"See You Dead" was Helmet's comeback shot in 2004: the lead single from Size Matters, the American alternative metal band's fifth album, out on Interscope, and their first single since getting back together, nearly seven years after the last one.
The first reviews were rough. Blabbermouth.net heard a poppy, radio-ready number closer to generic modern rock than the crushing Helmet of old, and Pitchfork's David Raposa held it up unfavorably against Burning Airlines' "Wheaton Calling". Time has been kinder. Norma Jean singer Cory Brandon counted it among his favorite Helmet songs in 2017, and in 2019 Kerrang!'s Dan Slessor, looking back over the whole catalog, picked it as one of the album's high points and one of the most melodic, hook-heavy things the band ever cut.
