It's easy to find this music enthralling. The way it affects your senses, your mood, is completely different from anything you'll experience any time soon. The Knife is completely original.

While some tracks, like "The Cop," are too strange for my liking, tracks like "Heartbeats" and "Rock Classics" and of course the youtube hit "Pass This On" will truly stick with you. You never want to press skip on those.

I hope this helps.

To me, this is what pop should sound like nowadays. I really can not not sing along. I can not not move. Even if it's just the tip of my toes, if I'm listening to this, then I'm definitely thinking about dancing. And yet, the lyrics can deal with very non-pop subjects, or at least with a non-pop approach. If, like me, you like to play music loud because you like how the beat and the bass make your chest cage vibrate, get this album. If you too think that synthesizers and vocoders are the instruments that most appropriately fit our digital times, get this album. If you like to be surprised by how things can be hot and cold at the same time, freaking get this album!

When I listen to the Knife, this album or any album, I cant help but think that this is the coolest band I have heard for many years. Its the one band that no one I know has heard of, and the one band that I recommend to eclectic music lovers without any hesitation. At first, it may take a while to really get into, but it deserves two good listens, all the way through. After that, there is no turning back :)

The Knife are awesome.
Deep Cuts is an amazing album.
Its kind of an acquired taste ... but gets better with every listen!
Full of irony - I love what they stand for as a band.

I highly recommend it!
"You Make Me Like Charity" became one of my favorite songs.

The only criticism I have are of the remixes at the end ... but I'm not a fan of remixes in general.

The Knife are great, I love them. But there are really only 4 good songs on this particular album (Heartbeats, You Take My Breath Away to name two). Quite disappointing. You're better off buying a few of the individual MP3 songs for a buck each. The rest of the songs are just "fillers". Deep Cuts is not as good as a whole as their other albums. So, save a few bucks!

Nothing beats Silent Shout (an album with no bad tracks in my opinion and one of my favorite albums ever), but there are some great cuts on this album (Heartbeats, 3 remixes of tracks, You Make Me Like Charity, The Bridge). Deep Cuts is a bit more poppy and not nearly as refined as Silent Shout. Definitely worth buying though if you're a fan of The Knife. Do anything you can to see them live.

I discovered The Knife a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. They have great lyrics set to good music. You can't go wrong

All aroung go techno album. There are about 3 or 4 tracks that are questionable, kind of lude nonsensical ones.

I loved two songs on this CD and pretty much can't stand the rest. Maybe its an acquired taste. I wish I would have gotten this CD free from a friend, then I wouldn't feel so salty about forking over my cash for something that's not so hot. BEWARE!

Deep Cuts~ The Knife is a great album filled with well-produced electronic music. They sound like a mix of early 80's minimal synth-music like early human league and mix this up with sounding like Goldfrapp and other more modern synth bands. The lyrics are ok but one will never confuse the knife with great lyricists such as Martin Gore or Marian Gold. I love the sounds and they seem to have been picked by hand since every sound is just right for the track. The cover-art ( if you now can call it art, I have my doubts) is terrible and looks like a failed high-school project. The photo is terrible and the font is way to small and some of the colors make it even harder to read. Even so this is a great album and it definetely deserves its 4 stars. I highly recommend this album.
