Symphony for a Misanthrope


Symphony for a Misanthrope is the sixth studio album by the progressive metal/rock band Magellan. The track "Pianissimo Intermission" is based upon Johann Sebastian Bach`s "Goldberg Variation#1".
The album received a score of 4 out of 6 from Norway's Scream. The reviewer called the two preceding releases disappointing and "bickering", and Symphony for a Misanthrope was more of the same. "A mighty intro and a couple of groovy songs with great melodies makes for a more than good start, but then the bickering unfortunately comes creeping again". Ultimately, the music did not defend the record's longevity.
