There are a lot of people who don't know about Type O Negative's sense of humor and take them way to seriously. "Origin Of The Feces" is the album for those people. This live album is up there with NOFX's "I Heard They Suck Live".

"Origin Of The Feces" is actually better than their studio album "Slow, Deep, And Hard" which is where all the songs are from, except "Hey Joe" and "Paranoid". The crowd is quite hostile toward the band, persistently shout out negative comments, and throw beer bottles at the band members. The crowd alone makes this album worth listening to along with Peter Steel's comebacks for their insults. The most hilarious part of the album is when Steele announces they're playing their last song and the audience breaks out in applause for the first time.

The songs on the album have the excess trimmed off and are executed more clearly. Steele's voice comes across more emotional than any of their other albums, much deeper in the slow parts, and rougher during the fast parts.

It was a really big disappointment when I heard this was a fake live album. I had my suspicions because the music was to clear and well played. I also knew a crowd could never be that clever and humorous. But the fact that it's fake still doesn't bother me and the album was worth every penny I paid for it and then some. Type O Negative's humor is genius, but maybe I could be mistaking it for a lack of talent.

This is Type O's infamous fake live album, and the band couldn't be having a better time. Peter Steele's responses to the (fake) crowd's insults are ingenious. It's also interesting to see how they rearranged the songs from Slow, Deep, and Hard, at least if you already have that album. As the album progresses, you get to sit through a twisted cover of Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe" with words like "Hey Peter, where you going with that axe in your hand?", as well as a split up version of Xero Tolerance, and of course the classic "Unsuccessfully Coping...". Also, the cover of Paranoid at the end of the album (which they didn't try to make sound live) is amazing and one of my favorite Type O songs ever, I don't know what's wrong with the people who don't like it. It's more in the October Rust (I'm listening to that right now) style. Sadly, despite all these good things about it, I had to give it 4 stars because "Der Untermensch" is excluded and that was one of my favorites from Slow, Deep, and Hard. Also, the CD is a bit short (by Type O standards at least) to be worth full price, not to mention that almost all the songs are already on another CD. Most of the songs aren't played all the way through. If you already have all the other Type O albums though, by all means, go for it. It's entertaining at the very least. (...)

well ill be honest...the original cover art for this album kept me from buying it for five years but when i finally did...i was not dissapointed and any true Type O fan will not be either. The other reviewer is correct tho this is not a true live album...but i have seen them live and this is a good representation of that experience. Its hard to call this one goth because the Carnivore element is still in there a little bit...kind of an 80s guitar sound.But the classics from Slow Deep And Hard sound great "live" on this CD. Including the mysterious and sudden english accent towards the end of " kill you tonight",rumored in the Massachusettes area to be a poke at Al Jougenson's faux british accent, but I dont believe that really.Trivia aside buy this one it is well worth it, especially without the original cover art hahahahah

Nobody knows..but this is still a great T.O.N album and shouldn't be missed by fans of the band....this alot of the good songs from "Slow,Deep,and Hard" done with a live sound(crowd shouting "YOU SUCK" and so forth) and a few new works are on here.."Hey Pete" and so on....this is still a fun album to listen to and one of my most remembered....not bad not bad at all.

This is a great record. Just to let you all know that already have it, this is really not a live recording. The crowd is actually all of their friends including Life Of Agony. They overdubbed everyone to make it sound live. Nice trick!!! Buy the record it rocks. If you are a new Type O fan. You wont like it because it may be to fast and heavy for you.
