Imagine thinking that Baroness is challenging, noisy, loud and over-the-top.. 😂

Hot take: This isn’t THAT bad. I generally like Fridmann (The Woods is my favorite Sleater-Kinney album, and lots of people think that sounds like shit too). To be fair though, my hearing is also garbage. EITHER WAY: I still like these songs and am looking forward to the album. 

Hmm, this production bit is confusing. I think it sounds solid. Drums are pretty pronounced but it’s a good performance so what’s the big deal? 
 
I’ve listened to this album six or seven times and have not once thought anything negative about the production. 
 
To me,  this is down the most listenable get up kids album front to back… And I’ve been a fan since like four minute mile.

Don’t give a damn  about the naysayers… I’m excited for this record and if anyone is surprised about the direction that Baroness has taken - that’s their own fault. The band has continuously moved away from their earlier sound and are now into more of a progressive territory. If you don’t like it, go away.  Thousands of other people have bought this one and it will likely keep selling, keep getting press and ultimately be a good addition to their catalog. There are still 15 songs to hear and I’m looking forward to each one.

EVERYBODY PILE ON BARONESS!! AKA Nickelback lite hurr durrr! 
 
Are people seriously preordering  this band's albums and complaining over the new singles 7 YEARS after Yellow & Green came out??  That's rich!  Also, suckers! Or maybe flippers... Hah.
 
Haters coming out the woodwork to blast a band that has only gotten more popular with every release.  Love it, and I guess that's to be expected.   Baroness rules.  Comparing them to the Foo Fighters is hilarious btw.
 
Also, I don't think the band has lost anything with regards to complexity  ('Seasons' for example).  The rhythm section is tight as a mug, and the new female guitarist shreds.  Bring on the hate.
 
 

I was really skeptical of this company when it first hit the internet. After seeing what they were about and ordering some records and realizing they put out a quality product, my mind was changed. They ship their records with the works and make a 29 dollar monthly fee worth it. That’s not easy to do. 
 
Nothing but good experiences with them and while I don’t love everything they put out the good stuff more than makes up for it. I hope they stay in business and keep releasing really good records. I just ordered that De La ROTM because it’s beautiful and got TVOTR a couple weeks ago. Also that Main Source was perfect and just in time. 
Hopefully they keep it up. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Yep, I ordered this one too. It's intriguing being on that site and hearing a bunch of diehard Garth fans talk about not having record players but still wanting these sets like BAD. Honestly, it's pretty cool to take a look into another musical subculture that's so far removed from this one and observe what happens within it. Plus, for 130+ shipped and not being charged until October AND getting to pick a 6 digit number that will be pressed into it is a really good value. These albums are definitely classics and I'm pretty excited to finally own these on vinyl.

All eras of Baroness are at the very least good imo. First and Second were solid back in the day and Red and Blue were great, classics even. Yellow and Green were definitely a different side but still even with the emotional bent and less aggressive tendencies those songs hold up. Purple was a good step but for me the one that had the least staying power. Gold and Grey will probably just sound like.... Baroness, and that’s a good thing.
 
At the very least we’re gonna get an album of solid Baroness jams that likely mixes all eras of the band with killer artwork from Baizely. Thumbs up for that.
 

I think Y&G is great now. I originally thought it was a bit long winded at the time but didn't mind the more melodic direction.
But over the years i've really gotten into it more and more. Most of my favourite albums that i keep returning to are the ones that take a while to completely click.
Purple was great, bar the production, so have high hopes for this

1500 is just right for this one.  Hell, I have two copies of it so far! 

Yeah definitely big Agalloch vibes, gonna listen again now while I get the kids breakfast #metaldadlyfe

Since I believe they came before, I think you should describe TySegall as a wealthy man's Harlem.

I bought the bell witch longing LP and am stoked about it but after years of collecting have no idea why someone would want a test press of an album

Can you post a link, then? He's asking because they're, in fact, not up right now.

yep, still up, but the most limited version sold out the day it went up

These songs are amazing. Glad to hear the more than usual Dan songs on this album. Songs sound fresh, this is where Skiba belongs.

I think people are comparing this to Sunbather because it's so uplifting and full of major key jams, as well as the fact that they have "interlude" songs in between the black metal stuff.  Sunbather is it's own thing, though. 
 
If your tastes are the early material, you're probably not going to like this album because this album is full of major key bliss jams, not unhinged aggression serving as a catharsis for personal struggles and pain.  As they talked about in the interview, the band is healthy now.  This is what healthy, happy Deafheaven sounds like.  I'll take it, and more please!

First shit-in-the-cereal type post, finally.
 
Oh well, can't please them all. The truth is this record is not a huge departure for Deafheaven.
 
It's prettier and more ethereal but it still sticks to the same shit they've been doing for a while with a less aggressive tone. 
 
I can see how someone who loved New Bermuda or Roads to Judah may be turned off but the underbelly of the band is still the same.
