| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Type O Negative: Johnny Kelly, Josh Silver, Pete Steele , Kenny Hickey. | | Additional personnel: The Bensonhoist Lesbian Choir, Val Lum (vocals). | | Peter Steele predicted that the follow-up to Bloody Kisses would accentuate Type O Negative's melodic side, specifically for the purpose of making money. Steele's attempt at "pop-goth" actually works well for a while; his cynical take on goth rock's typical subject matter is in full swing over the first half of October Rust, and the band gleefully wallows in its stated commercialism by personally thanking the listener for purchasing the album at its start and finish. Unfortunately, the songwriting runs out of steam over the second half, and the cover choice (Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl") doesn't lend as much this time out; the overall entertainment value suffers as a result. October Rust comes off as a promising concept and a nice try, but lacks the consistency to fully realize the band's potential. ~ Steve Huey | | Peter Steele predicted that the follow-up to Bloody Kisses would accentuate Type O Negative's melodic side, specifically for the purpose of making money.

| | Professional Reviews | | Melody Maker (10/5/96, p.51)
- "...OCTOBER RUST is the last word on temptation, from a band who have laid bare the male psyche at their own expense, more thoroughly than Henry Rollins, or even The Afghan Whigs ever could. It's the last word on longing for a woman in order to become a man..."Kerrang (Magazine)
(p.50)
- "An enrapturing, multifaceted record....October RUST marks the pinnacle of Type O Negative's creativity, a unique and incomparable record..." |
