Conversely, several critics felt that "Experiment Number Six" did not fit with the overall mood of the album. Wysel called it a "pool of darkness" that "comes as quite a shock." Dahlen felt that the song "is the only break in the mood." While he enjoyed the song's concept, calling it "so different and sinister that it's more intriguing than the rest of the album", he felt that it was "annoyingly displaced." Hermann, on the other hand, called the track "clever" and "spooky" with "music ... so well crafted that [the concept works".
