Album Review
Powerman 5000 got a bit "punk-y" on their 2006 release, Destroy What You Enjoy. But by the time of their follow-up, 2009's Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere, Spider and company are back to their earlier direction — schizoid electroid metal — that is knee-deep in horror/sci-fi/B-movie imagery. Sure, the whole shebang may recall the direction that Spider's older brother originally trailblazed, but there's no denying the shlocky good time that Powerman 5000 cooks up throughout, especially on such standouts as the part-metal/part-dance "Do Your Thing" (which could be played on the dancefloor and in a mosh pit — how may songs can you say that about?), as well as the so-stupid-that-it's-instantly-memorable "V is for Vampire," and several tunes that bring to mind vintage Gary Numan at certain points sonically ("Time Bomb Baby," "Get Your Bones," etc.). Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere may not be selected as the most trailblazing metal album of all time, but there's no denying the party-hearty vibe that it creates — amidst all the masks, space aliens, circuitry, and plasma.
Customer Reviews
Mmmm dirty synths
It's grindy, experitmental, industrial rock with lots of loud grindy synths. "Make Us Insane" is my favourite guitar hook of the 21st century, it's so well executed with clear edited precision. Turn that song up LOUD and let it eat up your ears. I was sold when I first heard "supervillian" and "V is for Vampire. Powerman 5000 have put out their best release as a whole. Glad it took the time to develop into what it is.
They Are Back
Powerman 5000 are back to their industrial style music, comparing to Tonight The Stars Revolt and Anyone For Doomsday? I've been waiting for this album for a long time, and it did not dissappoint. V is for Vampire is my absolute favorite track. Buy it, it's worth it.
killer!
Awesome album! Every song is catchy and very good. Definitely a cd worth buying!
