Baroness  Blue Record is an instant classic, with all the peaks and valleys, textures, and nuances that timeless records yield over repeated listens.  Deep and dark; Blue Record overflows with gossamer melodies and striking, earnest riffs that have become the band’s signature.  Blue Record is the most poignant moment in the BARONESS canon to date.

Baroness’ rock is both intricate and blunt, and like most music that’s intricate and blunt, is easiest to classify as metal. Sure enough, they’re neck deep in the scene, recording for a premier label and doing artwork for Guitar World. Staring at frontman John Baizley’s Art Nouveau jacket art, you can glimpse what sets them apart, though. Like their album titles (this one follows up Red Album), there is a conspicuous absence of heavy metal’s favorite color and mood. Baroness don’t have much about them that’s black. - Dusted Magazine
