Free Music Notes for World Coming Down
Free Music Review: Awesome gothic metal
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm sick of Evanesance being labeled as gothic metal. They're boring nu-metal, unlike the guys in my review. TON is a real goth metal band. They mix goth metal with doom metal, and it works. Out of all their albums, this one is the most doom influenced. It's also their most depressing. It's Black Sabbath with more depression. The lyrics are painful and full of despair, but not all nu-metal. Peter Steele's vocals can range from angry yells to deep singing, and his basslines are very hearable. The guitarist lays out powerful riffs and some solos as well. He's not as technical as Dragonforce(another great metal band), but he sets the album's mood. The drummer is devastating, as he even lays out some drum solos. The keyboardist keeps the depressing mood in the music, as well as doing some keyboard solos. Standout tracks include Everything Dies and Everyone I Love is Dead. Avoid fake goth like Flyleaf and Shinedown. This is real Gothic Metal. Also check out Carnivore, the thrash metal band he was in.Free Music Review: not messin' around

i just put this album in, so it'll be about 75 min before i can listen to something else, but right now i can't help but relax in a type o negative like stupor as i rock out hard on the inside to the beautiful, cacophonic sounds of peter and kenny giving me a dose of some goth metal emotion
they really do it right with this one, not sounding too produced, but way more coffinesque than any garage band worthy of my attention. boy it'd be sweet to rock this hard in a four piece band with only one guitarist/drummer/keyboardist/bassist--ghoul. i heard they produced it themselves...no egos anywhere, far as i can tell. 75 min ain't enough, i need more!!!!!!
support type o for crying out loud. you will not find anything more satisfying (except physical carnal knowledge--emotionally, this is it, it's like the devil on my shoulder telling me to go all the way). the sad giant has spoken.
first time indulger, long time admirer...
Free Music Review: A Chilling, Gothic Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you hardcore Type O fans, "October Rust" was a letdown (it wasn't for me - i love it when the most angst-ridden, hateful man sings sappy love songs). However, you fans will not be disappointed with "World Coming Down." Type O returns to the dark, hard hitting style of "Bloody Kisses" rather than that of the more melodic "October Rust." You feel their pain, particularly that of Peter, in this album, which is the tale of, for lack of a better expression, a world coming down. There are some radio friendly songs ("Pyretta Blaze," "Everything Dies," and "Everyone I Love is Dead") which might push Type O up the charts. But I guess that they realized that making good music was more important to their "true" fans rather than selling more albums. The result of this realization is "World Coming Down," a chilling, Gothic masterpiece.Free Music Review: Despair feels good (Sometimes)
Hit: 5 Stars
It took this cd to make me realize why I'm in awe of the talent of P. Steele. How someone can reach such levels of doom and despair in their lyrics and not be a total Kurt Cobain in real life just floors me. He's totally original, brilliant, sad, happy, suffering from intense malaise all at the same time. Rare and Beautiful, W.C.D. is , from start to finish, a masterpiece. Much like the timeless Alice in Chains classic, "Dirt", this cd takes the listener to depths of pain and despair that most of us should hope never to experience first hand. Even at his lowest point, K.C couldn't put pen-to-paper to write lyrics this deep. The gothic music that backs up the words is a perfect match. For some reason, though, this cd makes me happy to be alive and well. I don't think that is the vibe most would get from it, but T.O.N have a sense of humor and irony that most don't comprehend. Get this cd, but burn a bowl before venturing in.Free Music Review: The musical geniuse's 4th studio is a masterpiece for our times
Hit: 5 Stars
The drab 4 from brooklyn struck another nerve in the collective musical unconscious with "World Coming Down," an album that takes depression to a whole new level, and makes it wonderful. Depression never felt so good as it does here. The songs are all incredible, written masterfully, and performed with incredible emotion.
Some highlights include: World Coming Down, Pyretta Blaze, Who Will Save the Sane, and Hallow's Eve. They will bring you down if you are happy, and they will bring you up if you are down. These tracks shine with the musical genius that encompasses the mind of the Dr. Frankenstein of the band: Peter Steele
Peter Steele gives music a good name in this age of crap bands. I can't stand the crap that I hear on the radio everyday. It sucks!! Most band out there right now suck!!!! Thank you Peter, thank you Type O Negative for keeping us sane in this age of suck.
