  1. 9.0 |   BBC

    It’s brilliantly realised – the kind of album that will set Baroness apart from their peers in years to come

  2. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    Like all great rock bands that have gone before them—allow Baroness the opportunity to change your life. They just might succeed in doing so

  3. 9.0 |   Spin

    On its own, the 40-minute Yellow is the second-best metal record to come from Georgia's drop-tuned, swamp-bathed, crust-caked community
    Read Review

  4. 8.5 |   Pitchfork

    These songs stick together well without a framework. Tracks play off each other, make echoes, and then go on

  5. 8.0 |   Blurt

    Documents the evolution of Baroness from great metal band to great band

  6. 8.0 |   Q

    It's their best album yet. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Brawny, anthemic hard-rock chug remains their backbone. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    One of the year’s most engaging metal albums
    Read Review

  9. 7.2 |   Paste Magazine

    Yellow & Green casts off the shackles of expectation while simultaneously taking a measured step in the direction of accessibility

  10. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    There are very few double albums in rock and metal that can be considered truly great. For every White Album or The Wall, there are a plethora of lesser albums wrought with continuity issues. Unfortunately, we find Yellow & Green fitting in with the plethora rather than the celebrated few

  11. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A thrilling hard-rock epic
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    To the wider rock world, Yellow/Green deserves to be regarded as a left of field classic, whilst to the metalheads who were perfectly content with the Baroness sound as it was, the record may seem something of a disappointment
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Yellow is the harder-rocking half, Green is its experimental, moodier sister. Overall a gentler record than its predecessors
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   All Music

    Undertakes such a massive creative leap that only time will tell whether it goes down as a triumph or a blunder
    Read Review

  15. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    There’s an abundance of good ideas here, all of them fearlessly pursued. Next time, the band just needs to hire an editor
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   NME

    Totalling 75 minutes and spread, slightly unnecessarily, over two CDs, it reaches unexpected new heights in the pantheon of ‘metal bands who mellowed out'
    Read Review

  17. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    The flow is interrupted by tracks veering alarmingly close to whiney indie guitar pop
