I, like many, I suppose, have been hearing this entire album over the net for the last month or so (and I disagree with the band's anti-leak stance: the leaked tracks with the voice-stamps on every cut served to let everybody hear the album, but in versions that nobody is gonna want to keep on a CD!). Anyways, if you haven't heard this, it is simply STUNNING! Kind of a mixture of everything you love about this band (unless, of course, you're a fan of albums like "Slow Deep and Hard"), with the songwriting level and production value of their real peak album "October Rust" - all while being less gothic and metallic than most of their recent material. Beatles and Sabbath influences abound - the Josh keyboards are back in high style - the vocal harmonies are plentiful - acoustic guitars and sitars have returned. I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT!! If only HALF of the millions who have bought, and have been disappointed with the latest from Metallica and Deftones to the newest 35-minute "opus" from Linkin Park, would buy this 75-minute masterpiece, then this band would be on top where they belong!Free Music Review: Another Type O Negative Masterpiece!!

I have all of type o negative's cd's and I'm proud to have added another type o negative cd to my collection. I listen to the new cd and I can almost feel everything that Peter Steele says in the lyrics. The music is beautifully put together and makes each song a true masterpiece. I like the new instruments that were added in this cd especially on track 13. I like how it has an east indian sound to it but i can still hear from the powerful guitars that this is still Type O Negative. I love the goth, metal sound it projects from the cd and with every second I listen to this album, I feel more in love with Peter Steele and his lyrics. I really like all the tracks especially the track that Peter Steele wrote about his mom. It was really beautiful. You can really tell how much he loves his mother and thats a wonderful thing. This album is absolutely the greatest as well as everything that Type O Negative has ever put out. This is definitely one of my favorite bands of all time and I think noone can compare to them. I look forward to hearing more from Type O Negative!!Free Music Review: 2003's best?...

i can count those cd which i loved from start to finish, on one hand. Life is killing me makes no exception, it's just 75 minutes of sheer gothic/groovy/doom/punk goodness. TON makes a jaw-droppingly (does such term exist?) organic music that meanders through all the above mentioned styles (and then some) and still comes out as in-your-face, remarkably tight music. jee, i almost forgot about the lyrics!well just like the music, they also range from doomy lyrics about loss and despair, to happy-go-lucky downright hilarious (try the exquisitely 'macho' , "I like Goils"), more than a mere passing nod at punk (Angry inch) as well as tunes in the purest heavy metal vain such as "i dont wanna be me". this is greatness from start to finish and i'm even tempted to place it above "Bloody Kisses" because TON never sounded that good and catchy. well at least not for a whole straight 75 minutes!
for all of you cynics out there, this album is for you! Thank you, TON, for a blinding return to form.

Like just about every album this band has released, this does not dissapoint. Peter Steele's voice is as good as ever, the music isn't radically different from other releases, but doesn't seem stale either.My favorite songs are probably I Don't Wanna Be Me, Todd's Ship Gods, Angry Itch, I Like Goils.. ok I'll stop, I'm going to list most of the album that way. If you're a Type O fan, you definately need this, and if you haven't heard them before, try them out. They're a very good band, and don't even sound exactly like every other band.
Keep up the good work guys.
Oh, and the bonus disc is excellent, with new versions of classic Type O songs, as well as some good bonus songs. It runs over 40 minutes, and is actually worth listening to, unlike many bonus discs I've seen. It's not a sampler cd, it's almost another Type O Negative album. You've heard a good number of the songs already, but they're likely ones you won't have a problem listening to again, and are slightly different on this disc.
Free Music Review: Masterpiece Nr. 3

What seems impossible for many Type O Negative fans may turn out real with this album; well, at least for me it did. To achieve again the quality of Bloody Kisses or October Rust was something I feared no longer possible for Steele's band, and having 2 masterpieces in the repertoire is already something out of reach for the majority of the bands around. But now I've listened to "Life Is Killing Me" enough times to consider it at the same level as those ones, and better understand why it took so long to come out.
I Don't Wanna Be Me, my intro to the album, was reason enough for making me believe at the time this had to be a good return, but there are other 4(!) tracks on top of my preferences: How Could She?; The title-track - powerful, with superb lyrics; The beauty of (We Were) Electrocute and Anesthesia, already one of my favourite TON songs besides Black Nr.1 and Love You to Death.
Comparable for many or only a few TON fans, I believe we all agree that their uniqueness remains untouched.
