This baroness treads new ground for metal!
William Dorfer | 11/18/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"My guitar teacher and I always speak of finding music that is unique and unlike anything in the mainstream, to find music that comes from the heart and not the company chair of power. Of course, such a form of music is sometimes hard to find, but is something I discovered in Baroness. And ironically enough, this band has met a lot of success with this record!



"Red Album" is a true novelty, for metal music and for music in general. I usually describe the songs on an album track by track, but there's so much in each of these songs, such a form of description would be quite complicated. Fortunately, the album is easy enough to describe as a whole. The album is a combination of experimental progressive-rock, Mastodon-influenced sludge-metal complete with vocals influenced by Troy of Mastodon, southern guitar harmonies and just a generally experimental and melodic vibe, tinged with garage-style jams. They even go into a fully acoustic instrumental, which makes for a nice change in feel and tempo.



Overall, this is hands-down a five-star album and a modern classic. Highly recommended, this album is breaking new and unique ground in metal that I sure hope will be walked on in the near future. Also, Baroness's second album "Blue Record" is very highly recommended, too. Thanks for the time, and peace."
