It’s clear that the reviewer has experienced Thin White Rope; for others, there’s nothing left but to listen to them, or rather feel them, as the guy in comment no. 6 seems to struggle to express. I remember one of their concerts on a sweltering night, just like "Red Sun" from the self-titled EP, and this album is one of the best records of the 80s for me. I don’t know why, but they evoke the same feeling as Quicksilver Messenger Service’s "Happy Trails."

And with what courage would Iggy Pop today do stage-diving? Considering his latest album where he sings "Le Foglie morte," he might as well put on a tailsuit and strike poses like a seated chansonnier with a cigarette at the corner of his mouth—forget about stage diving. The Exploited may be snubbed, but if I put on their "Fuck the system" from 2002, I realize how they shred every other pseudo-punk band that was popular at that time, including Offspring.

I'm sorry that it didn't come across live, his performance "Welcome to the club" was truly exceptional, there's a fiery medley with Once Bitten/ Bastard/ Cleveland Rocks... but it has been thirty years too :-)

Robbie Robertson humbly comes to me, The Band split also due to Robbie's pretentiousness as he wanted to have control over the songwriting. When talking about this album, one cannot overlook the production by Daniel Lanois, who also produced U2, and indeed the atmospheres of the record are heavily influenced by his touch. Robertson's second album, "Storyville," which he self-produced, is much more heartfelt and genuine, more rootsy and less tamed than this one from an imposing producer like Lanois.

Bravo Lewis, but I don't have an exciting memory of this album; they sounded like meandering, mournful Can lost in Barrettian swamps.

for me, however, his masterpiece remains Chapter 3 Viva Emiliano Zapata, the final suite smokes the Latin rock of Santana :-)

Too far ahead? When I saw it at the cinema, while witnessing the final war in the condominium, I remember exclaiming "damn it, he's copied the last episode of Strane Storie!" (which had come out four years earlier). That one with the war in the condominium between the "northern" poor family and the "southern" rich one.

But I don't think it's about loving or not loving Helmet; it's about an album, or rather, it's an album that speaks. I don't even love them like I might love Thin White Rope (to mention something completely different), but this album in its monolithic nature spakka (to quote azzo).

The JBLs have the special quality of being the best speakers for listening to rock; they pump it like no other speaker can. They're not suited for jazz or classical music, nor for new wave. Put on the second side of the vinyl of New Improved! by Blue Cheer, the one with Randy Holden on guitar, and you realize they were made for that music.

@odradek: I listened, and I wonder about the purpose of this operation; however, it emphasizes the greatness of the songs on this album. Yet some trip-hop solutions seem to detract significantly from the simplicity that was the great strength of Skip’s tracks, rendering them rather oleographic. However, the psychedelic rendition of "Little Hands" with Wilco providing support is truly beautiful.
