It is if you listen to the Knife.

anyone on an internet music forum is automatically a hipster, so that's kind of a moot criticism

Just about to dive into this, looking forward to it :tramp:

this album sucks and you all know it. you just are scared that maybe you don't understand it so you vote positively regardless.
It does suck. There's nothing to 'get'. Horrible, horrible album. It sucks, if you pretend to like it, you suck. See sense. Bad album.

Umm, yea, ok.

I'm not a huge fan, but I don't think people who like it are faking :/

Unfortunately my two favorite songs were the singles that came out early.

You won't be disappointed :thumb:

This album's made me check out the Knife's earlier work. I really like Deep Cuts now, and I'm about to check out Fever Ray. Anyone heard that solo record from the chick in the Knife?

What the f*ck do you guys like about this?!?!?!?!

Which part of the droney shi*ty noises and samplings of geese do you love so much?! Is it not possible that this album just sucks?


(it does)

For me personally, I'm a sucker for droney, experimental, ambient "what the **** am I listening too" kinda music. And also the Knife have really transformed their sounds each record they've put out which I really admire. To each his own I guess, but it seems to me you're in the minority who strongly dislike it.

It was okay. I liked Olof's solo work better. Check out "Oni Ayhun" and "OAR003" in particular

This is the only truth you speak.

You're entitled to your opinion, but don't pass it off as fact.

There are drony and long ambiant parts of the album that don't do it for me, but they certainly don't represent the whole album and as an entire piece of work I think it's pretty brilliant.
