After struggling to get the acutal CD of First and Second (see my review), it was only fitting to get my grubby paws on this much easier (and less expensive!) album to fill the final gap in my Baroness collection. And I was not disappointed. Though Baroness' half on Grey Husk is only two songs, the length of them is equal to the three on either one of the first two EPs. And, in my opinion, is the better half.
This is an obvious link in the evolution between Second and The Red Album. We have the more agressive vocals of the previous platters but with some of the more subtle arrangements of the last two full-length works. Also, much cleaner production, so the guitars in particular vividly come through in all their crunchy, distorted glory, as never before. "Teresias" is, in some ways, the heaviest thing they ever did. But "Cavite'" is, for me, the favored track-- a true heavy rock epic with more substance crammed into 10-plus minutes than anything out of the 70s prog-rock era. I can never get bored of listening to this.
The Unpersons half was not as impressive to me. I like the music, but I can't get used to the slurred, "goo-goo, gah-gah" vocals, the likes of which are the bane of the Meat Puppet's first two albums, In a Car and Meat Puppets. It makes it hard for me to take the excellent music seriously, so I don't plan on re-visiting that part of Grey Sigh very often-- but who knows? I have an open mind.
But Baroness' part makes the price of the CD very worth while. If you are a fan of their music and haven't bought this yet, I strongly recommend you do.
