3rd studio album by Crystal Castles. All the band's three studio releases are simply just called Crystal Castles - for convenience labeled I, II, and III. The music is unchanged in regard to the previous release, and I think it would be nice with some development of some sort in their otherwise fine electroclash compositions. For a long time I found that this was a lesser release, especially compared to the band's 2010 release, but now I find that it's really a fine but also both complex and somewhat sinister album.
