The Best Album Ever

[Trev]

I think just in terms of how many listens they've gotten from me it'd be Master of Puppets or Ocean Machine. If I was really pushed for one I'd go with MoP, simply because it was the first proper metal album I got and blew my head off when I first heard it

Impossible to choose though, I'd probably have a completely different answer tomorrow

Re: the live album thing, isn't it a bit pointless as Live After Death is the only acceptable answer? Plus, someone's going to make a mockery of it by picking Live And Dangerous.

Ocean Machine is brilliant. In fact that trio of City, OM and Infinity is something special.

Fair point.

MOP is way overrated, though my 15 yr old self if asked would vehemently disagree. Type O's 'Bloody Kisses' is better than OR but I love that too.

Bloody Kisses and October Rust are about on a par for me. They have their distinct vibes,  both of which are pretty much perfect.

I felt the same for a long time but I think OR just about beats BK.  But yeah they are so distinct that it is a matter of mood to change preference.

I picked up Bloody Kisses in a charity shop 5 years ago, having never listened to Type O Negative before. I remember enjoying Christian Woman and (Black no. 1?) but I was fairly unimpressed with the rest of it. I actually can't remember any other songs from the album other than Kill all the White people, which I thought was shit.

I'm surprised to see this album rated so highly. Must give it another go.

It's an odd one as it stops and starts a lot. Riffs jump and change and songs veer off in a new direction with no warning. Its actually a mess in that regard. But then after a few listens when you realise the riffs all fucking rule and you get used to the songs jumping about and you stop noticing how all over the gaff it is structurally, its sheer brilliance sinks in. Stick with it!

The version I listen to is the digipak one, think it was a limited release. It dumps all the comedy bits & skits, adds Suspended In Dusk and plays like a more 'serious' album. Works much better, the comedy stuff is cringeworthy.

Plus, 'Summer Breeze' is on it too as well as 'Frozen'. Plenty to enjoy on BK.

Ya, I was the same and gave it away not long after buying it years ago. Became reacquainted with it in McLove's car over the years and now like it. None of their stuff would be in consideration for this though.

RIP carbro.

Bloody kisses was bit of a let down for me when kill all the white people came on. Those hardcore type songs they do are quite shit imo. Tbh I don't think they released anything as good as October rust. I absolutely hated that dead again album.
