One of the best bands of their time.

There's a certain amount of there being a difference between 'gothic' and 'goth' music, with Type O Negative being frequently evoked as a large example of the latter. 'Gothic' would be characterized by the romantic, Victorian image that many people associate with the term, epitomized by the sort of thing you'd see in Cradle Of Filth's aesthetic, or some other band like Theatres Des Vampires. But 'goth' seems to be a term more frequently associated with what goth was instead of what it has recently become: an extension of punk focused on darkness, depression, and some level of wry romanticism. Type O Negative embodies that New York Goth flavor above any other band I've heard.Read full review...

Review - Slow, Deep And Hard

Before Type O Negative would make a name for themselves with their gloom/goth rock/metal, they released 'Slow, Deep and Hard.' Opener "Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity" is a 12-minute rant from frontman Pete Steele about cheating girlfriends and the heartache that goes with it, while "Xero Tolerance" continues this with killing the girlfriend's new boyfriend, and "Prelude to Agony" finishes all this up with killing the cheating girlfriend. Other songs like "Untermensch" and "Glass Walls of Limbo" deal with topics of hatred and introspection, and the final track, "Gravitational Constant" sums up the entire album with a tale of suicide. The catchy yet heavy gloom/goth/whatever songs bleed into one another, making "Slow, Deep, and Hard" more than an album and the tracks more than just songs--it makes everything, the entire concept of what Type O (and mainly Pete Steele) stand for.Read full review...

Raw, in your face, not for the easily offended...

This album is classic Type O, and not for the easily offended. If you're a true type O fan, you get it. If not, well... I personally love this album, but I can't tell you how many people didn't realize it was Type O. This is not your polished, over produced, by the numbers, conventional american metal. This is metal at its roots, and it's freaking awesome. Raw and in your face, and the lyrics are hilarious.Read full review...

Recommended for Type O Collection.

First album of one of my influences in the music world. Was supposed to originally be a Carnivore album, but they weren't together at the time. I actually enjoy this album a lot. It deals with a lot of emotion and pain. Growing up listening to the band, it was this CD that got me hooked.Read full review...

Very slow, deep, & hard!

There could not have been a better follow up to Carnivore. This cd has the elements of Carnivore's aggression but hints of what Type O Negative would be loved for. It is a must!
