green is more varied than yellow, but the songwriting isn't anywhere near as strong, overall, imo. and i like the more elaborate production and arrangements on yellow.

you know what's kind of a better overblown arty proggy mainstream hard rock record than this? the new smashing pumpkins

ugh no. the Pumpkins record *sounds* better than they have in a while but the songs just aren't there.

Yeah, even as a Pumpkins stan and someone who enjoys Oceania much more than I expected too, there is no way it is better than Yellow & Green.

Apparently this is the Baroness tour bus. I saw them in Bristol last night, they were incredibly. Hope to fuck everyone's ok.

"One of the pair who suffered multiple fractures was taken to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol and the other to the Royal United Hospital in Bath.
The seven with more minor injuries were taken to the Royal United Hospital (RUH)."
Thankfully it is looking like there are no fatalities. Which is very lucky when you look at the state of the coach.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Thursday, 16 August 2012 11:44 (eleven years ago) link
It was a bit weird seeing this on the news. I walked past the coach on Tuesday night and had a good look, next time I see it it's stuck in a tree.

not at all! it's this album's "steel that sleeps the eye" (nearly the same vocal, tbh), and "steel" is gorgeous. plus it's track 5. track 5 is always dope.

just saw that. How serious is vertebral fracture? It does not usually impact the nerves, does it?

There was one moment in the crash that cut me deeply. For one heartbeat and one tiny sliver of time, I became disconnected entirely. It was, specifically, the moment I impacted with the glass. In that barest heartbeat of a moment, I came face to face with the infinite. I didn’t see a light, or the tunnel or hear any music. Nor did I get a “best-of” montage of my life. Instead, I felt the tip of my nose brush up against the very same fate I had accepted moments before. I looked into a cold, unreflective mirror. It was the dark, silent, dispassionate logic of the end. I realized in that moment that life can be seen as a light switch: “on” or “off”. When the moment passed and I heard the screaming, felt the pain, and tasted my own blood, I was overcome with joy. I was ecstatic to be back amidst all that chaos and horror because it was alive and real.

I love this album more today than I did when I started this thread and can't wait for these guys to get back on the road and play somewhere near me. I'll be there.

Finally got into this after a couple of years of not being able to get over the yarliness of the vocals. But damn these are some well-crafted songs.

Theory: Baroness would be bigger than Mastodon right now if their bus hadn't crashed a month after Yellow & Green was released.
― alpine static, Thursday, 16 October 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
They've still got time to be bigger than Mastodon, I reckon they might be after the next album (they're poppier!).
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 October 2014 09:31 (nine years ago) link
mastodon has kind of sunk into a rut of "consistently-decent-sometimes-really-good-but-not-really-extraordinary-anymore" so baroness's time would be now.
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 17 October 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
I kinda agree with this, but in the world we actually live in, I feel like their moment has passed. The crash cost them a ton of momentum, plus they've had so many lineup changes over the years that now it really is just John Baizley and some sidemen; "band identity" has been lost (as represented by the tracks on Y&G that clearly feature drum machines).
