What matters most is, with Monochrome, Helmet is back to doing what they do best.

The New York TimesIt’s the sound the band became known with: big guitars playing suspended chords, crisp drums, barked verses and carefully sung choruses. [17 Jul 2006]

Alternative PressMonochrome is marred by Hamilton's vocals. [Sep 2006, p.218]
-
With Monochrome, Hamilton seems to have realised that stepping away from the majors and their requisite studio production sludge can only be a good thing. Now, if he can find a new direction to blaze in rather than re-tread thrice-covered ground, he may be on to something.

For the most part, songs lumber along with little forward motion.
-
The band has reached its absolute nadir on Monochrome, which commits the cardinal sin of any music: it is freaking boring.
