Joyrex Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The album cover (especially the faux-Arabic font with the cheesy bevel) is super LOL - I bet Numan himself did it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maitake Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Really don't care for his newer stuff. :\ Great guy though, and his old albums were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolkeyZ865 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Pretty decent record, though not nearly as good as Splinter. Needs less strings and choruses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Got a few deece tracks on it, Splinter is better but to have an album go in at number two this far into your career is a great achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The album was interesting though, kind of reminds me of a more industrial David Bowie or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The Quietus: Before we address the content of Gary Numan’s new record, we need to deal with that cover art. I understand that this is a concept album set in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic version of the Middle-East, where eastern and western cultures have mixed and Numan himself is some sort of strange hybrid between Mad Max and John The Baptist. But, at the end of the day, it’s him dressed up in what looks suspiciously like a traditional Bedouin garb next to the word ‘Savage’ spelled out in faux-Arabic letters. Not only is this pretty offensive on a cultural level, it’s also pretty offensive aesthetically. If there was a musical equivalent of the Razzies (which there should be), this album would clean up in the design categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've always enjoyed his work. He's like NIN (but with real song-writing talent) and his style has influenced generations of artists. His first album was back in the late 70s or something. His style is all his own - but with many, many imitators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 sounds like a popier version of trent reznor, also a bit too new age for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I can't enjoy anything he's done after Telekon. everything up to and including that was amazing. since he started getting respek from newer generations of artists (e.g. Trent Reznor) in the late 90s and onwards, his stuff became a weird, parodic, completely un-self aware echo of those artists. I can't dig it. fair play to him for commanding respect even today, though imo it's deserved most because of works like Replicas and The Pleasure Principle. Replicas gets regular play in ma hoose.

tec Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I Assasin is very good and Sacrifice is a decent bridge between his new and old stuff. I get your point but it's a sound I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
