About this album

UMC (Universal Music Catalogue) (2002) Released: 19 Mar 2002 13 tracks (40:42)
Aftertaste is the fourth album by Helmet, released in 1997 on Interscope. This proved to be Helmet’s final album with original members John Stanier (drums) and Henry Bogdan (bass). Guitarist Rob Echeverria, who appeared on Helmet’s previous outing, Betty, left the group to join Biohazard. Subsequently, the album was recorded as a three-piece, with Page Hamilton covering all the guitar parts. Guitarist Chris Traynor (formerly of Orange 9mm) came on board for the supporting tour.

Aftertaste harkens back to Helmet’s earlier, rawer sound, omitting some of the experimental/jazz tendencies of Betty. The album met with a lukewarm critical and commercial response. “Exactly What You Wanted” was released as a single.

    Sounds so forced, the first 3 tracks are great but then it takes a nose dive around and below mediocrity
