Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Quirky indie-pop chart botherers The Futureheads have already established themselves as Top 30 heroes with the spectacular 'Decent Days & Nights' & with 'Meantime' they look set to repeat the success & then some. 'Meantime' is a blisteringly spiky slice of angular pop from Sunderland's answer to Franz Ferdinand. Taken from the self-titled 2004 debut album. The title track is backed with one non-LP track 'Alms' (acappella version). 679. 2004.
where is Helmet now ? prob. working at 7-11
In some ways, it almost seems strange to slap the "metal" tag on a band like Helmet. Sure, they wrote this album that is bludgeoningly heavy with songs that would blow your head clean off your body from the outset but beyond that, Helmet shared little with the dyed-in-the-wool metal bands from the early 1990's.
I suppose that this is where the whole nu-metal tag comes in, due to the nu-metal kingpins to follow utilizing the stop-start riffing that Helmet mastered out of the gate. However, those comparisons end when you get into these songs.
Unlike Korn and Deftones that followed, Helmet combined that riffing style with head-snapping time changes, absolutely monster grooves and a strange combination of vast musical influence filtered through a seemingly minimalist approach, all of this done with no use of samples, rapping or tortured soul gimmicks. Helmet was strictly about the music.
Maybe this is why their flirtation with the mainstream didn't last. They had nothing by way of gimmicks to offer the growing number of angst-filled teens that were a year or so away from the transition from grungy teen to Johnathan Davis impersonator. For those (and there are many of them) always on the hunt for the next fad to grasp onto for lack of true identity, Helmet provided those of us looking for music with substance an album that still could blow us away almost 15 years after it appeared on store shelves. "Meantime" is precisely that album.
To the disinterested ear, this could easily sound like the same song over and over; all of the songs are in "Drop-D" tuning, and all but one (Unsung) are in the key of D. But the grooves that Page Hamilton concocted are tremendously diverse. He perfected the art of "adding a beat" to his riffs at certain key points, resulting in very subtle shifts that catch the listener by surprise; the solo in "Ironhead" and the middle section of "Unsung" are two prime examples. He also knew how to write riffs in 5/4 that flow naturally ("Better," "Turned Out"); and he came close to writing a big-band swing tune for Helmet with "Give It."
Sonically, this album showed a quantum leap over the low-fi production of their debut, "Strap It On." Every single note and drum crack is well-defined; the guitar solo in "Turned Out" sounds like a guitar vomiting. And "FBLA II" features John Stanier's all time tastiest drum fills.
If you never heard this album, I'm sorry you missed out on such an amazing band. But if this album came out today, it would still sound fresh! Buy it!
Musically, it's clearly evident that frontman Page Hamilton listened to a lot of Black Sabbath while making this record. "Meantime" is full of sludgy riffs and even some Ozzy-esque vocals (which are especially apparent on the song "Unsung").
Songs like "Ironhead," "Give It," "He Feels Bad," and "You Borrowed" best illustrate Helmet's famous stop-start rhythms (and "Ironhead" even has fast, almost galloping guitars), and "Unsung" and "Turned Out" have the aforementioned sludgy riffs, which lurch and almost bob. Elsewhere,"In the Meantime" has a heavy, grooving main riff, "Better" and "Role Model" should quench your cravings for a heavy song ("Better" has some heavy yells, and "Role Model" has heavy, churning riffs), and "F.B.L.A. II" has a guitar solo and some everything-but-the-kitchen sink drumming.
For whatever reason, this album has aged very well (better than most nu-metal records). This may be because Helmet were such an original band, or maybe because Page isn't constantly yelling about "nookies" and hatred. Or maybe it's because "Meantime" has a few guitar solos, and guitar solos are foreign to almost all other nu-metal bands. But, whatever the reason, Helmet are not normally grouped with nu-metal bands, so they are one of the few bands whose albums sales didn't plummet when nu-metal collapsed. Thus, it's OK if your friends know you listen to Helmet--they won't laugh at you.
