Nov 16, 2012III is consistent, cohesive and tight. There is no late album tail-off here - no filler. Perfectly paced and sequenced and very, very affecting. Full of insidious pop hooks and dark, unbalanced instrumentation, lyrics and ideas. No one else does this sort of music as well, and CC have never done it better than here.

Sep 21, 2015This album is darker than the previous albums, and definitely my favorite of CC! I love all the songs and the sounds are very different, and here the songs have (a bit) more lyrics than in II and I. I love Sad Eyes, Plague, Kerosene, Insulin.. beautiful album.

Jun 18, 2017Crystal Castles is one of my favorite music duos. I really like this album, and like CC II is very smart to me that they really know how to use these genre of music

Nov 15, 2012As a long time fan of CC, I'd say that this album is ultimately satisfying. The variety of the songs is refreshing, and some are especially wonderful. The only downfall is that none of the songs are spectacular, like was evident in previous works (Alice Practice, Not In Love, etc). Standouts are: Plague, Insulin, Affection, Violent Youth and Telepath.

MojoDec 17, 2012The dozen songs, recorded in one take, make for an uncomfortable but absorbing trip. [Jan 2013, p.92]

Dec 17, 2012A quantum leap it ain't--and Glass could do with putting her fangs back in--but (III) has just enough up its sleeve to keep Crystal Castles on track.

Q MagazineDec 11, 2012[Glass's] lyrics are often buried in the mix, but no amount of production occultation can hide the fact that the likes of Plague are excelsior anthems for the End Times. [Jan 2013, p.103]
