I picked up the new Baroness, Blue Record on a lunch break genuinely wanting to like it. I had heard enough intriguing hype from MS and other sources to encourage me to buy it - and as with every album I plunk potential beer money down on, I want to enjoy my purchase.
(get ready kids, a curve ball is a-comin'!)
I popped it into the cd tray and hit "play" while toiling away at my desk, finishing up the work day. I gotta say it took me forever to get through a single listen of the album. I just couldn't sit straight through it.

Alrighty Folks, I'm BoxCar Willy and today I've got a very good deal for you, that deal is the new Baroness Album… That's right the Blue Record! Stayed tuned folks, because you're about to find out about this deal of the century!
Okay, we're back folks, now I'm going to tell you about this mind-blowing deal. First of you get a little atmosphere, but that little bit goes a long way, creating a nice full bodied ambiance. Upon further digging, you will find amazing distorted riffs, and I mean "Turn it up to 11" distortion! A song like "The Sweetest Curse" will have you headbanging in no time!

Listened to the whole thing. Not really my style of music but I thought it was ok.

I was slightly disappointed by this album, very far from the Red Album.

I took a chance on this album, not being sure what to expect having never listened to sludge metal or anything of the sort, and it''s actually become one of my favorite releases of the year.

I had not heard Baroness before picking it up (had heard a lot OF them, and am a fan of some sludge bands) and it met/exceeded my expectations.
i've listened to it several dozen more times since the review and am still quite fond of it.
it's on my short list... top 4 or 5 best albums of 2009.

I picked this album up on a whim a couple days after its release and I can't remember how many times I kept playing it. It quickly became one of my top albums of 2009.

This has to be one of the best album covers of 2009, beautiful painting, that's something else that all the CGI shit we're being tsunami'd with nowadays... John Baizley is the one who does their covers, right?

First album I listened to by the band, and I have to say, it's a very convincing one. The general atmosphere here is one to be embraced in 'The Great Outdoors' (That would be the Southern Rock influences), but more to the point is the musicianship of 'The sweetest Curse', 'Jake Leg' and even 'A Horse called Golgotha'. They make this album as exciting as it is

Doesn't touch Red, but still great and worth a hearty listen.
