A phenomenal, underrated album. I first heard "Strangers" on the SAW soundtrack and fell in love. I've found people either love it or hate it, but it's definitely worth a listen, especially if you like new wave music.

CD Reviews

The best "darkwave" album of 2008!

CRAZOTOLOGY | Joplin, MO. (USA) | 11/01/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"William Control's first solo album is a combination of Electro-Rock, Glam and Darkwave. The Gary Numan/Bowie-esk Space pop dance beats make for incredibly catchy songs, and all in all...William Control brings something all of his own. There are so many exciting moments throughout this record. The lyrics are (explicit, BTW, lots of cussing on this album) primarily about WC's disgust for the modern times, his firm athiestic stance against organized superstition, and his devious sexualty. The begining of the album (Track 1. Prologue) is a reference to Johnny Depp's underground true story thriller The Libertine...as William Control proudly assimilates himself to the charachter by declaring "You Will Not Like Me". From here each song builds on different themes...primarily hate. I think that for a debut album this is verry impressive, and I hope we see more of WC in the future. William Control is a must have for fans of SHE WANTS REVENGE, BLAQK AUDIO, THE FAINT, and to some extent...early (Pretty Hate Machine) era of NINE INCH NAILS."

My name is William Control...

"I bought this album on a whim. It was in my iTunes selection box as "something I would like". I listened to a few clips and was immediately intrigued.

Mixing various different sounds together, Hate Culture surrounds the fictional persona of William Control (IRL, the lead singer of Aidan) and his last night on earth. It's his last night on earth because as the album progresses we discover he plans to kill himself because he's so disgusted at the state of the world (and at himself depending on how you read into it).

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. It's a little hard to listen to some of the lyrics, but as Mr Control put it so eloquently at the beginning of the CD "You will not like me." While I beg to differ with that statement as a whole, there are some lyrics that more sensitive listeners will balk at. Not for very long, though- the sheer quality of this CD will win them over!"
