    Their third album totaling 75 minutes and spread, slightly unnecessarily, over two CDs, it reaches unexpected new heights in the pantheon of 'metal bands who mellowed out'.

    The result is flat and congealed, lacking danger.

    Throughout this often incoherent hodgepodge of tunes, Baroness has mostly abandoned the contrast that made its previous records work so well.

    I am absurdly pleased with this album. The songs flow together beautifully and balance the dynamics of heavy and melodic to perfection. OnlyI am absurdly pleased with this album.

They have simply taken the next step too many musicians these days are afraid to make.… Full Review »
