Type O Negative--Slow, Deep and Hard (1991/Roadrunner)
Rating--5.9
Unsuccessfully....Infidelity--RealAudio
Still a bit punkish as this stage of the band's development, as it won't fully venture into the doom/goth world until
the 'Bloody Kisses' release. A lot of tongue-in-cheek antics here, both with the music and (especially) the song titles.
"Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity" has a romping (though often censored) chorus, and the
Sabbathy chords of "Prelude to Agony" stand out. "Gravitational Constant" has a nice flow,
and "Glass Walls of Limbo" has a great medieval, monk-chant feel.
Better results the next time out; this one
is probably a must addition for only the huge Type O fans.
