Don't play this in an elevator; don't play this while you make dinner; don't play this on a Sunday afternoon while you read; don't play this while you watch tv; don't play this while you put away the clothes; don't play this in your car; don't play this while you're getting ready for work in the morning or going to bed at night; don't play this while you're having a conversation with a friend on the phone whom you haven't seen in three years. Play this when you are ready to stop and listen. Don't even think. If you are able to listen and lose thought, you'll enjoy this music.

It makes me happy that I can hear what Phillip Glass heared when he composed the music, there are feelings of mystery and nostalgy.

i first heard the Metamorphosis's on Battlestar Galactica and was instantly blown away. This CD is well worth the money! The music is incredibly powerful, moving, and just beautiful!
Uninspiring rantings from a hackOctober 8, 2007 Stephen Schreibt 4 out of 32 found this review helpful
More obtuse babbling from one of 20th centuries most pretentious compositional hacks. This is not an album for someone who enjoys interesting music - mainly because there isn't anything of interest here outside of the painfully predictable jargon that Glass has become famous for. Of course, this is not to say that Glass hasn't written anything tolerable, or even good - The Hours is a fine soundtrack if bought at a garage sale bargain price, copied, and resold to whatever poor sap would fork-over more than .99 cents to pay for it. If curiosity has the better of you, download it from a torrent. After the infection migrates from your HDD to your ears, you can turn off the offending drivel and delete it from your HDD, freeing up space for more deserving things in the process, like spam mail.

Metamorphosis One - Five is repetative to say the least; however, there are slight variations in each successive piece. As one listens it is intriguing to notice the sometimes subtle variations on a theme that occur. Each piece is more complex than the next. Well worth the listening. If you are a pianist, I recommend Solo Piano for use as warm up exercises for more complex pieces to be played afterward.
