This song was mind blowing in 1999. This album holds up still, absolutely bangs from top to bottom.

Agreed. 'Tonight The Stars Revolt!' and 'Anyone For Doomsday?' were peak Powerman 5000 albums. They were awesome.

Transform also was pretty good and if only it had come out when Anyone for Doomsday was supposed to come out, they probably would've had a different career trajectory

I don't know, I wish they had released Anyone For Doomsday and just stuck with the sci-fi metal shtick. I mean, the lead singer of Powerman 5000's big brother is Rob Zombie and he's been milking the horror shtick for decades. Powerman 5000 could've done the same thing for sci-fi. But I guess it wasn't meant to be.

For sure, leaning into something would've worked. IMHO a group that probably didn't get the chance to show their full potential, either way

For all the sounds of the future, including Synthwave, Cyberpunk, Sci Fi Metal, Space Ambient, Sci fi Soundtracks, or really anything with a sci fi theme.

You can post from any source that isn't a bootleg (please respect copyright -- most artists working in this space need the income). Preferably, however, bandcamp or a similar source where advertising is kept to a minimum and you have the option to directly support the artist. YouTube versions should be avoided unless it is the artists' own channels, or are directly endorsed by the artist or their label. If posting Spotify, Apple Music, or similar source that requires a subscription, please try to find a subscription free alternative preferably, unless there is no option.

Self-promotion is allowed, but please be transparent about it.
