Posted October 10, 201410 yr http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/content/7_Crystal%20Castles%20Portraits-2.jpg Seems an appropriate time to rate this solid discography. Usual rules of one 11 and one -1 (not expecting to see any of these though..) allowed per album blah blah. Have just included the albums plus the Robert Smith version of 'Not in Love' – any more people want to add? xx Untrust Us xx Alice Practice xx Crimewave xx Magic Spells xx Xxzxcuzx Me xx Air War xx Courtship Dating xx Good Time xx 1991 xx Vanished xx Knights xx Love and Caring xx Through the Hosiery xx Reckless xx Black Panther xx Tell Me What to Swallow http://www3.alibris-static.com/cover/n87341o1l0z.jpg xx Fainting Spells xx Celestica xx Doe Deer xx Baptism xx Year of Silence xx Empathy xx Suffocation xx Violent Dreams xx Vietnam xx Birds xx Pap Smear xx Not in Love xx Intimate xx I Am Made of Chalk xx Not in Love (feat.

October 10, 201410 yr I have to listen to I more. Never got into it at the time although listened to II this afternoon and still sounds great.
October 10, 201410 yr Author Yes Tony, you definitely need to listen to III if you haven't yet! It's actually my favourite of the three, although there's not much to separate them as they're all great. I'd say it's III>I>II for me but that seems so wrong as I love II!
October 10, 201410 yr I think I'll give all of the albums a listen before I rate because a few songs are not as fresh in my memory as the others.
October 13, 201410 yr Relistening to the entire discography in one sit made me feel so stupidly emotional that Ethan + Alice are no more and we probably won't get anything as perfect as this from either of them separately. :(

October 13, 201410 yr legit think my rate is gonna be identical to pavel's lol. will have a cc day tomo and then vote 💟💖💟 (can't even rank them tho. think iii is my fav but then what about ii? AND I?? nope can't bye)
October 13, 201410 yr (can't even rank them tho. think iii is my fav but then what about ii? AND I?? nope can't bye) omg S A M E i'd rather listen to Cheryl's discography than decide on whether I prefer I to II or the other way round.
October 13, 201410 yr I think you should go for the one that you heard first, then. Extra points for nostalgia :P. I love I and II equally, but it was II that got me into CC :wub:

October 21, 201410 yr Considering only two rates have been posted over the span of like 10 days, I think you're safe for at least a couple of weeks.
October 22, 201410 yr Author haha yeah I'll leave it going for a while, I need to do mine too. Aiming to get 10 or so rates at least?! Hopefully people haven't done theirs yet because they're too busy reminding themselves of the albums..
October 22, 201410 yr exactement crémé. will probs vote tonight actually. can I put two 11s in one album and none in another? there's on that has BOTH of their huge standouts and I wanna acknowledge them :( (guess which one yall)
October 22, 201410 yr Author hmm tricky. I'm tempted to say just one for each but no one likes a bore, so go for ittt. Ha as for the album, III is my favourite but I can imagine you being more of a II kinda guy?
October 22, 201410 yr I'd give Doe Deer and Plague my 11 as well if I could. But the three that got it in the end have a special place in my heart so there was no other way really. It was so tough to rate thooooo. :( Still playing III occasionally. That first 7 tracks is just a PERFECT little sub-album. You don't even need to make a separate playlist for songs you want to listen to i'm so lazy

October 22, 201410 yr also still the best band i've ever seen live and just died a lil inside at the realisation that will never happen again
