Baroness - Yellow And Green (2012)

this is one of those i albums i keep putting on because it doesn't actively annoy me and then i slowly grow to love it.

is this album good

if you liked the last two

It's different than the last two, that much is for sure.

I like Red but not Blue and love this

ok i have been listening through this and i def like green better than yellow

Green is def more interesting based on the playthroughs I did

although not quite interesting enough to make me want to buy it

CAN'T FORGET THE TASTE OF MY OWN TONGUE

Tastes like chicken iirc

na but I do <3 eula.

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.

Saw someone with a Baroness tshirt on today.
Well, bye.

lol

tons of kids coming into the shop w/baroness shirts, but i think thats thx to them opening for meshuggah recently

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.

guys i'm trying to troll whiney here c'mon

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

Holy shit. That really sucks.

Front page of BBC News website at the moment.

crossing fingers. God damn.

fuck i know the tour manager, he's a soundguy at a club in town :(

"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.

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.

The seven with more minor injuries were taken to the Royal United Hospital (RUH)."

Nice of Rick Ross to deliver the news.

my favorite song on this right now is "Twinkler" ... is that weird?

No fatalities in a fucking tour bus falling 30 feet off a precipice sounds pretty damn fortunate.

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.

The band members of Baroness and their crew are recovering from injuries sustained after their tour bus crashed outside of Bath, England early on Wednesday morning.

John Baizley has broken his left arm and left leg. Allen Blickle and Matt Maggioni each suffered fractured vertebrae. All three remain in the hospital as of this writing. Pete Adams has been treated and released from the hospital.

Three of the five crew members who were on the bus have also been treated and released. One member is still undergoing testing. The driver of the bus remains in critical condition.

Please stay tuned for further updates. Thank you for all the support during this extremely difficult time.

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.

Very powerful.

His injuries sound horrific.

Holy shit at that.

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.

I can confirm that I really really like this record!

yeah, has worn well

I couldn't really get into it, should give it another go.

Favorite 3:
Yellow Theme
Crown and Anchor
Strechmarker

Reminder: This album is awesome.

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.

couple of years

Ha, it hasn't even been out for a couple of years.

it's been out a year and nine months ... i think that's close enough to say what you said

i was listening to a lil eula, like, this morning i think

Back Where I Belong is my favourite.

Listened to this just this past week for the first time in over a year. Great record.
