Born Annoying
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Born Annoying, Helmet's 1995 follow-up on Amphetamine Reptile Records, shows a band uninterested in repeating past success and pushing toward greater aggression and rawness. Songs are shorter and denser, arrangements more cluttered, punk attitude more pronounced—the overall effect is controlled chaos delivered with technical precision. The production is heavy and clear, deployed toward maximum impact rather than accessibility. Melody retreats in favor of sheer riff density and kinetic energy, with hardcore elements taking center stage. It's a record that demonstrates the band's refusal of easy answers, choosing instead to explore darker, more uncompromising creative territory.
