Type O fans are really grateful that you made this video reaction of one of the best and unique bands every in the goth/doom metal genre. He especially inspired many bass singers like me to use our deep voices as an advantage for this spooky genre.
Rest in Peace Peter Steele, we will all miss you and will remember forever.
Where can I listen to your music?
Dude I was so psyched to see she did this video, I can’t believe I’m just seeing it now. TONs probably in my top 5 all time fav bands
Type O Negative were a special band. So much humor and intelligence. Almost every album had a cover where they made the song totally their own. 'Cinnamon Girl' was the cover on this one.
This album initially took some time to grow on me with doom taking more of a backseat rather than being the driving force like in the albums before this one. I wasn't ready for something more mature but the album grew on me.
I didn't realize Cinnamon Girl was a cover! It definitely fit in really well on the album. I'll have to check out the original version.
@@mollyesanborn its a neil young song
This is masterpiece, period.
It is such a fascinating album! I've never heard a blend of elements quite like this before.
Yes
You are 💯 this. Is soo good 😎
Wolf Moon especially, period 😏

I bought this in 96 having never heard the band. Because in an interview at the time Peter Steele said he was into Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance and described the album as "lush." Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. Total masterpiece of an album.
You mentioned some other great bands: Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance and Lush.
This album is a staple every autumn season.
i absolutely refuse to listen to anything else in october! i have each of their albums in a disc changer that plays 24\7 in the garage all month lol
A lot of that distorted heavy sound is Peter Steele, the vocalist, also the bassist. He distorted and used Chorus on his bass, tuned to B, and basically played the rhythm guitar on it. Incredible stuff.
October Rust is in my top 3 albums of all time.It's absolutely gorgeous and mesmerising from beginning to end.
Would love to know your top 5 albums of ALL TIME.
I've always considered Type O to be The Beatles of goth rock, and there's a reason why they had the nickname of "the drab four". My favorite band of all time, no other has consistently moved me so much as them. Peters vocals are incredible, there is a lot of personal pain he expresses in so many of his songs like Red Water which is about so many deaths in his family and how Christmas is painful for him because of the losses he's experienced (the band never played that song after it was recorded because it brought up too many painful memories for Pete). Good goth I could go on for days about this band I love them so much, and this album in particular has so many memories for my own life when I was dealing with surviving cancer (20 years ago on the 10th of this October!) and the winter during my months of recovery afterward. I was 19 and this album carried me through so much, hard to put into words everything which was going on at the time but the music fully represents it all for me. Thanks for covering it, I really enjoyed your perspective of each track✌️
Thanks for sharing, I do agree about his vocals. He has a way of channeling a lot of power and emotion with his voice while keeping the delivery very touching. A lot of other bands I've been reacting to are a lot more forceful and aggressive, and there's a tenderness to his voice that really makes Type O Negative stand out. Definitely a band I want to hear more from!
@@mollyesanborn nailed it with your take on the vocals! I also appreciate how you pointed out the other elements of the band like Kenny Hickey's guitar tones and techniques he's amazing, as well as the keyboardist Josh Silver and his atmospheric additions to every song they are such a unique band. Looking forward to more reactions of their work, I stayed up a bit later than I was planning on just to finish this vid so I'm gonna snooze but thanks again for checking out this album it's even better on multiple listens when you dig into the lyrics and how they relate to Peter at the time of writing (btw Pete also plays the bass in every song and that bass tone is cool as hell in its own way, you can hear it well in Be My Druidess when the intro riff sounds like its from a bass guitar but that's actually Kenny, and the bass comes in after the 16 bar measure which makes it sound so full it's awesome). ANYWAY I GOTTA SHUT UP AND SLEEP haha take care dude your channel is great cuz you're real af and there's no bullshit, keep it up🙏
@@cloudbloom I appreciate you!! Hope you sleep well :)
Thank you for actually reviewing music and not copy/pasting what everyone else is doing. Great channel and I hope you continue to grow!
