ONE MINUTE SILENCE - Buy Now... Saved Later
-
Going back 6 years into the vault and digging out this classic album for a review as it is likely an unknown album for most.

UK's One Minute Silence broke into the scene a bit late to make a big impact but I can assure you they are worth your time. Their self titled was launched in 98' (Some 6 years after RATM's Self Titled Debut) and this album, their sophomore effort, in 2000. Many people foolish passed them off as a Rage Clone... Nothing could be further from the truth. Granted their S/T echoed much of Rage's early work. By Now... Saved Later is nothing short of brilliant progressive rap-styled nu-metal. (yeah I know it's hard to believe) Fueled by a lyrical political agenda... Brian Brian, aka YAP, rhymed, screamed, and spoke to get his message across.

Sadly, this album opened quite weak with the first 2 tracks merely being ok, they were just a bit straight forward compared to what would come. Track 3 `Holy Man' is where the album begins to really grab your attention. A great social commentary on how every Religion believes they are without fault. The album continues strong up until track 10 which has an intro which is way too dragged out. Tracks 11, 12 and 13 are all top notch tracks which leads into the passionate closer `Words', a song based on the Dalton Trumbo novel, `Johnny Got His Gun'.

I highly recommend this CD for anyone who may have been a RATM and is looking for something similar yet something entirely fresh. OMS, has no shortage of talent, this album, especially has incredible song writing and a fantastic vocalist / lyricist at their helm.

Favorite Songs: Words, Holy Man, A Spoonful of Sugar, Food for Your Brain, and Day in the Light Of.
-4.5 Stars.

Anger and angst in rock music are fairly well-abused commodities. You only have to look at some of the so-called alternate bands that seem to spring up at regular intervals, all upset at the world but not really saying much in the process. Indeed, this is a style that bands such as Rage Against The Machine have pretty much made their own, dragging along a few good imitators in their illustrious, albeit spiteful wake. One Minute Silence are a difficult proposition therefore, particularly since they sound American, but are actually from the United Kingdom. If there is anything to be learned about adopting this style and approach to your music, it is the fact that it almost certainly ensures that you will receive a much more favourable (and indeed profitable) reception on the other side of the Atlantic, (just ask Bush). Having said that,OMS are a fantastic band, who really know how to play, and pack a real punch with their music. Tracks such as "1845" and "Holy Man" are representative of the powerful style that these guys are so good at. The only times it doesn't feel quite as real is when they try to slow things down. In keeping with the feel and level of their live shows, (these guys are AWESOME live), intensity is really what they do best. Focus on these parts and you will find this album very pleasing indeed. Overall, they stay focused with their rage, and don't come across as full of hate just for the hell of it.In short, they keep it real. At the end of the day, if it gets your blood pumping and the adrenaline flowing, you really can't ask for much more can you?

If Rage, Tool, System of a Down, and Limp collided in a 4-way collision at an intersection and only the best of all survived and created an agressive, corrosive cd....this would be the result! Strap on your headphones and enjoy a pure adrenalin injection. I loved the whole cd at first listen....it's been a while since i bought a cd that I could listen to from start to finish and then hit repeat. I wish I could buy stock in these guys, this cd is the balls.
