This is what you get when you listen to Bloody Kisses by Type O Negative. But then give him a sense of humor and put him behind sensible pop keyboards and catchy, but slow, guitar riffs. Picture him sex crazed and completely set out against against the world. Imagine a goth male whose balls are as as big as basketballs and has a voice to match. This album could be just a tad shorter for me but fairly uniform in quality throughout. I wonder why this is categorized as metal at all as it seems to be only a minor element to the whole sound with more focus on Peter Steele's Dracula-like vocal style making it an eccentric blend of gothic rock, however, there is just enough doom metal to keep me from protesting its inclusion into the genre, although never anything outlandish and energetic.

The flow of the album is strong as one song leads into the other seamlessly. It is goth in the sense that it is about loneliness, depression, anger and the usual negative estranged feelings associated with the subculture. The songs are pretty much goth pop with a few interesting sound effects thrown in here and there.
