type o negative is among my favorite bands.
some of you guys have already said that they dont like their last offering...well, you are among quite a few people who have voiced the same opinion in the last 3 years. and that has always shocked me, 'cause i find "life is killing me" to be fantastic. i mean at least -like two of you have mentioned- the song "anesthesia" should receive some appreciation. i think peter steele has done his best in that song's lyrics:
"Like a flash of light in an endless night
Life is trapped between two black entities
'Cause when you trust someone, illusion has begun
No way to prepare, impending despair
Did one say so cruel: "Tis better to love than lose"
Ignorance is bliss - wish not knew your kiss
So many times been burned, this lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire only fuels the fire - liar
Betwixed birth and death, every breath regret
I pity the living, envy for the dead
Emotionally stunned, in defense, I'm numb
I'd rather not care than to be aware - be scared
I don't need love
Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser
World reknowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia - anesthesia
I don't feel anything."
now, isnt that juct plain great?
T0N has a lot of humor, but some of their songs can really hit the listener, like this one...when they decide to be serious, they definitely manage to write a decent song in that vein.
and as for the original question, yeah those are two different bands blah blah blah
