More about 'Yellow & Green'

Baroness delivered something truly magnificent with "Yellow & Green", their ambitious double album that marked a pivotal moment in the band's evolution. This sprawling masterpiece sees the Savannah quartet expanding far beyond their sludge metal origins, weaving intricate progressive passages with their signature heavy foundation. The yellow disc opens with atmospheric themes before launching into crushing anthems like "Take My Bones Away" and the mesmerizing "March To The Sea", while tracks like "Little Things" showcase the band's newfound melodic sensibilities. The interplay between John Baizley's soaring vocals and the dual guitar work creates landscapes that feel both crushing and beautiful.

The green portion of this epic journey takes listeners through even more adventurous territory, with "Board Up The House" demonstrating the band's ability to craft infectious hooks without sacrificing their metal edge. Songs like "Mtns. (The Crown & Anchor)" and the haunting closer "If I Forget Thee, Lowcountry" reveal Baroness at their most emotionally vulnerable and musically sophisticated. The production captures every nuance of their expanded sound palette, from whisper-quiet interludes to earth-shaking crescendos that'll make your speakers beg for mercy.

For fans of: Mastodon, Neurosis, Torche, Red Fang and Kylesa
