I remember back in the early 90’s when Helmet had their [in my opinion, undeserved] 15 minutes of fame. I was a sophomore in high school when Betty came out, and this was probably the only decent song on it. The riff is mostrous, but I always though the vocal delivery was so weak, especially compared to other metal bands at the time, like Carcass and Entombed (Wolverine Blues had come out a year before Betty, and did nothing short of blow this out of the water). Hamilton sounds constipated at best. And now as an adult reading the lyrics, they’re typical 90’s nonsensical garbage.
