    I really really wanted to like this one. I was sadden that they broke up after Aftertaste and joyful when I heard they were back together. For me, Aftertaste is an amazing CD. Size Matters is purely generic. Nothing special. After several rotations only the first song stands out at all and it would be a B side for any of their other CDs. So, pass very quickly.

Stick with Meantime and Aftertaste and be thankful that Helmet gave metal 2 top tier CDs to worship.… Expand

    The overall sound is a bit too polished and loses some of the raw power edge that previous albums rode to critical success.

    An occasionally catchy but ultimately bland attempt at recapturing past glory. [8 Oct 2004, p.114]

    A disappointing barrage of lethargic metal. [Dec 2004, p.137]
