SOME OTHER THOUGHTS ON THE NEW ALBUM!

Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowherehas its feet planted akimbo, with one in metal and the other in pop. If you need a reminder that the rules for rock have changed in the 21st century look no further than the utter lack of shame in this dichotomy. And that’s a good thing, in case you were wondering.

KIND WORDS.

Found this nice review of our latest. Yeah, it's old but what the hell. THANX http://www.kikaxemusic.com/

SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NOWHERE is a tasty 33 minute sonic journey that will leave hardcore fans craving for more. Once past the "intro" piece "Intelligent Creatures", Spider One and crew kick into high-gear with "Show Me What You've Got", reminding listeners why they liked PM5K in the first place. Charging into the first single "Super Villain" and through "V is for Vampire", the trip is more than half over. With 11 tracks (only nine of which are actual songs), the album's main fault is that it's just too damn short. SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NOWHERE can be compared to an amusement park ride: it's practically over before it begins, but in the end you'll scream "Again! Again!"
