Andy LaPlegua (Icon Of Coil) returns with yet another side project, this time called Combichrist, and it is, in my opinion, his best to date.
If you're looking for an album filled with deeply touching lyrics that you can smooch your significant other to, then look elsewhere because you won't find a single song that would lend itself to this type of activity.
On the other hand, if you want songs that will help you to share with others how pissed off you are, how much you hate the world, or you're just feeling a little bit malevolent, then "Everybody Hates You" is right up your alley!
The beats and the synth work are spectacular throughout "Everybody Hates You", and that is the album's strong point. For the most part, the songs have a faster pace, and the beats really pound on this album.
The lyrics are, at times, overboard to the point of making it seem like LaPlegua is just trying to be as shocking and offensive as possible.
A good example of this is the song "God Bless", where we are treated to a song which has lyrics that are nothing more than the naming off of various mass murderers and serial killers.
After checking out Combichrist's website, it became very apparent that LaPlegua isn't exactly seeking political correctness with the monster that is Combichrist, and I personally think that is a good thing. It is about time someone put out an album that conveys the message "I'm pissed off and I hate you all, so go f*** yourselves", takes no prisoners, and makes no apologies.
It is a risky move in today's entertainment world to be so aggressively negative, especially when you take into account the popularity of LaPlegua's main project, Icon Of Coil. I give him a ton of credit for taking the chance and not looking back. A good album for those times when you're in a bad mood.
Stand-out songs on this one are "Enjoy the Abuse", "Blut Royale", "Happy [edited] Birthday", and "I'd Like to Thank My Buddies".
(The European limited edition version contains a 9 track bonus disc of mostly atmospheric pieces that certainly don't seem to fit into the Combichrist sound. That's what I think, anyway. They're cool to chill to, but that's about it.)
