| Are there any Helmet fans here? Meantime is a great alt metal album. |

| Love 'em! Page is getting older, so he mellowed a bit on the last two albums, but I dig everything they've put out. Great band! |

| I wonder if there is any chance the Meantime lineup will reunite? Betty was also a good record. |

| All of the old stuff up until Betty is good. I didn't really like aftertaste, or anything they've put out since. |

Aftertaste is my favorite!  "It's Easy To Get Bored" is possibly my favorite Helmet song.
On a side note, when I was stationed in Korea I was in a cover band called Run DMZ. We covered "Unsung," and I often did the Obituary version, singing like John Tardy. Haha. It sounded killer. |

| For some reason, this band has done nothing for me. Maybe I never really gave them a chance. |

| Love Helmet, enjoy the majority of their work. Aftertaste is my favorite, the only one I don't really care for is Size matters, but their latest Monochrome is excellent. |

I love this band as well. I think Size Matters was as heavy as the others. Monochrome is a bit different, but the band has done no wrong in my eyes.
Although Meantime is my vote for best album of 1992, Aftertaste has to be my favorite as well, Eyesore. |

| Yeah - Page has a unique sound and style, which, in itself, makes me a fan. He actually had a condo in Minneapolis in the 90's. So we would see him around town. He got up with Arcwelder one time and they "Crowbared-out" "Soft and Wet" [Prince]. Very cool!! |

| Just recently found (for two dollars!) a used copy of Meantime to replace my long ago copy that was stolen. What a great album. I was worried it might not have aged well but it was just the opposite. May even like it more than I did before.
I never really kept up with them after Meantime. I think I had a cassette of Betty. Might have to add them to the list of things to get. |

| I really liked the song Unsung but never got any albums from them. I think I should at least get Meantime (better late than never-I guess). |

| Betty and Meantime are their best albums that I have. I have Aftertaste; alright. and the most recent one, Monochrome. They've really gone down hill. |

| I played Meantime to death, but never really got sick of it. It's been on vacation for years now; I expect to pull it out one of these days and re-experience it.
Sax, didn't they record for Amphetamine-Reptile or something at one point, hence the Minneapolis connection? |

Yeah, they recorded the first couple 7"er's at AmRep. I would guess they dug the scene here, at the time, and needed an American crash pad. |
