After Betty I was wondering who would be better in the year 2000... Helmet, or Melvins. Helmet broke up, so Melvins by default. Helmet reunite... 3 albums, great... but with the contest back on, it's Melvins by a long ways. Betty vs. Stoner Witch is pretty much a dead draw. Seeing Eye Dog vs Stoner Witch? Not even close. Still love Helmet!! God I'm old
The vocals fit this song. If you listen to much Helmet youll notice that Page has an extremely versatile voice and sings with different styles throughout helmets career. I honestly thought the vocals in this song reminded me of metalica as well when i first heard it only thing is metalica suck and helmet kick ass!
i like his new voice, it sounds more cynical and hateful, which is awesome, as for the song, it sounds like smart from size matters but thats ok as its an amazing song and so is this so its all good
@sludgegod666 I disagree. When I saw Helmet 3 years ago at the Troubadour, several times he relaxed his vocal chords while singing (notably when they played "give it") & he did sound like the way he used to, also during other songs. He wants to sound this way or overly soft like on "Monochrome". The way he squints when he sings, he's forcing it & that's too bad cuz he sounded 100X better the old way. I still like Helmet a lot, the music still kicks major ass but come back Paige.
Say what you will about the voice, but from a female perspective, it has that rough edge growl that is soooo sexy. The voice (hetfields too, especially in Loverman) sends waves of chills down to my toes....
He's got a bit of a Tom Waits-esque growl going in parts of this vocal performance. Does have a bit of a Hetfield tone at parts which I don't really dig but his voice used to be much cleaner. I definitely dig the music.
This is good stuff but it's hard to me for be into Helmet these days. I grew up with them in the 90's and to me, the real Helmet is the original members. It's one of those bands we're it's just not the same with other members.
I like that little riff that reappears later in the album on the track White City.

Both Helmet and Metallica kick ass.
But Helmet kind of lost me after Aftertaste.
I can't get into that Mono album to save my ass.
This is the second song I heard from this new one and the sound is much better....so far...

Why are you guys comparing an alternative metal band with a thrash metal band? o_o

Um.....Page Hamilton used this same voice for other songs in the past........Metallica sounds like a bag of burnt shit.

Helmet still has it. Page Hamilton is still the man. Nineteen years since "Unsung" and they're still cool.
