Free Music Notes for October Rust
Free Music Review: sad?
Hit: 5 Stars
Broke a stereotype today. Listened to gothic metal, nothing like what I imagined. Heard `Love You to Death' by Type O Negative.Gothic music is very reflective of the people behind it, there is a very dark upset atmosphere surrounding it. It is sad to me that the people behind the music have `allowed' the depression to be so dominant of their lives but it has allowed them to create what I currently feel is the most beautiful form of music as they express their uphappiness. It is dark, harsh, gothic and has a clear rough edge to it. It is certainly not neat tidy clean music. Music from the soul, but also dangerous music as it is very inflential in encouraging negative emotions.
Although I don't relate to the negativity of the group, I have never heard music so conveyant of emotion. I find it bizarre how so many love songs appear in the charts which are supposed to be beautiful and moving, but the image to me is fake starched and artifical. I know another one will appear next week sung by another pretty girl/boy in a clean neat voice. It sounds pretty, white and clean...is that a love song? Hearing Pete Steele sing in his dark sad deep emotion wracked voice to the heavy gothic metal tones of `Type O Negative' brought a tear to my eye which no chart song could ever do.
Free Music Review: Nothing negative except Type O
Hit: 5 Stars
I take 5 star ratings very seriously. This one deserves so much more than 5. I've sat down before and really put a lot of thought into making a top 20 albums list of all time (for personal fun, and not just a quick 5-minute deal... a LOT of thought into it), and guess which album ended up #1? Ahead of things like... (probably going to get shot for this one) Pink Floyd - The Wall... The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness... Tool - Aenima...
Yes, October Rust. Most commercial album? I really couldn't give any less of a damn because it's the most erotic, beautiful, dark, somber, entrancing album I own and have heard.
If you're a huge October Rust fan like me (well, I'm also a huge Type O fan, but I'm talking about the October Rust sound in particular), don't waste your time trying to satiate your hunger by finding something else that sounds like it. There's nothing out there. Or if there is, I hope someone posts another review here and informs me. The closest things I've found are Moonspell - Darkness and Hope, and Paradise Lost - One Second. But all listening to Paradise Lost did was make me want to listen to Type O, so I traded it not long after purchasing it... however, I do still listen to Moonspell sometimes.
Free Music Review: Definitly a "Must-buy"
Hit: 5 Stars
"October Rust" by Type O Negative has to be one of Type O Negative's best CD. Well, that's not being very helpful, because all of Type O Negative's CDs are equally amazing in my opinion. But on with the CD, the best advice I can give to you is read all the other reviews and listen to the samples. If you are a fan a dark and depressing music, you will most definitly like "October Rust". Like someone else said in a previous review, October Rust is a good CD to listen to alone and in the dark. This CD features some of Josh Silver's best keyboarding and some catchy and beautiful guitars, like on "Be My Druidess" -I found the guitars on that addictive. It's absolutely amazing. Get this CD. And when you listen to it all the way through and you're not that impressed, don't despair. For one of the things I've noticed about all TON's CDs is that they take time to get used to, and when you get used to them, you will fall in love with them. Listen to this album at least 5 more times before you decide you hate it. And if you haven't already, make sure to get "Bloody Kisses" and Type O Negative's new release- "Life Is Killing Me". If you like this type of music, Type O Negative will become your favorite band.Free Music Review: Dark, brooding, and beautiful...

Imagine walking through the woods on a cold autumn day. The sky is grey, the ground is draped in orange and gold leaves, and the mist covers everything, creating an eerie stillness and quiet. To some people, it seems miserable - to others, it's beautiful. For the people that appreciate those types of days, "October Rust" could cut through the silence perfectly.
While songs such as "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" or a cover of "Cinnamon Girl" have a definite upbeat, tongue-in-cheek feel to them, the majority of the songs have a "haunting" sound, with Peter Steele's resonant voice nicely complimented by distorted guitars, organs, and pounding drums.
Where most love songs talk about the bright, shiny aspects of falling in love, lead singer Peter Steele nearly laments over it, but never regrets it. The songs "Haunted," and "Wolfmoon" both have the same type of feel to them, telling of love so strong that it nearly consumes those involved. But by far, the best song on this album is "Love You to Death." For anyone who has worshipped and adored someone so completely, only to know that you'll never have that feeling returned - this song will tear your still-beating heart out and set it on fire in front of you...and you'll love it.
Free Music Review: Love This Album To Death
Hit: 5 Stars
What more can be said about this album that hasn't been already said? There's 117... uh, make that 118 reviews. What I think listeners notice most about this album is that it's so 'full.' It seems like the CD weighs more than that of other albums because of how much is stored on it! The music definately can't be described to anyone who hasn't heard it, they simply have to hear it. What I personally love about this CD and other TON music is the heavy use of the piano on many of the tracks. You just don't find that in other heavy metal music. TON has come to the next level of heavy metal, metal with a emphasis on orchestration, harmony, and excellant lyrics that convey all the serious & strong emotions--love, sadness, depression, longing, despair, loneliness, humor. They're all here. October Rust seems to never end, either. The more you listen to it, the more you tend to hear in the songs that you might have missed the first few times around. Every song is full of walls of harmony (mostly in the D-Flat scale, with a lot of progressive modulation for sure, the ending to "Haunted" is exactly what I mean, it's wonderful harmonious ensemble singing at its best "Oooooh, I'm Haunted"). Peter Steele ought to do film scores!
