The lyrics on this album are just appalling and the songwriting has no love or artistry about it. A lot of people like Peter's humour and his sardonic take on things - I find it outrageously foolish and not a little embarrassing.
Tracks like 'Anesthesia' and the instrumental 'Drunk in Paris' are great, but don't make up for the foolish knucklehead songs like the homophobic 'I like Goils' or the infantile cover of 'Angry Inch'. This album escaped the unholy destruction of 'Dead Again', but there's not much to like about this one either. You can't kill that guy, but my friend and I sure smashed the shit out of the crappy album. Unfortunately, he left his musical legacy on a deep, deep low. The title track is a sad reminder that his days were numbered. I think Peter Steele was so emotionally dishevelled at this point that any greatness that I personally found in the music was long since gone. In all honesty, I can't remember this album very well, because my friend and I burnt and destroyed our copies in a flaming ritual in his backyard many years ago. Requiem's Unsuccessfully Coping with the Ranking of Type O Negative's Albums from Infidelity to Druidess (worse to best). Yet I've always found them a mixed bag, and it's time they were dealt with properly in the place they (mostly) belong - the gothic metal forum. One of the most popular gothic metal bands of all time, with 'Bloody Kisses' apparently selling over a million copies and Peter Steele gracing covers from Metal Hammer to Playgirl.
