3/5 ·
Warthur
Playing a careful balancing act between flat-out goth rock and gothic metal, Type O Negative's Bloody Kisses doesn't offer a whole lot in the way of outrageous surprises, but it is a fun listen and, unlike so much gothy material, doesn't take itself remotely seriously. (Indeed, the big single from this one, Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All), is a big piss-take at the goth scene as a whole.) The long, epic, multi-part tracks tend to be the better ones, with Christian Woman probably being my favourite, and even if the album begins to flag a little towards the end, at least it does so with a smile on its face. I don't rate it on the level of the more accomplished gothic metal works bands like Paradise Lost were turning out at this time, but it's not horrible.
