Darker/Cut

Flux awarded Darker/Cut a nine out of ten and said "every track has a story and a meaning, and we have no fillers or dull moments" and that the album represents "an important page in the history of electronic music, showing different facets and graced by great artists."{{cite journal|first=Davide |last=Pappalardo |url=http://www.fluxwebzine.it/en/c-tec-darkercut/ |title=C-Tec: Darker/Cut |journal=Flux |date=October 3, 2018 |accessdate=8 September 2020}} Regen said Darker "has De Meyer's vocals, which are a hallmark of '80s era industrial, as well as Heal's own chainsaw of a voice, and blasts of heavily processed guitars" and "felt more experimental than the next album, Cut, which seems to shift musical styles more, as well as a greater employment of empty space throughout the album."{{cite journal|first=Douglas |last=Leach |url=https://regenmag.com/reviews/c-tec-darker-cut/ |title=C-Tec: Darker/Cut |journal=ReGen |date=October 5, 2018 |accessdate=8 September 2020}}