Thanks, I appreciate that! :)
@@mollyesanborn Keep on rocking Molly, your so great!
Octobers Rust to me is the greatest album ever written by my personal all time favorite band.
YES, such an amazing album!!
@@mollyesanborn cannot wait for the review on other albums. World Coming Down hits me hardest.
My time has come, long live October Rust I was one of the many who recommended this🙏 thanks for the reaction I'm looking forward to this!
Nice, thanks for suggesting it! It's an album I've had on my list for the longest time now, I'm glad I've finally given Type O Negative a listen.
"The Table's been set for but Seven, Just last year I dined with Eleven" Pete wrote Red Water (Xmas Mourning) about how one year he had a lot of family die between Xmas's and how it depressed him. He was a great Lyricist. I never met him before his death sadly but he was always appreciative of his fans. I can say I miss him and Type O more and more each year. One thing you'll notice as you delve deeper into Type O is a lot of their songs have abrupt end's. I think they did it just to mess with people haha. They had a great sense of dark humour.
my mom introduced me to TON in the mid 90s and they became my absolute favorite. i never really cared to see any live concerts until i found out they had a show coming up near me.... unfortunately we lost peter before the show 😪
Just gave this classic a spin while raking leaves in my front yard and saw your video pop up. Glad you enjoyed the journey. What a vibe this masterpiece creates.
Masterpiece ! It's crazy how often and randomly "Love You To Death", "Everything Dies", and "Life is Killing Me" just pop up in my mind. Type O were really something else. Really important for pre-teen me, and still
Man. I've been listening to this album for 20 years. You pretty much nailed all the main points for each song. I like your format. You have a new subscriber. Good job!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! I've been addicted to this album since filming the reaction, great stuff. I'll have to check out the rest of their albums now.
Life is Killing Me and Dead Again are 2 of my favorite albums. Theyre masterpieces
Bloody Kisses for me.
Glad you got to discover the greatest band who put out the greatest album, October Rust. I love finding new discoverers of Type O and sending them to the drummer Johnny just to let him know that Peter is still loved and Appreciated even after his passing in 2010
I love Type O, certainly in concept, by far and away their best record is Bloody Kisses. It's just 70 odd minutes of perfection, gorgeous hooks, chunky killer riffs, I'd say the gothy elements are better integrated as a part of the song. The first album is also great, more of a continuation of his previous hard-core project. But yeah, please please give Bloody Kisses a listen. Never been outright surpassed. Lots of sex noises in the transition tracks though, don't know if they're on the streaming platforms but probably just something to bear in mind.
I'll certainly have to give Bloody Kisses a listen now! I loved how they blended so much on this album, I'm excited to hear what else they've got in their discography.
You're wrong. Bloody Kisses is great fun, but October Rust is one of the best produced albums of the era. I know you think that is just like, my opinion or something, but you are wrong. Get an Ouija board and ask Peter Steele yourself. He will tell you.
@@brockmiller574 okay but which one has more moaning?
@@willhargreaveshf well, obviously Bloody Kisses because of Machine Screw.... But prior to that would have been Slow Deep and Hard... Both are great fun. However, Peter said I'm right on my Ouija board last night. He also says all the best red heads are where he is.
@@mollyesanborn it's about time you come around to one of the best bands to come out of the 90s... please 🙏 hurry up and react to bloody kisses 😘💕😘... LoL 😂😆😂
I snuck backstage on the World Coming Down tour and got to meet Pete, shake his HUGE hand, and sit down with Kenny and Johnny for a bit. It was SURREAL. I was so gobsmacked I barely said anything the whole time. I still have those three's signatures on my cd liner (Josh Silver had retired for the evening). One of the highlights of my life. Rest in Peace Greenman!
Peter Steele,one of one,hearing this album takes me back ,was 16 when this came out, and man o man there aren't hardly words to describe how albums like this and the other artists from this era make you feel,very deep and rich,warm and comfortable,all of it.
