Helmet – Meantime (Vinyl)
Meantime occupies an interesting space in rock music. It’s a perfect metal album without actually adhering to many metal characteristics, and it’s a stunning noise rock record performed with far more discipline than “noise” is meant to entail. It also occupies a unique space in the band’s own discography. Their 1994 follow-up, 'Betty', threw far more experimental elements into the mix, and 1997’s 'Aftertast', while more consistent in sound, didn’t have the same cohesion in quality.
They broke up in 1998, and since then Page Hamilton has re-launched Helmet and released three more albums. In 1992, however, Helmet achieved perfection, which is a triumph few bands are fortunate enough to pull off. (www.treblezine.com)

Info columns
PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
