Mr. Grant extracts and represents all His crystalline and crooneristic class, delivering a masterful, heartfelt, captivating interpretation. The skeletal, enveloping, charming episodes transfigure original songs into calm atmospheres that insinuate themselves pleasurably between intrathoracic atria and ventricles.

The sound becomes more 'urgent,' turgid, lashing, but avoids neglecting… refining their already by no means disagreeable proposal. A great, compelling, by no means derivative little record.

The beginning deceives and unexpectedly overwhelms, but... it disappoints widely in a good part of the laborious, at times disheartened, listening experience. It seems like witnessing a not particularly exciting (and not very credible) noise-rock revival, too often lacking that essential intensity.

Helmet's 2006 album Monochrome attempts a return to their noise-rock roots but fails to recapture the raw intensity of their early records. While some tracks show sparks of nostalgia and energy, much of the album feels disheartened and uneven. Page Hamilton remains the sole original member, and the effort lacks the necessary drive to live up to the band's influential past. The vocals and certain compositions disappoint, making this release a mixed listen for longtime fans. Discover Helmet's Monochrome — listen now and decide if this noise-rock return hits the mark or misses the intensity fans crave.
