Lot's of people list Betty as their favourite Helmet album but for me, it is Aftertaste. The flow of the album is top notch and leaves me coming back for more.

If you like straight ahead punch me in the head guitar riffs over solid drumming with angry lyrics this album is for you!

Who's with me on this :twisted:
The last PJ show I went to was the best PJ show ever, that is until they come around again of course

    I never really got into them. Only know like 2 or 3 songs and that was from their Meantime album. Also the song they did on The Crow soundtrack. Should have seen them a few weeks ago. They literally played right down the road from me in West Chester, PA.

    +1

    And the early stuff is great too: Born Annoying & Strap It On. Aggressive and raw.

    So I'm currently listening to Dead to the World.  At first I thought iTunes somehow downloaded the wrong songs.  This doesn't sound like Page Hamilton at all.  WTF happened to his voice?  This sounds like every generic rock band trying to emulate Alice in Chains for the last 20 years.