In conclusion, this is where nu-metal began, so if you hate nu-metal, you should hate these guys; but everybody who enjoys nu or alternative metal, and those who are fans of Korn, Deftones, Tool, etc. should definitely check out "Meantime." And even if you don't listen to Helmet, you should definitely give them props for essentially being a modern day Black Sabbath and creating a whole genre--even though that genre would die off about a decade later.
And then there's this.
What a disappointment. My guess is that there's a lot more to her not joining the reformed Mac. This is such a poor effort. The songs are commercial in a way that her fine tuned songs that reached artistic or commerical success never had to stoop. Christine, there was a period when we loved you. This cd was a tough break up for me, but it's just time to tell myself it's time to move on. Adios.
Yes, she sounds great.....no this is not her best songwriting ( ala "booze" ) and yes the comparisons to FM are unmistakable on a few tracks but unfortunately there are too many throw away tracks.
Friend, You Are, Northern Star & Giving It Back should have been on FM's 2003, SAY YOU WILL and we wouldn't be here leaving disapointing reviews.
Chris, come back to us
I have recordings of Christine's all the way back to Kiln House. I absolutely love them. I have even made my own compilations of only her songs for my personal enjoyment. So, it's not that there's just too much Christine here and that Stevie and Lindsey, John and Mick are missing. It just isn't an immensely enjoyable album to listen to. I would probably stop in my tracks to listen to every lyric of a single song from this if it popped in over the sound system while I was out shopping. But as a whole, to me, the album is too repetitive. As a huge fan, I can honestly say that she has given us decades of beautiful music and has certainly given more to the world than most of us reading/writing these reviews. Christine, despite what I feel about this album, when all is said and done, you deserve a lifetime acheivement award. That's how good CHRISTINE MCVIE is....
Blur may have strategically packaged all their singles and b sides in a cool case logic type packaging, divided them in 22 cds and 127 songs all in all, but it is worth it for all of you die hard blur fans. Blur singles are hard to find in America and so here is our answer. The lucky consumers will even get some live tracks. Blur's music have changed since their early years. The contents of the 22 cds will then cater to Blur fans who liked their music then and now. Each cd neatly enclosed in the singles' original cover sleeve, the whole collection may become valuable in the new millenium. Mind you only 7000 box sets are released, each with its own serial number.
I LOVE THIS CD.

Christine McVie, Fleetwood Mac's cool as an oyster chanteuse--ying to Stevie Nick's quirky yang--decided to pass on Mac's latest reunion efforts, prompting her former bandmates to insist that the icy blonde was fed up with the music business, and planned to retreat to her country home. But it seems that McVie was only fed up with her former compatriots, and stealthily recorded In the Meantime, her first solo album in two decades rather than participate in reconfiguring the seventies pop monolith. And just so we know she means business, she not-so-cryptically tackles the invitation from Mick, Stevie, Lindsay and John on the anxious and vituperrious "Bad Journey," leaving no doubt in fan's minds that she's shut the door on her past for good. Meantime finds the formerly winsome musician newly empowered with claws fully extended--penning songs that crackle with ire and ennui without any of the frothy self-deception of the past, whether on the casual hit-or-miss sex of "Anything is Possible" or the chilly kiss-off of "Sweet Revenge." --Jaan UhelszkiCustomer Reviews:

Music That Tells the Story is the companion to spiritual guru Iyanla Vanzant's self-help bestseller of the same name and incorporates the principles laid out in the book. Blending spiritual wisdom with common sense, the author tells us how to come out of the "basement" and live vibrantly even while we're waiting to manifest our wildest dreams of love and connectedness. Vanzant calls this "the meantime"--a place one will revisit periodically through life's unfolding. Interspersing smooth inspirational R&B tunes with bits of juicy text read by the author, the disc espouses nuggets such as "Love doesn't hurt; falling into the traps we set for love makes us hurt ourselves." The songs, some cowritten and performed by Vanzant, are both old and new, and are sung by a group of artists including Kelly Price, Yolanda Adams, and Faith Evans. Successful in its mission, the recording is affirmation for a life fully lived in the absence of perfection. --Paige La GroneCustomer Reviews:

A great CD that was ripped off by a not so great genre.......2006-10-30
does anyone still listen to this band ?.......2006-07-19
where is Helmet now ? prob. working at 7-11
A Mammoth Album.......2006-07-13
In some ways, it almost seems strange to slap the "metal" tag on a band like Helmet. Sure, they wrote this album that is bludgeoningly heavy with songs that would blow your head clean off your body from the outset but beyond that, Helmet shared little with the dyed-in-the-wool metal bands from the early 1990's.
