Topic: Aftertaste album

Helmet's album, Aftertaste, is twelve tracks of conviction that re-define the scope of what people regard as "heavy." Produced by Barkmarket guitarist Dave Sardy (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cop Shoot Cop), Aftertaste cuts through the morass of cookie-cutter-alterna-music now being heard in a shopping mall near you.
Helmet's debut album on AmRep, Strap It On, was released in the fall of 1990, and underground rock fans marveled at John Stanier's propulsive drumming, the tightly-wound attack of bassist Henry Bogdan and guitarist Peter Mengede, and Page Hamilton's searing guitar work and hostage-taking vocal style.
Aftertaste bristles with the same energy and hunger that the band had when they recorded their debut album Strap It On six years ago between flipping burgers, tending bar, and driving limousines.

 Aftertaste (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was Helmet's final record with John Stanier (drums) and Henry Bogdan (bass).
Helmet did not have a second guitarist at the time Aftertaste was recorded, so Page Hamilton did all the guitar himself.
However, guitarist Chris Traynor (formerly of Orange 9mm) came on board in time for the tour.

Aftertaste has the explosive superheavy riffage from the musical genius Page Hamilton, the fattest in-your-face basslines from Henry Bogdan (boy, is he missed on "Size Matters") and the insanely aggressive and tragically underrated John Stanier on the kit.
The whole album is great, and some of the later tracks, while not instantly gratifying on the very first listen, will uncover their hook-laden lore with repeated listens.
Aftertaste is a great album and it's the last recording of arguable the three most underrated and influencial musicians working together.

The word is that Lina’s album was finished first, but there was a rush put on Blu’s album to beat the release of Lina’s.
The album begins with one of it’s strongest track “Playa No Mo’” which is the single if you’ve heard of Lina, that you would most likely be familiar with.
It should be noted that the vast majority of the songs on the album are mid to fast tempo, and although Lina can sing, I’m not sure how she would fair as a balladeer.

With their first album, Helmet established their original sound of short, meaning-filled lyrics combined with an unignorable sound of heavy guitar throughout their music.
On their next album, "Betty", Helmet gained their first highly played single, "Wilma's Rainbow." Yet on "Betty", Helmet took a turn from their previous albums as the sound changed with the times.
Their final album, "Aftertaste", released in 1997, also saw the face of a new guitarist, Chris Traynor.

 The Swords Project: Entertainment Is Over If You Want It - PopMatters Music Review
This is one of the tracks on the album where you can clearly hear the straddle between the musical genres due to the layers of textures that are piled on one another.
The album closes with "New Shapes", another exceptional, wandering track with a heavier drum and guitar presence, and woolly vocal sounds that dictate the melody.
You'll get the most out of this album as you're listening to it and then the only criticism left to make is that it stands at a mere 42 minutes long.

This is by far the worst major label CD I've heard this year, and with the sheer amount of unworthy records I've encountered in 2004, that's saying something.
McCartney, a 17-year-old, blond pretty boy, claims his sound is "blue-eyed soul," but sings some of the most inconsequential songs in history in a weak, lame, soulless voice that reminds me more of the whine of a mosquito than Marvin Gaye.
His songwriters are the same shlock-meisters to blame for albums by Jessica Simpson, Nick Carter and Hillary Duff.

The performance artists and hillbillies gone horribly awry of Human Aftertaste peppered their performance at the Melody Inn with such memorable moments as a dude piercing himself while sitting on nails, bizarrely costumed characters inflicting unspeakable molestation on an inflatable monkey and whippings inflicted via twirling baton.
Human Aftertaste is a unique name for a unique band and it's also the title of their album.
Human Aftertaste is a collection of digitally created, layered flesh fillets of synthahol, with the occasional steady riff of distorted guitar, catchy rhythms and hooks, topped off with theatrically delivered echoes and pitches of vocals.

