Baptism Radio Edit is the fourth single from Crystal Castles' second studio album, (II). The track features the signature distorted vocals and glitchy beats that the Canadian electronic duo is known for.
The single's radio edit version, which is shorter than the album version, still manages to capture the essence of the song. The track's heavy bass and pounding drums create a sense of urgency that keeps the listener hooked from start to finish.
The lyrics, which are often hard to decipher, add to the overall atmosphere of the song. The repetition of the word "baptism" adds a religious undertone to the track, while the distorted vocals create a sense of detachment and unease.
