Limited Edition Blue With A Touch Of Red Vinyl!
Meantime is the second studio album & major label debut by American alternative metal band, Helmet, released on June 23, 1992 through Interscope Records. The importance of this record cannot be overstated, as it was arguably one of the most influential & overlooked rock records of the 90s, according to All Music. Meantime features the singles "Unsung", "In The Meantime" & "Give It", and is being issued on blue with a touch of red vinyl.
"Led by the classically trained Page Hamilton, Helmet's bludgeoning riffs combined with their stop-go-stop-go minimalist attack changed the face of aggro-rock. Its importance cannot be overstated. From the Steve Albini-produced title track through "Role Model," the band is relentless." - John Franck, allmusic.com
"Meantime occupies an interesting space in rock music. Its a perfect metal album without actually adhering to many metal characteristics, and its a stunning noise rock record performed with far more discipline than "noise" is meant to entail. It also occupies a unique space in the bands own discography. Their 1994 follow-up, Betty, threw far more experimental elements into the mix, and 1997's Aftertaste, while more consistent in sound, didnt have the same cohesion in quality... In 1992, however, Helmet achieved perfection, which is a triumph few bands are fortunate enough to pull off." - Jeff Terich, treblezine.com
