Ep39 Baroness pt2! Blue, Yellow, and Green

“My breakthrough was understanding that each album is very different, down to their essence. And that there were no two that I was going to enjoy in the same way” 

 

More digging into Baroness. We talk about my trouble getting into Blue and we gush about how Yellow/Green is maybe the best album ever made.

1:26:55 Less into the mixing/production,  food lyrics, vocal harmonies, “progressive” music that prioritizes emotion
