I like them. Not something I'll whip out in 2 years and shed a tear for, but it's good work music.

I've seen that name somewhere and added it to my mental list of "the best band or album names." Crystal Castles, I don't know, it just has a great ring to it.
At the top of best album names lists is Prodigy's "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned." Too bad the album was a disaster. But I love that album name.

I love the album... fuck you all...
- I do too. But then I love Kraftwerk and I kind of think of them as a punk version of the Kling Klang boys.JerseyRaindog

Been Jamming to the Alb all weekend. Good stuff. Pretty creative to make a whole alb of Donkey Kong sound bits. Some tracks hit dry and very dry. There are also some real gems in there.

please expand on the above.
I like the album, or rather I like about 4 or 5 tunes on the album, but that's good going for me these days.
