"Life is Killing Me" is the sixth album of original material by Brooklyn band Type O Negative. The title was originally going to be "The Dream Is Dead", but was supposedly changed because it suggested that the band may finally be ending their unionFact|date=April 2008.

Overview

There are no "soundscape" tracks on "Life is Killing Me", but there is a brief instrumental track titled "Drunk in Paris." There are two tracks featured on the album about Steele's parents. "Todd's Ship Gods (Above All Things)" is named after the ship yard his father worked inFact|date=April 2008, while "Nettie" is named after his motherFact|date=April 2008. The band covers the song "Angry Inch" from the off Broadway musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The album also contains a cover of the interstitial music from television's The Munsters. Track 11 of the album is titled "IYDKMIGTHTKY (Gimme That)." The acronym IYDKMIGTHTKY is believed to stand for "If You Don't Kill Me I'm Going To Have To Kill You," since it is the most repeated phrase in the song, other than "Gimme That."

The album leaked onto the internet before release, upsetting keyboardist Josh Silver to the point where he released a message online complaining that the leak essentially takes revenue from the band.Fact|date=April 2008.

The inside spine under the CD tray has the message "Type O Negative is a non-prophet organization".

The opening two seconds of "I Don't Wanna Be Me" (featuring Kenny's feedback on guitar, while the drums start up) are heard as a frequent sample in "Grand Theft Auto IV" on the Liberty Rock Radio Station.
