Album Notes
Helmet: Page Hamilton (vocals, guitar); Rob Echeverria (guitar); Henry Bogdan (bass); John Stanier (drums).Engineers: Anton Pukshansky, Martin Bisi, John Siket.Recorded at Soundtrack, Power Station, and Sound on Sound, New York.Guitar thugs Helmet muscled their way into a hefty bidding war in the early 1990s, boasting an impressive use of negative space within dense guitar structures. Due to Page Hamilton's stop/start guitar riffs, Helmet was easily recognizable in a sea of guitar-heavy competitors. Now with their second album BETTY, Helmet starts right back where they left off.BETTY growls and grinds through fourteen songs simmering with post-adolescent angst. Boasting song titles like "Biscuits For Smut" and "Overrated," Hamilton and his songwriting couldn't be better fit for the apathetic and apocalyptic 1990s. The trick is to keep up with Hamilton's many varied allusions.Mixing nihilism with a fascination for pop culture commodity, Hamilton drops words like "cellulite" with "karmic wealth" to create an insightful foray into an over-stimulated and jaded culture.

NME (06/25/1994)

Satisfactory - ...This is heavy metal without the theater, headbanging music for people without hair...
Spin (08/01/1994)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...Learning from its mistakes, the band has broadened its scope on BETTY, expressing emotional depth and musical wit along with brute strength...
Rolling Stone (10/06/1994)

...BETTY blows the lid off the sucker, using hip-hop, hints of jazz, reams of speaker-altering noise and, unexpectedly, humor. Helmet have de-metallized metal...
