The Origin Of The Feces (Not Live At Brighton Beach)

One of the things you will notice with any Type O Negative record is that the subject matter is bound to be uber-serious, and it still is. Tales of heartbreak, murder, revenge, and even suicide are the order of the day here, what makes this from becoming ultra depressing is that Type O Negative always had a tongue in cheek way of doing things. The Lyrics on this album are super amusing, despite the heavy subject matter. The one song that has awesome, as well as just badass lyrics would be opener "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else" specifically once you get passed the eight minute mark, and the song turns into an upbeat kickass song complete with cries of Slut, Whore, and Cunt describing the woman in question who broke Peter Steele's heart.
Despite being a Gothic/Doom metal band, Type O Negative sure knew how to ROCK in their early days. The material is balanced between slow dirgy parts, as well as upbeat standard 4/4 time signature parts, and then goes into thrash beats. The diversity of the tempos means that each change in tempo is that much better because it shows a stark contrast to the previous tempo. 
The production absolutely makes this album feel as if it is live. Every instrument is easily audible, but the album does not sound too polished. It sounds like you are right there listening to the band perform, Type O also did a very nice job with the "live" audience, as they sound genuine, and actually pissed off. So kudos to the producers of this record.
