Nope. Not at all. Haven't used it in a year or something.

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm sitting, but ... yeah. I don't use Spotify for music discovery (Megaboon for that) but more for the convenience of being able to listen to any album (mostly) I don't have without all that tedious faffing around on YouTube or P2P programmes. **** that. As Freddie Mercury once sang, I want it all and I want it now!

Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses (1993)

Tagged: Gothic Metal, Doom Metal

Recommended by: The Batlord

A gothic metal album, with that album cover, recommended by Batlord and glowing reviews wherever I looked. Gotta be honest, I was pretty pumped to listen to it. But I am sad to report that I thought it was completely bland and lacked energy from beginning to end.

For starters, the lead vocalist is garbage. No personality at all and brings the vibe down as opposed to adding any value at all. It's also way too fucking long considering it's distinct lack of diversity in sound. As I write this I'm listening to it again and all I can think of is skipping every track once it has been scrobbled. Not a good sign. It's strange because I usually like almost anything that's in this scene, and it's hard to say what is specifically "wrong" in the music, but it misses the mark on every aspect musically. Nothing riffs, nothing vocals, nothing moody atmosphere and overstays it's welcome.

I would go through my favourite and least favourite songs, but nothing made enough of an impression either way. It's not bad enough to truly dislike anything on here, or good enough to give a serious thumbs up. Just plain and boring.

Were you expecting it to be happy?

It's like we listened to two different records. This album has quite a bit of variety.

I didn't mean "down" as in he made it sadder, I meant the vocals had a negative impact on the record.

There is a bit of variety but it's still gloomy boring gothic rock. But it is a pretty weak criticism on my end I guess. Moaning that an album in a genre stays in the genre. I think disliking it made me say that, so I take it back. It's sonically varied but the tone remained relatively similar at least to me.

So basically it was consistent?

Consistently skippable.

Or maybe the songs skipped you.
