Helmet - Smart
(Size Matters)
Once upon a time there was a band named Helmet. The young men of Helmet thought that heavy metal was the bee knees, but also that alternative rock was the cat’s pajama’s. It was only a matter of time before the idea of a creature with the knees of a bee and the pajamas of a cat haunted their dreams. They called it… Alternative Metal. The sound caught on, and they enjoyed a taste of the great Post-Nirvana Alternaboom of the mid-90’s, but didn’t set the world on fire or anything. They called it quits just in time (of course) to watch a bunch of ridiculous clowns who sounded kind of like them set the world of fire, and were subsequently sent to prison on the charge of ‘Korn’.
They were released five years later, and decided to cash in, and recorded a new album of crunchy riffs and angsty yowls. It was (of course) universally lauded as ‘some dudes who sound kind of like Puddles of Mud, whatever, have you heard the new Radiohead album?’
