But instead of just following a formula for their next album Betty, they veered way left, augmenting heavy rock with sounds borrowed from the blues, John Coltrane and avant-garde composer Glenn Branca. “If things are going really well, do the opposite,” frontman Page Hamilton said of Betty in 2015. “Shoot yourself in the foot.” “In addition to being Helmet's most experimental album,” Rolling Stone wrote upon the album’s release, “Betty is ironically the group's most accessible.” (In 2014, the album would appear on the outlet’s 40 Best Records of 1994 list.) Classics like "Wilma's Rainbow,” “Street Crab” and "Milquetoast" retain the band’s penchant for groove alongside Hamilton’s melodic vocals. But Brazilian guitar and abstract jamming (their cover of the jazz standard “Beautiful Love”) meets bluesy metallic twang (“Sam Hell”) meets weirdo funk (“The Silver Hawaiian”) meets atypical meters and piles of noise. It all adds up to one of the most landmark metal albums ever recorded. This limited edition 2LP is the 30th anniversary vinyl release and the Expanded Version, which includes 5 additional tracks – “Flushings,” “Thick,” “Pariah,” “Biscuits for Smut – Mutt Mix,” and “Biscuits for Smut – Pooch Mix.” It features a gatefold jacket, alternative artwork, printed sleeves with a personal note from Page Hamilton, gray vinyl, a Derek Hess illustration etched on side D, and an original album cover lithograph. All packaging features new, original illustrations by Derek Hess. It was pressed at Third Man Records. ABOUT THE LITHO: Celebrating 30 years of Helmet's "Betty," this limited edition, 12"x12" lithograph features the alternative album cover artwork from Interscope Vinyl Collective's June release, Helmet - "Betty" IVC Edition. It is signed by Page Hamilton, Helmet's vocalist and lead guitarist, and artist Derek Hess, who created the original illustration featured on the alternative album cover.
