With a sense of humor blacker than the clothing on their backs, and a profound distaste for both humanity and political correctness, Type O Negative never changes with the times; the times change with them. Life Is Killing Me is more grist for the Type O Negative mill, further championing the band's lifelong subscription to the attitude that the glass is not only half empty but cracked and laced with cyanide. Life Is Killing Me's alchemy of sludge and chilling gothic imagery and conventions is just what fans and critics have come to expect and rely on in this chaotic world.
