October Rust is the fourth studio album by American gothic metal band Type O Negative. It was released in 1996. This is the first album with Johnny Kelly credited as the band's drummer, although programmed drums are used on the album. October Rust has more ballads and less of the doom metal sound of previous or subsequent albums. It also features a cover of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl.” It is the first of the band's albums with a "joke intro"; in this case, "Bad Ground", which is 38 seconds of low-level buzzing, meant to sound as if one or more audio leads is incorrectly plugged into the input jacks of an amplifier. Tracks 2 and 15 are humorous untitled spoken word intros and outros to the album, respectively, with the band downplaying the recording of the album. Another production technique employed on the album is the use of very abrupt endings and segues to a few of the songs, heard on the tracks "Green Man", "Red Water", and "Haunted".

I enjoyed this more than the previous Type O Negative album, but it isn't doing anything all that unique. It's also way too long. Cut out 30 minutes and it would be better. Not much, but better. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.
This is generally pretty good, but I'm still of the belief that every Type O Negative album is like 20 minutes longer than it should be. I feel like very few of their songs actually justify their lengths, so every listening experience, no matter how great the highs are, just ends up feeling like I'm trapped in the goth dimension for thirty millennia. I think I like the /idea/ of Type O Negative's music more than I actually like their music. Does that make sense? I dunno. 3/5.
Miksi tältä bändiltä on useampi levy? ei tämä kovin ihmeellistä ole ja ysärin ylipituudesta kärsii tämäkin. 2/5
