Powerman 5000 - Anyone For Doomsday? (2001)

Country: U.S.A.
Genre: Industrial Rock
Label Number: 0044-50296-2

AllMusic Review by Christina Fuoco
The appropriately titled Anyone for Doomsday? was doomed from the beginning. Worlds seemed to have collided and Powerman 5000, after originally postponing the release of Anyone for Doomsday?, ended up shelving the album. It's unfortunate because Anyone for Doomsday? isn't a half-bad album, with its quirky, staccato guitars and heavy electronic sounds. After the haunting intro, the album kicks off with the hook-laden Ministry-like screamfest "Danger Is Go!" "Megatronic" possesses robotic vocals, recalling a 2001 rock follow-up to the rap staple "Jam On It." However, Anyone for Doomsday? is redundant. It sounds as if lead singer Spider One (brother of rocker Rob Zombie) took advantage of the success of his single "Nobody's Real" from 1999's Tonight the Stars Revolt and rolled it into a 13-song album.
