    this album is angry, but i dont understand why people fckn in love with that. (I) and (III) much better than (II), but i love Celestica, Baptism, Not In Love, Doe Deer and Suffocation, that's all

    This album absolutely sucks compared to the first one. So horribly disappointed.

    It’s a middling album that managed to get the best of collective consciousness.

    The follow-up repeats the trick, scattering dreamy pop between industrial soundscapes. [July 2010, p. 129]

    The second Crystal Castles may not be as immediately and consistently satisfying as their debut, but it shows that the band has more to offer than just an immediately distinctive--and confining--sound.
