Coming down off his trip-hop days in Massive Attack, Jon Harris and his new band Sunna deftly traverse more genres of rock in their debut album than most groups attempt in a career. One Minute Science proves an unlikely alchemy of hard-driving metal; electronic noise; and rootsy, careful vocals. This album seethes with testosterone-driven intensity. While Sunna seem to derive influence from everyone from Soundgarden to Nine Inch Nails to Ben Harper, no single sound prevails. You'll find yourself headbanging with "Power Struggle" one moment ("I will survive 'cause I want more and I will create a bigger war... I will defeat you") and crooning along on "Forlorn" the next ("Do I live in my dream forlorn? If you join me there, together we have home"). While each song on One Minute Science stylistically defies the one that precedes it, they all thematically meld. The result is an album that is taut, dark, and compelling.--Cintra Pollack

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good Debut, August 16, 2000

By A Customer

I just bought this today on a whim. Mostly because they are tourring with A Perfect Circle. It is a very good album that has a variaty of musical styles. It starts with a good classic semi-industrial headbanger then a soft ballad, this pattern continues for a while ( Hard, Soft, Hard, Soft, .ect..) And then turns into an album of soft/experimental songs. If you only hear the commercial song "Power Struggle" Don't expect the whole album to be like it. The point is you have to read into this album, it is very powerfull with some great lyrics, but if you just want fast handbanging industrial, there are only a couple songs. The best tracks are Too Much, I'm Not Trading, and their single Power Struggle. ( check out the creepy video for that...) This is a good debut, and this band has some great talent and could be five stars on the next release. If you liked Perfect Circle's Mer De Noms, you should like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad First Album..., August 22, 2000

By	"paiger42" (Kutztown, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I have to admit, the only reason that I bought this CD was because I had tickets to see A Perfect Circle, and this band was the opening act. I had never heard of these guys (obviously, they are a new band), and so, I wanted to hear what I would be seeing at the show. And, happily, I like what I heard. If you are a fan of heavy music, then this may not be for you. This is a surprisingly mellow disc, but there are a few heavier tracks. I especially enjoy the song "Power Struggle," which also appears on the "Hollow Man" soundtrack, and the first song on the disc, "I'm Not Trading" has quickly become a favorite of mine. And after seeing these guys perform live, I like them all the more. They sounded great and put on a good show. Also, they seem to really be very appreciative of the support that they are getting from the Tool/A Perfect Circle fans. I like them a lot, and think that they are a band to watch in the future.
