It is a very unique track but I think the ones after are much better and I think Ethan's change of style away from video game noises was an improvement Nothing can replicate crimewave, Vanished, Knights, Untrust Us, Air war, and courtship dating. My favorite album is Amnesty because there is really no song that I don't like, I love them all equally. Edith is serving some real vocals on Char and Their Kindness Is Charade, these two songs are like my all time favorite songs. If I had to rank their albums it would be Amnesty, II, III and I. I hold II close to my heart because whenever I feel like a depressed piece of emo shit songs like Celestica, Suffocation and Violent Dreams really add that extra spice to my already existing bad mood so that's that lmao. Other songs like Baptism, Empathy, Doe Deer, etc just really slap in general. Great for pretending you're in a shitty goth club high on some shit a stranger slipped into your drink. III is probably one of their most cohesive albums so it just sounds nice in general cause everything is so well put together.Ĭrystal Castles I obviously has some real bangers like Crimewave and Untrust Us but I have no problem skipping the whole album because I have no personal connection to it. It's great for listening to in a background if you're just trying to chill, if you skip Alice Practice, XXZCUZX Me and Love and Caring cause they kinda go rough on your ears lmao. I'm glad Ethan grew out of this whole chiptune bleep bloop music, cause everything released after their debut just got better and better. It's easier to connect to and the atmosphere he's able to create with the last three albums is incredible and hits right in the feels. (II)- This is my favorite album ever! The best collection of songs. I play it repeatedly to his day and never tire of it!Ĭrystal Castles- The debut that really made me fall for the band. I love the nostalgia of using glitch sounds in their music and Alice’s raw vocals and energy really make this a standout debut.Īmnesty (I)- Excellent new addition after their four year hiatus. Edith Frances does a killer job taking over as the front woman and her vocals fit perfectly on many songs.
I do wish the album were longer and more cohesive but the final product is prodigious! I love Fleece, Char, Enth, Sadist, Concrete, and Kept. (III)- Their most cohesive album that flows elegantly. I love the sound they captured for this record. Focuses more on the softer side and doesn’t contain the really aggressive songs that drew me to heir music, and this is the album I visit the least. Still holds up well in their discography.Īll of this is my personal view. First heard cc in early 2017 and it took me a lot of time to hear all of them. I wanted to take my time with the lyrics and atmosphere before I moved on to the next track. Just started to listen to their unreleased stuff a few months ago after I was done with the rest.More experimental than the other albums.Only album which also has casual songs that don’t demand your attention as much (e.Alice’s yelping is annoying sometimes (e.Tracks get boring after listening to them too often (except Untrust Us).Feels least artsy compared to other albumsįlop Tracks I got tired of after a few times.
To be honest I find a lot of unreleased and remixed tracks that are not featured on the album better because they are more aggressive/ engaging. Especially Mother knows best (v1) and Trash the rental. Doe Deer, Baptism, Birds etc.)Ĭan’t think of anything negative right now. Maybe it’s hard for newcomers to adapt to some songs.
