5.0 out of 5 stars Numan's best - 23 years on! 17 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Well, what can you say? The twists and turns of this man's career beggar belief. Gary's return to top form of recent years has silenced even the most belligerent critic. It's satisfying to hear well over 100 contemporary artists ranging from Marilyn Manson, to Beck, Blur to Boy George - all paying tribute to Gary's influence on modern day music either by covering his songs (Random, Random-2 amongst the many releases now available) or confirming their respect in magazine interviews.

Gary's music now retains the cold, dark haunting moods from classics such as the Replicas and Telekon albums. But he has listened to what is out there, and has masterfully mixed in new, industrial themes to record one of the most lavishly produced, grandiose albums of his career.

If you have ever been tempted by any of his music, buy this album now. But don't expect a throw-away poppy radio-friendly LP. This is 'grown-up' Gary with swooping melodies, crashing anthemic storms and thought-provoking lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dark brooding masterpiece 19 Mar 2004
By Richard Kelly TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Everyone knows who Gary Numan is don't they?

He's that bloke who did Cars isn't he?

Well yes he is, but don't expect this to sound anything like Tubeway Army or his early solo stuff.

For years now Gary has been experimenting with audio sound scape and this is his pinacle so far - there is a new album on the way soon....

Expect wall to wall synths, drum loops, guitars and Numans haunting voice. This album is a dark and brooding as anything by the great goth bands of the 80's - it's also chillingly beautiful with some great melodies. If you liked Exile then it's more of the same, except that the quality is much improved.

An album to listen to on a dark cold night, with the volume turned up and the weight of the world on your shoulders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Numan of old - this is fab, modern & aggressive! 28 April 2003
By F. W. Bristow
Format:Audio CD
You think Numan is a synth-playing robotic freak? Forget it. This album is guitar driven, with a full, industrial sound and haunting lyrics. The songs are fast moving, confrontational, and cling desparately to you.

Trent Reznor quotes Numan as one of his inspirations, but things have gone full circle as on "Fallen" and "My Jesus" Numan claims back some of Nine Inch Nails' sound as his own. On "Pure", "Rip" and "I Can't Breathe" he moves smoothly from gentle accusation to screaming demands, and back again, meaning that the choruses leap out at you - this is not an album which fades into the background but one which compels.

Lyrics like "I want to feel your innocence, I want to hear you beg for 'Him'" and "...feels so warm inside of you" are also reminiscent of the Nails' mood in "Closer", but despite these apparent similarities, you won't need to already be a fan of either Numan or Nails to enjoy this. The sound is unique - probably the best album Numan has made.
