Ordered this from a local store when I first heard about it . After hearing that first song and then reading all this I am not quite as excited to hear it. I actually liked Blue a lot. Like everything they have done. The album came in last week and I still haven't gone to pick it up.
I'll prob'ly just wait until the new Om arrives and get it then.

Picked up the standard edition of the vinyl. After one spin of each disc, I was diggin' it the whole way through. I definitely helps to leave a gap of time between the records, like it's two different albums in the same package rather than to play them back to back (as when I heard it streaming). It has the feel of a "grower", one of those albums that reveals it's charms slowly over a few listens.

I'm annoyed that there was no download included, 'cause I don't have the time right now to rip the discs myself.

That said I picked it up the same time I picked up the new Swans live double disc and I foresee Yellow & Green having trouble getting much playing time with that around.

Picked it up today (at Best Buy for $9.99, what!). I dig Yellow a lot. They've certainly mellowed but I'm into the melodies and hhwhat not. Haven't really dug into Green yet. But it seems like I won't be into it as much though. Trying a bit to hard to not be Yellow but stay on the same path.

I don't mind it. I can see what they are trying to do at times (vocal driven classic rock) but I think that the vocals at times really struggle to pull it off. Some of the ideas are quite nice, and when everything comes together it is quite stunning at points, but a lot of the songs are very samey (mid-paced ballads that 'kick in' two thirds of the way through). Also the bass sound is pretty poor all the way through. Generally given the songs have a mainstream structure, I actually think going for a more mainstream, cleaner production would have helped them a bit.

I think I may actually prefer the Green album, but honestly I really don't see much of a difference of approach or sound between the two albums.

Its an okay summer chill out album, but its overlong and far from flawless. Yet they went out and tried something different so I will commend them for that.

I don't hate it. I loved "Blue" but I don't love this. It's not "The Hunter" levels of disappointment. I like the mellower side, but I miss the heavy for sure.

I really dig this album, especially "Green". The mellow shit rules, I can't stop listening to it. Some of it, like I said earlier, reminds me of Radiohead (who I like a lot). Also, the album debuted at #30 on the Billboard charts.

I've only listened to it on Spotify so far but I really like this. I'm going to have to pick it up for sure.

Honestly confused a song off this new record for Weezer hearing it at the bar.

I picked it up, and I've only listened to the Yellow side so far. At first brush, I was thinking it was complete garbage. The last two songs on the disk sort of redeemed it for me: "Sea Lungs" being dead-on Muse and "Eula" sounding very Thrice, but both solid songs that actually stood out. There are a couple real duds... "Little Things" and "Cocainium" had me laughing out loud. I can see where they were going with that stuff...it has a dull, late 70s, Steely Dan kind of feel. Brick wall though. The other tracks had moments..."Take My Bones" seems too long and doesn't go anywhere interesting...but it's not terrible either.

I think that's my main complaint...I was in my head comparing this album to Muse here or Thrice or Brazil there, kind of new jack post prog punk pop or pop prog sort of stuff, which is fine, it could have really gone somewhere. And I hate reading an interview with these guys and bagging on their stuff, knowing it's bumming people out and they are thinking I'm just some envious prick. But listening to the arrangements and the songwriting of those other bands who have the same kind of sound Baroness seems to be going for and the same thematic grandeur, I feel almost pissed off that people would prefer this comparatively dull material to superior albums by other bands just by virtue of it being Baroness and the idea that they are "evolving".

I don't know. Every time I write what I'm really thinking, I feel like I shouldn't have fucking said anything at all. I just am looking for a bit more. Torche gave it to me. Their album sounded exciting and eclectic without being heavy for the sake of heavy. Did I want that from Baroness after all the seven page interviews? Yes. Shoot me.

It's just like, my opinion, man. And I haven't listened to the other disk yet, so who knows. Thrill me, Baroness. Thrill me.
