Betty 2LP (RSD First)

Now considered a cult classic, Betty was originally released on June 21, 1994, on Interscope Records. Helmet and T-Ray produced all of the album’s songs, except for “Milquetoast, ” which was produced by Butch Vig. Rolling Stone would go on to hail it as “one of Helmet’s most beloved albums, as well as a landmark of mid-Nineties metal” and note, “Tracks like ‘Wilma’s Rainbow, ‘ ‘I Know’ and ‘Milquetoast’ (which had appeared earlier that year, as ‘Milktoast, ‘ on the soundtrack to the Brandon Lee film The Crow) continued the band’s riff-as-power-tool aesthetic, while also expanding on it… exploring jazz (‘Beautiful Love’), blues (‘Sam Hell’) and oddball funk (‘The Silver Hawaiian’).”