This album is the heavy version of The Cure’s Disintegration. It is a masterpiece. I got to see them live many times and meet them all. They were amazing.
I've loved this album since it came out, and you've pointed out some things I hadn't noticed or thought about. You are highly observant, and analytical. Thank you for doing this. You're the best🖤💚🖤💚
Omg I wish I could hear this album again for the first time. I used to see ToN in magazines like Metal Edge and whatnot, and they looked like just a cool metal band with Peter Steele and his chain strap for his bass. I bought October Rust first and it was so not what I was expecting but I fell in love with it.
This album was not what I was expecting either. For some reason I had a more futuristic, electronic based idea of it in my head and was caught by surprise when the whole gothic/Old English sound to it came on. Definitely a unique sound though, I really dig it though.
This is the album I put on when the leaves start to change and a cool breeze is in the air. It is perfect for driving on windy overcast cloudy autumn days.
Fun fact, Peter Steele is also known as "The Barry White" of metal, cuz he was very tall and very muscular with a very deep voice & wrote songs all designed to make the girls swoon.
Excellent review, as always! One of my favorite albums and perfect time of year to do the review. Your reviews are always spot on!
This was wonderful! I have to go give this a full listen for sure. Tis the season 🎃
Love this band, can't wait to see you dive into them more. Great band to listen to any season, but Fall most of all lol. Bloody Kisses is probably THE album for me personally but it's hard to go wrong with Type O. Great video as always 🤘
Amazing reaction, instant sub👌🏻 you described some of the characteristics and quirks of the sound so well. I love this album to death 🖤
Thanks so much! Yeah October Rust is fantastic, I love the tone across this entire album. Glad you enjoyed the reaction :)
You couldn't have picked a better album from these guys to start off with. It was also the first album I listened to by them back in 1996. It is probably their most accessible. Their follow up 'World Coming Down' is probably the most depressing heavy rock album I've ever listened to. I see you've got Sanderson on your book shelf there, you tried reading his Skyward series?
Yeah I'm really excited to hear more albums from Type O Negative now, this one was such a great first experience of them as a band. And as for Sanderson, I've only gotten into his Stormlight Archive series so far. I'll have to give the Skyward series a read once I'm done.
Saw them in Vegas during a family trip when I was 16 or 17. I was a gothy metalhead. The thing that got me was how funny Pete (lead singer/bass) was on stage. He dealt with depression but would turn it into a joke for the crowd.
1:42 That "guitar" is Peter Steele's bass. He used a ton of distortion and chorus that really pronounced the top end. Makes is tone super crunchy, but it kinda sounds like TV static whenever he's playing chords (which he does a lot; and particularly so on Love You To Death). Under any other circumstances I'd probably hate it, but he just makes it work so well, I love it
Yes! Been a huge TON fan since the mid 90s. Thanks for checking them out!
Wow, what a pleasant surprise to see Type O appear. But, I’m also not surprised we’d get to this point. A little insight on this band for your journey, is that they’re are very tongue and cheek. Peter Steele (lead vocals and bass) had a great sense of humor and you’ll see that sprinkled throughout the rest of their discography. The next album you should check out is their second album “Bloody Kisses.” R.I.P. The Green Man.
This was such a different take from bloody kisses 💋 and marked a time in their period of being in their time. Such a great album and that bad ground was the start of the intro in joke like "skip it" was on the next album (the darkest "world coming down" and "machine screw" was on bloody kisses.
Really enjoy your take on this masterpiece of an album and mind of Peter Steele. A HUGE Beatles fan he was.
Masterpiece. Possibly my favourite album ever.
October rust is a brilliant album, it's a tradition for me to listen to it in october. Bloody kisses is my favourite Type O album but they are all great. Unique band!
