Скачать или смотреть The Burden is Mine… Alone (Lyrics) Green Carnation

"The Burden Is Mine... Alone" from the EP 'The Burden Is Mine... Alone' by Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation, released in October 2005 by Profound Lore Records.

The EP would be an indicator of the stylistic shift the band planned for their next album, The Acoustic Verses. The EP and following album are very different from the usual dark mood that the band's older releases have.

This all-out acoustic release has a lighter tone and is a larger stylistic shift for the band. The EP also contains two tracks that were not included in the 2006 album, The Acoustic Verses.

Acoustic Verses is the fifth full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation. It was released on January 30, 2006, via Sublife Productions.

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).

The album was met with positive reviews Blabbermouth.net rated it with an 8 and describes it as "it's as lush, orchestrated, and enigmatic as any 'electric' album from this quizzical band".

Laura Taylor of Exclaim! 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".

Acoustic Verses was yet another stylistic shift for Green Carnation. On the album, as the name suggests, the band played all acoustic instruments, showing off a softer, warmer style for the band while retaining the progressive and darker feels they established since their debut.

Thus, Acoustic Verses represents an important and only change with respect to the previous works of the group, in which practically all their members participated in its composition.
