Album
Size Matters
Size Matters is the fifth studio album by American alternative metal band Helmet, released on 5 October 2004 through Interscope Records. It was the first record the band had made since their bitter break-up in 1998, so it carries the weight of a return as well as a new set of songs.
Within Helmet's run of albums, it follows Aftertaste (1997) and comes before Monochrome (2006). It also closed their time with Interscope, making it the last Helmet album to appear on the label. For anyone who knows the early records, Strap It On, Meantime and Betty, it is the one that shows what the band sounded like after their split and reunion.
