Betty

Rolling Stone (10/6/94, p.91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Learning from its mistakes, the band has broadened its scope on BETTY, expressing emotional depth and musical wit along with brute strength..." Spin - "While the basic Helmet song remains the same, singer-guitarist Page Hamilton's vocals actually have undergone an evolution, and a welcome one at that." Spin (8/94, p.85) - Satisfactory - "...This is heavy metal without the theater, headbanging music for people without hair..." Alternative Press (9/94, p.74) - "...BETTY, is filled with the crunch based power we've come to expect...a little chancey, yet undeniably Helmet..." Musician (7/94, p.89) - "...BETTY blows the lid off the sucker, using hip-hop, hints of jazz, reams of speaker-altering noise and, unexpectedly, humor. Helmet have de-metallized metal..." NME (Magazine) (6/25/94, p.41) - 6 - Good - "...not only does BETTY betray a surprising sleight of hand in its shuffling of familiar components but it also has the sense to lob the odd ringer into the gig..."
