Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Betty' finds Helmet expanding their rigid, rhythmic alternative metal sound with more playful and eclectic influences. The album remains incredibly heavy and noisy, utilizing Page Hamilton's signature staccato riffs and uncommon time signatures to create a cryptic yet energetic rock statement.
