Life Is Killing Me, the sixth studio album from Brooklyn's Type O Negative, came out on June 17, 2003, and it was their last for Roadrunner Records. Peter Steele produced it, and the title isn't a joke, or not only one: the songs dig into his dark outlook and struggles with mental illness at the time, with lyrics about relationships falling apart and about losing his mother and father to illness.
For the band nicknamed the Drab Four, the sound is lusher and more melodic than before, Josh Silver's keyboards and Kenny Hickey's guitar swirling around Steele's cavernous voice while Johnny Kelly's drums trudge and gallop. "I Don't Wanna Be Me" got a promotional single and a video, and "I Like Goils" is the other track that found its way onto the countdowns. Critics warmed to it, and it moved 27,000 copies out of the gate on its way to No. 39 on the Billboard 200.
