Great (and overlooked) First Album
Helmet's "Betty" gets all the attention. It's a great album, but so is "Meantime." The singer has always used two voices, one growling metal voice and his usual singing voice. For a long time I thought there were two singers. The way I judge which album is better is by percentage of good songs. For me, "Betty" was sixty percent, while "Meantime" is eighty. "In the Meantime" is the perfect opening song, heavy and loud. "Better" has the same feel. If you liked "Betty" and don't like "Meantime", your ears are playing tricks on you.

BEST ALBUM (cd) OF ALL TIME FOR ME THIS CHRISTMAS
WOW! WOW! WOW! i just can't say it enough. best sonically sounding sound with a hardcore beat is thoughout this cd. i havent listened to a whole album that has been this good in a long time, granted, i haven't bought a cd in a while because they ALWAYS SUCK. not this one, this album is awesome! if every album was like this, i would buy cds again, but come on music companies, $13 to $15 or more. not gonna happen. $5 a cd is fair, we have been systematically given one good song on the radio and the cd ALWAYS SUCK(thanks music companies). finally, a real cd. this one is not a waste of money, but don't expect that magic on their album "Seeing eye dog", where sonically it sucks compared to this one. this one WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!!!

Grunge for grown ups?
Takes me right back to the mid 90's when I was anticipating the release of The Crow!

A masterpiece in hardcore.
Seems to be overlooked but an incredible album. Not sure much of what they did lived up to it afterwards. There are some great moments on Betty, but Meantime start to finish is an unflinching statement of a band single-mindedness that set the bar high for any band that may try to follow. Excellent timeless lyrics, sound and song writing.

Dammed good stuff.
This album for me is worth 5 stars. Helmet's 2nd album and only 2nd best to the wonderful 3rd album betty.Never does this album at any stage fail to give the nu metal/rock listener 100% entertainment and satisfaction, start to finish.The opening track meantime really does rock and ironhead next up is a cracker.The rest of the 8 songs are up to the mark. Buy meantime, you won't be disappointed.
