Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Still proving that gothic metal need be mordant and humorless, New York's Type O returns with their sixth album of misanthropy, high drama and perversion with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Towering frontman Pete Steele is still the band’s focal point and his lyrics are more grotesquely hilarious than ever. Musically, Life is pretty accessible, eschewing much of the brutal, thrashy heaviness of Type O's early material. "(We Were) Electrocute" is a sleek, electro-pop homage to 1980s New Romanticism that showcases Josh Silver's funeral synth lines. The adrenaline-fuelled soft-rock rush of "I Like Goils" comes on like Andrew WK in a vampire cape. And "Less than Zero" finds Type O Negative revisiting one of their more surprising influences, the Beatles, as a sitar cuts through the eerie gloom. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars Type O Negative Makes A Comeback!, May 20, 2004

The extra tracks really make this disc a good reason for old school Type O fans to come out of the shadows. A far cry from the commercially pleasing "October Rust," but more depth and variety than "World Coming Down," this disc is a long awaited gem. Again, Type O Negative preserves their neo-gothic sound while mixing in elements of metal, rock and new age/industrial.
Notable tracks include "Nettie," "Anesthesia" and "Drunk In Paris." The highlight of the second disc (or of the whole album) is the "Suspended In Dusk" track from the import version of "Bloody Kisses," and the "Out Of The Ashes" mix of "Blood/Fire" from the Mortal Kombat Soundtrack. These two are a must have for Type O fans, conveniently added to this two disc set, as well as the spine-chilling intro to the second disc. Bravo for Type O!

5.0 out of 5 stars Type (-), July 3, 2003

You weren't expecting TON to digress were you? Peter's musical genius deepens with every album. This new work is not as dark; and their dark songs from the past were some of their best. However, with this new progressive and brighter instrumental quality (interjected with the "same old" dark "Type O" lyrics,) the band seems to be taking a more passive approach to their fatalistic views, as if, like the album states, Life is Killing Them. This album is like the others in that it will not get old. I believe that this is their second best album; preceeded by October Rust! Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Ever, June 25, 2003

Now here is a band that deserves a lot more credit and regognition. This is by far Type O's best album since Bloody Kisses. Its a step in a whole new , less depressing , more rocking direction. Musically , they have got to be one of the best metal bands out there. Peter is definetly one of the greatest , unsung vocalists of all time. All in all , this album rocks. Not one bad track. Buy it!
