From their second self-titled album by Crystal Castles.
Crystal Castles has been met with mostly positive reviews from critics. According to aggregator site Metacritic, the album currently holds an 80% rating. The most positive review came from Daniel Brockman of The Boston Phoenix, who praised the band for "having put aside the gimmicky Atari-melting antics of yore" and creating "a dense-yet-airy thicket of pure pop transcendence." MusicOMH also gave an extremely positive review, describing the album as "bold, dramatic, more than a little screwed-up and stunningly exciting statement."
The album is a longlisted nominee for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize
