Gary Numan - an honest guide

A Listmania! list by Mick E (Up north)
 
Dance + 5 Bonus Tracks
1.  Dance + 5 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "The one and only time Gary Numan has experimented with his music. Complete and utter magic."
£4.99
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

Pure
2.  Pure by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "By far Numan's most powerful work, but he's played it to death at virtually every gig since it's release (and he's still droning on about God)."
£11.07   Used & New from: £5.94
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews)

Sacrifice
3.  Sacrifice by Gary Numan
The list author says:

The Pleasure Principle + 7 Bonus Tracks
4.  The Pleasure Principle + 7 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Hard to find fault with this. I could nit-pick and say that there's not much sonic variation but with the likes of 'Metal', 'Tracks' and 'Films' who could possibly care?"
£7.49   Used & New from: £5.44
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

Metal Rhythm
5.  Metal Rhythm by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Some good stuff here. Let down by Numan over-commercialising his sound and some absolutely rampant plagiarism."
Used & New from: £14.49
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

The Fury
6.  The Fury by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Disliked by a lot of Numan fans - more for the image than the music? I think it's got some superb moments and sounded great live."
Used & New from: £325.33
3.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Replicas
7.  Replicas by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Certainly under-produced, but 'Replicas' is still amongst Numan's strongest collection of songs."
£7.69   Used & New from: £4.92
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Exile
8.  Exile by Tony De Vit
The list author says:
  "Maybe not as musically strong as 'Sacrifice' but 'Exile' does have an all-round stronger sound. The production is a little better but by no means perfect."
£5.18   Used & New from: £2.97
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Berserker
9.  Berserker by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "An improvement on it's predecessor, 'Warriors', that's for sure. Terrible image choice though."
Out of stock
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

I, Assassin
10.  I, Assassin by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Two great singles ('Music For Chameleons', 'We Take Mystery') plus the superb 'This Is My House'. The rest are merely OK but most of the bonus tracks are phenomenal!"
£5.99   Used & New from: £4.75
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Telekon + 6 Bonus Tracks
11.  Telekon + 6 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Personally, I think 'Telekon' shows it's age badly at certain points ('Please Push No More', 'The Aircrash Bureau', title track). There's also no denying that it contains some awesome tracks too."
£7.99   Used & New from: £4.39
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Tubeway Army
12.  Tubeway Army by Gary Numan & Tubeway Army
The list author says:
  "Hit and miss, but it does have my pick as Numan's best ever song - 'Jo The Waiter'."
£7.64   Used & New from: £4.90
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

The Plan + 12 Bonus Tracks
13.  The Plan + 12 Bonus Tracks by Gary Numan
£5.99   Used & New from: £4.48
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Strange Charm
14.  Strange Charm by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Hugely erratic! Ranges from classic Numan ('My Breathing' and the instrumentals) to the downright awful ('The Need', 'Unknown And Hostile')."
Used & New from: £12.24
3.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Warriors
15.  Warriors by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Musically, the beginning of the end, though the title track is still utterly wonderful."
£5.99   Used & New from: £4.68
3.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Outland
16.  Outland by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "A dreadfully plagiaristic, tinny and irrelevant album, only redeemed by some of the bonus tracks. 'Shame' is superb and 'Icehouse' is a good cut."
Used & New from: £12.00
2.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Gary Numan-Shadow Man [VHS]
17.  Gary Numan-Shadow Man [VHS] VHS Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "The promos from 'Warriors' to 'Machine + Soul'. They range from poor to downright embarrassing."
Used & New from: £6.95
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Human
18.  Human by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "No more than semi-interesting background music."
Used & New from: £9.99

Machine and Soul
19.  Machine and Soul by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Not much to say about this that hasn't been said before. Mostly bile."
Used & New from: £10.18

Gary Numan - Hope Bleeds: Live [DVD]
20.  Gary Numan - Hope Bleeds: Live [DVD] DVD ~ Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "A decent show, but it does highlight problems in Numan's later concerts: average musicianship, samey set-lists, over-reliance on DAT and, worst of all, BLATANT MIMING!!"
Used & New from: £11.28
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Hybrid
21.  Hybrid by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "'Hybrid' is a big, big let-down. The bonus DVD 'Mutate' is worth having for the modern promos."
Used & New from: £18.45
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

The Mix
22.  The Mix by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Mostly bouncy, Euro-slime re-workings. 'Emotion' sounds a bit better though (not hard...)."
Used & New from: £11.81
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Gary Numan - Berserker [DVD]
23.  Gary Numan - Berserker [DVD] DVD ~ Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Not worth buying as the full gig ('Cold Warning') is now available on Numan's own website making this DVD totally irrelevant."
Used & New from: £8.95
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Jagged
24.  Jagged by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Just when he'd built up a little momentum with 'Pure' he takes 6 years off and comes back with this unimaginative, lazy, samey and lyrically poor album (with abysmal intros and choruses)."
£8.62   Used & New from: £7.38
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (143 customer reviews)

Automatic [VINYL]
25.  Automatic [VINYL] by (Bill) Sharpe & (Gary) Numan
The list author says:
  "In fairness to Numan, he didn't write the music on this mind-numbing bland-fest - but he should never have gotten involved with it in the first place. 'Change Your Mind' and 'Voices' stand out."
Used & New from: £11.00
