Heard one track off the new one. It was not the same band, sorry to say. Not much growl there.
Picked it up yesterday - it's decent, there's a few good songs on there but I don't think this'll be a classic. I love Helmet to death though so I'm liking this already. But sans John Stanier, it's a little different. I'm getting a kick out of buying a Helmet album in 2004 though. Hopefully they'll tour soon and then it's on.
It's a progression from Aftertaste (I know many Helmet fans who disown that album, but I like it anyway) but it's no Meantime or Betty.
There is growl though.
As for riding songs, and this isn't the ultimate but lately it's been serving well:
Botch - Transitions from Persona to Object
Closure - KM
Guilt - Untitled #4
