Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Glass' voice reveals an underlying warmth, making Crystal Castles' cyborglike persona unexpectedly real.", 3 Stars Out of 5 -- "Crystal Castles Is Gloriously Danceable and Hopelessly Chic.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "With emotionally damaged disco songs that sound like Cher's 'Believe' infected with a virus, or full-on dancefloor tantrums...that see Alice Glass' distorted vox battling with crunchy sound effects.", "A genuinely innovative debut, which is likely to become a benchmark for the next electronic/punk experimenters.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "At its best, it makes for exhilarating listening, as on 'Crimewave' and the bleep-funk soundclash that drives 'Air War' and the unexpectedly tender 'Courtship Dating'.", "Songs like the synthed-out, electro-pop 'Good Time' or the Devo-esque, herky-jerk 'Through The Hosiery' prove that this duo is off to a great start."
Additional InformationOn their self-titled debut, Crystal Castles turn eight-bit bleeps, bloops, and noise into sometimes chaotic, sometimes moody synth pop with a jagged edge.
