4.5 superb | Thor | October 14th 08 | This album sounds the same way John Baizley looks. In the words of Channing Freeman: Fucking BURLY.

4.0 excellent | gbowles | September 9th 08 | Southern rock/metal absorbing a bunch of styles including prog rock, blues, post-hardcore (more isis than neurosis), with great vocal melodies and a few instrumental thrown in. Nicely done.

0.0 | Nicksput | December 17th 17 | Red Album is the full length debut from Baroness, and it's their best and most consistent to date. This album is all about the instruments, and there are plenty of imaginative riffs to go along with some excellent drumming. There's even some legitimate solos that don't come off as cheesy. The mostly slow grinding southern metal is interspersed by some nice mellower parts, though that it is only with the instruments, as John Baizley does not sing, and is pretty limited with his "Viking yell" style. The band works around this, as he prefers to let his guitar do the talking, and isn't really featured much, especially on the second half.

4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | October 3rd 16 | Baroness is quickly becoming one of the few stoner metal acts that do anything for yours truly, and they are doing it in style. Because while Red Album lacks the massive, infectious choruses that they'd go on to do so well on Purple, it's still a great record for reasons less obvious. The songwriting here is a pretty smooth amalgam of post-metal, stoner metal, sludge metal, prog rock, and even some southern rock as well. None of these individual parts are particularly original on their own, but the combination and execution of it all lets the album have a unique take on these styles. Partly instrumental, the album doesn't have many dull moments in its runtime, utilizing a very dreamy and somewhat uncertain atmosphere to its full potential. The musicianship is excellent, and one need only hear the final minutes of "Aleph" to know this. All of this combines to create an interesting and fun take on sludge/post/stoner/whatever, and exemplifies Baroness' ambitious nature very well.

4.5 superb | Amnesian | March 11th 16 | Real high-point for me in Baroness' output. Subsequent records are all serviceable riff-laden larks but The Red Album has a distinct sound they just didn't really maintain.

3.5 great | savaah | August 18th 14 | Mastodon meets Isis. They are maybe not that original (John's drawings are though), but there's something that keep me getting back to their albums once in a while so yeah they're good.

This album rules. Enough said.

3.5 great | Sevhead | November 16th 10 | Baroness will likely never top this. The passion of Second fused with their best songwriting to date, Red Album sees Baroness at their most comfortable.

5.0 classic | TheImpervious | August 13th 09 | Gumbo flavored post-metal that's good in bite sized pieces or as a whole meal. Sprinkle on some musicianship with a swagger and you got a deal.

4.5 superb | shevchenko | February 15th 09 | This album reworks the metal formula, while still keeping it metal. There is a lot of genius in here. Some tracks are kind of lame, and there are points in songs where it could be more interesting, but when its good, its like having all the brown sugar cinammon pop tarts you could ever want. Their melody writing is genius. and lets give some credit to what maybe one of the top 10 drummers of the decade.
