Aug 19, 2016Edith is awesome, the lyrics are really good, but the album lacks of something and i don't know what is. Anyways Char and Sadist are the highlights of the album. Keep doing amazing tracks Ethan and Edith.

Sep 1, 2016I'm not sure why the critic reviews are so lukewarm. This album is seriously such a treat to listen to. There's not a bad track on here and it flows together so well. The melodies, beats, and hooks are infectious. Amnesty (I) is certainly a welcome comeback from Crystal Castles, and a bit more accessible than their previous albums.

Aug 19, 2016This album is great. It made me like more Crystal Castles, since their first albums were.. 'harder' for me to listen, don't know why. This album is very sticky and funny. My favorites may be Char and Sadist, although most songs are very good.

Sep 24, 2016It is such a shame that half of the songs are just noise without a sense, they used to do awesome electronic/witch catchy songs. I found this album really disappointing.

Aug 19, 2016This album is an icon of intensity, emotions and rebelliousness. Ethan and Edith has change the perspective of CC's way of making music; however, it feels there is something missing from the previews forms of conveying their message by the sounds. The general panorama of the new CC's style is iffy, but innovative enough.

Aug 19, 2016All the songs have the potential to be the same level of excellence that was executed in their 3 previous albums, but now the songs just fall flat. Lackluster is an understatement to describe this album.

Aug 25, 2016Behind Alice Glass' ripped tights and makeup there was "a guy with a hoodie" in charge of everything -even her live vocals-. That's why Crystal Castles' vibe remains intact on this release. + new singer Edith can actually perform these tracks live...

Sep 23, 2018Amnesty (I) is a regeneration. It's exciting and incendiary and like all Crystal Castles albums - unsettling. No track outstays its welcome and there's no filler.
-
Aug 21, 2016This album proves that Ethan was always Crystal Castles from the very beginning. It has eclectic elements coming from the album II and III ... The album they wanted. Edith's voice compliments the aura perfectly in my opinion. Very well done.

Sep 13, 2016Sometimes, Kath will try to replicate the past with a house-oriented number like Frail, where Francis tries her best to replicate Glass’s contagious shrieking but without the same stage presence. In spite of this, Amnesty (I) isn’t afraid of glossing over its faults in hopes of trying out new things.

Sep 7, 2016The central dichotomous tension is blandly predictable (loud-quiet-loud-quiet), the songwriting occasionally sharp, but its political themes--like its vocalist--are lost in the fury.

Sep 7, 2016Even if Amnesty lacks some of the intensity of Crystal Castles' earlier work, it accomplishes the tricky task of providing common ground and a fresh start.
