Might help if you spelt Type O Negative correctly ;P Anyway, great band. Bloody Kisses and October Rust are great albums. Still need to pick up Dead Again, though.

I was and still am a huge fan of Pete Steele's pre-Type O band, Carnivore, so I particularly loved the first Type O album (SLOW DEEP AND HARD) because even though it had a more "goth" sound, it still had links to the older thrash of the Carnivore era. That album is still scary as HELL today. (Scraps of some of those songs originally started out as ideas for a third Carnivore album that never materialized.) BLOODY KISSES threw me at first because it was even more goth and less angry/"metal" sounding, but eventually that one won me over as well.

Unfortunately, OCTOBER RUST and WORLD COMING DOWN were way too slick and way too "goth" for my tastes so I walked away from 'em for a while. Though I recently heard their newest, DEAD AGAIN, and it sounded pretty promising; more in line with the earlier BLOODY KISSES style stuff, with a little more of a rough edge than the last few CDs.

Great live band too, by the way. I saw Type O five or six times in and around NYC and New Jersey during the era of the first two albums and they were a hella fun show each time. The first time I saw them (Summer of 1991) they were at the bottom of a multi band bill opening for Prong, I don't even think the SLOW DEEP AND HARD album had even been released yet... and then four years later I was watching'em open for Queensryche on the Promised Land tour. It was kinda cool being able to watch'em "grow" like that. Smile

I owned October Rust at one point, but I didn't listen to it very much at all and unloaded it. Occasionally I'll hear them on sattellite radio and they sound pretty cool, but I don't know that I'd pick up anything by them anymore.

Sorry i spelt it wrong. Anyway, October Rust to me is their best album. Theeir new album didn't spark anything for me though.

^ LMAO I used to like October Rust but the slow paced drum beats kill it for me i mean come on who can move there head to 1/16 beats.

Have you ever watched someone who is about to fall asleep and there head slowly goes down, then up real fast. Thats what Typo reminds me of with that slow paced doom metal...

Never cared for them. Slow can be heavy or it can be boring. The vocals always seemed like a parody to me.

And I like Black Sabbath. Smile
