Few bands deserve a victory lap more than Baroness in 2013. In 2012, they gave us the excellent double-record Yellow & Green, but they also survived a horrific bus crash while on tour (which would eventually cause two players to leave the band). Live at Maida Vale was recorded just a month before that accident and captures the band playing full-tilt four gems from Yellow & Green.
Not only do these impressive performances remind us of the resilience of the great Savannah band—check the unadulterated fury of “Take My Bones Away”—but it also re-confirms the impressive breadth of sounds on their finest album to date.— PopMatters
