Acoustic Verses is easily their second best.

^ I love those two songs ... I really like the melancholy, great melodies. But of course that's entirely subjective.Smile

My resumee:

- Journey: 3 stars (experimentation/orchestral)

- Blessing: 4.5 stars (emotions/melodies)
- Offspring: 3.5 stars (emotions/melodies)
- Verses: ?Wink
 
I'd agree with the Offspring rating Mike, but personally I think your Blessing rating is a little generous.. I can't help feeling that it sags a bit in the middle, and not just in tempo... Two Seconds In Life and Myron & Cole don't add much to the album for me...

LODDOD is nice but definetly no the best IMO.Not kind of music that can be listen over and over again frequently

I enjoy In the Woods... much more than Green Carnation - they shared a bunch of members and can be considered to be the same band. I'd recommend starting with Omnio and Strange in Stereo.

Did you like LODDOD? Cause, although I must say I like it...its not what I thought it would be, which mostly is good, but here I had high expectations, I mean, an hour lond song?!?! That must be the best thing ever...but no, not even close. And whats even worst, is that when Im listening to it there are parts which I feel could have been done so much better, there could have been more strings, more vocals, more everything, and maybe less guitar, cause after a while it seems like he is always playing the same riff...and whats worst, are the lyrics. I think Tchort tried to talk about everything and instead he ends up talking about absolutly nothing, what a pitty, such a piece of music demands good lyrics...
So I would say it´s maybe a 3 stars effort...but such a piece of music should, at least in my eyes, be at least a 4 star song...but its clearly not...for me, after all this is only a point of view

GC are a difficult band to pin down... intentionally, I think!
 
I agree with Mike's summation, although I like both Blessing and The Quiet Offspring equally... 3.5/5 each IMHO...

A Blessing in Disguise is my favorite - but I haven't heard Acoustic Verses yet. If you like the epic structure of LODDOD you might also want to check out the previous album - it's their most experimental release. The newer ones have more "normal" song structures (starting with A Blessing In Disguise).
