Crystal Castles- Self-Titled Review

Listen: http://bit.ly/citaiZ / http://bit.ly/9TiLHI / http://bit.ly/a2GPEB

Crystal Castles latest album isn't exactly a reinvention of the electronic duo. I can't say they've gone v2.0 on us. Maybe it's more like a v1.4. Many of the tracks sound similar to those on the first album, but the ones that don't are more than interesting. For the most part, the album is a pretty chilly, reserved experience, saving most of its aggression for the track "Doe Deer." Not amazing, but a somewhat decent followup to the first album, which I freaking went gaga over the first time I heard it.

What did you think of this album? Love It? Hate it? Why?

7/10

Everytime I hear the sample in the opening of Vietnam, my heart jizzes a little bit.

Fuck you, Fainting Spells and Birds were awesome

Celestica is one of my favorite songs of the decade

[Greendogo]

Loved them both. I lost the CD to CC1, so sad... But hey, look, SOPA didn't pass!

[Alianger]

hate it and them, just a more conventional and shallow take on the electro clash, chip tunes and new wave stuff I love.

@OdeToNecrophilia well, when you're depressed, it's a release

[NightRanger77]

Did you say SIG-ur? lol

[TheFurthur]

i love this fucking album.

[TheEloeo]

There are few pretty standard techno/pop tracks, but besides that, the album is great.

[The5thFlamingDart]

What about pap smear. The best song on the album in my opinion. This album is a legend to me. It sounds very mystic contrary to the first album.
