Standard Black Pressing / Also Available on Colored VinylHaving settled in after a bidding war sent the band to Interscope Records, Helmet didnt waste anytime hitting the studio with noise super producer Steve Albini to lay down their second effort the tight, focused and unrelenting 1992 masterwork Meantime. Albinis signature big drum sound gives the album a wide plot while non stop punishing riffs threaten to drive it right off a cliff. Lead single and hit heavy-alternative anthem Unsung was instrumental in shooting Meantime straight to the top of the radio and MTV playlists helping it achieve Gold status along the way. Worldwide, it sold over two million copies and carved out a nice place for heavier music in the sea of grunge and alternative-rock clones of the era. An early 90s classic, Meantime stands as a great influence on the decade and heavy music in general.

Sophomore studio album from New Yorks Helmet. Meantime was originally recorded in the winter of 1991 and 1992, and was the bands major label debut. Although the album was only moderately successful it would go on to influence many bands. Frontman Page Hamiltons staccato riffs, dual voice vocals, and heavy jazz influence had a significant impact on the world of nu metal and alternative metal. Meantime is considered one of the defining texts of post-metal. Includes the songs: In the Meantime, Unsung, and Iron Head. Ten tracks in all.
