REVIEW: Anyone For Doomsday? was originally scheduled to be the follow-up to Tonight The Stars Revolt!, but the band pulled it mere days before it was scheduled for release claiming they wanted to add more and fix some things. However, none of those songs ever made it onto this album...

From the poetic intro (Assess The Mess), you can tell it will be quite a trip. Spider claims "This is a theme to a fake revolution", and indeed the songs that comprise this album could be a battlecry for a revolution. The lead single "Free" is catchy as hell and just a plain-good rock song. "That's Entertainment" is an intentially 'poppy' song intended to poke fun at the premanufactured crap that is infiltrating the world today. "Hey, That's Right" is a rock song with very distorted vocoder vocals, that is very dancey at the same time. As a whole, while this is a departure from Tonight The Stars Revolt!, it's not so drastic a departure that it will leave past PM5k fans feeling left behind.
