Free Music Review: Straight ahead, no frills, high energy, rockin' good time!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow, I can't believe that so many people take the progress of a sci-fi industrial/nu-metal band so seriously.
Before I really get into my review, let me just say that before I bought this album, I only knew Powerman 5000 from "When Worlds Collide." I had not heard anything else by Powerman 5000, just that one song. That means that I'm coming here with an objective reveiw that, unlike most other reviews for this particular product, isn't based around "It doesn't sound like Tonight The Stars Revolt, and therefore sucks!"
A lot of people have been bashing this album really badly, and I don't understand why. Yes, its not the most intelligent music the world has ever seen, but since when did good Rock 'n' roll ever have to be smart? The reason why I love this album is simple: its loud, snotty, has tons of energy, and (most importantly) is filled with big, dumb hooks.
It also has a very old-school punk vibe to it, and in this day and age where 99% of punk bands suck out loud, its nice to see that someone still knows how its done.
Some highlights:
"Return To The City Of The Dead" -I saw them performing this live on Attack of the Show, and thats what convinced me to buy the album, its a killer tune as far as I'm concerned, so much fun.
"Enemies" -A Sex Pistols song, plain and simple. From the opening riff, to the snotty asides Spider tosses out after singing "But you don't understand me anywaaaaayyyyyy," right down to when it "ends with the honest-to-goodness sound of Spider making a fart noise with his mouth" (obviously a reference to Johnny Rotten making a similar fart noise with his mouth at the end of "EMI" for all those poeple who somehow didn't understand why he did that), this is a total old school, Sex Pistols influenced punk song, and it ROCKS!!!
"Now Thats Rock 'N' Roll" -Now that IS rock 'n' roll! This one is a total pump-up-the-crowd song, and man does it work! This one gets my "most likely to have you turn up your car stereo" award, because there's no way you can listen to this one quietly.
"Walking Disaster" -Yeah, the Whoa-oh's in the chorus do make it sound a bit Offspring-ish, but this sounds more like the Dead Boys sped up, or like Electric Frankenstien (who, coincidentally, sound like the Dead Boys sped up), but thats fine, once again, its a throwback to the days when punk still had a rock 'n' roll backbone (aka, the late 70's/early 80's). I love how this songs builds. It starts out intense, and just gets more and more crazy.
"Miss America" -A sarcastic, funny song attacking American culture (sample lyric: "Fat people in shopping malls/Meet me at the big and tall"), done Country/Western style in an obvious satire of all those cartoonishly patriotic country songs we've had the last couple of years.
Overall, a great, extremely fun example of what rock 'n' roll can be when a band throws away any pretensions and concerns of fitting into one particular subgenre and decides to just rock out. Only a bitter, joyless husk of a human being could listen to this thing and not have any fun at all with it.
If you're looking for a follow up to "Tonight the Stars Revolt," this is not it. But if you were looking for a good, heavy, rock 'n' roll album, you just found one.
