METAMORPHEUS

Hackett has become as mellow as his former bandmate Tony Banks has become in the recent years. And they both released two classical albums-- Banks using the full orchestra and Hackett partially using orchestra. Now this is not a true prog rock. The theme 'Metamorpheus' invoked an expectation of dramatic musical scores. I was disappointed. On the other hand, this is a good album (if I ignore my initial disappointment). I also believe Hackett has remained loyal to himself when he chose to be completely mellow and classical. I appreciate sincere music and this is one.
