On STRAP IT ON, their debut album, Paige Hamilton and the boys create some of the hardest-hitting metal around. Each song is laden with a saturated distortion that sounds like a Mack truck in need of a tune up, and culminates in a sudden break that sounds like that same truck hitting a brick wall at 100mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe critics called Helmet's brand of heavy metal \"sludge-rock,\" but that term implies a sloppiness absent from STRAP IT ON, on which the band sounds like a well-oiled machine. Efficient and impacting, STRAP IT ON earned Helmet an instant cult following upon its release in 1990. Songs such as \"Bad Mood,\" \"Sinatra,\" and \"Blacktop\" are grunge classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1992-12-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1992-12-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Helmet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45221879808115,"sku":"Z30JL6-CDWJ-ZG","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/helmet-strap-it-on_uC2Gs.jpg?v=1783822002","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/helmet-strap-it-on","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
