It's a wintry afternoon, the clouds start covering the horizon and melancholy is pouring from the darkening sky. I decide to listen to something soft, fragile and at the same time utterly emotional and, believe me, Green Carnation's new attempt, "The Acoustic Verses", is the ideal soundtrack to a serene and esoteric journey adorned with beauty and melancholy.

Some songs are so relaxing that makes me want to rest in my bed for more than 24 hours. I love it.

Well, i liked 3 songs "Alone, Child's Play Part III & Six Ribbons (which had been released before)", But the rest of the songs are so damn boring and not impressive. So generally the album is not good although it contained 3 good songs.

Also, this band, and this album kick serious ass.

This band is dreadful...

Not all bands can be as brilliant as AC/DC I guess.

I've heard a lot of acoustic/mellow versions of heavier songs - it's been a trendy thing in American rock for a long time now. Most of the time it seems like just a money grab/trying to pick up a little more airplay and exposure outside of the normal channels. It's nice to hear a metal band do an album like this by writing actual good songs. I do wish it was a little longer - or, you know, that Green Carnation was still making music.

I love this. Alone, Child's Play and my favourite 9-29-045 are brilliant. I don't like High Tide Waves very much though.

Man I wish the new album was like this.

9-29-045 is still beautiful.