Not many bands similar to Type O. The vocal mix of Pete and Kenny is great, plus the trill Pete has is awesome. The deep vocals grab your attention at first. But similar to Dillinger, the more you listen, the more layers you find.
I love this album so much, its easily in my top 5 of all time and maybe even top 3. It can put a smile on my face while bringing tears to my eyes at times, often in the same song. It's just the nostalgia and melancholy of the music combined with some bittersweet memories of my youth and even in more recent years it got me through a really tough time.
This album really added that 80s kinda Depeche Mode vibe to great effect, it wouldn't have been the same without that influence on them. That old English flair you mentioned comes from one of their major influences, the Beatles. I'm sure others have pointed out that they consider their sound the Beatles meets Black Sabbath. They do some great Beatles and Sabbath covers too.
Very cool reaction and nice to see you mentioned the Shoegaze element. Pete was a big fan of My Bloody Valentine, The Cure etc
This is their best album, even though fans will choose any other albums as well.
This album is their most cohesive and melodic it's almost like a concept album. A really dark, gothic, and romantic album, also very accessible. Such a masterpiece.
Imagine they didn't have a drummer, all you hear are programmed drums.
Also Pete Steele's bass did most of the distortion in this album, he made you believe there were layers of guitars but no. All his bass.
Great bass player as well.
It's Christmas *mourning*. I also fell for that pun, lol.
Oh, what about the "I hate the morning" vocal delivery in Haunted?
Phenomenal
I'd love to have that deeeeeeep voice Pete had.
P. S.
Yeah, the comparison with my bloody valentine is valid, this album really crosses shoegaze territory.
Every type o album has a diferent feel and tone to it. This was their goth love and tragedy album basically. My favorite album is world coming down and is their most dark, depressing and self destructive in my opinion. They did not make an objectively "bad" album.
This album has been on rotation HEAVY for me the last few days. The leaves have changed color and are starting to fall, and it's been quite rainy where I live, which makes the perfect vibe for listening to this record. Great video! 🤘
Awesome band, incredible record. At the beginning, you commented on the haunting, reverberated guitar sound. That's largely thanks to Pete Steele's bass playing. He uses plenty of distortion and actually strums chords quite often, as well as individual notes. He basically plays it like rhythm guitar, a bit like Lemmy used to. Also, they tune the guitar and bass down to B.
Pete!!!! miss going to see Type O--- so many fans still wear their rock shirts
These guys are the Tool of goth metal. Like Tool they take you on a symphonic journey with every album. You're in for treat with this band.
I'm looking forward to discovering more from them!
Thats a good way to put it. They are extremely unique bands. I'm glad we still have Tool so far but I miss these guys. Happy for the memories though.
Nobody is going to swing at that softball?
So many years... will never forget this concert MASTERPIECE!
I only got into TON a few years ago, but they quickly became one of my favorite bands of all time. This album is probably my favorite one too, but they’re really all so consistently excellent. Seeing someone with such a good taste in music really appreciate/make such good observations on this album was so refreshing! You should consider reviewing Life Is Killing Me or Bloody Kisses by TON too, they’re also 10/10s imo. Thanks for this one Molly!
Aw thanks, I appreciate that! This album is indeed fantastic, I've had it on repeat since filming this reaction. I'll plan on doing some more Type O Negative albums for sure :)
YES!!! THANKS FOR THIS ONE MOLLY!!! 💚
❤thanks for watching!
One of my favorite bands, they were my first concert at the age of 11 when they opened for Ozzy along with Sepultura in April 1996 when I was in 5th grade
Nice to see you react to TON they're a great band. Great vid 😁
I'll definitely have to check out more from them now!
Awesome, you'll be glad you did 😁👍
I found Type O Negative when I was about 13 years old / 1997 and they became one of my favorites - amazing band
You definitely put me on game to this album. It's so unique & really doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard. The melodic & atmospheric nature of these songs, really drive it home for me.
