My relationship with Type O Negative has always been troubled. Doom and Gothic Metal are some of my favorite genres, and Type O Negative practically invented the later (despite what people say, I am firmly of the opinion they have NEVER played the former). The thing about these genres is that they are known for being moody, melancholic, sombre, etc. Type O Negative, rather than representing these traits, are more so a parody of them.
Most of their songs are filled with tongue in cheek humor, sarcasm, overly vulgar sexuality, and Peter Steele’s ever so annoying “sensual tough guy” persona. It’s like if gym jocks tried making Gothic Metal. The joke interludes found on many of their albums send a pretty clear message they don’t really take anything too seriously.
Anyway, as for this album… Most of the music is pretty good. Red Water is great, even, with some actually melancholic and doomy atmosphere. Far too often, these songs are overlong and filled with all the annoying tropes of the band I mentioned before. The gothic guitar melodies and echo effects are usually quite nice, and Peter sounds good for the most part, but he still falls into parody territory too often.
It’s just a band that doesn’t sit well with me.

One of my most listened-to albums ever. The weakest songs on this are more beautiful than most songs that rank best of all time. I could not possibly have a higher opinion of an album than I have of this one.

96년 순딩한 고딩학생 때 tape로 이 형님들의 1집을 듣고 내 아이디 끝을 type으로 정한 이유. 피터스틸은 가고 없지만 여전히 나의 베스트를 증명하는 앨범에 댓글을 안 남긴 거에 깜짝 놀라 남기는 코멘트. 모든게 베스트는 아니지만, 이 앨범에 베스트 아닌게 뭐가 있나 싶기도... 뒤늦은 RIP...

신비로운 감성으로 가득찬 재기발랄한 앨범. 나쁘지 않은 트랙들로 채워져 있다. 다만, 이 앨범을 듣고 Gothic의 우울함이 느껴지는 사람이라면 이미 우울증을 앓고 있거나 사춘기 또는 갱년기일 가능성이 높지싶다.

My Girlfriend's Girlfriend 가 본작의 대표곡이고 Love You to Death 와 닐영 커버곡 Cinnamon Girl 도 주요곡. 당시 피터스틸 성님은 거대한 체격과 건장하고 섹시한 상남자 이미지로 어필 했었는데 뭐 그리 급하다고 일찍 떠난건지

Type O Negative's best work IMO. So many gems in one record = all too much.

상당히 깔끔하고 좀더 대중적인(?) 사운드로 진화한 느낌입니다. 개인적으로 묘한 중독성의 7번트랙을 특히 좋아합니다
