4 out of 5 stars This was actually released in short print in 2003.......2006-08-26

a friend of mine bought this from pm5k in 2003 of an online store for a nominal price of around $17. i had already listened to this album a million times and wish again that pm5k would rerelease this but as i dont see that happening because sometimes its not best to dwell on "ones" past.. Transform was ehhh compared to this.some catch tunes..but nothing like this.. but i do have to say about DWYE there are 4 songs that just grab you and pull you through them..ill review those on DWYE

5 out of 5 stars The end of the true Powerman 5000.......2006-07-04

This would have been the last good Powerman 5000 album...if it was ever released. The only way you can listen to these songs is buy buying a RARE promo album, or downloading them off of the internet. Its really a shame, because this album would have been great. In my opinion everything after this "Album that never was" and before "Tonight the Stars Revolt" are just horrible. I was able to stand "Transform" to an extent, but it just isnt right you know? Thats not to say you shouldnt look into buying it, but it is distant from anything on the "album that never was" and "Tonight the Stars Revolt."

Powerman 5000 is dead now. Maybe someday Spider will come to his senses and release this album, or go back to the heavier Alternative Metal/Heavy Metal sound on "Tonight the Stars Revolt" and this unrealeased masterpiece instead of the mainstream Alternative Rock/Punk Rock sound they have now. Who knows...

Anyone for Doomsday? is an excellent transition from Tonight the Stars Revolt! to Transform. It's a shame this album was not officially released, as it is, in my opinion, one of their strongest works. AFD? plays faster and more clear than the trippy TTSR and is more experimental and true to the old PM5K sound than their newest Transform.
Megatronic, The Future That Never Was, and Tomorrow Is yesterday are my personal faves. The closing track delivers the usual "outro" in tradition of most PM5K albums; it's a track that leaves you with a good taste in your mouth when the album concludes. Megatronic is perhaps the most memorable on the CD, sounding a little like Powerman's older works yet brandishing a unique feel that is continued on neither this album nor the next.
I highly recommend this lost gem; buy it if you can or download it. PM5K fans and new listeners alike should benefit from this fine piece of music that unfortunately was chosen not to be released.

4 out of 5 stars Possibly the best nu-metal influenced album ever........2005-11-23

I like me quite a bit of nu-metal, because I am a person who indulges in guilty pleasures. I've heard a whole lot as a result, a whole hell of a lot, but this is the best nu-metal influenced album EVER. It's better than anything Korn put out, better than any Slipknot album, better than any Rob Zombie album, better than any *insert random nu-metal band/album here.*

Why?

Well, I liked Tonight the Stars Revolt!, but listening to it all the way through was tiring. The old nu-metal trick of dropping out the riffs entirely and focusing on vox, drums, and electronic effects during the verses, then suddenly erupting in violent guitar explosions during the chorus, was used in nearly EVERY song. The drum patterns were simplistic and repetitive, and rather annoying. Spider's vocals, while decent, can not carry an album on their own, as they were expected to do so on TTSR.

They fixed this problem with Anyone For Doomsday. Fixed it good. During the verses, more often than not, there're at least some quick guitar licks, and more often than not, full-out under-verse riffs that lead into even better chorus riffs. Powerman5000 packed this album with more riffs than I've ever heard in a nu-metal album, and that's what catapults them over the top.

My favorite songs are spread over the record: Danger is Go! and Bombshell are known to every P5000 fan by now, and they're chock-full of awesome riffs, heavy bridges (the third bridge, or whatever you call it, in Danger is Go! is so ludicrously heavy that it sounds like death metal), Tomorrow is Yesterday has a great intro riff, and some twisted guitar-noodling over the shout-along chorus, The One and Only and Wake Up are both kick-you-in-the-face anthems of aggression with (you guessed it) riffs out the buttocks, and the dual closing pair of Megatronic and The Future that Never Was evoke The Prodigy, David Bowie, and the instrumental interludes in NIN's The Fragile.

I recommend that you head out to Megatronic.com or whatever P5000's new website is and buy a dang copy. It's much better than anything they've done before, and better than anything they've done since.

5 out of 5 stars Danger is GO.......2004-10-02

I dont really care if it came out in Sep. 11 because its freedom of speech. Anyways its like faster and Harder then Stars Revolt. I love it better then "Transform". I just hope there next album is close as this and Im glad there three new singles would be on Smackdown Vs Raw. Believe me there going to be good as these songs.