Glad you enjoyed this album too! I agree it is very unique, Type O Negative has definitely carved out a very specific sound for themselves within the metal genre. I love how they have this sort of symphonic goth/medieval vibe to their music.
One of my favourite albums. Thank you!
Yeah this album is great! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
This album sounds like October/Autumn.
I love hearing your analysis of these albums I grew up with. I'd really love to hear you take on Circa Survive's album Blue Sky Noise at some point. Thanks for all you do.
I'll certainly make sure that album is on my list, I've been suggested Circa Survive by some others in the comments as well. Thank you for watching the videos, I'm glad you're enjoying them :D
Type O Negative!!! I recently started going through their whole discography after having only heard Bloody Kisses when I was a teenager years ago. Still probably my favorite record from them, but I could see October Rust jumping it with some more time
I've definitely got to give Bloody Kisses a listen now!
I love your descriptions of your feelings. You know your words.
Saw them on this album's tour. An amazing show. I literally swayed the whole time on the floor standing. Back when general admission 'seats' meant mosh pit.
Peter Steele really loved nature & the outdoors, especially the fall.
That is very palpable in the tone of this album, definitely a great autumnal listen.
One of my favorite metal albums. RIP Peter
“Underworld of Sound”. Perfect description.
Love all their albums about equally. A few took some time to grow on me but have become favorites all the same. I recommend listening to them every fall.
😂 I knew you’d love this one. I’d probably go with Bloody Kisses next, if I were you. I was actually lucky enough to see them before Peter died. It was a great, intimate little show in Pittsburgh. While we were waiting for the doors to open, Peter popped out of one of the doors, in his underwear and a tshirt, and yelled, “Get your money back!”, to the applause of the crowd. That was a great show.
Yes! Welcome! Rest easy Peter Steele 🍁🍂🍃
'Breathy' and atmospheric is how I'd describe this album (at least in a sort of haunted fall-time northeast US way). It's a bit like the distortion is being used like synth pads, and you get that wash in the transitions. Also on warmth - I think the low/muddy guitar has a lot of warmth to it, so much of this makes me feel like I'm sitting outside next to the fire when it's 50 F with a mug of chowder.
Nice how you describe that beauty...witchi , haunted , vibe to this album. kiss
OMG YOU ARE DOING MY SUGGESTION!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!
1.)
Very simple: Molly, you are the best! You analyze razor-sharp, recognize every detail and present it so enchantingly!
In fact you are a music expert! Thank you, you adorable mythical creature :-) :-)
2.)
Type o Negative is so good; not from this world. Unbelievable. If I were a woman, I would love Peter. Well... I love him like that, too, hhhahahaha.
Thanks for the kind words! And yes, Type O Negative is amazing, can't wait to hear more albums from them.
I’ve always thought of their songs as being written like classical compositions in movements with complete changes in tone, key, tempo, etc. That’s sort of the only style I think of when I think of them as there isn’t a single genre that fits properly.
I saw this band when I was 13 I think before bloody kisses even came out and unfortunately I was not prepared. I grew to love this band and never got a chance to see them again. Rip Peter
Peter Steel...RIP...thanks for your thoughts, definitely expanded mine!
One of those records that was the sound track to my life when it came out...
I would love to see what you think of bloody kisses. I feel like my favorite songs from this band are in that record.
thats a kinda brilliant thing about youtube videos...I just got to watch someone go from never hering something to being what i assume will be a life long fan within a few minutes ..their is a beauty in that
Greatest album ever made. Change my mind.
I love your holding a microphone. Very old school
Type O’s music is really good. I played it for my best friend and we both enjoyed it. We both enjoy listening to the same music
Yeah this album was really fascinating to listen to, they created this weirdly wonderful gothic world with their sound. Now I'm looking forward to hearing more from them!
