Bad, bad, bad.......2006-08-15

I love Type O Negative. I love the dark humor and thrashy riffs of "Slow, Deep, and Hard," I love the "overproduced" pop perfection of "October Rust," and I love everything in between. This album, however, is a big failure. It is amazing that a band who rarely writes a song that is anything other than outstanding could manage to compile such a mediocre "greatest hits" album, but they have done just that. This album suffers from two big problems: Firstly, the song selection is horrible (I can think of 10 TON songs better than "Cinnamon Girl" on "October Rust" alone), and secondly, whenever they do pick a classic, they edit it down to a shorter, more radio-friendly size. Not only is this annoying for devote fans, it doesn't even really serve as a good introduction to the band for newcomers (if you can't deal with an 8 minute song here and there then you aren't going to like TON, period). The two bright spots here come from previously unrealeased material, as "It's Never Enough" and "Stay Out of My Dreams" are, surprisingly, two of TON's better songs (indeed, it's amazing that these songs did not make it onto "World Coming Down" [whose recording sessions they were taken from], as they might very well have been the best two songs on that album). However the rest of "The Least Worst of..." is poorly thought out. The new material and various remixes might make a decent odds 'n' ends CD for hardcore fans, but as an introduction to the band this CD is a terrible disappointment. For a good beginner course in TON try "Bloody Kisses" (the eclecticism of which makes it a great representation of the band's stylistic range). Just make sure that you get the original (with "We Hate Everyone" and "Kill All the White People") and not the newer version (with "Suspended in Dusk"). Stay away from "the Least Worst of...," however, except to burn some of the new material onto a mix CD.

Cool Into to the band.......2006-02-06

This is a good cd. I'm not really into Type O Negative, but I like most of the songs on the cd. I'm still not a fan. I just like certain songs. Its dark and morbid. It works for me.

Definitely Not 'Worst Of', Type O Collection Very Enjoyable..........2005-11-07

Throughout Type O's lengthy career, they have released albums that are true landmarks in moody, dark metal. BLOODY KISSES was the definitive Type O album, selling well over a million copies and winning new fans the world over. Subsequent releases like OCTOBER RUST showed the bands more melodic side, while WORLD COMING DOWN showed pop sensibility and a little more thrash. THE LEAST WORST OF is actually sarcastically titled so because it's a semi 'best-of' collection, showcasing the bands best songs in shorter form with some unreleased material.

You'll find most of the band's hits in edit form, minus the lengthy closing track "Stay Out Of My Dreams" and the previously released "Black Sabbath", and the 12 minute plus "Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty of Infidelity". You can find different mixes on this album, but "The Misinterpretation of Silence and It's Disastrous Consequences" remix is actually more of a joke on the listener than anything. "Christian Woman", "Black No.1", "Everything Dies", they're all on this collection for your enjoyment. This collection is really geared toward the casual fan, to entice them to buy the albums that have the full-length versions of all these songs minus the ones that clock over 7 minutes. "Unsuccessfully Coping" clocks in at over twelve minutes, but it's musically expansion is haunting, it's worth the long listen...patience is a must.

So if you're a casual and you've been curious about Type O Negative, then THE LEAST WORST OF is worth the price. You'll get all their hits in short form and a couple of odds and sods to get you enticed to purchase the rest of their catalog. It's a very good collection of songs, and it shows the transformation of a band that really still has the machine churning just fine.

Saves CD swapping.......2005-10-08

These are hands-down some of my favorite TON tracks, if nothing else, it saves you switching around CDs to hear favorites. Yeah, that's lazy.

Type O does things with music that no one else does. There is a layered quality to it. They make "big" music, if that makes any sense. Listen to the CD, you'll get it.

This disc also includes "Hey Pete", a gothed-out version of Hendrix's "Hey Joe". You would think that it is done, as many TON songs are, with tongue planted firmly in cheek ("Hey Pete, where you going with that axe in your hand?" and so forth) However, I find this remake to bring out the true air of desolation and sadness of the song, and it conveys the loneliness of "Joe" (Pete) far better than Jimi's. Yes, better than Hendrix's. I said it, I'll say it again. Don't call me a blasphemer.

I love these guys, for their contribution to music in general. No one else is like them, and no one else does what they do.

One helluva album!!.......2005-06-15

This album is certainly one of the best works of heavy metal in the recent past. A compilation of Type O Negative's greatest works spanning over a decade of musical talent. These guys were neither very fast nor too slow. They blended their compositions with an improvised and sophisiticated tune.

The album features their masterpieces --- love you to death, christian woman, cinnamon girl, my girlfriend's girlfriend and everything dies (...though they missed out on bloody kisses [a death in the family] which is one of my personal favourite and i think should have been inducted in the album).

The second last track of the album viz. Unsuccessfully coping with the natural beauty of infidelity is a MELODRAMATIC song in the true sense of the word. The song unravels beautifully...slow initially, then gaining pace in the middle and again slows down towards the end...its just wonderful to listen to their terrific improvisation of the song being interspersed with high and low.

However, the real icing on the cake is delivered by Peter Steele's baritone voice. He has sung all the songs with effortless brilliancy. His deep and intense sound has bounded all the songs together and has given them a common touch.

In a nutshell, this album, as no need to mention, is TON's greatest hit and is a must have for any metal buff. So don't waste your time, rather listen to this musical masterpiece and turn those wasted time into precious moments B-)
