Oscar Hjelmstedt.The Sinister Sounds of Soft Cell: More Than One-Hit Wonders(англ.). The Culture Point. Medium (4 декабря 2016). — «For a band that was so overlooked, Soft Cell have inspired a wide variety of artists and bands, one of the most prominent ones being Nine Inch Nails. Frontman Trent Reznor has spoken time and again about the band’s influence on him. Landmarks such as the debut Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral just wouldn’t sound the same if it hadn’t been for Almond’s lyrics and Ball’s synth assault. Even the opening track on The Downward Spiral takes its name from the Soft Cell song “Mr. Self Destruct”.» Дата обращения: 9 января 2018. Архивировано 9 января 2018 года.
Radio One Rock Show hosted by Trent Reznor.(англ.) (5 апреля 2005). — «[...] Something that uh, always just seemed like a cool sounding record to me, I've always thought Marc Almond is a genius, and um, Soft Cell, I thought... I mean, they've been quite a big influence to me: just the tone, the way he could describe a situation that seemed desperate but vulnerable, and incredibly... seedy. He's unmatched. I really like the records towards the end of the band's lifespan, like um, "The Art of Falling Apart", that was a great sound of a band going crazy, kind of sound to me, and I've always thought Marc was a great guy, and it was sad to hear about his accident a while ago and I wish him the best.» Дата обращения: 24 августа 2017.
