Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Special Edition two disc (CD + PAL DVD) pressing of the 2005 album from this Swedish brother/sister duo including a bonus DVD featuring videos and other multimedia fun. The Knife have an appetite for bright, quirky electro-pop and unabashed emotions. The result is Deep Cuts, a colorful album that makes up for an absence in subtlety with an immediacy that should surely reap some commercial rewards. The formula pays dividends on 'Heartbeats' where Karin's vocals are exuberant whilst Olof's synths are brimming with the echo of late 80's disco pop. Brille. 2006. **Please note that you will need an All Region Code player to view the DVD. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as Silent Shout but still worth listening, March 8, 2007

By	snowtea - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your mind will be reshaped, April 10, 2007

By	M. Jamroszczyk (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars electro-awesome., November 12, 2008

By	L. Tereshko - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
