Album Notes

Engineers: Anton Pukshansky, Martin Bisi, John Siket.
Recorded at Soundtrack, Power Station, and Sound on Sound, New York.
Guitar thugs Helmet muscled their way into a hefty record-industry bidding war in the early 1990s, boasting an impressive use of negative space within dense guitar structures. Largely due to frontman Page Hamilton's stop/start guitar riffs, Helmet was easily recognizable in a sea of competitors.
The group's second major-label album, BETTY, growls and grinds through 14 songs simmering with post-adolescent angst. Tracks like "Biscuits for Smut" and "Overrated" couldn't be better fit for the jaded mid-1990s. Mixing nihilism with a fascination for pop-culture commodity, Hamilton drops words like "cellulite" with "karmic wealth" to create an insightful foray into an over-stimulated culture. A more dynamic outing than the quartet's previous releases, BETTY revealed Helmet as a fascinatingly restless band.

Satisfactory - ...This is heavy metal without the theater, headbanging music for people without hair...
Spin (08/01/1994)

...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...

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...
