Helmet - Betty album cover | |||||||||||||||
Betty is the third album by Helmet, released in 1994 on Interscope. The album was highly anticipated after the band's successful sophomore effort, Meantime. Usually regarded as Helmet's "experimental" album, it features a more musically-broad approach with forays into jazz and blues. However, Helmet's sonic trademarks of crunchy riffs and pounding drums still defined the album. The album's biggest hit, "Milquetoast", also appeared in alternate form on The Crow soundtrack as "Milktoast". Its video was in regular rotation on MTV, and videos for "Wilma's Rainbow" and "Biscuits For Smut" were also released.
This album coincided with Helmet's first personnel change, with Rob Echeverria replacing the departed Peter Mengede on guitar. Betty received almost unanimously-favorable reviews from critics.
