Listening to this album seriously will open the door to listening to anything from blackgaze to post-metal. This album was a major influence on popularizing teutonic riffs and staccato playing typically associated with Jazz (Paige Hamilton went to music school for Jazz).

yeah no you could totally make the argument for this being one of the most influential metal albums of all time

Definitely. I don't doubt that most modern prog metal, djent, groove metal, and metalcore takes at least SOME influence from Helmet's first few records

Influential as hell, no doubt about that. On a sidenote, Page's bark is unmatched til this day

Tbh idk a lot of music theory, but do i listen to those metal genres you mentioned quite a lot, and aside from songs like "Sinatra" i don't really hear the obvious influence. Sinatra on the other hand is almost a post metal prototype. This album is way too "direct" and groovey imo, not much in terms of atmosphere

I mean, the staccato stuff Helmet introduced here was super influential... sure, it existed in the old school rock of the 70s and Godflesh had that too for post metal, but the grooves built on staccato riffing is defo a Helmet influence on bands post 90s.

The thing is, the influence was much more present in Nu and Alternative Metal. But what really seperates it from Blackgaze and Post Metal is the almost complete absence of atmospheric elements, on which the former genres so heavily rely

yeah it's weird how the wiki for this describes this as post metal when this sounds so far removed from any actual post metal
|

says 'alternative metal'/'noise rock' for me
let's see what RYM has branded it...

Helmet definitely was described as post metal on wikipedia at one point but I guess it got edited out

Album Rating: 4.5
That's because they kept citing an article by X-Press that considered this, Betty, and Aftertaste to be definitive post-metal albums. Which is weird, because as you said, there's literally no post-metal here

I feel like I should enjoy this band more but something is not quite doing it for me
Pre sure I was directed here from my love of Chevelle and Quicksand so I was hoping for a good find

Strap It On feels a lil bit more Post-Hardcore so yeah might be good to go on that one and then come back on this one.
