@@Jept the Jon Congleton records were already something in that regard (I love his work but a lot of it is ear-fatiguing), but their last record with David Fridmann is a huge case of "this would be an incredibly unique and interesting mix if this wasn't mastered like crap". No good record should hurt the ears at low volumes.

Cause people have shorter and shorter attention spans and bands with real musical content dont make it as they used to. Most people cant hear a full song of this type without feeling bored. Its the sad truth. Thats why todays mainstream music is the trash we all know.. sad

The audio quality of this recording and true presence of your live performance is incredible. Great to see acoustics in the mix. Truly well done.

I have to say, with all they (John) has been through - this is the band he was always looking for. All props to the past folks, this version of the band is going places - while keeping artistic integrity.

I like their trajectory these days. Their music has grown so mature. Which is great Side note: still loving the dual guitar harmonic interludes. Hearkens back to thin Lizzy.

Baroness is a real band. In my head I always tell myself- baroness is like your friends band- if your friends band was actually good.

I can't lie. I really did not want to accept Gina. I had always loved Pete's place in the band and his sound. Seeing him go kind of hurt so naturally I wanted to reject his replacement. She has proven to be more than just a replacement though and has carved her own space in the bands sound. Much love, Gina. And Pete!

I found it so funny when they showed video of you guys taking down guitars & just as your about to see how it feels you look at the dreaded price tag 🏷 lol 😂 you know you haven’t quite made it big yet when your still looking at the price tags & i’m still there & most likely will be there until the day i die lol.

Baizley’s vibrato just gets richer through the years as evidenced by this performance. But no one is out-shadowed and everyone plays a critical part of the whole sound, expertly. Please come back to Pain in the Grass in Washington Baroness!

The sound is better here than on the album.
