The sons of the blazing sun and brothers of the orient are a musical force which have received due attention as few bands have a sound as defined, identifiable or unique as Orphaned Land. The folk instrumentation and vocal arrangements incorporated into their music carry a strong cultural resonance that reaches the ears of many listeners from all corners of the globe and from all walks of life. An equally remarkable and noble aspect to their sound has been and remains to be the conviction they show toward spreading a message. Their studio efforts have become increasingly inspired by their undying desire to state the necessity to progress beyond the violence and hostility that afflicts us in this war torn world.

I like "All Is One" much more than their previous album. While on "The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR" it seemed to me that they tried to sound very progressive (might be the influence of Steven Wilson), on this record the music appears to be a bit simpler and, in my opinion, more honest, straight-from-the-heart. That's why I enjoy it.

I would have loved to see more proggy stuff. But the melodic stuff on this album is fantastic. The opening tracks blows me away. A very solid 8.

More symphony, less prog.
Good album, maybe for a larger audience target, I preferred the previous two!
