  1. This is a ferocious album that's not afraid to be genuinely beautiful. One of the best hard rock releases of 2009.
  2. Blue Record truly depicts a band at the peak of their powers. [Nov 2009, p.106]
  3. Complex enough to reward repetitive listening and compact enough to encourage it, Blue Record is one of the year's most generous hours.

    Awesome album. Not the biggest metal fan out there, I merely dabble. This album, however, remained in my car player for the better part of (coming on) two months. At points I feel like I'm listening to a Pink Floyd song, moments later I remember "Thats right! Sludge metal, not classic rock!" Expand

  3. This album is unbelievable. I am not a big metal fan at all, I typically dislike the hardcore vocals of most bands; however, Baroness has managed to make their vocals fit in perfectly with their music along with the beautifully composed music. Listening through the album in its proper order and progression also adds to the epic nature of the album. It is one of my favorite albums ever. Expand
