VARIANT: 20th Anniversary Edition, Green and Black Mixed Vinyl 3LP
The kings of U.S. goth-metal only got gloomier with their sixth full-length release. Bassist-vocalist Peter Steele said he was going through a brokenhearted mid-life crisis when they were making 2003’s Life is Killing Me, and the record finds him brood-belting through songs about break-ups, death and depression. That said, “I Don’t Wanna Be Me” is a pop-punk-ish anthem, while the sitar-assisted “Less Than Zero” is sonically sublime. Spin this deluxe, three-LP 20th anniversary pressing — which also includes Black Sabbath and Neil Young covers — on Green Man-approved green-and-black mixed vinyl.
