New album is really fun, not to mention high quality. Glitchy pop songs with lots of arcade game snippets and retro electronic sounds. Great to dance to or just to listen to on the headphones. Lots of layers of sounds, interesting vocals and tempo changes make for a unique and solid album.
that's not mind blowing, but it's good. I like the Nintendo-like songs, but i've heard other artists make that kind of music before. I'll probably want to listen their full-lenght
The new album is fantastic, save Magic Spells, I think it drags on for too long. But the album is very fun, very awesome.
I saw them last night live and they KILLED the show. So seeing them again. HEALTH also played before them, and a lot of people were turned off by their noise...I loved it though.
It pays to kill anyone who has information.

Love it! Favourites are Untrust us, Crimewave and Air War. Dangerously catchy I found this...I'm of the opinion it needs to be made the official video.

I'll just wait for my copy to arrive in the mail.
You're probably right. I doubt the two versions I downloaded are official. Nonetheless, these songs are amazing. It's hard to imagine how an electronica band could create someting so fresh and original, but these guys have done it.
I'm anxious for the official release so that I can hear what everyone else thinks of Crystal Castles.
If you want, I can upload one of the EPs from a couple years back. It's a bootleg that they made for a few songs which I got my hands on. It's got 7 short tracks but it's damn good (and most of them show up on the new album)

These are the songs that i've found and downloaded from these guys:
From "Thrash, Thrash, Thrash" which, unless i'm mistaken, is the title of their debut album slated for a March 18 release. I have no idea whether or not this track list represents the official track list or not. But as i've said, the songs are great.
01. alice practice 02. xxzxczx me 03. magic spells 04. dolls 05. air war 06. insecticon 07. no skin 08. d 09. love and caring 10. untrust us 11. bitter hearts
"Crimwave: Crystal Castles vs. Health", this collection of tracks is probably akin to the bootleg you've got Jglass. I know they collaborated with Health on the track "Crimewave", the rest of the tracks, I dunno.
01. 1983 02. Black Fag 03. Crimewave 04. Drink N' Fuck! 05. Rot 06. Rot-1 07. xxzxczx me
Thrash Thrash Thrash is a random torrent I've been seeing a lot lately (which is what I originally thought the debut was too, I have not been able to find any info on it) but the debut is s/t and the track listing is different.
The EP I have is the same plus a track called "Mother Knows Best", then I have a sampler that's "Untrust Us," "Crimewave," and "Alice Practice".
Originally posted by JGlass: I've realized that, but the "Thrash Thrash Thrash" track list is wrong... however a legit scene leak has surfaced of their s/t.
Ah, thanks for the update. I also noticed that the leak has a higher bitrate. I'll be snagging that one.
