What's your opinions on Type O?

I used to be obsessed with them. Now they're just alright. I'm not really digging the new stuff. But CD's like Bloody kisses, and October Rust were just epic.

Peter Steele's voice is just incredible. And they're so melodic.

Whatcha think?

I don't like them that much, although they have a few songs that got stuck in my head like "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend", "Black N°1" or "I Don't Wanna Be".

Black No1 is alright. Other than that i havent heard too much other stuff.

A bit too slow for me. Doesnt mean its shit though

[Necromancer]

Well it's kind of a mixture of Gothic and Doom, with a little Industrial to complete the mix. It's not always entirely slow.

Type O don't get enough playtime for me as they deserve but I quite like most of their albums. I have no problems with their new stuff either. Their "live" album The Origin Of The Feces is a hilarious idea too.

I absolutely love Type O, even though Pete Steele is a moody, negative, miserable old git I just love the atmosphere of their music, it always has a really intense passion about it, whether that takes the form of anger, or love. A lot of their stuff makes me laugh too, it's just stupidly hilarious!

My fave albums? It's a toss up between 'Bloody Kisses' and 'World Coming Down'. I also really love their first effort 'Slow, Deep And Hard' and the live one, I like 'October Rust' but that's generally seen as their 'commercial' album. I've not yet heard the latest one, and didn't think much of the one before that.

Recently though I've been listening to their best of album a lot, plus a compilation of covers of their songs, most of which are pretty damn good. They seem to have gone wrong at some point with their last two albums; if they can work out where and can improve it, bring back the old Type O, that would be fucking brilliant, but if they can't I guess they'll just end up going a bit shit like various other bands have tended to after a while

I've only got Dead Again and Bloody Kisses, but I think they're pretty good. I've listened to Black No. 1 many times over... I definitely want to check out their older stuff.

[Malephar]

You should, all their early stuff is really good. Check out 'Slow, Deep And Hard', 'October Rust' and 'World Coming Down', all are brilliant

Alright, thank you

[Malephar]

You're welcome

I think they're brilliant on many levels. And the fact that they aren't 100% serious all the time is quite refreshing in the current Doom scene.

Plus, Peter Steele is just... I can't think of a word that sums him up... I guess "awesome" works.
