After hearing Metamorphosis second album, I was eager to get to know their other releases. And I was quite surprised how powerful was Metamorphosis debut. It is a mix of symphonic and neo prog styles, with a strong Pink Floyd influence. Actually latter-day PF is their most obvious role model, with some Pendragon and early Genesis overtones, but still the music of Metamorphosis has its own face and sound. Jean-Pierre Schenk is a talented songwriter and skillful musician. His voice is quite fitting for his music too. Nothing too bombastic or heavy, just plain melodic progressive music, with some fine guitar solos. And I like it!Production is very good and Schenk has the help of some fine musicians on this project. The arrangements are tasteful and there are no real highlights, the album as a whole is very good. I wouldn´t call After All This Years a masterpiece but it is surely a fine addtion to any prog collection. Specially if you like a more laid back prog, with great melodies. Something between 3,5 to 4 stars. Very good release from this swiss band.
