Where this album fits

Career context
Released on July 17, 2012, 'Yellow & Green' is Baroness's third studio album, following the critically acclaimed 'Blue Record' from 2009. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, moving towards more melodic and accessible songwriting while still rooted in their heavy metal roots. The change came after a near-fatal bus accident that influenced both the band's lyrical themes and musical direction.
