}} ''Aftertaste'' is the fourth album by Helmet, released in 1997 on Interscope. This proved to be Helmet's final album with original members John Stanier (drums) and Henry Bogdan (bass). Guitarist Rob Echeverria, who appeared on Helmet's previous outing, ''Betty'', left the group to join Biohazard. Subsequently, the album was recorded as a three-piece, with Page Hamilton covering all the guitar parts. Guitarist Chris Traynor (formerly of Orange 9mm) came on board for the supporting tour. ''Aftertaste'' harkens back to Helmet's earlier sound, omitting some of the experimental/jazz tendencies of ''Betty''. The album met with a mixed critical reaction and poor commercial response and went out of print in 2006. This album along with ''Meantime'' and ''Betty'' is considered a definitive text in post-metal. ==Writing and production== Hamilton said his goal in writing the album was to create a greater mix between smarts and crunch. "I don't want to say that I'm sick of the visceral animal response that we get - I'm not, But I need more than that. I need more than seeing a bunch of kids jumping around and breaking each other's noses. I feel like I really need to communicate with an audience who will listen. I'm painted into a corner. Whatever I write in a rock 'n' roll context will elicit a conditioned response, unless I quit rock and make a country record or something." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aftertaste (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
