oi pessoal, o blog andou paradão por causa de alguns problemas, mas
agora segura a onda, pois o retorno é de Jedi !!! (putz!)

marca um retorno.
"Size Matters", lançado em 2004 é o disco de retorno do Helmet, que
tinha parado suas atividades em '97 com o álbum "Aftertaste".

Crítica (www.allmusic.com):
The resurrected Helmet pits a growlier Page Hamilton against a new
rhythm section, but that's about the only change. Size Matters stutters
just like the old days, and favors skewed melodies that, even if they're
a little slower or more layered, still sound like New York City in 1990.
"Crashing Foreign Cars," for example, could be part two of Strap It On's
"Blacktop." There's Hamilton-branded guitar freakery here -- check the
bleating car horn intro to "Enemies" -- and opener "Smart" is as
economic as metal derivation is going to get in the new millennium, when
the genre's dominated by bombast and ridiculously compressed electric
guitars. (Ex-Rob Zombie drummer John Tempesta gets credit for his
precision snare and deliberate pacing.) And yet, despite its throwback
sound, Size Matters starts to run together. Middle-range tempos
emphasize the slow-motion roar of Hamilton's guitar, but tracks like
"Drug Lord" and "Unwound" also begin to plod at that meter. It's like
they lose interest after introducing the huge part. "Everybody Loves
You" is stronger, and "Last Breath"'s crunch and altered tempos are
knife sharp and cool. "Speak and Spell" is another highlight. Size
Matters emphasizes for the bloated alt-metal elite what it means to have
craft and a little self-control. It isn't necessarily memorable, but as
an exercise in measured, even artistic rage, it's classic Hamilton.
