"Like I Care" comes off Aftertaste, Helmet's fourth album, which Interscope put out in 1997, and it is all Page Hamilton on the writing side: words and music, plus the vocal and every guitar part, since Rob Echeverria had left for Biohazard and the band made the record as a trio. Henry Bogdan plays bass and John Stanier drums, and it was the last album either original member made with Helmet. Jane Scarpantoni adds cello, a curveball on a Helmet track.
David Sardy produced with the band and recorded it with Greg Gordon, and Terry Date mixed. After the jazzy detours of Betty, Aftertaste went back to the band's earlier, blunter attack, though the album drew mixed reviews, sold modestly and had gone out of print by 2006.
