Bloody Kisses

I've never chosen to listen to them before. Goth/metal/rock band. Very vampiric. Interesting album.

Surprisingly melodic metal with flashes of grunge, and do I hear some shoegaze in there as well? A more compelling mixture of genres than much of the metal on the actual list.

Not my cup of tea...

One of the cornerstones of gothic metal and the first peak in Type O Negative's discography. Along with Paradise Lost, they gave this genre its shine in the 90s, renewing and making even more oppressive the original gothic rock of the previous decade

While hearing Black No. 1 I clearly remember the gothmetalheads going wild on this on the dancefloor in my younger years. Especially the ladies were particularly fond of Peter Steele. As then I can't fathom what the appeal was. Still can't actually. For me it is all over the place and no real point of reference.

My brother had this album on CD back when we were young. I couldn't stand it back then, and still can't. I don't care whether or not they are consiously being tongue-in-cheek with their sound and lyrics; it still sounds like a band that is massively constipated.

4/10. It's a good thing these guys say they don't care what I think, because I didn't enjoy this music very much. Like, the summer breeze cover was fun because it was so unexpected and different, but I think Gothic metal just isn't for me.

Bruh. 3/10

It's hard to tell just how "in on it" they are with their own inherent silliness, but it really does put out an unmatched vibe that mostly makes up for the bloat.

Yeah, this is right up my alley. I think it is a hair bloated, but it makes up for it in the vibe.

Not only do Type O go for broke in length, they keep it seamless. The project's uniformly campy, but everything else is dynamic goth bliss.

I don’t know that I need anymore early 90s metal, thanks

It's a good thing that they don't care what I think, because I think that they are kind of shitty

Kinda peak self-important Goth, so dark, so serious. I don't mind it as music, though.

in the garden of eden kinda vibe. daddy chill. 11 minute songs and you're not Mars Volta? please.

Well it’s my own submission, why wouldn’t I give it a 5/5? Type O Negative was one of those underrated genius bands imo. They had an ear for great music and every song is just dripping with sarcasm, little winks at the camera etc, all while making you wonder if they actually are serious. I think whoever described them as 50% Sabbath, 50% Beatles kinda got it right. You can hear both influences in there really clearly once you know. And the first few songs on this album are just all-time. 5/5.
