I mean seriously its good to have your own opinion but I can't honestly understand how you can try and bash a whole genera of music when you prob. havent even heard any real good songs. Thats like me saying all rap or hip hop sucks based on the few songs I have heard but I dont because there prob is good rap and hip hop out there. ok how can you say metal sucks what do you listen to boybands and hip hop? what do you listen to when you need to get pumped up r kelly?

That's a coincidence, not really ironic. Powerman is boring both live and on record. Rob, do you write for Alanis? That’s a coincidence, not really ironic.

Kung Fu Radio was fucking awesome. One of the most original sounding records at the time. Tonight the Stars Revolt was a great radio rock record. After that, they kind of imploded. Transform, I bought because I didn't know what to expect. When I heard it, I didn't like it. Their newest one, I only heard the single through watching the video and it was just scary. I really wasn't digging the whole "Spider does Billy Idol" vibe. I'd really love it if they'd go back to some iteration similar to their earlier albums. We'll see. Mega!!

Last I head from them(some song that involved "World" in the title) they sounded much more punk and hard rock influence...actually there wasn't a hit of industrial in the entire song. I did sort of enjoy them back in the day...tho I don't think they're anywhere near as good as Zombie. Woa, so they’re back to industrial?

While Spyder had to replace pretty much all the band members, it's nice to hear Dave Pino, (of Seemless, Graveyard BBQ, Waltham, Damone, and many more) on this new recording finally.

I got their first two albums for free and I can't even remember what happened to those disks... and I could care less. One of those bands everyone will forget about until Vince confesses another flashback band! They had one hit, and not on their last release. I'm more interested in seeing if you guys find something on the album to write about than what the album actually sounds like. PM5K is fun in an “I’m a jock and I like metal too” kind of way.

I really liked Mega! kung fu radio and tonight the stars revolt, but not enough to stop me from trading them in earlier this year after collecting dust in my apartment for many years.
