Helmet - Meantime

This album is all killer/ no filler!




I can't believe it is only like 36 minutes.  It seems to last longer, like 55 minutes of metallic radness!   The tracks flow together real well to, with an obvious uptick being 'Unsung' which is where this album just goes off the hook.  One of the highlights of this album is the twin-guitar attack.  It is just relentless.




The current version I have from Itunes sounds great.  Is it remastered?  Or is this album so great that even today, 20 years later it just sounds awesome.  Seriously I think if you were in an alternate universe where there was no Helmet and then released 'Mean-time' in the alternate 2013 it would still be popular and chart.  Heck it might be even more popular because there are so many of those 'nu-metal' type kids around today.
