I am absurdly pleased with this album. The songs flow together beautifully and balance the dynamics of heavy and melodic to perfection. Only a fool would pigeon hole this band as metal after the metamorphosis that was Red and Blue. They are musicians that are evolving as they learn about themselves, the world, and what it means to grow. They are far from stale and have not gone soft. They have simply taken the next step too many musicians these days are afraid to make.… Expand

This album took me a few listens, because I was expecting some more of the same Baroness that I know and love. Overall, it is a very mellow record for them. Baizley has certainly cleaned up the vocals, and the backing vocals stand out a lot more. There are some very nice instrumental moments, some great heavy moments, but overall it is a very enjoyable listen. In a year where I've been let down by a lot of albums that I've been looking forward to, this does not disappoint. Just buy it, crank it up, and enjoy the ride.… Expand

Some nice metal moments and trademark neo-medieval ballads scattered throughout, but runs out of steam somewhere near the end of the first disk. I don't care that Baroness has moved even further from their.metal roots, in fact, it's their innovative transgression of metal boundaries that makes them so great. But too much of this album sounds like uninspired 90s alternative. It's better than a lot of crap that will be released this year, but by Baroness standards, I'd say it's a disappointment.… Expand

All I can say is two albums for the price of one. While I only liked two songs on the Green Album I loved every song on the yellow album, making it another success in my opinion. If the two albums were released separately I'd have a different opinion but seeing as they coupled the two I really like the new album(s).

This is by no means a bad album. In fact, it's quite an enjoyable listen. Above anything, I found it...simply....odd. There are many contrasting and/or conflicting ideas happening, often times within a single track. Baizley has gone many new places vocally, singing beautifully clean in some places, and nearing his trademark howl in others. Baroness' dueling guitars still remain prevalent and welcome, but they are often used in the strangest of places. Often times, it seems as if they were added just because the band felt obligated to add some pizzazz to an otherwise simple hard rock tune. Overall, the Yellow/Green formula works moderately well, but there are a few red flags flying at places down the road.… Expand

At first listen, Yellow & Green seems to have the essence of a slightly muddled and anomalous experimental creation when compared to the previous servings of Baroness, and it will be a flavour that some diehards won't like or expect. Some experimental sounds just stay experimental no matter how many times you listen, Storm Corrosion as one classic example. But gradually, the more you listen to Yellow & Green, experimental actually gives way to invention, artistry and purpose, and suddenly it becomes a ripened sound that gives the impression that Baroness have blended and bottled all of their previous work, and stored it away in a dark cellar, and just waited for it to age, mellow and mature before opening it. Yellow & Green is a full bodied, rich and flavoursome album that gives the listener an audible delicacy, that leaves behind a lingering bittersweet aftertaste that definitely has you coming back for another swig. Yellow & Green. Best served with time.… Expand

While this double album was easily the most anticipated release of this year, Yellow and Green fizzled like stale sprite.Some call this style progressive, mellow and other words that just mask what this album really is.
It is a boring mediocre record from a great band, it reeks of filler, guidance of production and Nickelback influenced **** rock.I habe the double vinyl pre release and while the layout and artwork are supreme...
That doesn't justify the total lack of rock inside said package.I am bothered by the fact that this polished turd of an album was ever considered a good idea from anyone in the Baroness camp. Maybe the other guys were too afraid to speak up in fear they would also be replaced? All in all its the greatest rock n roll swindle in quite some time.… Expand
