Album Description Dead Again is Type O Negative's seventh studio album, and after a four year lapse between releases, a much-anticipated return to the sonic bombast that the Brooklyn-based band is famous for. Clocking in at over 77 minutes, Dead Again is a 10-song musical journey through the darkest depths of the human condition. Love, loss, insanity, morality, mayhem, your secret dreams and worst nightmares are all included in the Type O Negative formula created by the self-taught professor of emotional chemistry, Peter Steele. Recorded and Produced by Steele and keyboardist Josh Silver, the sound of darkness is prophetic, the rock is hard and the screams are real. In the words of Grigori "The Mad Monk" Rasputin, whom the Russian nobility unsuccessfully attempted to kill on numerous occasions for his influence on the last family of Czars, "When the bell tolls three times, it will announce that I have been killed...Pray Czar of Russia. Pray." With past gold and platinum albums under their belts, the bells have definitely not tolled for Type O Negative. Reaffirmed and resolute, they bring you news from a darker place, a place of infinitely organized chaos where the living cannot be swayed from their infinite circle of creation and destruction. We are born, we live, we fuck it all up, we strive to forgive and be forgiven, and we are reborn. Type O Negative are on the brink of a rebirth. But first they are Dead Again! Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsTON returns with a powerful album in "Dead Again" Eddie Lancekick | Pacific Northwest | 03/19/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Type O Negative returns with their seventh studio album titled "Dead Again". With this album, Peter Steele and his crew of doom metal deities deliver a very solid album that is diverse in both its musicianship and themes. I won't cover every song on the album, but will note that if you are a Type O Negative fan like me and haven't picked up this album yet, you're late! The title track grabbed me immediately as it starts out with a slow and sonic brooding that drags along with an ethereal soundscape. At this time I'd like to say, "hat's off" to one of the most underrated keyboard/pianists of the metal family in Josh Silver. Josh's ability to create far reaching and intricate sounds from his fingertips that really add a lot to this music has never ceased to amaze me. "Dead Again" shortly leaves the slow buildup for fast paced fallout of a chorus that has Peter Steele's vocals setting the base for what will be a great foundation for the rest of the album to build upon. Track three is "Profit of Doom" and is a recipe for raucous guitars and dark, doom-laden sounds. Track Four is "September Sun" and is a wonderful ballad that starts out with a great little piano piece that leads into some soulful and slow vocals that eventually thunder into an emotional chorus of triumph. Bass, lead guitar, vocals, percussion and keyboards are all magnificent on this track. The album rounds out the ten tracks with "Hail and Farewell to Britain" which is another masterful mid-tempo song that has some of the best dual guitar work I've heard in a while. The last minute of the track is led into with some harrowing recordings that you will have to listen for yourself. Type O Negative didn't change much of their formula, but they didn't have to. This album shows a superb effort from the band to create, play and produce excellently written songs that are backed up with a musical expertise that in my humble opinion, still puts them several length's ahead of the pack. Two of the songs clock in at over ten minutes long, but this progressive approach is fine considering the talent these guys emit with their studio albums, which of course always have covers tinged with tones of green." An intense release EerieVonEvil | The Rabbit Hole | 03/13/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not since October Rust has Type O Negative sounded this fresh and vibrant. Free of the personal demons that created the themes for World Coming Down and Life Is Killing Me(Great albums), Peter Steele and company deliver 77 mins of slow, dirgy sabbath-like metal, with a LOT of punk thrown in this time around(Dead Again, Halloween In Heaven). Kenny does a lot of screaming on this album too...like a lot. It also has its mellow points as well with September Sun. She Burned Me Down is almost like a sequel to Burnt Flowers Fallen, a great track. As a whole, the album will stand the test of time just like their other releases. Great metal record. Without a doubt, if you even consider yourself a fan then you will want this album. TYPE O NEGATIVE DEAD AGAIN Get it and be happy." Quite Simply, A Masterpiece. Andrew Estes | Maine | 04/03/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's been a long time since Type O Negative have been on the scene. Too long, as a matter of fact. 2003 saw the release of Life Is Killing Me and the band seemed to all but vaporize since. Rest assured, however, the boys from Brooklyn are back, and frontman Peter Steele has gone through enough of a personal Hell to inspire one of the best albums of their career. "Dead Again," Type O's seventh studio album sounds just as fresh as the classic Bloody Kisses or October Rust, leaving no fan disappointed in it's wake.
At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I must say that this album totally blew my mind. Listening to it, I get the same feelings I did when I took my first listen of Bloody Kisses oh so many years ago. It's hard to believe how long these guys have been at it, and that they have yet to get stale or boring. Whether it's the triumphant opening title track, or the gloomy ballad, "September Sun," Type O Negative touch on all their previous material here, while still keeping it relevant. Others like "Tripping A Blind Man," "An Ode To Locksmiths" and "She Burned Me Down" are the cream of the crop, with their punch-in-the-gut riffs that bring back old school Black Sabbath (something that Type O are the best at). Even a song like "These Three Things," which clocks in at over fourteen minutes, is impossible not to enjoy. And if I'm not mistaken, I can hear a bit of confidence in Steele's voice like never before. For the first time, he truly sounds like he is releasing his demons through his music. "Dead Again" is quite possibly the most accessible Type O Negative record available. Granted, you're not going to be hearing this stuff on the radio much, but if you were ever a Type O Negative fan, there is surely something here for you. They are one of the few bands that can create an album that matches their earlier work without it sounding like a shameless rehash. This is easily the most inspired Type O have been in ten years. Everyone who cares for this band owes it to themselves to own a copy of "Dead Again."" |
