5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, January 22, 2008

After Shawn Lane's death, things became a little bit cumbersome for Jonas. This is a clear departure from the sound that they jointly created, a very nice way to say goodbye to good old Shawn. As the title very well states, this is ART Metal in full extension. The group format includes Selvaganesh, but as humble as his instrument can be, sometimes he leads the group to very intrincated rithms in which Mathias and Hellborg manage to elaborate incredible solos... The easiness of the playing is remarkable, so is the very tight interplay between all. Jonas has definitely matured beyond belief and bring us an outstanding, never ending surprising record that is as artsy as it gets: this is metal, but with EXTREMELY good taste.

If not One of... The best CD I have purchased this year. One probably needs an open mind when going into this. A friend of mine stated that it is too, "out there" for him. Not the case for myself.

Each musician puts forth some amazing listening. Yet it is also a matter of the sum is greater than the parts independently. In other words some mind blowing jamming. The Johansson brothers (Anders on drums and Jens on keys) deserve as much recognition as possible. Mattias IA Eklundh also gives us great work on the guitar. Selvaganesh plays the kanjeera. I believe this is the additional percussion. While this is not jaw dropping, it is a key element of the feel of the music. He whom the CD is being sold for, Jonas Hellborg, is simply amazing (on bass).

Other projects of Jonas Hellborg's have too much of an improvised feel for me. Again... Not the case (with this). Well structured.

Highly recommended!

This has quickly become one of my all-time favorite albums. I hope this lineup continues to release music like this. I can't for the life of me pry this album away from my CD player.
