Niklas Forsberg of
Release Magazine awarded the album six out of ten, describing the music as "almost exclusively overdone in the sense that the aggressiveness became too dominant" and saying "the one thing making me give
"Cut" a grade above average is due to the participation of veteran, almost
cult declared artist
Jean-Luc De Meyer." Regen said "In many ways,
Cut is an improvement on
Darker – the production is cleaner and has a more modern sheen" and "the palette of sound is more consistent, making it a more cohesive album." The critic went on to claim "it also feels like it plays it, if not safe, at least safer, leaning more toward traditional
industrial sounds and beats... but a really solid version of those sounds." == Track listing ==
