I’ve never listened to Baroness, but just looking at the album titles and covers, I like the chromatic idea of having each album be a different color. Should I listen in order of release date? Also, I read some opinions that the later albums have atrocious mixing. Is this true? Does it really take away from the music?

    I started with Purple. Overall, that album is the least consistent but contains some of their best songs, I would recommend starting there. After that, I listened to Yellow and Green which is my favorite. The Grey and Gold came out, so I listened to that one next. I think the mixing is actually fine on that one; it fits the overall sound well. Red and Blue are more “sludgy” than the others, so more of an apples to oranges but are still solid records.
