this is great ear candy. from what i have heard of the album i think it shows potential, but is no masterpiece by any means.

edit - of course i cant get the raw sound from the song "alice practice" out of my head. highlights = air war, alice practice, magic spells

Crimewave is my personal favourite.

I don't like the album because when I asked the HMV store clerk what song I was listening to in their speakers, he pointed at Crystal Castles. I bought the CD. The song was not a Crystal Castles song.

The only song I still listen to is Magic Spells.

Serves you right for going to HMV i guess....

I think they're very good
however, the album is not perfect.

Untrust Us and Alice Practice are my favorite tracks from them.

I rated excellent because I love these guys and their atari soundclips. Blast from the past every time I listen.

It think the album is kind of uneven but it has a lot of good songs on it. With a little editing and a little re-sequencing it could've been a five star album for me.

Very good, i rate this band. Seen them live and they were very engaging. The album isnt perfect, theres a couple of ropey songs and the tracklist could be better, but overall the pros outweigh the cons
