Helmet - Aftertaste (1997)

The fourth album by Helmet is heavy alternative rock and like always very solid. Only problem really is that Betty and Meantime left this release in the shadows. When you mention hits none really came from this album although the songs were neither fillers and just maybe average. Like in the first sentence a good word to use for them is solid. It's probably like you go see them in concert and you go back to there discography. The next day you find yourself listening to obscure stuff you weren't getting into and it's like how did I miss this in a way if that makes sense. I can see how some people can call it dull, repetitive to some people but, when you listen to Helmet you need to listen to them loud. It isn't Betty but, still fuckin hits home. New album entitled Seeing Eye Dog comes out on Tuesday! Songs to check out "Exactly What You Wanted", "It's Easy to Get Bored" and "Pure".
