The female, in this case, Floor Jansen, just happens to be the best female vocalist in this style as well, possibly the best in the metal world today.
Floor Jansen, however, became even more popular during this time and continued to establish herself as the best female singer in the world and the band saw themselves gaining strength and popularity with each passing day.
This is without a doubt Floor Jansen at her best, After Forever at their best, and this disc shows why they have been at the top of the heap in this genre, and will continue to be with performances like this one.

 RockReport.be :: Album Reviews
Jansen left after the release of the band’s impressive second album “Decipher” to form Epica, with whom he released the equally impressive “The Phantom Agony” last year.
Fans shouldn’t be afraid however: Floor Jansen’s soprano voice, Sander Gommans’ grunts, the ever present bombast and a couple of Eastern influences are still there; gone are Mark Jansen’s high-pitched screams and the slight fl metal influence with them so that the whole sounds a tad less aggressive.
A complex story of child neglect, loneliness and abandonment.With the amazing voice of Floor Jansen telling the tale of a couple obssesed with their jobs and their own ego's that when the wife becomes accidentally pregnant they don't see it as a blessing but as a burden.

 CD review - After Forever, Prison of desire
Floor Jansen (soprano), Mark Jansen (guitars and laments), Sander Gommans (guitars and grunts), Jack Driessen (synthesizers), Luuk Van Gerven (bass) and Joep Beckers (drums) are the authors of this work.
The voice of Floor overcomes in power (it is not difficult) to that of Anne Nurmi and that of Liv Kristine, being more comparable to that of Sandra Schleret (Dreams of Sanity), but with more versatility and registrations.
Floor shows that she does whatever she wants with her voice, mainly in the ending section, when she shines in a specially remarkable way.

 DPRP Reviews - 2004 - 33   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
On this CD it is evident that the voice of Floor is even more “dominant” than on the previous albums, but it is also clear that the music has changed from gothic metal to darker, heavier, powerful metal.
During the more tranquil passages the voice of Floor Jansen, generally playing the role of the child, sings of her plight as a child who is but an annoying presence that her career-obsessed parents prefer to ignore.
Vocally Floor Jansen seems to go from strength to strength and her performance here is powerful, dramatic and very impressive overall, not matter how she chooses to sing.

 Epica The Phantom Agony Review and Interview at Musical Discoveries
Jansen's occasional grunt reminds listeners despite the orchestral and choir passages that this is after all a metal album.
Mark Jansen's occasional grunt atop the identical arrangement contrasts significantly--that the two vocalists duel between beauty and the beast makes for interesting listening to those new to the genre and brings back memoirs of early After Forever to longtime fans.
But it is the symphonic texture of the choir and orchestra and vast dynamic excursions that contribute to the overall magnitude of the epic.

 Interview Remagine
Like it has been mentioned earlier, Floor wrote the lyrics shocked by the events of 1 september 2004 frim Beslan, where many school children were taken hostage, and finally, killed by terrorists.
Floor's vocals in this part are definitely one of the vocal highlights of "Remagine." A lot of emotion, lots of delicacy.
Floor has difficulty with keeping her eyes dry when she hears this song.

 After Forever at Musical Discoveries
With a bright future ahead of her, Floor Jansen is a marvelous vocalist that perfectly compliments the symphonic and metal-edged instrumental and songwriting styles of the other band members.
Sharp contrasts between Floor's vocals and the harder edged grunts are evident throughout the album; similar contrasts between the album's softest ballad-style tracks and metal-edged rockers exist.
Floor Jansen's singing has never before been so strong and diversified, the combinations with choir and classical orchestra are at exactly at the right places and the use of melodious elements and supplementary samples in the sound make this album into one that simply nobody will be able to get round.

