Cinnamon Girl is a fascinating temporal bridge where the sunshine-dappled melodies of 1960s folk-rock are dragged into the subterranean, neon-lit gloom of 1990s Brooklyn. Type O Negative takes the skeletal structure of a Neil Young classic and dresses it in heavy, velvet-draped doom metal. It sounds like a funeral for a relationship that hasn't quite ended yet, characterized by Peter Steele's signature distorted bass tone which rumbles with the texture of a low-frequency earthquake. The production is thick and immersive, layering lush vocal harmonies that feel more like a Gregorian chant than a pop chorus.
