Best Album I've heard in a long time. (II) is the highlight of 2010 music for me so far, there's some discussion going on in the Electronic music section too.

Highlights of (I) for me would have to be Untrust Us, Alice Practise, Crimewave, Courtship Dating, Loving And Caring, Black Panther.

Not as good as their other self-titled or "Thrash Thrash Thrash" but still a damn interesting album.

Really love Crystal Castles, the guys such a talented producer. He is so creative with the ways he uses Alice's voice as well! Voted Excellent!

honestly I loved every part of this album, I agree with everyone that by no means is it the best thing ever, but I have to say it is about exactly on par with their other releases, no loss or gain really I look at their work as just a collective rather than individual albums, which is a luxery I don't get with most artists but after hearing both self-titled albums I have to say this is the most polarizing band ever, you either REALLY love em or REALLY hate em.

took me a while to warm up to em but after hearing the slower stuff (celestica) and the many catchy songs (pap smear) along with the more abrasive stuff-that you can tell is where alice gets her kicks (Alice Practice)-I warmed up to them more.

so all in all I love their work and I hope they get all the respect and success they deserve (which they have in canada and the UK after alice's little stunt at glastonbury 2008)

Well, they're pretty popular amoung the Pitchfork set but Crystal Castles are hardly radio friendly.......

well I can see pap smear and celestica being on the radio really easily, pap smear especially that song is just something to jam to. Alice Practice though...yea I agree, you gotta be into that type of music, gladly I am

Really awesome band, totally agree that they are either love or hate though. For a good while I was obsessed with Courtship Dating from I, Baptism and Empathy are my faves from II

They along with MSTRKRFT are a big reason why I am proud of my hometown Toronto's music scene.. but it is awesome in so many ways

I really wish I could hijack KISS FM and play a Crystal Castles song. (Prolly "Courtship Dating" cuz thats the Crystal Castles song I have the biggest boner for.) Wonder what would happen.