Floor Jansen has increased her vocal ability somehow -- she was adorned on Prison Of Desire" for her ability to sing in a variety of styles, including opera to semi-pop style to all out aggression.
This gives Floor even more chance to show off her style and ability.
The ballad between Floor Jansen and guest vocalist Rein Kolpa on "Imperfect Tenses" remind me of Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman performing some musical track from a huge modern play.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - AFTER FOREVER - Invisible Circles
I’ve heard a few songs from the last album, the symphonic atmosphere and emotional voice of Floor Jansen took me by surprise, which eventually made me beg for more and more and now it has come.
Floor and co. decorate the Gothic Metal sound in a more conceptual style rather than having a song-oriented sketch relying on simple arrangements and a big chorus line.
The characters are presented through Floor, Bas and Sander’s voices and they do one heck of a job in conveying their emotions.

 Review: "After Forever: Exordium" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Singer Floor Jansen is aiming to make fans of the Finnish band Nightwish and Within Temptation her own with her dynamic style and vocal prowess.
The group has grown musically from their last work with departed guitarist Mark Jansen (who is not related to Floor in case you wondered) and began the groundwork on this CD which best serves as an introduction to the coming album Invisible Circles.
Floor is a classically trained Soprano and she belts out the notes on the CD with apparent ease.

 After Forever biography @ Tartareandesire.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
That name is traded in for the more intriguing After Forever and very soon afterwards the and starts to develop themselves: the style expands, in 1997 Floor Jansen joins the band and an individual front is more and more burgeoning.
The flawless soprano of the classically trained Floor Jansen plays an important role, and is counter-balanced by the grunts and screams of guitarists Sander Gommans and Mark Jansen.
In February Floor Jansen is recording a duet with Johan Edlund of Tiamat, which will find its way on one of the two new albums of AYREON: Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer.

 After Forever: album reviews and ratings
Line-up: Floor Jansen (soprano), Mark Jansen (guitars: 2000-2003), Sander Gommans (guitars, male grunts), Joost van den Broek (keyboards), Luuk van Gerven (bass), Andre Borgman (drums), Bas Maas (guitars).
Because while only two of the songs on this six track mini-album bear the After Forever trademark established so succesfully on the preceding two full length albums 'Prison of Desire' and 'Decipher', the other four are more the odd ones out (or odd four out, if you want) than that they establish a pattern.
The transition started with the departure of original musical driving force Mark Jansen after the release of ‘Decipher’ (considered by some to be one of the pinnacles of the gothic symphonic genre) and is extremely evident in this new release, which bares little resemblance to their first two albums.

 ::.. Metal Monk UK ..:: - AFTER FOREVER
First formed in the mid-90s in Holland by guitarists Mark Jansen and Sander Gommans, the vocal talents of Floor Jansen (not related to Mark) were shortly enlisted.
The shared lyric writing duties of Floor and Mark allow their song meanings to be diverse, with some lyrical themes focussed around the Islamic religion, even quoting the Quo'ran at points and some from a more personal, emotional perspective.
Now gone are any politics; Floor’s emotional lyrics are usually able to avoid clichés, probably with the help of Gommans whose day job as a teacher gives him a different outlook on psychology.

 Metal Invader ( After Forever - Decipher ) Review.
Being a very inspired crossing between metal and atmospearic goth young dutch hopefulls AFTER FOREVER will bring delight to all the fans they might have captured with their debut as well as conquer many new fans.
Floor Jansen's voice is as powerful and charesmatic as ever and tracks like "My Pledge For Allegiance Pt 1, and Intrinsic are simpy magnifiscent.
The album as a whole is a well thought atempt balancing between operatic baroq-esque splendour and tight metal instrumentalisms with grunts disturbing the celestial vocal performance of Floor's.

Clearly patterned on Jansen's former band, Epica fuses his deathly croaking with the angelic tones of a classically trained mezzo-soprano named Simone Simons, over a lush foundation of symphonic power metal.
Whether this is the case by nature or design, one feels her talents are being underutilized; but then, perhaps Jansen didn't want her monopolizing the proceedings like the aforementioned Floor (although they apparently have no problem objectifying her sensual image on the album's cover).
