Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Buy Now ... Saved Later, the second album from One Minute Silence, sees the lads continuing in the same vein of their debut Available In All Colours, with full-on frat rock for baggy-shorted, dread-locked, tattooed beast messiahs. Think Korn, think Limp Bizkit, think angry shouting men and loud riff-o-ramas. As the finest British purveyors of this decidedly American of trends, their attempts at Americanising their sound, to the point where the lead singer seems to find it necessary to speak in a mid-Atlantic accent, are a bit unnecessary--whatever happened to being proud to be part of the great British music scene? To further their Americanisation, they bite the hand that feeds them with their American-iconography-heavy cover--their devil is made of dollar bills, the currency of the "evil empire". It's a shame, really, because they create a great sound: strong guitar riffs mixed with genuine melodic angry metal. However, this is marred by their ham-fisted attempts at political statement: "If, somehow, someday, man learns how to control and sell the air we breathe, the poor had better learn to hold their breath". Rage Against The Machine have already got this market well and truly sewn-up, the last thing anyone wants is a pretender to the throne, least of all from Tipperary. --Helen Marquis

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesus In A Bag, 18 Jun 2002
'My god its good to see ya' announces vocalist Brian 'Yap' Barry in the opening album line, rather pleasantly. But what follows certainly couldn't be described as friendly, and it isn't easy listening, the albums 14 songs rallying against capitalism, police, religion, and many more subjects that their anarchistic ideology brings them to despise. Within the opening song (Rise and Shine) it is immediately apparent that the foursome has something to say, and it a theme hammered into your head through thunderous hardcore rap-metal.

Musically, don't expect Metallica or Iron Maiden level riffing. But though the music is simple, it is very effective, and the lyrics are universally superb. It's a shame that there is no lyric sheet included [...] and that Yap's unique nervous/frantic vocals mean you can't always hear what's being said. Songs also have an unusually great depth to them; this is an album that will get extensive usage. Highlights being the explosive 1845 (guess where the mosh starts in this one) Food for the Brain and A Day in the Light of, the latter being a (comparatively) melodic number. Also included are the excellent single Fish out of Water and live favorite Holy Man, although that song starts well but descends into mindless shouting. Though luckily that's the only time it happens.

Not light years ahead of the debut album, Available in all Colours, but Buy Now... is still an improvement on something that was already very good. There are no real 'filler' tracks and the album gets the band's message across brilliantly, just as they wanted. One Minute Silence are a cut above the average modern metal band, and it is so refreshing to see a band that isn't just there for the money and an interview in Kerrang. And I'd like to see Limp Bizkit write a song with lyrics like Food for the Brain.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ONLY worthwhile metalcore band around for ages, 19 Sep 2000
By hughbrint@hotmail.com (Cork, Ireland.) - See all my reviews
People have related OMS to Korn, Rage Against The Machine, Limp Bizkit and many other bands.... while missing the point that OMS have a sound all their own... sure, they have rapping in their songs, but most people do not realise this is totally apocalyptic metalcore.... this is hardcore metal at it's hardest, corest and finest.... their debut was fast and furious, this album is a little more laid back but gets the pulse pumping and the fist rising in no minutes flat..... their message is strong and to the point..... definetely worth getting, and while you're at it, get the debut as well.... you won't regret buying both as you'll be getting more than your money's worth.....

Best tunes. 1. 1845. - Fast, furious, and headbangable. 2. Food For The Brain. - -S**tkicking moshpit action

3. Rise And Shine. - A true metal anthem 4. Sixteen Stone Pig. - Slow burner, then WHACK to the head!

5. 210 Dog Years. - Listen and get the message song, RATM-y but not the same as them....

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it now, 17 April 2000
By A Customer
One Minute Silence are possibly the best band in the emerging British metal scene. Their new album shows an improvement over their first album. The songs are more melodic and show great improvement musically. However, they still have tracks such as "1845" and "Food for the Brain", which are similar to the original rap-metal thrash-outs. Although they still do not capture their awesome live sound. A great album.
