3.0 goodJAV | January 13th 09

Contains some cool songs like, Pure, Driving Nowhere, Exactly What You Wanted and Insatiable but kind of a bland follow up to Betty. Tries to recapture the glory of Meantime but falls short.

4.5 superbVictor Silveira | June 23rd 14

Oh, this album. It takes their sound to a more melodic side, and man, it certainly works. The album feels like a natural step for the band after "Betty", and it's a mix of all that Helmet had done before it(maybe except Strap It On). Standouts are (High) Visibility, Driving Nowhere and Pure.

Bump

2.5 averageTheManMachine | June 13th 13

Aftertaste has its moments ("Like I Care"!!) but overall seems generic when compared to Meantime and Betty. However, still leagues ahead of most of what their 'peers' were putting out at the time.

4.5 superbhappyfunball | November 2nd 12

More of the same from Helmet, and that is not a bad thing. Several tracks found on "Aftertaste" are actually probably a step above those featured on "Betty", but the album doesn't have the natural flow and variation of "Betty". I will say that there is more actual singing as opposed to the mostly barked gruff vocals found on previous releases which is nice at times. Still, you can't go wrong with anything Page Hamilton touches and this is no exception.

this is a reall underrated album its a lot more melodic but still holds its own i give it a 4

Bump

3.0 goodHenry8 | December 22nd 08

Too many songs that sound exactly alike without any of their earlier ferocity to make it worthwhile.
