Free Music Review: THEIR BEST WORK.....PERIOD!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been listening to Peter Steele since 1986 when he was with Carnivore. Type O is Carnivore at a more "grown up" level. This album is their most hardcore sounding in their whole collection. You can hear Carnivore-ish overtones throughout it. I bought this album the week it came out in 1991......2 weeks later I got a huge Type O logo tattooed on the back of my neck.........can't give a better review than that. GET THE ALBUM AND MAKE IT A PART OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Free Music Review: the best and only type O negative cd
Hit: 5 Stars
this was the first type O cd and the never recovered this fury & brutality again sadly. this is a simple display of anger,lothing,frustration,hatred,sorrow,betrayal and retribution in muciscal form. start to finish emotion and fire in the groin. Pete steel should have stuck to this formula in stead the lost alot of old fans( carnaviore) and developed new softer gothic crowd.this is the best agro-vented hatefelt burst of music ever 16 years later it still makes me rage!
try origin of feaces live. forget everything else!!!!!
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: Their heaviest - NOT the band you know & love!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Type O Negative. Peter Steele, the singer/bassist, is my all-time, biggest hero. If you're a new TON fan, you'll be surprised when you hear this album. But if you've been a fan of Steele's work since he was in Carnivore, this is old news. But this review is mostly for new fans. As the title says, this album isn't like TON, this is a much heavier, angrier album than what they are today. This is what Carnivore would sound like if they had a keyboard player. Read on for the tracks...
1. Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity - 99999999999999999999999999/5 My favorite Type O Negative song ever! Possibly their heaviest song ever. This is part 1 of the story: The boyfriend finding out his girlfriend cheated on him.
2. Untermensch - 5/5
3. Xero Tolerance - 5/5 Part 2 of the story: The boyfriend killing the guy his girlfriend was dating.
4. Prelude to Agony - 5/5 Part 3 of the story: The boyfriend killing the cheating girlfriend.
5. Glass Walls of Limbo [Dance Mix] - N/A Weird...
6. Misinterpretation of Silence and Its Disastrous Consequences - N/A STUPID! Just one minute of silence!
7. Gravitational Constant - 5/5 Exellent closer.
If you're new to TON, this isn't the place to start - That's what October Rust is there for.

Free Music Review: Buy this for 'Glass Walls of Limbo', the rest is icing...
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this after having immersed myself in Bloody Kisses and October Rust. I didn't get it--at first. The sound is primitive compared to BK and OR, but this is a 'small' album. Also, it is the only TON album not produced by Silver/Steele. I guess it can be looked at as the intersecting point of Carnivore and TON. There's a faraway quality to a lot of TON's music, as if it was made and (originally) played 7-800 years ago. The main track is the first one. It details the reason for the album while the others are insights into Peter Steele's struggle in dealing with it. After many, many, many listens, I am most impressed with 'Glass Walls of Limbo'. For a band to put a track like this on an album, AND let it stand on its own, is a testament to the creativity of Peter Steele. It's not music per se, yet the layered (dark) chanting speaks volumes without ever uttering an actual word. To me, it is about soldiering on through the 'winter' of our lives--those times of depression, frustration, gloom, negativity, and just that general feeling that everything sucks, and we're powerless to change the monotony of our jobs, relationships, our days and our nights--that we're stuck in one long 'Groundhog Day'. I find this track especially apropos for rainy/windy/dark days or nights. It has a very medieval feel. In some ways, this track represents Peter's life--loud, strong, sad, dark, depressing, thunderous/big, etc. I like the other tracks, but I hum 'Glass Walls of Limbo'. To me, it's the most unique one and, by itself, makes this album a must have.
