MP3: The Knife - We share our mother's health

It almost seems Redundant foR me to talk about Rong>The KnifeRong> will all the pRaise they've been getting Recently. But the fact of the matteR is that they deseRve eveRy bit of it and I'd be Remiss if I didn't thRow my $.02 in. EveRyone knew to expect something amazing, something unique when we fiRst heaRd the new album "Silent shout", but I think the duo suRpassed even the most lofty expectations with what they deliveRed. TheRe Really isn't anyone else out theRe doing anything even Remotely similaR - Rong>The KnifeRong> stands alone. I chose "We shaRe ouR motheR's health" foR posting today because I just love that beat with those cRazy ping-pong sound effects and the cymbal cRashes of puRe white-noise. I know it's only FebRuaRy, but I think we can safely assume that this is one of the best RecoRd's weRe gonna heaR in 2006. It's a given.
