Damn, let me tell you that it wasn't easy to write the review of the last album of Beyond Twilight but if you had the luck to read some few stuff about the concept of the album, you already know that only someone disturbed like Finn Zierler was able to release something like that and on a side if the concept is just genius, the album is also a bit messy, but anyway no doubt that a great musical quality synonym of a great compositor is present on the new release of the Danish combo, "For The Love Of Art And The Making".

But let's talk about the concept of this release first. "For The Love Of Art And The Making" is a puzzle, I mean that it is composed of forty-three little songs with an average of 40 sec (the length can be of 20 seconds like 2 minutes) and the genius idea of Finn Zierler was to write songs which can work (theoretically) in every possible order. Well if it can be right on a side let's be honest to, sometime it's just an incredible mess and it's not so easy to understand anything but, evidently there are some good orders and in that case it's a little bit different. The only problem is that you'll have to find those good orders and with forty-three tracks? let me wish you good luck?

This concept is really original and "For The Love Of Art And The Making" is probably one of the first interactive pieces of music ever released but this "original" album evidently works because? it is simply and above all great music. And as always Beyond Twilight plays a really great and emotional Progressive music with this time some compositions that are a lot more symphonic, operatic and epic. All the songs even the really short ones have something special in their compositions and the performance (it wasn't easy to play something like that evidently) of the musician is near of the perfection.

The production is really great the sound and layout are perfect and the new singer Björn Jansson is also a really great replacement to the last vocalist Kelly Sundown Carpenter. Really except the fact that "For The Love Of Art And The Making" can become a real mess, this album is one of the most original releases of the ten last years.

Will you like it or not? This is the great question and I decided to forget the rating for this review because it's simply impossible to rate something which can be good or not depending of the way that you'll listen to it. Also I already know that if some people will pretend that it simply genius, some others will, on the other hand, say that it is just some intellectual masturbation. But at least this is original as hell, fresh and with a lot of good ideas and all the different songs are well written so in anyway we can say that it's a bad album and we can just misunderstand it in my opinion... "For The Love Of Art And The Making is just different music and it's not so easy of access but without any doubt, this album will become one of the most important releases of the Progressive Metal scene?
