Free Music Notes for Unsung: The Best of Helmet 1991-1997
Free Music Review: I originally got it for 'Unsung,' but...
Hit: 5 Stars
...I figured I should try the whole thing. And I did. And I LOVED it. I became a Helmet fan almost overnight! 'FBLA,' 'Exactly What You Needed,' 'Sinatra,' 'Meantime' and 'Unsung' are all '90s alternative masterpieces that are well worth listening to. I'm just sorry I didn't listen to these guys sooner!
Overall, if you like good '90s alternative, than don't make the same mistake I did. Don't ignore Helmet or listen to them just for that one song, 'Unsung.' Buy 'Unsung: The Best of Helmet 1991-1997' and see what '90s alternative is supposed to sound like. Well worth owning.
Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!
Unsung: The Best of Helmet 1991-1997 Poster
Had there not been Helmet, then a whole genre of metal wouldn't have been born. Bands such as Godsmack, Pantera, Linkin Park, System of a Down, and a generation of nu-metalists owe their very careers to Page Hamilton's noisy, snarling guitars, John Stanier's scatter gun drumming, and Henry Bogdan's nasty, assertive bass. One of the earliest bands to combine a jazz sensibility with hardcore, this New York-based band's dedication to pairing their textured bone crushing riffs with elegant off-kilter time signatures, and well-crafted and surprisingly sensitive lyrics, like the dark ambient philosophy of "Unsung" or the ghostly imagery of "Wilma's Rainbow," has earned them a place in rock's annals. Sadly underrated during their six-year tenure, these early metal fusionists carved out a niche for themselves that has never been filled after they pulled the plug in 1997. This 21-track collection, which has been digitally remastered, revives those glory years and illustrates just how groundbreaking Helmet really was. From the stately Hendrix-esque "Bad Mood," to the sheer genius of "Just Another Victim," their rap metal synthesis from the soundtrack of Judgment Night, featuring House of Pain, Helmet gave heavy metal thunder a good name, and some much needed innovation. --Jaan UhelszkiAlternative Rock Music CDs
