The Quiet Offspring is the fourth album by Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation. In this recording, the band breaks away from previous offerings. Although critically acclaimed and well accepted by fans, The Quiet Offspring has a more traditional rock sound and leaves behind the atmospheric feel of Light of Day, Day of Darkness. Some observers have criticized this transition, while others claim it would have been inconceivable to repeat the feat of the 60-minute album.
