What? No, come on Steele, this is stupid. Faking a live album and having most of the running order consist of inferior versions of tracks from your debut album is just plain daft; on top of that, changing up the song titles to obscure that fact is downright sleazy. It's a spectacularly pointless release which offers little to anyone who already has Slow, Deep and Hard, and from what I hear it isn't even a decent imitation of the Type O live experience of the era (Peter Steele was apparently even more of an asshole as a frontman than he presents himself as being here).

If I were a Type O fan at the time this came out I'd have been deeply concerned that the band had simply run out of ideas for decent material - which wouldn't speak well for their creativity given that they'd only put out one album at this point. Of course, history shows that they'd turn things around in magnificent style with Bloody Kisses - and I'd rather give that one another spin than subject myself to this nonsense again.
