Album Description
In just their few short years of existence, Combichrist has become one of the most iconic bands in the electronic music genre. After finishing up their tour in support of KMFDM in the fall of 2006, Combichrist earned even more notoriety among fans of industrial rock who had previously never heard of them. With an ever growing army of fans, Combichrist is poised to release What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?, their newest album in 2007. Featuring last year's break out single, "Get Your Body Beat," the album is an explosive barrage of corrosive beats, leering vocals, and acidic melodies. WTFIWWYP? is a high energy, adrenaline charged piece of sonic battery. If you don't find yourself sweaty, naked, out of breath, and bleeding by the time the album is finished, you weren't listening!

Andy knows what he's doing. April 19, 2007

Combichrist is in one of those spaces right now where they are probably becoming to popular for the elitists in the industrial scene to like anymore, but not quite popular enough outside of it yet either. However, I doubt this bothers Mr. Andy Pelgua, mastermind behind Combichrist and several other electronic projects.
You see, i'm pretty sure he has no BS illusions about being a dark poet or tortured, or overly self important as alot of groups in the ebm genre tend to get. I'm willing to bet he knows that he's a party band. Combichrist is all about the "get crazy" element of things.
A few parts of this album come off as angry, but even if its a party hard ebm group, its still hard ebm. However a great deal of it(at least to me) feels tongue in check enough to pass though. Essentially, if VNV are supposed to be the spiritual successors of Front 242, Combichrist is probably the successor to something like the Revolting Cocks.
People expecting yet another "everybody hates you" are probably in for some disapointment. Less goofy samples, more straight vocals on this one. At places however it does seem a bit less Combichrist and more like a harder version of one of his other bands, Icon of Coil, or more like his pre-Everybody Hates You Combichrist work from the album "the Joy of Gunz", except of cours with more straight up vocals. Alot of people will probably be angry about the changes however, but I think it would be more boring if he had just done the same album over and over. You can at least tell he's making some progress, and breathing some fun into the often stale genre of ebm style industrial.

Meh April 9, 2007

I really wanted this album to be brilliant. Instead it's just simply "okay". It's hard to tell what Andy was shooting for - gone are the straight-up simple beat-heavy tracks of his last album - and gone are the harsher sounds of his earlier work. It's like he couldn't decide if he wanted to be more hardcore or more mainstream so instead he ends up being neither. I so badly want this album to kill on the dance floor but I'm afraid the best it's going to do is fade unceremoniously. Meh.

It's not 'Everybody Hates You'... March 9, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I've only listened to this CD once so far, but I listened to it all the way through. It may take a while to grow on me, as it seems to be a step down from 'Everybody Hates You', which is brilliant. However, the album isn't terrible. It's full of offensive lyrics (what little there are, anyway), that trademark Combichrist thumping beat, and a growling Andy LaPlegua. I imagine the material would be fantastic live, but I'm just not feeling it. Yet.

THE CHILD DEVIANT March 29, 2007

This is an excellent follow up album to the prior "Everybody Hates You" release. The music is ultra violent/sex fueled/drugged up and hard hitting! Powerful EBM/Industrial! I love the tittle track the most...but there are many great songs on this album. Lots of "bad" language...dance music for "evil" people.

Get your body beat March 25, 2007

Up until last year, I wasn't really familiar with Combichrist. I knew that it wsa one of Andy LePeglua's bands outside of Icon of Coil. I bought Everybody Hates You prior to last fall's KMFDM concert to get an idea what the band sounds like. I really enjoyed what I heard on "Everybody Hates You" but it was their live performance that really made me a big fan of the band's music. The song that really stood out for me at the concert was the thunderous "Get Your Body Beat". The song was both aggressive and melodic. I was so glad to see that the song is included on the new Combichrist album "What the F*ck is Wrong with You People?". Prior to the release of the new album, I heard samples of the new music and I really enjoyed what I heard and knew that it was going to be something special. I finally got the album today and I enjoyed it as much as "Everybody Hates You". The music was in your face and energetic. I do though think that it could have been even better if it wasn't so long. I absolutely love the title track, "Electrohead" and "In the Pit". The songs made me want to get up and dance. I loved all the songs but I do think some of them needed some serious editing but otherwise, great album.
