Transform (Powerman 5000 Album)
''Transform'' is the fourth studio album by American rock band Powerman 5000, released May 20, 2003. It is an enhanced CD that includes the videos for "Free" and "Action", the album's two single (music), singles. Musical and visual style ''Transform'' marked, both musically and visually, an obvious change from Powerman 5000's previous science fiction theme. Recording began in July 2002 and saw the band composed songs in a simpler, more straightforward manner with less emphasis on industrial metal and nu metal elements and heaviness. The video for its lead single, "Free", also demonstrated the band's visual stylistic detour in which, rather than space costumes, the majority of band members are dressed in denim while performing in a red room covered in graffiti, creating a colorful, punk rock influenced edge. The album artwork contains symbols reminiscent of the Amphisbaena. Adorning the CD artwork are four two-headed arrows wrapped back pointing at each other, the outermost one sp ...