I suppose that this is where the whole nu-metal tag comes in, due to the nu-metal kingpins to follow utilizing the stop-start riffing that Helmet mastered out of the gate. However, those comparisons end when you get into these songs.
Unlike Korn and Deftones that followed, Helmet combined that riffing style with head-snapping time changes, absolutely monster grooves and a strange combination of vast musical influence filtered through a seemingly minimalist approach, all of this done with no use of samples, rapping or tortured soul gimmicks. Helmet was strictly about the music.
Maybe this is why their flirtation with the mainstream didn't last. They had nothing by way of gimmicks to offer the growing number of angst-filled teens that were a year or so away from the transition from grungy teen to Johnathan Davis impersonator. For those (and there are many of them) always on the hunt for the next fad to grasp onto for lack of true identity, Helmet provided those of us looking for music with substance an album that still could blow us away almost 15 years after it appeared on store shelves. "Meantime" is precisely that album.
The gospel according to Page.......2005-11-02
To the disinterested ear, this could easily sound like the same song over and over; all of the songs are in "Drop-D" tuning, and all but one (Unsung) are in the key of D. But the grooves that Page Hamilton concocted are tremendously diverse. He perfected the art of "adding a beat" to his riffs at certain key points, resulting in very subtle shifts that catch the listener by surprise; the solo in "Ironhead" and the middle section of "Unsung" are two prime examples. He also knew how to write riffs in 5/4 that flow naturally ("Better," "Turned Out"); and he came close to writing a big-band swing tune for Helmet with "Give It."
Sonically, this album showed a quantum leap over the low-fi production of their debut, "Strap It On." Every single note and drum crack is well-defined; the guitar solo in "Turned Out" sounds like a guitar vomiting. And "FBLA II" features John Stanier's all time tastiest drum fills.
If you never heard this album, I'm sorry you missed out on such an amazing band. But if this album came out today, it would still sound fresh! Buy it!
A great start for a short-lived genre.......2005-09-18
Musically, it's clearly evident that frontman Page Hamilton listened to a lot of Black Sabbath while making this record. "Meantime" is full of sludgy riffs and even some Ozzy-esque vocals (which are especially apparent on the song "Unsung").
Songs like "Ironhead," "Give It," "He Feels Bad," and "You Borrowed" best illustrate Helmet's famous stop-start rhythms (and "Ironhead" even has fast, almost galloping guitars), and "Unsung" and "Turned Out" have the aforementioned sludgy riffs, which lurch and almost bob. Elsewhere,"In the Meantime" has a heavy, grooving main riff, "Better" and "Role Model" should quench your cravings for a heavy song ("Better" has some heavy yells, and "Role Model" has heavy, churning riffs), and "F.B.L.A. II" has a guitar solo and some everything-but-the-kitchen sink drumming.
For whatever reason, this album has aged very well (better than most nu-metal records). This may be because Helmet were such an original band, or maybe because Page isn't constantly yelling about "nookies" and hatred. Or maybe it's because "Meantime" has a few guitar solos, and guitar solos are foreign to almost all other nu-metal bands. But, whatever the reason, Helmet are not normally grouped with nu-metal bands, so they are one of the few bands whose albums sales didn't plummet when nu-metal collapsed. Thus, it's OK if your friends know you listen to Helmet--they won't laugh at you.
In conclusion, this is where nu-metal began, so if you hate nu-metal, you should hate these guys; but everybody who enjoys nu or alternative metal, and those who are fans of Korn, Deftones, Tool, etc. should definitely check out "Meantime." And even if you don't listen to Helmet, you should definitely give them props for essentially being a modern day Black Sabbath and creating a whole genre--even though that genre would die off about a decade later.
