4.5 superbbananatossing | June 22nd 19

There isn't a single dull moment here. These are criminally underrated EP's, and having both compiled as a full LP is the best way to make them justice, along with the remaster itself.

This is definitely not the Baroness that made Purple. Hell, it's barely the Baroness that made The Red Album. The first impression one had of this compilation of their first two EP's was that they sounded like a psychedelic, lead-heavy Fall Of Efrafa from the Owsla days, with just as much punk infused into the music as metal. Even the vocalists sound similar. Thus, Baroness showcases their forward-thinking songwriting whilst firing away with bursts of strong emotion and energy, and it really doesn't sound quite like anything else in their discography. It's Baroness still in the process of evolution; definitely not an amoeba, but not quite a full-fledged macroorganism. As such, it's the rawest the band has ever sounded, both from a songwriting standpoint and a production one. That also makes it charming as hell, and definitely a great listen for any fans of energetic, psychedelic post-metal.
