Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One Lie Fits All picks up where One Minute Silence's last album, Buy Now Saved Later, left off, only with slightly less Limp-Bizkit-like rap tomfoolery. This is a wise move that sharpens them up musically and brings them back in line with Rage Against the Machine, the band they were initially compared to. However, they haven't managed to dispense with the crude delivery of such politick, and their brash statements are often jarring--in contrast to the panache that Rage managed. Such crudity often fogs otherwise excellent songs, such as the menacing "The Hill Is a Hole". Predictably, there's even a song on here called "Revolution". Stark opener "Fistful of Nothing" dazzles though, and the singles "I Wear My Skin" and "We Bounce" almost live up to their initial promise, even though their covers feature a skeletal American infantryman and a stars-and-stripes-covered globe respectively.

OMS have also developed a nice line in religious iconography, without all the predictable devil-revelling--from the "idiots and sinners" nailing Yap's soul to talk of "kingdom coming". It's a shame that elsewhere the band still rely heavily on angry, nihilistic musings that get tiresome after a while. In "The Way Back" such musings seem to have been pulled out of a hat and arranged according to the "the less words I use the more profound it will sound" school of songwriting: "No purpose / How pointless / It hurts me / Why I scream in anger / At this world / I hate". Despite their efforts, their agenda and their obvious passion, OMS need a bit of divine inspiration and a touch of subtlety to get to another artistic and commercial level. --Cortman Virtue

CD Description
Third album from political Brit metallers, recovering aftera year in limbo without a record deal, follows 2000's 'Buy Now... Saved Later'. Mostly ditching the rap-metal of yore, their sound has broadened to encompass a greater range of influences, whilst remaining thunderously heavy. Produced by John Leckie (Radiohead, Muse) and John Cornfield (Supergrass,Catatonia), the album was recorded at Airfield Studio in St. Merryn, Cornwall.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blazing Return, 7 Jul 2003
After being away for over 3 years they OMS are seriously back with a vengeance with their new album, One Lie Fits All. Fans have already been given a taste of One Minute Silence's new material with two EPs and a single, but these don't compare to the brilliance of the album itself. Kicking off with Fistful Of Nothing you can tell straight away that the absence has only made them better. It is obvious that Massy who joined as the last album was being made has really come into his own with some astonshingly good riffs, while Yap continues to bark out political messages with his unique voice, Glen lets his fingers do the talking with his dazzling bass lines and Eddie beats out the rhythms with increasing ferocity. The most note worthy tracks on the album (not including the three previously released tracks Revolution, We Bounce and I Wear My Skin) are You So Much As Move, Representing The Poor Man and Black Flag, but as a whole this album is immense. Ignore at your peril.

2.0 out of 5 stars www.stateofemergency.net, 13 Feb 2004
The extremely artistic and hard hitting work of their second full length; 'Buy Now...Saved Later' was going to be tough to beat. This left many of us waiting, fingers crossed as they set about writing and recording their latest offering 'One Lie Fits All'. Whilst staying with their token Irish tinged political heavy rock, front man Brian (Yap) Barry has seemingly left the rap-rock sound behind him, only cropping occasionally, most noticeably in 'We Bounce'. This is a real shame as 'OMS' were without doubt the most sincere band of the genre.

At first listen this would appear to be a very slow record, dark and lumbering. This first impression is somewhat correct, 'OMS' have really chilled right out with only the odd frenzied onslaught of guitar. Gone are those fast paced shotgun raps and bristling riffs. I read in an interview that; 'This record has been entirely written on weed' and it shows. 'Price Of The King's Ticket' & 'The Hill Is A Hole' are filled with swirling and alluring melodies that carry Brian's urgent, yet very relaxed messages until he briefly explodes forth, emphasizing a point before slipping back into tranquility.

'The Hill Is A Hole' takes the atmosphere of 'Holy Man' and creates a twinkling backdrop of guitar and bass to compliment some extremely impressive vocals, ones that will really get your head spinning with a corrupt series of emotions that you have no control over. Surely the standout track and one which despite its slightly dreary surroundings flies the flag of hope for this fine British artist.

You may well find yourself thinking it has reached half way, when in reality has only hit track 3, where there was variety before there is now a mundane sludge of guitars and broken melodies. This record would be far more satisfying if it were from a different band, a debut perhaps. But after hearing what this band has created before, the sheer brilliance and variety of their work, it makes it difficult to enjoy this album, even on repeat listens. My advice would be; get their far superior second album 'Buy Now...Saved Later' and begin from there.. If on the other hand, you would like a chilled out, moody, slightly repetitive record full of thoughtfully written lyrics and information then get your hands on this.

Standout Tracks: 'I Wear My Skin', 'We Bounce' & 'The Hill Is A Hole'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to this or you'll regret it, 8 Jul 2003
By A Customer
Well, what can i say? i never really started of liking OMS that much, my friends talked about them alot but i never really got pulled into it. prior to the release of the album i happened to hear the single 'Revolution' and thought that it wan't too bad, but what really grabbed my attension was the first time i heard 'I wear my skin' the bass riff in this song isbrilliant, and yap really seems to know how to get his point across. of course you cant miss out how great the guitar riffs and drumming are, and this helped me finally like OMS.
so when it came to the release date for the CD i went straight to the nearest CD shop and bought my copy, eager to listen to it i went home and listened to it. Let me tell you that i am now a convirted OMS fan and i have just bought the other albums 'Available in all colours' and 'Buy now saved later'. Anyone who tells you that OMS are not a good band are lying to themselves and are missing out in another great british metal band. Definately a must!
