Although I really love a couple of the tracks (alice practice & air war), I still think they have a lot of room to make improvements.

Untrust Us is defiantly my favorite song from them

I really like the Health vs CC song crimewave.

They're music is like old-school video game tunes on heroine. Its awesome.

Thats because they use sound bits from atari games. Their name also likely comes from the arcade game "Crystal Castles". I think I read somewhere that it actually refers to She-Ras (He-Mans spinoff) castle

I was misled into buying their debut full length and thus hated it, though I knew they got something when I started putting "Magic Spells" on repeat.

That would explain it. Listening to it reminds me of playing kirby. And one of my friends, before I even mentioned anything, asked me if it was a old school "duck hunt" remix.

I miss duck hunt....
