There aren't many albums by many bands that you can look back on and think unequivocally that they have made you see music in a new light. That made you feel naive, like you've really discovered something that previously you couldn't comprehend might exist. I can think of maybe two albums like that. 65DOS are one of those bands and The Fall of Math is one of those albums, it will make your life a better place. The energy, the power, the emotion, the awesome song writing, the creativity, the artistry, honestly im getting goose bumps trying to write this stuff down. 65 days are a collision of post-rock with drum and bass schizophrenia, with a whole heap of euphoria thrown in on top just to properly overload you. These guys are geniuses. I challenge you to listen to retreat retreat! or Aren't we all running? without feeling the urge to spread your arms wide, throw your head back and laugh manically at the sky because its the only thing you can think of doing to cope with the euphoria of it all. Whether you like fiercely energetic guitars, skittering drums, banging drum n bass beats or beautiful swathes upon swathes of keyboards you will be moved to new levels by this band. If you're worried about the instrumental nature of it all, don't be, once you've heard this you'll realise that music really shouldn't have vocals.
Buy this album, rejoice, weep. It might actually be the best thing in the world.

It's only natural to compare new bands to older bands if you're unsure of how to pigeonhole them. If you like that kind of thing then read some of the other comments here, they won't steer you wrong. However, without succumbing to comparison and cliche I'll attempt to explain what 65 Days of Static.
65 Days of Static is the post rock band you always wanted to play guitar (or any other instrument for that matter) in. They have such a fresh and wildly different sound that every song and every show is different and exciting. Fusing elements of melodic post rock with splinters of computer-breaking-down blips and glitches, all laid over impenetrable drum n bass loops, this band have taken every influence and thrown it out the window. Kerrang have latched on to them as the "nu-metal" hope for 2005; The Wire sees them as the best UK post rock act; Drowned In Sound touts them as electronic geniuses.
65 Days of Static are all of these things and none of these things. If you like metal then they're a fresh sounding metal band. If you like post rock then they're an inventive post rock band. If you like electronic then they're a daring electronic band.
You just have to listen to it to believe it. It sounds corny but just take a risk and buy this album.

Aphex Twin and Mogwai meet down an alley in Sheffield. There's a scuffle, someone gets glassed. This is the result...

Genius
This album, and pretty much everything by 65daysofstatic, is quite simply brilliant.

The Fall of Math is Intense
This album is a glitchy instrumental masterpiece. It's got so many explosive moments on it, you will be reeling by the end of it. Read more

I rarely bother...
...writing reviews, but I have to say that this is without doubt one of those defining pieces of plastic, that has made me re-examine what I'm currently listening to. Read more

2 + 2 = 6 - 2 = Magic
I think someone earlier mentioned that this album sounds like Mogwai on steriods. I'll have that.
I'd recommend that you buy this album for "Retreat Retreat" alone.

Joy is a Glitch track
65 days of static manage to mould glitch beats, soaring guitars played at silly speeds, and a drummer who just oozes style into a big mess of pure aural beauty. Read more
