Face Of The Band disambig'd per TRS. Don't link it anywhere.


* FaceOfTheBand: Spider One, natch. The band sometimes jokes that the name of the group was supposed to be Power''men'' 5000, but Spider's ego wouldn't allow for it.

* HarsherInHindsight: ''Anyone For Doomsday?'', their follow-up album after the highly successful ''Tonight The Stars Revolt!'', was slated for release in mid-2001, but was cancelled only a few weeks before its slated release. Considering [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror what would happen]] just a few months after the album's cancellation...

Considering [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror what would happen]] just a few months after the album's cancellation... The fact that the lead single was called "Bombshell" doesn't help either.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Most agree that their peak was ''Tonight The Stars Revolt!''
* BrokenBase: ''Destroy What You Enjoy'', depending on who you ask, was either a good change for Powerman or their worst album.
** The recent controversy between the similarities of "When Worlds Collide" and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'''s "Fiend". Opinions are torn between the camp that believes that the XIV team ripped off Powerman ([[http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/283311-Sephirot-Theme-%28-Phase-2-%29-sound-familiar?p=3589465#post3589465 Despite Yoshida himself saying that this was not meant to be the case]]) and the camp that believe that the group are over-exaggerating the similarities of the song (or are making the similarities up entirely) and are simply clinging to their last shreds of relevance.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While the band did very well in the States, they also had a ''huge'' following in New Zealand, with ''Tonight the Stars Revolt!'' selling over a million copies there.

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Tonight The Stars Revolt!'' Definitely the album by which all future Powerman albums are judged; it's where their energetic industrial[=/=]punk[=/=]metal sound was set in stone.
