 real artists don't rip off other artists September 12, 2008

this band is evidence that kids will eat up anything; totally untalented, and they have to steal from others? Make your own music, make your own artwork or else quit- obviously a creative field isn't right for these chumps.
 Brilliant, refreshing, and on the edge September 9, 2008

I'll confess at a first listen I was a bit disappointed with this album. A few cool on line samples drove me to buy the album, but even on 2-3 listens I thought the ablum was more instrumental than vocal, and not very melodic. It was probably the 4th listen that I realized there ARE vocals, they're just either buried in the mix, or heavily treated (vocoder, distortion, etc.), and the album actually is quite melodic - just more on a subtle level. It is very difficult these days to come up with anything new, and that's not always the most important thing with music anyway, but Crystal Castles bring a fresh and innovative sound and dare to take risks. The risks give this album a hard-edged indie feel that flirts with pop without selling out. If you like bands like Sneaker Pimps, The Faint or Miss Kittin & The Hacker you should check out this band for sure. Great album, I look forward to future releases by this band.
Very nice! July 28, 2008

Excellent album, not for everyone. Despite having a wide variety of style in their tracks, my boyfriend called it "The most irritating music he's ever heard". I personally find it very fun and fresh. If you can enjoy bass laden synth-y tracks often accompanied by very distorted vocals, give them a try.

This just seems like somebody capitalizing on the whole ironic Urban Outfitters 80's post glam thing. Certainly, dance music is repetitive by nature, but more can be done than this. I'm a sucker for atari-esque and 8bit tones, but I'm not falling for the leather jackets and neon colors motif. I guess it's kind of frightening when musicians get labeled as visionaries for being the first to rehash a bygone decade. It's fun and bouncy and not necessarily distinguishable from other fun bouncy pop electronica. Probably great music for your Miami Vice themed halloween party. eh.

I read that they are copying other bands left and right. This may be true, but even if they weren't, they certainly copy themselves from track to track. That may be even worse. Yawn.
