Goddamn this is a good album. Combined with The Fall Of Math, 65 made their two greatest albums back to back, making them almost feel like sister albums.

This is fucking mental. I have been blown away. I have said before that i really don't like instrumental/albums without vocals, but there are 2 now that have just sat in the right place for me - 'Bones in the Soil, Rust in the Oil' by Pretend, and this. This is absolutely incredible. The layering of all the instruments, the climaxes, the crescendos, the waves of emotions each song takes you down are so different yet so familiar, and the way they do it is stunning.

One Time for All Time lives up to its name; the genre-bending is insane and very well executed throughout all 37 minutes.
