New album has more... atmospheric tracks I guess you could say. They aren't ambient or anything, but the majority have more girth I guess...

The first post has a bunch of songs off the new album that will give you a better idea of what I'm trying to convey.


Huh...

Just listened to those, it's like they took away everything i thought made them interesting.

Baptism is crazy good. I love whatever synth/circuit bent whatever is used for the chorus.

I started listening to them far too late. I like them, because their music is good.

On a completely unrelated note, I'd go all types of crazy all up on Alice.

Let me just say, as a self-proclaimed hipster, y'all are fuckin' shallow.

take boss dd3 with the effects loop mod, set it to a short delay and put a chorus in the loop. gets close.. as does just putting a pog infront of a cranked amp.

i like playing crystal castles on my guitar

That's not unrelated....... she's a total fox.........

Personally I never really cared one way or another about them even though they were all anyone ever talks about in TO (which is why I never paid any attention because music magazines here download in their pants over the stupidest shit ever and I don't go to shows ever because shows are gay), but I remember my wife was watching Gossip Girl and that Crimewave track was playing in some bar they were in and I was surpised at how catchy it was...... I watched one of those videos posted on page one and it was pretty cool........ hmmmmmmm............

I can't believe I'm seeing a backlash about my Katy Perry watermelon phone avatar...... have you seen the chest on that foxy minx? It's absolutely sensational........ although her "music" is actually quite sub-par and her husband is a fucking daft twit........ that's british slang for you all.........

I normally don't think Katy Perry is very attractive, but something about that picture is :drool: Must be the watermelon. And Russel Brand is hilarious.

By "totally unrelated" I just meant that the fact that I think Alice Glass is sexy as all get out has no influence on the fact that I think their music is great. Especially her exasperated wails over crunchy glitched out techno-jumble which I'm assuming is what a lot of people dislike, but as they say...
