    Baroness have created one of the finest hard rock albums of the decade. Now, one note: this isn't a "metal" album. It's certainly not another Blue Record (recommended listening from Baroness before you pick this one up), although it does retain some of the left-field aesthetic of that album. If you're coming in expecting pummeling double kick and vocal-shredding howls, this isn't for you. With that in mind, Gold and Grey stands head and shoulders above most of today's hard rock. The band displays a fine craftsmanship in their songwriting and performance. From the sheer passion of "Seasons" to the syncopated transition from "Tourniquet" to "Anchor's Lament," this is a highly rewarding listen. One step further, however, lies in the production. While many listeners immediately found reproach in the heavily distorted, crunchy sound of the album, I found it to be a daring artistic statement. Baroness don't conform to the norm; nothing here is clean or perfect, but Baroness also don't sacrifice dynamic range for the intensity of the production. Several very well done instrumental interludes throughout (namely, "Blankets of Ash") ensure that the entire album isn't jacked up to eleven. Also, while the distortion does obscure the drums and other components quite a bit, it brings the vocals to the forefront. It grants Gold and Grey a highly melodic quality which so much hard rock and metal music lacks. That’s why it’s such a point of contention between the average listeners and those seeking a more daring display of artistry. The production can be distracting at first, but in my book and after giving the album several listeners it's a definite pro. Gold and Grey isn’t revolutionary. It probably won’t change the face of rock music. But it still stands as one of the finest displays of creativity from that genre in recent years, and as such deserves to be heard by anyone who follows hard rock. This is fine art. Challenge yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

    The production on this is flat out awful. Purple sufferd a bit from the same problem. It sounds like everything is peaking out and most of the sound has a layer of fuzz on it. I had written an early review so here's my thoughts after multiple listenings: This contains some very cool writing and ideas. I think it's more like Yellow & Green than any other album in thier past. It contains some really great guitar playing and Gina Gleason fits in as a fine addition to the band. I would highly reccomend getting it if you are a Baroness fan, just be ready to be disappointed by the production. Ths sad thing is, that the better the sound system you play it on, the worse it sounds.
  • Still worth a listen

    My least favorite out of all their albums but still awesome nonetheless. Production is a little weak but I don’t think it takes away the enjoyment of listening to baroness

    I LOVED both Blue and Purple. But this is lifeless. It doesn't go anywhere or do anything cutting edge or exciting. Guess the old guitarist had more to do with the sound than we thought

    Songs sound great, but... If this was a deliberate decision to "artist low-fi", and we all think is was, they did a terrible job. Instead of sounding like it was recorded on a 1/4" reel, tube consol with vintage preamps, it sounds like writing with a pen thats running out of ink. I get the limmit on pollish, but this just creates fatigue and frustration. dynamics are lost in a buzzy honky over limmited threshold. Bummer

    It's more than just fine, it's fantastic. Good instrument separation. Good ambience. A bit on the high end maybe, but very clean. There is some purposeful distortion on the drums at some points, but if you don't get that then I guess you don't get what musicians are after, which is not always going to be clean. This album is brilliant, their best work yet. An amazing triumph. Don't listen to the naysayers.
