I honestly didn’t know it was coming out today but I went and picked it up and man I am glad I did, this album freakin rocks! It reminds of Meantime and sounds a little like Ministry in parts, pretty heavy but not to heavy. Helmet is back folks in my humble opinion. By the way, I missed the Ministry show in Charlotte, I just couldnt bring myself to pay 50 bucks, (me and my wife) to hear the new album. To much work for not enough payoff.
pure shite. deleted.
If it’s like Size Matters, count me out.
21st Century Helmet seems to be really really pathetic. Its actually a shame cos I consider Meantime, Betty and even Aftertaste to be pretty good albums. Size Matters and the new one really suck tho. With the exception of 1-2 tracks per album, they are entirely filled with filler.
I WANT to like this album so much, seeing as I hold ‘Betty’ in pretty high regard.
But after witnessing the snorefest that is their latest video for ‘Gone’…well I doubt I’ll be rushing out anytime soon.
Shame really.
p.s does anyone know what went down between Page Hamilton and Winona Ryder? They were dating for a while which was no big secret. However, I hear that most of the vitriol and spite in Helmet’s more recent material is aimed at her. Supposedly he hates her guts now. Maybe he made fun of the film she did with Adam Sandler and she responded by making fun of his (lack of) career!
Wow, I didnt mean to touch a nerve with so many. As far as them headlining the warp tour I don’t really like it, but from their perspective, how many more albums are they gonna sell? Not that many I think so maybe its not a bad career move as far as making a little money before they go out. I kinda think its funny that nobody hear likes the album, yet we post on the board for the band that just released their shittiest album to date. I love Ministry, have seen them several times and have all their stuff but I hate Rio Grande Blood, I hope Al improves his game for the last one…althought it sounds like he wont.
Haven’t heard this one yet, so no bad words from me. If you compare it to Meantime, then odds are I will like it.
Positive enough for ya?

I would seem there is a common idea among certain posting members, that no one will take them seriously unless they are posting hateful shit about somebody or something…you know… those people who realy have nothing to say unless they are talking shit about someone or something… the look at me I’m important syndrome…
Late,
