The second album by Powerman 5000 was without a doubt there most popular release as it was at the height of nu metal genre. Powerman 5000 has this fixation on sci fi and sounds heavy with sound effects like Rob Zombie uses which he's even featured in the track "Blast Off to Nowhere". The production is fantastic but, there's several things to shake your head at as well. One of them being there stage names as Spider One(vocalist),M.33(guitarist),Dorian 27(bass), Adam 12(guitar) and Al 3(drums). I think that's most of the complete lineup from this album(I had to look it up). Like Slipknot, these guys came up on the scene both from the Ozzfest tours. I think Powerman 5000 was on the Ozzfest consecutive years sometime in the nineties and ended up being one of those bands that started on the second stage that made enough noize to be on main stage the next year. There music videos often look like a movie that the Sci Fi channel airs at 3am in the morning. The singer totally reminds me of Billy Idol, I wonder if that's one his main influences..What can I say I was listening to these guys in elementary school like System of a Down. Could never deny the past, I wasn't into the nu metal scene that much but, some pretty cool stuff was out there early 2000's.
