1.Thir13teen: This is their version of "The Munsters" theme music.
2.I Don't Wanna Be Me: There is a punk vibe to this tune, and it also has one the catchiest choruses on the album.
3.Less Than Zero (<0): The song started to send a chill up my spine when the lyric, "The sheep within, wearing wolf's skin" comes into the song. A cool tune.
4.Todd's Ship Gods (Above All Things): A heavy Beatles influence in this song about Peter Steele's father telling him not to cry. "Above all things boy, be a man".
5.I Like Goils: Another punk inspired song. It's Peter's reaction to homosexual men trying to pick him up.
6....A Dish Best Served Coldly: A song about revenge, with a lot of Beatles inspired "Ooooing" and "Ahhhing". Great song.
7.How Could She?: A TV audeince's reactions are heard throughout this song. This song asks one question to all of the television women mentioned, "Why don't you love me anymore?"
8. Life Is Killing Me: This song makes transitions between heavy moments, and The Bensonhoist Choir laying down their eerie vocals. This is an amazing song.
9.Nettie: It's about Peter's mother. "Nettie, no need to cry, let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes".
10.(We Were) Electrocute: Two words about this song: Love sucks, but the song does not.
11.IYDKMIGTHTKY (Gimme That): The composition of this song is great. As a bass player, I'm amazed at Peter's ability and this bass part continues my amazement.
12.Angry Inch: A cover of Hedwig and the Angry Inch's original about a sex change operation getting botched."My first day as a woman, and already it's that time of the month".
13.Anesthesia: Another "love sucks" song. Musically and lyrically this is by far the best track, in my opinion.
14.Drunk In Paris: It's an interlude of sorts. Just a minute and half of jam type music. It's a nice change.
15.The Dream Is Dead: "Another lonely Valentine's Day, I can't believe things turned out this way, and though I hate to see you go, I know it must be so, another lonely Valentine's Day". This is a great song to close Type O's latest album.

"Life Is Killing Me" is going to be in my CD player for a very, very, long time. If you enjoy their music, then this album will NOT disappoint you.

Although I have been a loyal Type O fan since the beginning, and have not been disappointed with any of their albums to date, this is the clear exception. Keep in mind, I love this band, they are my favorite band. Were you to buy a Type O album, i suggest Bloody Kisses or October Rust, each of which is without a bad song.

Once you understand the profound depth which this band is capable of reaching, you are stricken with the unsettling shallowness of this record. Try again boys! This album is a sorry characature of what Type O is supposed to be. I have listened to it over and over, hoping that it might grow on me, but to no avail. This album sucks. The guys should invest in a producer, to get them from copying themselves.

The album, like some songs on the last album, just doesn't feel finished. It lacks the dark polish that both bloody kisses and october rust had mastered. Buy LIKM to support Type O, but don't expect the same great quality of the pre LIKM days.

I am stunned that people actually like this album. It is a shallow farce of what Type O is capable of.

Why do people keep saying this sounds like a combination of bloody kisses and october rust? That does not make any sense, it sounds nothing like either of those albums. Those albums were 2 of the best things I've ever had the pleasure to hear, very dark,moody, and dramatic. LIKM is a complete dissapointment. At least World Coming Down had 2 good songs. (Hallows Eve and Creepy Green Light)I give this 1 star for the first half of anesthesia,the second half of the song sucks.

"Life is Killing Me" is an album that was four years in the making, and is undoubtadly Type O Negative's best work since the classic "October Rust". Returning to their more melodic and catchy sound a la "Bloody Kisses" and "October Rust", "Life is Killing Me" almost abandons the epic dirges that have become such staples of the band, but in return we get Type O at their musical best, and "Life is Killing Me" is undoubtadly one of the band's best albums. The anthemic "I Don't Wanna Be Me" carries a punkish vibe throughout, while "I Like Goils" is a hilarious toungue-in-cheek take on lead singer Pete Steele's brushes with getting hit on by homosexuals. The title track is a fast paced fist pumping song that will make long time fans of the band stand up and salute. Other standout tracks include "Less Than Zero", "Tod's Ship Gods", "How Could She?", and the surprisingly touching and heart wrenching "Nettie" which tells about Pete's mother. Josh Silver's keyboard work is phenominal here, some of his best in quite some time, and the band as a whole sounds much more tighter than they did on the previous album "World Coming Down". All in all, "Life is Killing Me" is one of, if not the, best albums of the year.