This album is not a greatest hits collection, because Helmet only had 2 or 3 hit songs.
Betty was the most experimental album in Helmets repertoire, but sadly it is not represented by any of the more unusual songs off of the album, but these are all good songs, but they really don’t give you a taste of the lighter side of Helmet.
This album kind of brought together all of the previous elements of Helmet while almost fazing out the earlier “strap it on” elements.

An improvement with frontman Adam's vocals is definately noticed compared with their previous album "An Expression of Repressed Violence" as Adam is able to annunciate his vocal projection more clearly enabling the listener to be able to understand the lyrics which in turn enhances the feel of every track.
Every song on this album is great, all the lyrics come straight from the heart, and the music goes straight for the throat; and there's even a cool duet with the mighty Phil Anselmo from Pantera (By The River).

Helmet's final album "Aftertaste" may have not been their best but was a great effort at the least.
I got this album for Easter one year after pointing it out at the local Wal-mart, surprisingly enough they had this album at the time.
Of course "Betty" was more experimental than any other album they had ever done and with "Aftertaste" Helmet basically went back to the older sound that they had on their first to efforts "Strap It On" and "Meantime".

This song comes from the album "Doolittle", which was the best album released in the 80s and which remains a prime influence on any alternative guitar band to this day.
This is still a pretty good album, even though it really signalled the beginning of the end for the Church (the three albums that followed before they broke up became increasingly tedious and uninteresting, although the band recently reformed and released "Hologram of Baal", a worthy addition to their catalogue).
The production on this album is its primary weakness—sometimes the instruments sound a little tinny, and the whole thing smells a little too strongly of years spent in the studio.

In fact, the album plays a bit as if the material was written at various stages of their development and then saved for recording at a later date.
It bears enough of a stylistic resemblence to the older albums, that it is worthy of the name "Helmet." But most of this stuff still comes across as less-inspired sounding than their earlier material.
On this album, it sounds like Page seem somewhat conflicted as to whether or not he wanted to sell out, and try and appeal to a more commerical audience, or make a consistently heavy album, and try and regain some underground name recognition.

It's refreshing to find out another band of underground proportions has been keeping true to themselves and refusing to go with the mainstream for the purpose of not feeling like changing their music instead of refusing to change because that's what everybody else is doing.
New York's Helmet has born another long awaited album, Aftertaste, a trip back to where they started and away from the experimenting they experienced on the 1994 album Betty.
Forces of nature only rival the power of chord progressions found on Aftertaste's 13 tracks but there is a restraint and withholding to the guitar thrashing.

 Detailed Review [Apogee - Overall View] - ProgressoR
All tracks of all the three albums of Apogee were composed, arranged and performed by: Arne Schafer (vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass, drums & percussion).
Each of the compositions presented on the album is full of wonderful, distinctively original music, that on the whole I wouldn't dare draw comparisons with anything I've heard before.
Being composed and recorded in different years (from 1991 to 1998), all the six songs of this self-released album called "On the Aftertaste" have practically the same amazingly monolithic stylistic nucleus.

Helmet were something of a revelation when they broke into the public eye in the early ‘90s, playing heavy music that was hooky and well-crafted enough to attract mainstream attention.
By the time the band broke up in the wake of their Aftertaste album, their material had become even more melodic and listener-friendly, but the fickle mainstream had abandoned them for rap-metal and eventually a slew of weak imitators like Staind and Nickelback.
Album opener “Smart” has the classic Helmet sound and style, but the first thing you really notice is how Hamilton’s voice has changed.

 Aftertaste by Helmet CD
On its fourth album, the hard-hitting New York foursome continues to pit bandleader Page Hamilton's Ozzyish singing against a backdrop of industrial-strength guitars and drums that practice what Henry Rollins refers to as the "socialist groove," where no one beat in a measure is accented over any other.
The effect is similar to that of a jackhammer tearing up a sidewalk: loud and repetitive, but consistently effective.
This album is musically the best helmet album.
