Homogenized the once overt Yes-isms and perhaps diluted the fire that burns inside all prog musicians. It's as if the solidification of the band's personality had There was somehow a spark missing, all pundits seemingly agreeing that this was a "down elevator"įrom the majestically ambitious "Seven". Metamorphosis indeed! The previous "Home" and companion "NY Suite" had some fine music on it yet Posted Tuesday, | Review this album | Report (Review #172338) Problem with a derivative sound, I am sure the new album CD will please you! My rating: 3,5 stars.

You know what to expect from Magenta, if you like melodic symphonic rock and you don't have a Shifts between mellow and fiery (also featuring soaring keyboards and the sound of a steel-guitar) with aĬompelling final part delivering lush keyboards in Blind Faith (6.01). The two shorter songs are more structured: a strong build-up withīeautiful vocals and varied keyboard work and Uilleann pipes in Prekestolen (3.43) and a climate that Remarkably is the blend of the Uilleann pipes (bagpipe sound), this gives a Guitar, Floydian inspired guitarwork with Hammond organ support and great interplay between guitar and Interesting ideas than an elaborate song with head-and-tail: a wonderful part with Grand piano and vocals,īombastic keyboards with heavy guitar riffs, exciting solos on guitar and keyboards and howling guitarĪnd lush synthesizers in The Ballad Of Samuel Layne and a cascade of shifting moods with fiery wah-wah To me those long compositions sound more as a jam with lots of The new album contains four tracks, two have a running time of more than 20 minutes and the other Influences are very obvious, especially the Seventies Yes sound featuring guitar in the vein of Steve HoweĪnd bass work with strong hints from Chris Squire. Revolutions, seven years later Magenta has made their fourth studio album Metamorphosis. In 2001 they released a double debut CD entitled Presented very pleasantly and professionally. Magenta is an UK formation that doesn't sound original but their melodic 24-carat symphonic rock is Posted Tuesday, | Review this album | Report (Review #171722) Not as startling as Seven, but a very strong showcase of one of Englands best symphonic prog bands around. Metamorphosis put them back on track and reminds me a lot of their fine debut Revelations. Again we ended up missing more instrumental parts. The other down side on this album is its short time: 53 minutes for a band like this is not enough. It seems that they decided to focus too much on the lyrics and that´s the record biggest weakness. The only major problem I found on this CD is the excess of vocals: they could have let go a little more of the instrumental side and a few more solos would also be of great benefit. The music is varied and cohesive, even though there are just four tracks (two 20 minute+ epics and two short tunes). Also of note are Stephen Frys fine guitar lines and Tim Robinsons drumming. But make no mistake, Magenta has a sound of their own and it is quite unique, Thanks to Rob Reeds excellency on songwriting, which is as good as his keyboard playing, and to Christina Booths great vocal work. A little early Mike Oldfield is also felt (on Prekestolen). The music is still very much influenced by Yes (specially guitar and bass parts), while some celtic and Pink Floyd overtones are now featured through Metamorphosis as a whole. Anyway, they are truly back in form and this is by far their most rewarding released since their masterpiece Seven. I still do not know why this group is labeled here as neo prog since they have nothing neo on their sound: it is symphonic prog all over.

They are now back to their 70s symphonic prog roots in full power (well, almost). If you are a bit disappointed by Magenta latest releases, like Home or Speechless (good CDs, but a little too soft), fear no more.
