HELMET: SEEING EYE DOG Seventh Studio Album Special Edition (2010)

Seeing Eye Dog is the seventh studio album by Helmet, released on September 7, 2010, via Work Song, the label imprint shared by singer/songwriter Joe Henry and Helmet mainman Page Hamilton‘s manager. It was their first album in four years since the release of Monochrome in 2006.

The NewReview gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 and stated

“…Helmet still rock, but really haven’t been able to recapture the magic of their first three releases. I do have to say that I found Seeing Eye Dog to be better than Aftertaste, Size Matters and Monochrome combined. This album probably won’t open any new doors for the band. But just like that old dog that you’ve grown up with, even with all their faults, it sure is nice to still have them by your side.”

Seeing Eye Dog was released in five different formats. Every separate edition of the album included a bonus live album recorded on July 8, 2006, in San Francisco at The Warped Tour.

1. Digital Only (New album plus 1 live album)
