"October Rust" CD by Type O Negative

New is the fact that Master Steele is singing more and more melodically, while the deep vocals take a backseat. Furthermore, it is noticeable that influences from the late 60s can be heard from every corner, which means that 'October Rust' has turned out considerably calmer and more relaxed than its predecessor. Not even 'Red Water' sounded as dreamy as 'Summer Breeze'! However, TYPE 0 NEGATIVE are far from delivering a boring album. This is ensured alone by the highlights filled with magnificent melodies such as 'Druidess', 'Wolf Moon', the epic 'Haunted', or the fantastic Neil Young cover, 'Cinnamon Girl'. Which style each individual prefers is ultimately purely a matter of taste. That 'October Rust' is a great album, on the other hand, is not up for debate, as it is a fact.
