Helmet's new album...
« on: July 07, 2006, 04:18:31 AM »
The new Helmet album is out on July 18th. Has anyone heard it yet?

I've heard a couple of songs and it's sounding quite brutal. The production is back to the earlier 'Meantime'/'Strap it on' style.

Don't think they'll ever recreate the magic of the mid-90's, due to the changes in personnel, but still - it's always cool to hear new tunes that Page Hamilton comes up with.
I dance to all the wrong songs. I enjoy all the wrong moves...

I prefer 'Size Matters' to the new album, but like you said the earlier stuff kicked ass!

Did anyone see them at Download last year? They played twice and totally rocked.

Page is getting a bit Grey though!

ive downloaded all their albums in the last week or so and they're feckin deadly. they really have that raw heavy guitar sound goin thats similar to KD's. the new album is quite good too.

I absolutely love HELMET.Saw them last year at the Bristol Academy and it was excellent.Its a shame John Stanier ain't still with the band cos he is up there with the best drummers in the world AFAIC, but the new guy they've got is really good all the same.

Love the "Betty" Album cos its so original its crazy.And Wilma's Rainbow is one hell of a way to start an album! 8)
