Micr0waveman I'm so glad they stuck with their musical career instead of getting "real jobs" at the factory assembling cars. Mega-Wattson really is a vocal force x distance to be reckoned with. Favorite track: These People Like to Dance.

etezcatl Compressorhead me impresionó en un principió por el simple hecho de ser robots tocando música. El hecho de que no se hubieran quedado sólo en eso, sino que además quienes manejan el proyecto se dedicaron a integrarle también composiciones propias bastante buenas y de reminiscencias al buen rock pesado "clásico", lo hacen un proyecto extraordinario. Espero con ansias el próximo álbum. Compressorhead ist super toll! Favorite track: Compressorhead.

something157 This album serves as proof that Compressorhead isn't just a gimmick. They can output some great heavy punk rock. Favorite track: My Girlfriend's a Robot.

Made To Be 03:16
A collection of those who came before me The latest version of uniformity They cut me out Cut and paste Delete the trash Erased the waste Installing programs from the ages (Chorus) Made to be I'm not what I was Made to be I'm not what I was Was I made to find the answers? (You're here to do what you are told) Was I made to blaze a trail? (Just keep your eyes upon the road Just here to be (So be...) Just here to say (Okay...) Just here to do (What's right...) Just here today What is this that you have made me? (Chorus) I keep my eyes upon the long road (You were made to blaze a trail) I do the things that I was told to (Question everything you've heard) This isn't me That isn't you Cause you're in me And I'm in you I know that this is what you've made of me (Chorus) [x2] Made to be
