Crystal Castles (2008 album)
Crystal Castles is the first studio album by Crystal Castles released on the 18th March, 2008 through Lies Records. The album is a compilation of the bands previous sold-out singles, early unreleased tracks and three new songs recorded for the album. Before the album's release, the original cover, which featured Trevor Brown's black-eyed Madonna artwork, was "banned" due to distributors in the U.S. refusing to distribute a CD with Madonna's face on the cover, and its use was also not approved by Brown. The current album cover features a picture of Alice with a picture of Ethan cropped in.
