Crystal Castles

[Tigger Please!]

just got tix to see them at the metro in sydney in february, the day after laneway. so pumped, i think i'm in love with alice glass. anyone else gonna see them in oz?

 

[themuddy#3]

Id get on that

not sure how they would go live, only ever seen them lip synching

Definetly decent dance trance whatever the **** it is called nowadays.

Airwars and Alice Practice are my faves...

 

[anti.]

yeah im going, im a fan but not a massive one. the album was poorly put together in my opinion. too many songs, too many weak songs.

if they cut it to about 10 tracks it would've been killer. crimewave, airwars, courtship date are probably my pick of the tracks.

anyone here like health? one of the best bands going around at the moment.

because the name resembles the thread title

Been listening to their first album a lot lately. Air War, Alice Practice, Untrust Us and Crimewave are superb. Yet to get their new album (gets an 8.8 on pitchfork).

 

[La Dispute]

First album was fairly intense.

Second hasn't really grabbed me yet.

2nd album is shit for the most part...there's a couple of good tunes, but most of it is pretty much just the same shit they've done over and over.

i dont think it's worth your time.

This.

Same sound, same beats. Very similar.

I thought the new one sounded different, a bit darker, perhaps the music is more "cluttered", and the songs are more varied. Buts that only on a couple of listens.

Top band

Agree with the general thoughts in the thread. First album was heaps better than the second.

really???

i though the 2nd was far superior to the first, so much darker and just more of a massive sound

 

[omit]

it's somewhat comforting to know that they're not the only band to suffer from second album syndrome

Agreed.

 

[Suspense]

Intimate and Doe Deer are cool tunes, but the rest of the album is a bit boring/shit.

 

[Divado]

Not a huge fan of these guys but this is an absolute tune, will be huge. Mostly due to the vocals.
