This is a good album if you want to introduce somebody to metal

Review by: Torquemada

"Bloody Kisses" is more melodic, than their debut-album. The most songs are a little bit shorter and you can hear, that the guys move another step away from old Thrash-Metal-Times. Only the song "Kill all the white people" is a true Thrash-Grenade and the guys kill like Pete to "Carnivore"-"Retaliation"-times.
The rest of "Bloody Kisses" is very nice, but sometimes a little bit boring Gothic Metal (like on the titletrack, Blood and Fire and a few more).
But on the other hand, listen to the absolute hits "Christian Woman", "Black No. 1" or "We hate everyone". Great songs!

Pete's voice on the whole album sounds totally great.

Though all these positive things I can tell about this record, I have to say, that I prefer "Slow, deep and hard" because of its harder and faster songs.
But I think this is a question of the personal taste.

I still remember the first time I heard Type O Negative. I was sitting in a van and "Christian Woman" came on the radio, probably the first and only time it ever got any airplay! I also remember scoffing at the "effect" the guy had on his voice in a lame attempt to sound spooky. The song was weird for my ears at the time. It sounded like metal, but was too slow. The choir aaah's were weird and out place. What the hell was this about?

By fateful coincidence, a few months later a friend comes over and pops in this cassette tape. Sometimes it takes a while for things to stew in your mind. Stuff you thought you hated the first time sound like familiar old friends after a brief period of distance. That's what happened with this album. "Oh hey, I've heard this before... I remember this!"

That was that. After that day, my best friend in junior high school and I listened to this album over and over, ad infinitum. We could never get enough of it.

The music has been described by many people, so I will not repeat here what has been better said elsewhere. What I'd like to do is explain WHY Type O Negative strike such a deep chord with the male as well as the female audience. True fans are fanatics. This is because TON is not just about good music, it's about a deep and profound emotional connection.

As the '80s morphed into the feminazi-dominated '90s, Peter Steele was the perfect vessel for the injured male psyche to express its sorrow. A hulking, muscle-bound tower of a man with a booming, unnaturally deep voice, he sang songs about betrayal, devotion bordering on the religious, naked masculine pain. Here is a quintessential Peter Steele line from an earlier album. While screaming profanities and wishing death at a woman who has cheated on him, he lets this out on us:

"His tongue down your throat,
His hand up your skirt--
Yeah, I'm a man...
But still it hurts."

This album marked Peter Steele's emergence as a more serious and mature songwriter. It was the jarring and dramatic departure from the Carnivore-tinged TON debut. This was a journey which culminated in "World Coming Down," in retrospect a musical progression which was best described as the ever deeper entwining of Black Sabbath and the Beatles.

Peter Steel will be sorely fucking missed.
