Free Music Notes for Slow Deep & Hard
Free Music Review: Type O's coming of age
Hit: 3 Stars
When I was a kid I loved this album. The music was surging and slow, as the title promised. But now that I'm older, I'm kinda embarrassed by this album. Musically it's still top-notch -- it's the foundation on which Type O built its languid melodies, distorted bass hooks and rolling atmosphere -- but the lyrics make me cringe. Aside from "Unsuccessfully Coping," which is crude and mean and wretched, sure, but also deeply honest, the rest of this goes overboard. "Der Untermensch" is surprisingly political and judgmental, calling welfare recipients the scum of the earth. In "Xero Tolerance" Peter fantasizes about killing his cheating girlfriend from "Unsuccessfully" with an axe. Then, to wrap up the cheating triptych suite, in "Prelude to Agony" he imagines -- I'm not making this up -- raping her with a jack-hammer, unfortunately with sound effects of the incident included. I understand where his pain comes from, that horrible primitive feeling of hate so close to love when you realize your lover is not who you thought she was, but still, this is too much. After that, it's basically a cool but overlong experimental collage called "Glass Walls of Limbo." Followed by silence. And then a song about killing yourself. It made for a great T-shirt design, but "Gravity" is best heard in its live mix on "Origin of the Feces." Come to think of it, all the songs sound better -- less serious, more artful, better played -- on "Origin." I'm not saying this is a terrible album. It's just hard to listen to Peter's vindictive fantasies against an ex and calling people who receive welfare a "waste of life." (yes, that's an actual lyric) No thanks.Free Music Review: Slow deep and hard -- an appropriate title

"Slow Deep And Hard" is one of the most appropriate titles for an album. Type O Negative's first, it's very slow (every song is over 6 minutes save the minute of silence that passes as track 6), deep (many of the songs are built on simple riffs but have multi parts) and hard (self-explanatory). Although it delivers in these respects, the songs drag too much for their own good, but do feature a few quite excellent highlights in "I Know You're F*****g Someone Else" and "Xero Tolerance". However, it's for true fans only. For anyone just getting into them, get "Bloody Kisses" first.Free Music Review: Good, but not as powerful as their later stuff.

I was first introduced to Type O Negitive with World Coming Down. I later bought bloody kisses, and october rust. There were all great. This wasn't as serious and it didn't have the same style as there later stuff.Free Music Review: slow, deep, and hard??
Hit: 2 Stars
in my opinion type o negatives slow deep and hard wasnt nearly as good as october rust or bloody kisses. ive only been listening to the band for about 5 months now and the first album i purchased was october rust which i found to be the best album of the three.i havent yet purchased Origin of the Feces but when i do i hope it will be much better than this release.my suggestion is if you like the gothic/metal sound of october rust dont buy Slow Deep and Hard because the two are nothing alike.Free Music Review: Fine if you liked Carnivore - otherwise ...

.... dreadful. Anyone who has recently discovered Type O Negative and is working their way through their back catalogue may be in for a nasty surprise when they reach SD&H. During this era, TON was still very much just a rebadged Carnivore - complete with unpleasant juvenile lyrics and tinny bass sound.Carnivore fans will be pleased however - there are still little "interludes" (in the same style as "Jack Daniels and Pizza") present on this, and indeed every other TON album - and Pete's voice still sounds a little like Cookie Monster.
