5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the funkier material, 10 Nov 2002

Mick E (Up north) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Metal Rhythm (Audio CD)

I always found that opinions on 'Metal Rhythm' fell into two categories:

A) that it was an excellent, tough piece of electro-funk

B) that it's sound had strayed too far from the sounds of 'Replicas' and 'Telekon'

While I understood the concerns of fans who were 'point B', I basically thought that 'Metal Rhythm' stands not only as one of Numan's better collections from the middle years, but is also arguably his last really well-produced album.

Numan adopted a funkier, yet more aggressive stance for this album, losing the dreaminess and occasional lack of cohesion of 'Strange Charm'. From the superb opener 'This Is Emotion' (he generally opened albums well) right through to the final track 'Don't Call My Name', Numan carves up an electro-funk feast with stuff like 'Respect', 'Hunger', 'Cold Metal Rhythm' and the now classic 'Voix'.

Although there is undoubtedly some blatant creative-copying flying around on 'Metal Rhythm' this is still a tremendous album and undoubtedly among Numan's finest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gary at he's funkiest, 16 Nov 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Metal Rhythm (Audio CD)

Around this time Gary Numan was getting some bad press saying that he was a retro pop star that should retire from making hisa own music. When he brought this album out I bought it on audio cassette and just a few months ago. It is an excellent album, probably one of his best in his electronic era.

3.0 out of 5 stars Metal Rhythm, that's what it sounds like...
Being a Gary Numan fan I found his older work better to listen to, more music-instruments, less electronics.
Still it is a good buy, if you like Numan.
