Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (III)
9/10

While nowhere near the level of noise or volume of their previous albums, I'd probably have to say this is their strongest effort so far (although I do have to go back and listen to Crystal Castles (II)). Overall, it's the first album that seems like I can listen to it without getting fatigued, whereas Crystal Castles (I) I get burned out if I don't take a break from listening to it.

Some of the tracks kinda remind me of the stuff Purity Ring did on Shrines (another album from this year I love), but I have to give the edge to Crystal Castles here due to a good portion of Shrines coming off as samey (Belispeak is probably the most unique, and best, track on Shrines).
