Either way BLOODY KISSES is one of the most alluringly weird albums in the history of the genre--an hour-long ode to break-ups and suicide that mixes acoustic guitars and synthesizers with metallic power chords, and lush choral harmonies with a lead vocalist who sounds like he died sometime before the recording process began. That last bit is meant as a compliment; if you're going to attempt an eleven-minute suicide dirge like the title track, you better be either Leonard Cohen or dead, and Type O's Peter Steele has a bit of both in him.\r\nFor most of BLOODY KISSES, though, Steele and crew come alive as pop studio experimentalists in a field dominated by anti-pop, anti-studio shredders. \"Christian Woman\" is a three-part epic that ebbs and flows with a slow metal groove, pretty background vocals, synthesized strings, and a morose lead voice that spells out a story of sex, death and Jesus. \"Too Late: Frozen\" places a bright pop chorus over chord changes that echo Bruce Springsteen's \"Tunnel Of Love.\" There's a surf-y organ line buried in \"Blood \u0026amp; Fire.\" The best pop joke of them all, if that's what it is, is a heavily psychedelic cover of Seals \u0026amp; Crofts' \"Summer Breeze\"; try listening to the song (which is done straight) while reading the lyric sheet (which is not).\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 08\/17\/1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Type O Negative","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186928832753,"sku":"F3ZOEN-LAOG-05","price":13.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/type-o-negative-bloody-kisses_lVb9Z.jpg?v=1748729313","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/es\/products\/type-o-negative-bloody-kisses","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
