Pros: pretty good from start to finish, rhythmic, deep themes and beats
Cons: too commercialized
Summary: I arrived late to the music scene. I was one of the last of my friends to get a CD player, and I rarely played cassette tapes unless it was something weird or juvenile. It wasn't until I was a freshman in college before I really began to develop a sense ... read more

Pros: For a while, Vegas was the shining light for American techno. Fantastic.
Cons: Not for all tastes. Also, the album is certainly no more than 4 great tracks.
Summary: For those of you who haven't seen me around for a million years, I'm back just for the heck of it. I decided to review, in no particular order, some randomly selected albums of the 90's that have held on to their spots in my CD case. This is the first ... read more

Pros: airy grooves in some places, crunchy beats elsewhere
Cons: some songs sound alike
Summary: The Crystal Method is one of the all time greatest names in Techno today.
Their flagship release, Vegas, serves up some very tasty grooves. A majority of the 'Crystal Sound' can be defined as a sort of spacey techno-funk. However, the downbeat ... read more

Pros: Moving music, Great Beats
Cons: None!
Summary: I bought Vegas because I didn't own any other electronica CD's and I liked the two or three tracks I'd heard at a friend's party. The music's upbeat, energetic, and absolutely amazing. The only way to do justice to this CD is to review it ... read more

Pros: High-energy
Cons: Not enough on the album and no other albums
Summary: Not too long ago, I dismissed most electronic music as not being worthy. Over the past two years this has changed dramatically and this is one of the "bands" that I feel most accurately classifies this art form as being legitimate.

Cons: lyrics are few & far betweem
Summary: If you own this CD you know what I just said is a really bad pun. (Track 5 is called Comin' Back.) But this is a really good CD, I mean, it's not a CD you can just sit & listen, but it's great driving music and it's great music when you're on ... read more

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Probably have to spend 17 bucks to listen to.
Summary: The first track of the Crystal Method's album, "Trip Like I Do" is a microcosm of the whole album. Erratic drum accents; ambient keyboards; repetitive, fast moving treble-synth parts and throbbing bass echo back and forth through excellent ... read more

Pros: Powerfully funky
Cons: not very prolific
