I saw this thread and remembered when helmet didn't suck.

then I remembered that was almost 20 years ago.

then I remembered that I'm fucking old.

then I remembered that death is coming quickly.


thanks a whole bunch, PB.

Awesome news. I have been listening to Size Matters a lot lately. It's a great album. With a great line-up: John Tempesta, Frank Bello, Chris Traynor, Charlie Clouser.
Monochrome was a pile of shit, because they tried to "go back to their roots." Hopefully this one is better.

Thanks Peebs!

Size Matters is a great album, hopefully the new one will go into the same direction. Thanks for the news!

Download

[SHARPPIE]

downloading it from you wouldn't make it suck any less.

my mime album is going to drop pretty soon, and that will actually be listenable.

[hellboy]

Helmet's Beatles cover is one of the worst songs ever recorded. The rest of the album is largely shit. Time for them to give away the songwriting gig.

Gonna check it out lil bit later...
Other opinions?
Agrgroculture?

[Black Death™]

Helmet had one catchy song; Unsung. That is it. Period.
