Powerman 5000

Tonight the Stars Revolt!

Dreamworks Records

For those of you who think Rob Zombie is the best thing since spreadable butter, you need to check this band out. Why? Because Rob’s little brother, Spider 1 (I bet he made this up), is the lead singer/writer for PM5K. Not only that, but the music is remarkably similar to Rob’s. Whereas Rob sings about Satan and death and destruction, Spidey sings about the future and death and destruction. A future run by machines, computers, yada, yada, yada. I think you get the picture. This CD does not suck, but it is just so…. Kind of like Rob Zombie. The production is excellent, the guitars at times are extremely heavy, but it just tends to make me go zzzzzzz……. I think you get the picture. Save your money.
