Customer Rating: 
Summary: Decadent bleep and chopped vox
Comment: Just got it and I like very much. The best songs on the disc are those that sound like no one else, are totally unique to Crystal Castles, when the band has crafted their own sound. My favorites combine this unique quality with the best beats, decadent bleep, and chopped vox, and hence songs like Air War, Courtship Dating, Love and Caring, Through the Hosiery, and Knights are my initial favorites. Actually, Courtship Dating and Through the Hosiery are stunning.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent.
Comment: I'm already going to claim this album of the year, though that is sure to change at some point.
Since purchasing this record, I have not been able to put it down! Know that it is definitely not for everybody... some people won't be able to stand the weird assembly of glitchy atari sounds, but it is done in such a seamless way... and it becomes reminiscent of driving at night to some underground discotheque in Europe.
Ethan and Alice are the duo behind CC, and they do not disappoint. Alice's voice mimics that of "cute little girl tries to scream and sing on garage record (a la. CSS)" but I find her voice to be very appropriate, however it may be interpreted. Sometimes screaming, sometimes lulling... and the same goes for the music. Sometimes overwhelming, often soothing.
A definite buy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's great
Comment: If you like electronic music but have been a bit disappointed with what has been coming out the past couple years, buy this. Plus, unlike some electronica stuff (which can get very grating over time), it grows on you with repeated listenings.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Electronic/Dance/Noise Music
Comment: This album is incredible. It's like a blend of M83, Daft Punk, and Röyksopp.
The songs range from mellow, soothing synths to noisy electronic compositions with harsh vocals. This music just pumps me up every time I listen to it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: More solid beats than experiments
Comment: - House drum patterns throughout
- Ranges from happy electro to punkish glitch to introspective house
- Strong 80's dance pulse
- Very pleasant form of bleep-bloop music w/o much ugly noise
- Like a more human / DIY version of The Knife
- Experimental compared to most indie-pop, but very poppy compared to most noise groups
