The second album from One Minute Silence shows the lads continuing in the same vein as their debut, Available in All Colors. Think Korn and Limp Bizkit crossed with Rage Against the Machine. As the finest British purveyors of this decidedly American approach, they Americanize their sound to the point where vocals are delivered with a mid-Atlantic accent. To further their Americanization, they bite the hand that feeds them: their devil is made of dollar bills, the currency of the "evil empire." They do create a great sound built around strong guitar riffs, albeit ones that are marred by awkward attempts at astute political statements. --Helen Marquis

Where are they now?.......2006-03-21

I first heard this album back in 2000 when a friend gave it to me saying it just wasn't his thing. Well, after hearing just the first few tracks I decided it was my thing and began to listen to this album non-stop. This band has so much going for them, between their brilliant musicianship and their deep lyrical content, hitting subjects that run deeper than your "boy meets girl and then hates her guts when she sleeps with his best friend" or your "I hate Bush" (cuz he wasn't really that big a concern back then) but hits the neverending, yet politically incorrect issue of religion on their most powerfull track 'Holy Man' where they call religion out for finding itself faultless. Songs like 'On Deaf Ears' and 'Food for the Brain' or 'Fish out of Water' will without a doubt prove this bands worth, and a personal favorite '16 Stone Pig' should have solidified staying power, if not that then 'A Spoonfull of Sugar' or their passionate closer 'Words' based on the novel 'Johnny got his Gun'...SO heres my question...with all this talent, where are they now? They should still be turning out great albums like this one but they are not...there is nothing new to come from this brilliant band and thats a shame because we need more bands like this one!

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.

terribly underrated.......2005-12-26

With so many "rap Metal" bands out there, its a crime that anyone could put OMS in this catagory, Its even more a Travesty that OMS has been lost into obscurity. This album is not one bit short of amazing, and this album proves that the lead singer yap's decision to "call it a day" and leave this work behind a real loss. While most people have never heard of OMS is nice to know thier work wasnt lost into hip trends, but to see it unavailable even to amazon, is disturbing. While certainly they arent gods, just musicians, thier music has definitely gone overalll unheard, and thier message is a valid and important one, its just sad to see it fade so quietly. I'd say the only decent comparison to OMS is Rage Against the Machine, not so much musically, but more politically. Either way, its a must for anyone who has even heard of thier name...

If you like the album, you should see them live........2005-08-17

First saw them at The Venue, East Belfast, on the off-chance and have been hook ever since. Was fortunate to see them again a few months later, headlining with Slipknot and the Docklands Arena, London.

Warning: Fish-out-of-water. Do not listen to it at work! Singing along to it may make other's offended. "...loser!"

Wrote this review when looking for a latest album. Does not appear to be one, so off to Google I go....

A Pretty Decent Sophomore Album.......2005-03-25

Most of the albums I review are ones I either don't have or don't even bother to buy. However, I have this album, and it's good. I also have "Available In All Colors", which is slightly better.

1. "Rise and Shine" - 2/5 - The intro is repetitive and annoying, especially with that British accent.
2. "1845" - 3/5 - Repetitive intro, but better than "Rise and Shine".
3. "Holy Man" - 5/5 - A very brutal masterpiece.
4. "It's Just A Ride" - 7/5 - Love this song. Enough said.
5. "Food For The Brain" - 5/5 - Brings back the spirit of "Available In All Colors"
6. "Fish Out of Water" - 7/5 - Yet another classic.
7. "Roof Of The World" - 6/5 - Think Godsmack with a British Rage Against The Machine. Really good.
8. "16 Stone Pig" - 2/5 - Not very good...
9. "210 Dog Years" - 4/5 - Pretty good.
10. "If I Can Change" - 1/5 - Skip this track.
11. "Spoonful Of Sugar" - 6/5 - Good bass intro line. Very great track.
12. "On Deaf Ears" - 6/5 - Kicks ass.
13. "Day In The Light Of" - 5/5 - Great aggression.
14. "Words" - 6/5 - Sounds a lot like Rage Against The Machine's "Freedom". Still a good track.

Anyways, I'd try to look for this CD if I were you.

One Minute Silence..........Not Likley.......2000-08-12

One Minute silence, are more than just a heavy band. They use the music of RATM, crosed with the amazing System of a Down. This London based band is possibly the only decent noise, sight or smell, to come out of London.
