This is 65's unintentional second full-length. Originally slated to be just another EP to hold fans over, it grew and grew and became... One Time For All Time. If you haven't heard them yet, now's a good time to pick up an ear and take a good long listen, because 65daysofstatic are perhaps the best thing to come out of the silly "post-rock" genre since... ever. Their sound is really honed down to a fine edge on this album-- a combination of soaring guitars, furious computer beats and even more furious live drums. This time around, the beats are more frantic, the guitars more abrasive, the emotion more palatable, the music itself more than the sum of its combined parts. Something industial, something emotional, something beautiful. 65 wield their instruments like weapons, aimed at the face of everything that might stand in their way. Also check out The Destruction of Small Ideas and The Fall of Math. 4 out of 5 simply because of some dynamic problems on the glockenspiel for The Big Afraid that practically ruins the song, plus I know they're only going to get better.

65 days of static are really really really good. this album has a certain feel to it that's really hard to explain. the fact that 65 days of static could make music to capture such a feel is mind blowing. if you're into sigur ros, massive attack, orbital, mogwai, explosions in the sky, or even boards of canada. you'll probably be into this album. it's also a great album if you're just getting into this band because it's not too over the top but it still really grabs you.

What can i say about this band!!!! the music they make is undescribable! it's the first post-rock band i've heard that electronic beats (aphex twin style) are not in the backround but they equally shared with guitars (mogwai style) and drums!!! Yes, they use live drums at the same time!!! The hole album has an industrial feeling all over it! It's agressive and at the same time emotional! Once you hear "One time for all time" you will be surprised! Anyone who listens post-rock HAS to search for them! And you should check their debut "The fall of math". Less electronic parts but very interesting! this band CAN really do something great!!!!!

p.s. sorry for all my mistakes! it's the first time i review a band!

As I have tried several times to correct the listing error in the title to no avail, I am posting this to let everyone know that this is the US release of 'One Time For All Time' by 65daysofstatic. The title as listed 'You Showed Me' is incorrect. The US and European versions are identical.

Anyway, this album is THE BUSINESS. If you don't own it you are missing out on a future classic.

cheers!

Post-Rock at it's best. One of my favorite instrumental bands they have everything you would want in a post-rock release. You have the tense and exciting build ups, good guitar/bass work and the drumming is always excellent. A unique and fresh release from 65dos.
