Review by Nisha Earney

The album "Free" by Powerman 5000 was a breath of fresh air for fans of the band. This album marks a departure from their signature industrial sound, as they embrace a more hard rock/metal sound. The album features a mix of upbeat, high-energy tracks like "Footsteps and Voices" and "Hostage" as well as slower, more introspective songs like "Black Lipstick" and "Brave New World."

The band's frontman, Spider One, delivers his trademark vocals with intensity and passion throughout the album. The guitar work is also noteworthy, with plenty of heavy riffs and solos to satisfy metal fans. The production on the album is top-notch, with crisp, clear sound that allows each instrument to shine.

Summary by Nisha Earney

While some fans may miss the band's industrial sound, "Free" shows that Powerman 5000 is not afraid to evolve and experiment with their sound. this album is a strong addition to their discography and is sure to please fans old and new.
