Review: This is my own personal favorite Gary Numan album, and one of my favorite records of all time. Paranoid and dark, atmospheric and illustrative, just some really superb writing on here -- both lyrically and musically. Gary Numan would often return to songs that illustrate a sci-fi world, but this is the most cohesive and important of these albums. If you get one Gary Numan record, get this one. (Though, after you get this one, you'll probably want the rest.) - Rev. Syung Myung Me
