Crystal Castles

What's your opinion on Crystal Castles? I think Crystal Castles (2010) is their mangun opus as of yet. With the departure of Alice from the band my hopes have diminished, although Edith might be a pleasant surprise.

i've only listened to 1 and 2, but I really hated both. alice was the only reason anyone gave a shit about them, anyway

>mangun opus

Great fucking band who has a really original sound. Also were fantastic live.

Ethan was always the true talent behind CC. She was a beast live, but that was all she was good for.

Imo (II) was the pinnacle of their work. The perfect blend of the later witchouse stuff from (III) with the dance-y/chiptune stuff from (I). Plus it was abrasive and consistent all the way through. It's a close call between (I) and (II) though. (I) is just a bit overlong imo.

(III) is underrated but not on the level of the others.

Whatever they do I hope they don't stay in the iii style, but the post Alice songs make it seem like they will. Frankly I'm more excited about her album, though it could turn out complete shite.

This band got me back into electronic

ok but (III) is the best
also alice solo with be better than (IV)

>(III) is the best
I think you're incredibly wrong but I don't know how you make counter arguments about music.
>alice solo with be better than (IV)
What makes you think that?

saw them in 2009. alice did her classic drunk cunt impersonation the entire set but i was too young and excited to be seeing them to care. I don't find anything "bad" that happened to her to be a surprise.

anyway i think 3 is lowkey the best track for track album but stand out tracks on 1 and 2 are better song vs song than anything on 3

i think II is their magnum opos actually, very versatile album