IMO ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY UNDERRATED BANDS!!! I am by far from being into goth, death, metal. The only 2 bands that were like that, I actually listen to is Lacuna Coil and these guys (the drab 4). Origin and Slow, deep, and hard...if you are a true fan, you will give them a listen, but their 5 studio albums are just great!!! October Rust gets a lot of hype because it is their magnum opus and it's rare an album gets that much hype and I am all in. Do listen to bloody kisses next!!! I think, think, world coming down is my next fav but life is killing me comes in pretty close as well. First song I ever heard from these guys was blood and fire remix from the mortal kombat soundtrack. Was not until the I know what you did last summer soundtrack had summer breeze from them, and from there it was just Pete's vocals that I was like ok, I need more of this. Sad thing is it's a cover of seals and croft and was not actually Type o's song that really got my attention. The day when Pete died was such a sad day to me. This band is really something and stands out because they shown, you can infuse classic, pop, and doom and make it work in such a haunting and uneasy way like how NIN's did it back in the day and from time to time now. Love that you are getting a little dark with it, keep it coming!!!
All it took was the first (technically third) song on this album to make me fall in love with Peter Steele, and begin the journey of exploring this wonderfully talented and beautiful band ✌🤍
Type O reactions give my another kind of dopamine!! YEEESSS!!!! IV been over the moon in love with type o sinse 2015 when i had a spiritual experience first time listening to Love you to death! getting a Type o tattoo soon!! BE MY DRUIDESS!!!!! RIP The Green Man!
It's such a good album. Maybe their best.
Bloody Kisses is mandatory at this point. Excellent analysis, as usual.
Wolf moon is one of my favorite songs of all time
I had the pleasure of interviewing Peter Steele in the parking lot of City Gardens in NJ for my college radio station when the had just released Slow, Deep and Hard. I'm a large guy at 6'3" but he towered over me. He was giant. He was intelligent, engaging and cool. I had been told to not ask him about Carnivore, his previous band, but I did and he was very cool about the whole thing so I don't know why people said he didn't want to talk about it. Anyway Molly, you remind of those days because you would have fit right into the college radio/Underground music scene of the late 80's and early 90's. Definitely check out Slow, Deep and Hard.
Rest well Pete 💚🖤💚
Ahhhh, Type O Negative, a national treasure.
Oh, shite, I missed this. Amazing Album.
I'm predicting that you won't be disappointed
Type O is what you get when you combine Black Sabbath and The Beatles. Peter Steele was one of a kind. Giant man with a giant voice. Thanks for reacting to them; I enjoyed your critique, Molly!
Hey Molly, loving the videos. Not sure how good your headphones are but was wondering if it would be worth investing in some more upmarket ones so you can get all the layers. It's one thing I slept on for years and I don't know why with how much I listen to music lol. Not sure whether you have patreon or whether that buy me a coffee is the best place to send you some coin towards some.
+1 to this
Yes! My favorite album of any band of all time!
One of the greats. I'm in.
first listened to this album in 1997. It was instant obsession. It's a classic, well written album. Peter had a major reverence for women and nature, not absent of the magical aspects of paganism. These themes are throughout their discography, but none moreso on this album. It's a very unwanted romanticism, if you will lol Fucking love Type O 🤘 even had the chance to see them live twice before Peter died
This album was my first album music that i bought as a teenager on the tape :) we hadnt hear about cds in that time in Poland or IT was to expensive for common People. So i was15 and i was tying to understand This album, and after some Times i loved IT.
Would love to see you do all type o albums
World Coming Down is my favorite Type O album. Bloody Kisses is another good one.
Enjoyed your review, I would recommend that album "world coming down"
And of course "origin of the feces" the fake live album which is just awesome.. #staynegative
GЯЯЯeat Peter Steele, how I miss him... My fav is World coming down, but this one is great too. Classics!!
Thanks for noticing sonic similarities to Loveless. Super compressed and reverberated distortion on full volume. Check out Primal Scream’s ‘XTRMNTR’-album for further noise in the similar vein.
