  1. A hideous mess of electro noodling and maddeningly obtuse, tuneless vocals. [May 2006, p.126]

  1. Well people from Q certainly have reason to feel like fools because 7 years later it's quite obvious that Silent Shout is modern masterpiece and one of very best albums of whole decade. Full Review »
  2. This album is absolutely fantastic - the etheral darkness of it suits the jagged hookiness of the synths and to be honest, I think the vocals add to the otherworldlybe more than they do distract! Full Review »
