Ausgeflippt is Hanzel und Gretyl's debut full-length album, released on October 10, 1995, via Energy Records. It is mostly techno-industrial, unlike later releases. The album featured mostly German and English lyrics, but also featured lyrics in Romanian ("Apa Mare"), Greek ("Galaxia Malakia") and French ("L'Experience des Difficultés Technique"). It received some good reviews upon its release, and even spawned a successful single in the form of "Shine 2001", which reached number one on the Alternative Press Dance Chart.

Reception

edit

The album lead to the band being picked up to tour with Marilyn Manson in 1995 after only playing a few local shows.[1][2] Lollipop Magazine gave a positive review and noted that "Hanzel Und Gretyl created a blend of edgy guitars and digital noises that seemed to have visited us from the future."[3][4] Soul Killer Webzine stated that "it's got memorable songs and a few chunky industrial sections."[5]
