Free Music Review: Type O Negative - 'Life Is Killing Me' (Roadrunner)
Hit: 5 Stars
Review no. 143. Are they SURE this is Type O Negative's sixth CD? Sounds just as ground-breaking {sort to speak}, breath-taking and exciting as their first two {or three} efforts. About all fifteen tracks here showcase frontman / guitarist Pete Steele's trademark yawning-from-the-grave style of vocals. Cuts here that more than had me sit up and take notice were "I Don't Wanna Be Me", the Beatles-like "Less Than Zero" (a true modern-day Type O classic), the dramatic "How Could She?", the death-like sounding "Love Is Killing Me" and "The Dream Is Dead". A friend of mine that totally dug Type O Negative from the very beginning, had given up on them now - saying that the long-running goth-metal Brooklyn band has gone pop. WHAT the poop is he talking about? This CD is prime stuff, glad I got to catch the band on tour last year, co-headling with Hatebreed. Before that, I hadn't seen them since their 'World Coming Down' trek. Essential listening.Free Music Review: "Life is Killing Me", The Quintessential Type O CD!

It took me more than once to trully appreciate what Type O Negative have done on their latest effort, Life is Killing Me. Not only do I consider it to be their own best of 'many' worlds (think of a fine mix of such albums as "World Coming Down" and "October Rust"), buy I really think that this is their most quintessential opus to date.Although I like their current style ALOT, I would certainly like them to spew out a little more hardcore à la Origin of the Feces or Slow, Deep and Hard in their next CD.
Another thing that would really be great in future outings would be to emphasize both the bass and the hi-hat a little more.
I also hope that they release a Live DVD ASAP that would capture their finest moments onstage.
Finally, and upon taking into account the rumors surrounding thier possible demise, I just hope that they continue crafting their unique brand of music for many years to come.
Free Music Review: Could be the bands best
Hit: 5 Stars
Unlike most bands, after several years in the business, Type O Negative can still deliver awesome albums and surprisingly, come out stronger than ever, musically. This record is Type O's heaviest, easily and the band out performs ALL of their previous records. The music is absolutely beautiful, well played and expertly written. The best track is probably Anesthesia, the most beautiful track with the best lyrics. The Cd is VERY solid, every somg being fantastic and a highlight, except the below-par cover Angry Inch. One of my favourite CDs, easily one of the best cds of the year (2003). Pete's vocal beauties shine through, along with his climatic bass lines. That't the only way to describe them... Climatic. It may be too hard to describe what I mean, but they really add to the emotional atmosphere of the music. I'm gonna have to finish this review later, so don't give me any bad votes if you think I've forgotten things!Free Music Review: WELL WORTH THE WAIT...THE BOYS FROM BROOKLYN ARE BACK!!!

While perhaps lacking ever so slightly the passion of their earlier efforts, "Life is Killing Me" is nonetheless an awesome, solid album. The music of Type O Negative is always a treat for the senses, and this release does not disappoint. Peter, Josh, and Kenny sound great as always, and I'd even go so far as to say Johnny's drums sound better than ever. "I Like Goils" is absolutely hilarious and ROCKS! (More fast songs like this please!) My other favorite off this CD would probably be "The Dream is Dead", a heartwrenchingly beautiful song. Josh's keyboards and Kenny's guitar shine especially on "A Dish Best Served Coldly"...great lyrics too. Check out the cover of "Angry Inch"...to hear the lyrics delivered by Pete Steele is priceless! I could wax poetic about this CD for pages, but these are merely highlights. Just buy it already and hear for yourself!Free Music Review: Best TON since Slow, Deep and Hard
Hit: 5 Stars
Almost gratifying to see the BK and OR fans winging that this isn't real type o negative. I loved Slow, Deep and Hard but Bloody Kisses and October Rust made me cringe. The shoe is now on the other foot eh? Life is killing me drew me in, albeit kicking and screaming, because the songs are so catchy. To me this is Type O Negative goes pop but without selling out. There's some great melodies often surrounded by heavy sabbath/cathedral type guitar and a great production. There's a wide range of aggressiveness on display too, from the very mellow Nettie and Electrocute to Angry Inch which shows Pete can still sound mean and angry when he wants to tho possibly popping a roid in the process. Other stand out songs for me were Anesthesia, Dream is Dead, Don't wanna be Me, A dish.. The instrumentals Thirteen and Drunk in Paris are really the only songs I skip.
