Record EX / Sleeve EX
Like many influential bands, Helmet was born out of an unusual set of influences.
Oregon-born guitarist and founder Page Hamilton had actually moved to New York City to study jazz,
but found inspiration in the late '80s through post-punk acts Sonic Youth, Killing Joke, and Big Black,
and envisioned a group that combined then-unusual tunings (particularly dropped-D) with uneven
and jazz-like time signatures and harmonies. The result was Helmet, the East Coast's
answer to Seattle's then-underground sensation Soundgarden.
Little noticed upon its initial release, Helmet's debut full-length, Strap It On, left
a sledgehammer-like indention upon those few who did hear it at the time and served
as the template for the band's successive major-label breakthrough, Meantime --
albeit a very raw and abrasive template that may jolt fans of the band's later work
...(All Music Guide)
Their first album in the same great style as the Born Annoying 7”.
Intense guitar noise, highly structured and with complex jazzy rhythms.
Brilliant. [9]...(FLEX)
