Once again, the album was written and produced by Rob Reed, with lyrics by Steve Reed. Musically, "Home" represents a further development for the band, combining the Magenta sound established on "Revolutions", "Seven" and the two singles "Broken" and "I'm Alive". The new album was released in two separate versions, the single disc "Home" and the double disc version featuring the "New York Suite". The second disc contains four longer pieces of music which could not fit onto the single disc version. "Home" was later re-released as a double album, with the four tracks from the "New York Suite" inserted into the relevant position in the "story". "Magenta: The Singles" was released in summer 2007. The album features re-recorded versions of various singles and album tracks. Rob Reed explains, "The first reason for doing the album was to get definitive versions of the songs recorded. We’d been playing some of the songs live for 3 years and we now had Dan on bass, and he’d brought his own character to the songs as they’d developed. Also, the original versions had been recorded quite quickly and we wanted to get high quality versions of the songs down, as we’d done with "Speechless". It was great to take a bit more time with them and record them properly. Also a lot of Prog fans don’t like buying singles, they’d much rather have the album format, and at 79 minutes we certainly have an album's worth of material. We can delete the singles now." In addition, another DVD "Live At The Point" was recorded on 23 November at The Point in Cardiff. On 30 November 2007 it was announced that drummer Allan Mason-Jones had left the live version of the band. He was replaced in the live band by Keiran Bailey. On 11 December 2007 it was announced that rhythm guitarist Martin Rosser had also left the band to work with Dan Fry and Allan Mason-Jones on their new C-Sides project. Their fourth album, entitled "Metamorphosis", was released to registered fans on 23 March 2008, with an accompanying DVD featuring footage of the recording process and a full 5.1 version of the album. (The official release date for these items was 21 April.) Prior to its release, Reed said it was "unlike what Magenta fans have heard up until now." The album contains just four tracks, two of which are longer than 20 minutes.
