Acoustic Verses

Acoustic Verses is the fifth full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation.

[1] The album features three songs included on their 2005 EP The Burden Is Mine... Alone: "Sweet Leaf", "The Burden Is Mine... Alone", as well as the cover of Jon English's 1978 international hit "Six Ribbons" (only in the special edition).

Acoustic Verses was a change with respect to the previous works of the group, in which practically all their members participated in its composition.

Blabbermouth.net rated it with an eight and described it as "it's as lush, orchestrated, and enigmatic as any 'electric' album from this quizzical band".

said "similar to Opeth’s Damnation in some respects, Acoustic Verses covers more ground, perhaps in part because of the number of songwriters involved, but the album’s stylistic experimentation is very much in line with the Green Carnation’s proven pattern".
