Search - Type O Negative :: Least Worst of

Awesome B-sides, edited classic songs

"This album is great, and definitely worth the buy, but don't expect the full Type O experience. The unreleased songs "12 Black Rainbows," "It's Never Enough," and "Stay Out of my Dreams" are worth the price alone. I don't understand how Stay Out of my Dreams didn't make the cut for World Coming Down. Not gloomy enough? Maybe. I personally consider it better than most of the songs on WCD.



Anyway, concerning the rest of the album, a few of the classics were shortened in length to make the 80 minute time limit on the CD. Specifically "Everyone I Love is Dead," "Black No. 1," "Christian Woman," "Love You to Death," and "Everything Dies" (Black No. 1 and Christian Woman being almost halved from their original lengths).



While I would recommend this as an album for any aspiring Type O fan (this is where I started, after all), and definitely for the unreleased songs, I wouldn't really recommend it as a compilation album to keep in your car to listen to all the classics. That is, unless you want to listen to edited songs. I, personally, would rather burn a CD with the original songs on it for that stuff."
