Anyone for Doomsday? is the third studio album by American rock band Powerman 5000. It was scheduled to be released on August 28, 2001, but was cancelled just weeks before its release. Originally, frontman Spider One claimed he was still writing songs for the album, and that the band's label, DreamWorks, was putting them under pressure to meet the album's deadline.[4][5] Eventually, the album was scrapped, as Spider claimed it sounded too similar to their previous effort, Tonight the Stars Revolt!.
The track "Bombshell" was released as the only single from the album on July 10, 2001,[6] peaking at no. 30 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[5]

Notes
- "The Future That Never Was" ends at 4:35. After 30 seconds of silence (4:35–5:05), a hidden track starts; it's a strange transmission-like sound with some additional beats before cutting off completely.
- The original version of "Rise" can be found on demo versions of the album.
- "Disease of Machinery" is sometimes listed as "Machines for the Living" on the back.
