Dead Again (Type O Negative Album)
Dead Again is the seventh and final studio album by Type O Negative, released through SPV/Steamhammer. This is the final Type O Negative studio album released before the death of frontman Peter Steele. The album sees the band using studio drums instead of a drum machine for the first time since their third album, the platinum selling Bloody Kisses. Thus, it remains the only Type O Negative studio album to feature Johnny Kelly's actual playing, as he was only "credited" as the drummer on the three albums prior to Dead Again.
The album booklet folds out into a cross shape. The cover photo is a portrayal of Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and associate of Tsar Nicholas II, and likewise the lettering is faux-Cyrillic font. Reception to this album was quite positive among fans and critics and received the highest chart position for the band yet.
The album was re-released in February 2008, with a DVD including live performances, interviews, and music videos. A separate 3LP vinyl set was also released, which includes a shirt and 12-page booklet.

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or negative:
“He moved with the shades of the dead and the dead-born and the unborn and the never-to-be-born, in a Limbo purged of desire.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
