roadmonkey Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 \m/ Hell Yeah! Went with Dirge. Looks like they are all /500 with signed inner lining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Crazy pricing, high shipping, and I wasn't too impressed with their last album. Limited, great colorways, and signed though... Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I’m waiting to hear the mixing and mastering of the whole album. Don’t want to pay almost $50 for a record that could sound like it was mixed underwater. Those variants ‘in theory’ are rad. Hope they come out as intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I loved Gold & Grey, but this first single is really underwhelming. Will probably cave for the black LP, but I hope there is more excitement on the record... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfactor675 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Indie exclusive red costs as much as the black on their site, if you want a cheaper option. https://downinthevalley.com/UPC/850053211188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Looks like Bob Ludwig did the mastering so we should be in luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twatay Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 I never got a postcard either, kinda bummed about it. You can try entering your email address to unlock and then order the exclusive variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Yeah, tried that. No dice. Oh well, ended up ordering the "Beneath the Rose" variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2notepockets Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 New song sounds like a poor man's Torche with bad karaoke vocals. twatay and solitaryreign 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrackt Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I love Baroness. Gold and Grey was great and loved the production. Single is pretty solid here. I think Stone is a great title because it kind of could be a color but it’s still different. Bought 2 copies I think the Dirge one looks great.

cautionthieves Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Had my 'Shine' copy arrive on release day and honestly, they've nailed every facet of it. The variant, artwork, layout and signed insert are all spot on. Really enjoying the album so far and feel like it's only going to get better the more I listen to it. thetrackt, seku, drewberinger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 This is going to be the first Baroness album I don't buy. It has a few moments, but overall, I'm really disappointed with the effort. twatay and Derek™ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I’d say that I like it overall, but there are a few misses on it for me. I haven’t really been able to get into the talk-singing that John does on Beneath the Rose and Choir. I like other bands that sing like that but so far it hasn’t clicked for me when he does it. Then there are a couple of the mellower songs that seem more like interludes than actual songs, so it makes it feel like there are only 4 or 5 actual songs on the album. It makes it feel kind of short. But, it’s growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side 2 has a weird silent (very quiet) transition, but other than that, I find it to be a really enjoyable album. The talk-singing didn't feel as awkward on the 2nd spin fwiw. To your point, it does feel really short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrackt Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 This will definitely be a grower and I think that's intentional. Honestly it's the first Baroness record in years that doesn't make me sad. Like, emotionally sad because the songs are sad. It's a bit more of a fun listen in that way which I appreciate. This one feels like a great mix of their old and new styles - and we get some pretty intense Baizeley growls, too. Album art is gorgeous, vinyl is heavy and the songs are really good. Thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
