i got this double band of susans Cd comp thing not long ago and i don't think i knew that there was this weird proto-helmet phase of that band. it's not great stuff and sounds really weird next to older cooler band of susans stuff. which i like a lot.

or maybe not even proto-helmet. i never heard the last couple of records and page isn't even on them now that i look. anyway, weird beefy grunge-era band of susans.

love agenda and the word and the flesh are still essential though. they sound even better to me now than they did back then.

I've come around on Helmet since 2003, when I posted way upthread about seeing Caspar Brötzmann Massaker open for them. Now I have their first four albums in my iPod. I've still never heard the album Page and Caspar did together. I should get around to that one day.

Scott, the last BoS album is pretty great. There's at least one essential song Pardon My French, and I pretty much love the whole thing, though the opening track is on the gothy side (which might not be a problem for many). I'm sure you can find a cheap copy...

I think it is possible to mix skronky guitar with Beatle harmonies, but that new Helmet tune is not the recipe.

I’m kind of amazed by how few people are vouching for Strap it On. I still think it’s their one truly perfect album

I listened to Strap It On the other week and it was OK but their run from Meantime through Aftertaste is the good stuff.
