Tonight the Stars Revolt!, released by DreamWorks on July 20, 1999, was the major-label debut from Boston's Powerman 5000, and it plays like a drive-in space invasion with the volume jammed to max. Frontman Spider One, Rob Zombie's younger brother, barks and snarls over Adam 12's chugging guitars, and producer Ulrich Wild wraps it all in a slick, mechanical crunch built for the nu metal boom.
"When Worlds Collide" was the big one, a stomping, shout-along riff machine, and "Nobody's Real" and "Supernova Goes Pop" kept the ray guns firing. Whatever you made of the camp, it worked: the album reached number 29 on the Billboard 200, went platinum with more than a million sold, and remains the band's most successful record.
