Top 10 Albums of 2008
look out! Ninjas!:
If I plagiarise for an assignment, even if I only steal a little bit, I fail with an absolute zero, and if I ever try to be admitted to legal practice (law student) it'll be called up as evidence that I'm not fit to practice law.
Fuck Crystal Castles.
Halitosis:
I agree. Fuck Crystal Castles! No one gets away with sampling a drum loop on 3 songs out of 16 on my watch!
FireAarro:
Yeah. Their album hadn't much plagarizing apart from some sampled drums. Which I don't have a problem with. How about Girl Talk? Ha! Using an entire track hardly edited as the basis for a song, without credit, is kind of lame though, and the worst was the stuff about the Madonna drawing.
Anyway, even though they're douchebags you shouldn't let that affect your judgment of their music because plenty of famous people making great music are assholes. That being said, I don't rate their album that highly, it's ok, has some great tracks on it but doesn't work that well as a whole IMO.
_yoda:
Yeah, I couldn't stand the Crystal Castles album. Really grates by the time you're about halfway in, and the album doesn't hit me personally as being much more than overhyped ravey music that happens to be "in" at the moment. It's quite likely that it will just go on the pile of albums that are met with little more than a few eye-rolls in a couple of years, thanks to a fickle audience.
I could be totally missing the point of course - not trying to get on the fans' ire in the least. It just didn't do much for me.

But buying their music sends them money and/or gets them recommissioned to create another album, which rewards musical theft and encourages them to do it more. However, on the other hand, one could argue that their music should appreciated in it's own right, and not in relation to the person who made it.
Would you consider listening to, say, Burzum, to be acceptable (one might argue that, by going to prison, he has already been punished for his crimes)? What about Charles Manson?
