Jul 4, 2019Gold & Grey. There's some golds and greys about this album. The golds are those instrumentals though it's like hearing alternative and electronic pieces. The greys are those plain metal songs. Interesting point here is that this album is a metal album, and those songs aren't even tethered. It's like you're hearing 2 albums (an instrumental and a metal one) in a shuffled playlist.

Jun 28, 2019I love Baroness. IMO they are a breath of fresh air where Metal and Rock are concerned. I was really looking forward to Gold & Grey, but after several listens I just can't seem to get into it. Who knows maybe I need to take a break from the album and re-listen, or perhaps I may gain a new appreciation for the album after hearing it live, but for now its just a 5 out of 10. Still a fan though!

Jul 22, 2019While their more reflective and even pop-oriented moments keep the double album catchy and worth revisiting, this new avenue also affords a clearer view of Baroness' Achilles' heels, which are a propensity for predictable lyrics and an occasional Foo Fighter sappiness. But those flaws aren't terminal, and for the most part, Baroness takes us on a thunderous langskip ride through angry seas that is as addictive and thrilling as their past output.

Q MagazineJul 2, 2019Stellar fifth album is a determined attempt to push back the genre's long-established boundaries, folding in everything from glitchy electronica and lysergic Americana to gnarled pop into their full-frontal noise. [Aug 2019, p.108]

Jun 27, 2019With Gold & Grey, Baizley and his cohorts have produced a monumental work of art that’s as dark and forbidding as it is bright and triumphant. It perfectly balances light and dark, revels in the creative possibilities of music-making, whilst plumbing emotional depths that might have you worrying a little for Baizley’s state of mind.
