It grew on me, I thought it was 'meh' the first time as well.
"Like a Pen", "We Share Our Mother's Health", and the title track are in my top ten synth-pop tracks of all time.

edit: I do see what you mean though. The vocals are all over the place, but I like them. She often reminds me of Bjork and Alison Shaw of The Cranes. The guy's vocals are.. cartoonish but I think the album is overall a lot more fun than Silent Shout.

I still haven't checked out Fever Ray, though with the praise she's getting here I probably should.
Also, I had always thought it was only the sister that does vocals, albeit very distorted sometimes-- are you sure the brother does vocals too?
edit: No, you're definitely right. He does the vocals too.
