2.0 out of 5 stars No, No, and NO!, October 3, 2006

By	Mr. Censored (Maine) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Wait, didn't Roadrunner already do a "Best Of" for Type O Negative about six years ago? If memory serves me correctly, they've only released one studio album since. Hmmmm...

Sounds like: Roadrunner cashing in, again.

The Good:
- "Highway Star," a Deep Purple cover that popped up on a NASCAR soundtrack some years ago is included.

The Bad:
- Aside from one song, it's all material we've heard before, and with really bland packaging to boot!

Future: I can see this one sitting on the shelves for ages before some unsuspecting sucker snatches it up. This is a virtually useless release.

Personally: I love Type O Negative, always been one of my favorites. But considering how well done "The Least Worst Of" was and the fact that all of their studio albums are worth having, this "Best Of" collection just screams "Greed." No wonder so many bands leave Roadrunner. Type O Negative aren't even there anymore and their catalogue is still being beaten into the ground.

Best Listened To When: All other Type O CD's fall off the face of the Earth.

3.0 out of 5 stars know what you are buying...., September 26, 2006

By	timbuktu (louisville, ky USA) - See all my reviews

unless you are a type o completist like myself you should possibly buy the extra tracks digi-pak version of least worst of instead. this compilation contains the previously unreleased "highway star".also note that tracks 2,3,5,8 and 9 are not the full length versions. a money grab by roadrunner in my opinion...new cd "profit of doom" coming halloween!...peace!

3.0 out of 5 stars I Have To Agree..., October 18, 2006

By	Edward Davila "Dead Ed" (South Of Heaven) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Everybody here is right. A "Best Of" HAS been released. If you want to move on into the future, pick up Seventh Void, a NEW album featuring members of Type O Negative. Now available...
