As a result, the band returned to straightforward Helmet territory with Aftertaste, restoring grinding guitars and pummeling rhythms to prominence. Theoretically, this approach should have made Aftertaste a more immediate, visceral record, but it is simply numbing. Without the invention of Betty or the gut-level force of Meantime, Helmet is simply a bland alternative metal band, lacking riffs, hooks, and purpose and relying only on volume.

The first Helmet album I heard was unsurprisingly Meantime, and it made a big impression on my young ears. The thunderous backbeats and driving dropped D riffs led me to convulsively stomp my feet and bang my head around, and how could you not" The raw power of this band captivated me and I immediately needed more. Aftertaste is essentially a culmination of these development stages for Helmet. The songs on Aftertaste are typically heavy, though without the relentless, surging power of Meantime and with yet more production value than Betty.
