...Magenta album. Albums I really like. But I frankly Magenta's formula a bit............... well, overused. What do we get here Nice vocals Nice guitars Nice keys Nice mid-tempo melodies No surprises No variations The Magenta code Add some elements from the Corrs (yes, that annoying sweeter-than-honey wholesome family pop act from Ireland) and...

...Magenta review and my fifth one awarding all five stars. When and if I review Revolutions, I will probably go with four. Magenta is one of those bands that anytime I put any of their proper studio albums on, I am one happy guy. Very few bands hold the sway over me like Rob Reed and company do. And Metamorphosis stands right alongside Seven as...

...Magenta previous Home album, you should not worry with this Metamorphosis album as, I think, the band has returned to its form. I might say that this album is in a good comparison with first two albums Revolutions (2001) and Seven (2004). It took four years for the band to come back to their original creativity even though the music of...

...Magenta is more in the vein of Renaissance than any other bands in the scene. The add their other influences like Yes and Genesis into their music and you have Magenta. The comparison with Renaissance is quite obvious, both being fronted and based around female vocals. Magentas music is very symphonic at places, but also at time driven by the...

Magenta is an UK formation that doesn't sound original but their melodic 24-carat symphonic rock is presented very pleasantly and professionally. In 2001 they released a double debut CD entitled Revolutions, seven years later Magenta has made their fourth studio album Metamorphosis. Again the influences are very obvious, especially the Seventies...

...Magenta such a progressive force: the multi-instrumental genius of Robert Reed, the blistering fretwork from Chris Fry and the rather impressive vocal talents of Christina Booth, surely already among the top female progressive singers ever. When leafing through the deep red cover booklet and perusing the inner artwork, the change becomes...

...Magenta and Mostly Autumn are the bands currently carrying the torch for symphonic prog with female lead vocals. While Mostly Autumn openly admit to being strongly influenced by Pink Floyd, Magenta appear to lean more toward Genesis for their inspiration. Whether or not their music is in general terms overtly derivative, is a matter for...

...MAGENTA is another project of Rob Reed, the main man behind the neo-prog band CYAN.CYAN was rather a one man project that sounded similar to PENDRAGON,though this album doesn't sounds like CYAN at all.I could say that if you take the most symphonic prog moments of CYAN and throw in some MIKE OLDFIELD atmosphere and some RENNAISANCE art...

...Magenta released Metamorphosis which sounds darker and has a heavier mood than previous albums. 4 tracks, two over 20 minutes and two shorter ones, this release needs to be given proper listening and time to absorb it. Indeed, upon the initial 3-4 listening I wasnt sure what to make of it and could not grasp the album as a whole and required...
