HELMET - Meantime LP
ORIGINAL REC GROUP (ORW528860.1)
Remastered for the first time for vinyl in almost a decade and pressed on high quality, European vinyl, this is the definitive edition of this modern day classic. Having settled in after a bidding war sent the band to Interscope Records, Helmet didn't waste anytime hitting the studio with noise super producer Steve Albini. Meantime was tight, focused and unrelenting. The songwriting was more refined and straight forward than the bands previous effort, unapologetic hooks grabbed the listener and the individual instruments were more defined. Albini's signature big drum sound gave the album a wide plot to stand on while the non stop punishing riffs threatened to drive the album right off a cliff.
