how was it? how hard did they rock your world?

Nope. Didnt see them

wish i had. i love helmet. havent given the new album alot of airtime though

Haven't listened to them since they changed their snare-drum sound. I think that was Aftertaste... Are they still worth it?

The new album is okay, not great. John Tempesta is a great metal drummer, but he's not as fluid and does not have the groove that John Stanier did. Also, Paige Hamilton isn't doing his alternating scream/sing vocals any more. It's more of a constant half-assed singing that makes him sound old and tired.

I bought the album because I'm a huge Helmet fan, but it doesn't really sound like Helmet. Still better than most metal today, however.
