Contrary to previous One Minute Silence singles such as Revolution and We Bounce, this one is especially worth buying. Why, you might ask? There are three vital reasons why this is (almost certainly) the most worthwhile single the band`s released in the pre-One Lie Fits All era (One Lie Fits All is the title of their forthcoming, July 2003 release). Those reasons are as follows:

#1 -- the title track here is NOT edited. Both "Revolution" and "We Bounce" were edited on their respective singles and were not available unedited until the release of the full-length CD. The version here is 3:27, whereas on I Wear My Skin 1 it is approximately 2:50.

#2 -- the two b-sides here, "In The Boat" and "I Don't Want To Wear Your Grey", will not be featured on One Lie Fits All. "In The Boat" is particularly enjoyable because it's taken from Yap's experience with Slipknot's drummer Shawn; in which Shawn thought of a number of people he admired, and, consequently, put them in a boat (figuratively). Shawn said Yap would be one of the people in his illustrious boat.

#3 -- duh... it's One Minute Silence! If you don't like OMS then why the heck are looking at this? However, if you know and love this band, this would definitely be a meaningful purchase.

All three of these songs are excellent, and these three reasons should be enough to persuade you to buy this single. Sure, it's a little bit pricey for just three songs, but again, they are all great. And it's One Minute Silence. This CD-single acts only as an hors d'oeuvre for the main course that is One Lie Fits All. These tracks continue OMS's political statements and manipulating of humanity. So when all's said and done, just buy this. You won't be disappointed.
