It's no coincidence that Type O Negative have released their best album following their departure from Roadrunner Records. They don't have to rely on writing a single or a radio hit for the label to deem them a success. Gone are the sugar coated pop goth metal tracks of their previous three releases and in their place are massively produced lumbering doom anthems.
The first thing that strikes you with this album is just how heavy it is without it actually being extreme metal. Type O have managed to combine the cinematic happiness of Devin Townsend, the low tunings of Torche and Cathedral and the good time riffage of Queens Of The Stone Age.
'September Sun' does exactly what it says on the tin. It is dark like September but sunny like August. Old school Hammond Organ weaves between crushing Doom riffs and is peppered with Emperor style horn bursts, but it never stops being happy... yes, this is a happy Type O Album.
The fourteen minute 'These Three Things' comes off like Iron Monkey playing Polyphonic Spree songs. There simply isn't a weak song on the album. From the Danzig esque punk metal of 'Halloween in Heaven' to the stoner sludge of 'An Ode to Locksmiths' this really is the first true essential album of the year.

Another chance to own this brilliant album on vinyl if you missed out on the green edition last year. This time it's red vinyl and it comes in a big red box complete with a good quality bonus LP - "Live at Bizarre Festival 1999" featuring five of the old favourites. There's a 12-page 12" size booklet that features the lyrics and artwork from the album. The box set also includes a DVD of four songs from a live show in 2007, the videos for The Profit Of Doom and September Sun and an 15 minute interview with the band. They've also thrown in the whole album in MP3 format and a t-shirt. Don't get too excited about the shirt though - it's awful!
Overall, a nice set that I would have appreciated all the more had I not already got this album on creepy green vinyl and had they thrown in a better t-shirt.

This is everything I want from Type O Negative. Long, meandering train-of-thought tracks full of sludgy, messy riffs, distorted bass, about fifteen types of vocals and the occasional bit of sitar. Across these ten tracks Type O Negative prove they are a force to be reckoned with after 2003's lackluster Life Is Killing Me, punking their way through 77-odd minutes of metal, speed and an undeniable vitality, despite the album's misleading title. No prank intros, no filler instrumentals, no covers (save for a cheeky sampling of "Hey Jude") and crucially no drum machine. Yes, we're finally able to hear what Johnny Kelly smashing skins actually sounds like, and while he's no Sal Abruscato, he's more than capable.
Another reviewer said that this is a very happy Type O record, and I have to agree, though it seems a strange thing to level at such a willfully morbid outfit. There is a joy to almost every song on this album that eclipses past moroseness. Gone are the laments of "Everything Dies" or "Burnt Flowers Fallen" (from the band's Magnum Opus, October Rust) in favour of the bouncy riffing on "Tripping A Blind Man" or the Eastern-laced outro on single "The Profits Of Doom". Musically, you probably know what to expect: a lot of bent notes, strained guitar, fuzzy bass, O Steele's chanted military-style vocals against the straight up singing of Kenny Hickey, all driven by the doom-metal-cum-crust-punk drumming and instantly hooky and memorable melodies. October Rust is one of the catchiest metal records I've had the pleasure to listen to, but the songs on here give it a run for its money, many of them sticking in your head after only a listen or two. The quickest album I've got into in along time.
Type O seem to be in a league of their own. Despite their long history, there's not much in the way of imitators, which helps each new release feel fresh. I waited eagerly for a new album before hearing the news this morning that Pete has died. He sings "I can't believe I died last night/ oh God I'm dead again" on this album's title track, and with a quick thought spared for that prank in 2005, today that lyric bears a cruel, almost comic relevance that I imagine wouldn't be lost on the man, given he and his compatriots' blacker-than-black sense of humour. As it is, Dead Again now stands as a swansong for this bloody great band, and for the loss of Type O Negative and Peter Steele, the metal world has become a much less fun place. I'll miss this band more than I would, I think, any other
