY

I'd really like to hear this too. I missed out. reup please?

I wish they hadn't covered that Jose Gonzalez song...

I keep getting a "file not available" message... anyone else having issues?

Other than individual songs from Deep Cuts, Silent Shout was the first that I'd heard from the Knife, and I love it. Just way cool sounding.

Finally being issued domestically on 7/25. Not that it should stop you freeloading downloaders.

:::A MESSAGE FROM THE ONE OF THE TECHNO GODS:::

I think people are blinded by this records good reviews. Although Silent Shout (the song) is really good, the whole album is just ok. I find myself not wanting to listen to it all, a few tracks here and there but not a straight through. The remixes are kinda good though. The remixes of silent shout were fairly ho-hum, the Shinedoe remix (totally revamping the song into nothing special) being the only one that was worth anything. But the Trentmoller remix of "we share our mothers health" is really good. Standard Trentmoller, really good liquidy house, but the use of the songs original melody is a huge plus as that melody sounds better with a 4/4 then with that freestylish beat the original mix has. In fact I'll just post the song right now, you can thank me whenever you get the chance.

We Share Our Mothers Health (Trentemoller Remix)

The Sword > The Knife

lololol

I haven't even read any reviews.

I just like the Knife, s'all.

Did either of you even download the remix?

Ok, so call me slow. But I picked up this today and am currently being blown away.

Best album I've heard this year, pity it wasn't last year.


You may proceed to lambast me on account of my negligence.

Whoa, flashback.

I know. Who knows what else I missed?

Ever heard of this disc, Boys and Girls in America?

Actually put this on for the first time in a while yesterday. Weird. Still a great record.

Yeah, the album is comfortable top 10 of the decade stuff for me.
