34. Crystal Castles, 'III'

Canada’s most enigmatic electronic act may refuse to name their albums, but their sound certainly hasn’t remained locked in a similar stasis. While they began as little more than a chiptune take on Atari Teenage Riot, their music has progressively gotten gauzier and more dancefloor-focused, despite song titles like
"Wrath of God." Alice Glass’ aggro vocals are now mostly buried deep in the mix, and while her lyrics are as doom laden as ever, Ethan Kath’s spectral synth music now sounds as unexpectedly beautiful as a sunflower in a graveyard. -- Joshua Ostroff
