I bought the Crystal Castles album this morning. I don't regret it. It has a lot of really cool 8-bit sounds that I actually tried to distinguish which video games they are from. There is some definite donkey kong-ness in there.
It is a little rave-ish... in that I am sure that people that go to raves will enjoy it. But, I wouldn't go so far as to call it house or trance. It is definitely danceable. If you like The Knife, Justice, or Midnight Juggernauts you will enjoy Crystal Castles debut album. But, tread carefully, because I'm sure if this comes up on shuffle with your uninitiated friends in the car they may think you spend your weekends with giant pants on swirling glow sticks around.
