Album Notes Type O Negative includes: Josh Silver, Peter Steele.Additional personnel: Paul Bento (sitar, tambura). Recorded at Systems Two, Brooklyn, New York. Type O Negative has delivered either death-metal's first prog-rock concept album, or its "Good Vibrations"...or maybe both. Either way BLOODY KISSES is one of the most alluringly weird albums in the history of the genre--an hour-long ode to break-ups and suicide that mixes acoustic guitars and synthesizers with metallic power chords, and lush choral harmonies with a lead vocalist who sounds like he died sometime before the recording process began. That last bit is meant as a compliment; if you're going to attempt an eleven-minute suicide dirge like the title track, you better be either Leonard Cohen or dead, and Type O's Peter Steele has a bit of both in him.For most of BLOODY KISSES, though, Steele and crew come alive as pop studio experimentalists in a field dominated by anti-pop, anti-studio shredders. "Christian Woman" is a three-part epic that ebbs and flows with a slow metal groove, pretty background vocals, synthesized strings, and a morose lead voice that spells out a story of sex, death and Jesus. "Too Late: Frozen" places a bright pop chorus over chord changes that echo Bruce Springsteen's "Tunnel Of Love." There's a surf-y organ line buried in "Blood & Fire." The best pop joke of them all, if that's what it is, is a heavily psychedelic cover of Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze"; try listening to the song (which is done straight) while reading the lyric sheet (which is not). | |||||||||||||||
Reviews  The "Drab Four" Strike Back...Review created: 11/10/07 by:  This record saw New York's Type O Negative move away from the more hardcore and punk tinged sound of their first album, and basically went Goth. And then some. Pete Steele's dark humour and obsession with sex and death have never been more apparent than on this record, especially the incredible first track, "Christian Woman". There has never been a better opening track on a metal record! There are still elements of the NYHC scene in some of the tunes on here, like "Kill All The White People" and "We Hate Everyone". The tongue in cheek humour of the Drab Four is also in evidence in their version of the Isley Brothers' classic "Summer Breeze". Type O turn this paean to love, happiness and the summer into a Mogadon slow dirge, although you do get the feeling Steele is pissing himself laughing behind your back. This is a record for people who wear black and think that bats are cute. If you love Slipknot and things of that ilk, it ain't for you! It's painfully slow, endlessly drawn out and absolutely ESSENTIAL in any self respecting metal or goth fan's collection. BUY THIS! Review ID: 10000000004560167 Was this review helpful?
