Guitar thugs Helmet muscled their way into a hefty record-industry bidding war in the early 1990s, boasting an impressive use of negative space within dense guitar structures. Largely due to frontman Page Hamilton's stop/start guitar riffs, Helmet was easily recognizable in a sea of competitors.

The group's second major-label album, BETTY, growls and grinds through 14 songs simmering with post-adolescent angst. Tracks like "Biscuits for Smut" and "Overrated" couldn't be better fit for the jaded mid-1990s. 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 culture. A more dynamic outing than the quartet's previous releases, BETTY revealed Helmet as a fascinatingly restless band.

Recorded at Soundtrack, Power Station, and Sound on Sound, New York.

Audio Mixer: Andy Wallace.

Recording information: Power Sation; Power Station; River Sound; Riversound; Sound on Sound; SoundTrack.

Helmet: Page Hamilton (vocals, guitar); Rob Echeverria (guitar); Henry Bogdan (bass); John Stanier (drums).

Engineers: Anton Pukshansky, Martin Bisi, John Siket.

Rolling Stone (10/6/94, p.91) - 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..."
Spin (8/94, p.85) - Satisfactory - "...This is heavy metal without the theater, headbanging music for people without hair..."
Alternative Press (9/94, p.74) - "...BETTY, is filled with the crunch based power we've come to expect...a little chancey, yet undeniably Helmet..."
Musician (7/94, p.89) - "...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..."
NME (Magazine) (6/25/94, p.41) - 6 - Good - "...not only does BETTY betray a surprising sleight of hand in its shuffling of familiar components but it also has the sense to lob the odd ringer into the gig..."

5 stars thee best helmet
i take a lot of heat from my friends for this but it is in my opinion that betty is helmet's best release. although I have strong feelings for aftertaste, betty is the most musically sound. it has clever grooves that although complex to copy, are quite simple when you think about them. at times it sounds like the snare drum on the drumkit is a jamacian mallet or something. it really is quite awesome.

2 stars Somewhat of a letdown
I loved _Meantime_, but _Betty_ sounds way too rushed. The production is a letdown as is the music. Good for diehard fans, but a letdown to those who first saw them in their initial club days.
