Some people say this is the best Type O Negative album and well, personally I hope they are not right as it is at times very tedious and sometimes even monotonous. Sure, the incredible, odd mixture of genres is very original, but there comes a time when there is no way possible for anyone to hear that "sexy"(for the women of course) low voice again. Ayway, let's talk about the music now.

The Brooklyn-based band decided to issue a disclaimer for their second album stating:"Don't Mistake Lack of Talent for Genius.". Although it's a tongue in cheek statement, over the years it can be accurately applied to them. On Bloody Kisses is where the drab four flirted with 'genius'. Type O Negative's humble start was heavily rooted in their previous incarnation as hardcore thrash band Carnivore, not dissimilar to Stormtroopers Of Death with lyrics insisting it was Peter Steele's favorite avenue for venting rage. While Slow, Deep, and Hard still had some left over bile, its not as outlandish while still retaining the trademark morbid humor of Carnivore. After the canned live album Origin of the Feces the focus of the band seemingly shifted from pissing off as many people humanely possible to trying to get laid.

I find a lot of the tracks kinda random on here, maybe more listens will raise my thoughts on this.

I've always thought of Type O as a very inconsistent band.

Hmm, well I mean on this album alone, you get thrash, like Kill All The Whire People, then Doom/Gothic Ballads, like Bloody Kisses. It's wierd.
I'm going to listen to it more tomorrow.

I haven't listened to them in a long time now, but from what I can remember the majority (if not all) of their albums were spotty like that, not necessarily mixing different genres within each song but mixing songs of different genres into the album.
In any case, none of their stuff appeals to me. :/

I really like the Doom/Gothic stuff and sometimes the trashy stuff, but all piled together, it's just kind of a mess.

Strongly disagree, I always felt their combination of genres was very smooth in all their albums specially considering all of them were used to achieve the same goal: giving the finger to the "nice" and "emotional" gothic. Even in their fast tracks the gothic melodies were still around.
