[@conorleeson-davis6666]

In 1978, when I was 9 and already broken, abused and lost I stumbled across this guy through his music - he inspired me in every sense of the word and here I stand 40 years later.

[@vboyett13]

I was 9 then also... and broken.

[@dmwilko]

I was 12 then...also broken. Seeing Gary Numan, someone who received a fair bit of ridicule from the press, back now and seemingly stronger than ever - really feels like closure. What a vindication and testament to talent and human spirit. Thanks so much Gary, sincerely. Listening to this is like coming home, finally.

[@streetcleaning711]

Music from a genius can heal like no other

[@ripvanwinkle9648]

Wish I had discovered him, then. I'm still broken -- and nothing seems capable of fixing it, now. But--hey--at least I can enjoy this incredible music.

[@tonycouse3092]

Copy that!!!!!

[@C-M-E]

WHo else is rediscovering Numan after decades not knowing he did THIS? Loving the sound here and a reinvention of self if you will.

[@SensaiMan]

He was years ahead of his time, and his music still sounds fantastic.

[@RUDI-UK]

This man never ages, he just gets better and better.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

Love Gary and DRI

[@inodog5784]

Can't believe I discovered him only today! He is amazing!! 😍

[@davidgriffiths5897]

honestly i wish i could discover him for the first time again ya know?

[@theludotheory]

This is my forty second year as a fan.😍 Although he never really went away, I'm so pleased he is having a sort of renaissance.🙂

[@auracovi4565]

Thats how I felt when I first came across his music I thought is was new but realized it was 5 yrs ago, he was definitely ahead of his time awesome music! ❤

[@mandmaq]

same. I just discovered him a few days ago and he is so amazing

[@prophez23]

Better late than never. If you love Gary then you might want to check out some Skinny Puppy or some of the solo projects from cEvin Key. Gary and cEvin are good friends and although their music is different there's still some similarities.

[@vicky_bats]

he's so underrated

[@Spookiness1]

Wiktoria Haleks Given that so many bands openly admit that they were inspired by Gary, I don't think he is underrated at all!

[@gerryjames9720]

Yes is so much not given his due! This man is my new never to reach goal.

[@DrCoots]

SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesstevens2362]

Wiktoria Haleks, I totally agree! He suffers from depression and social anxieties, and has had more than enough heartaches in his life. For him the world isn’t a bright and happy place, but he writes with the heart of someone who’s beaten the odds and thankful to be a survivor. I think there’s a lot of people that don’t appreciate his music because they want to keep their heads buried in the sand and pretend the world is full of rainbows and unicorns instead. For me, I can relate to his music. It resonates with me and helps me feel like I’m not alone.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

So true, James. He has had some tough times, yet still writes songs as powerful and beautiful as he ever has. I doubt Gary spends any time thinking about how others rate him. He figured out a long time ago that opinions others have are not the basis for living ones life. It's the music he cares about and the songs prove it.@@jamesstevens2362

[@stevemuskett7229]

Nearly 40 years on and yet again doesn't fail to deliver, take a bow sir you are a genius!

[@calixtomelo1213]

Gary é um artista simplesmente extraordinário. 💎❤️💎🤛

[@Xogroroth666]

40? No? Aspie, yes. Timeless, therefor, like me.

[@aryaamit]

A very accomplished human being !! and NO! he is not done yet..

[@ullaelhairach9493]

This is proceed from his wifes and family support. They are important part of his succesess. They are amazing together!

[@ericanderson5502]

Trent Reznor says he was a big influence on N.I.N. He said N.I.N. influenced him back. I can definitely see that.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Unfortunately he's allowed himself to become far too influenced by N.I.N. for my liking.

[@apimpnamedslickback7115]

I was like; Damn, it sounds so much line Nine inch nails.

[@matthewward4636]

Never a bad thing, he makes that industrial sound his own with the synth in there aswell, im a big fan of both 🙂

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Two of the greats,both humble,both an inspiration.

[@thorkill8246]

They know each other. They are peers and artists. They can drink coffee together and talk about what they think.. The similarity is more imagined than the work they put out.

[@ianmaskell2584]

One of the best albums ever. Gary rips it up. As a big NIN fan I love the metallic wall of noise with the cut through melodies.

[@RodolfoLopez-xg6mo]

Tottaly, colours of Reptile by nin

[@gps9715]

Sounds like NIN mixed with Depeche Mode imo. Two of my favorite bands. Good stuff!

[@ftboomer1]

Trent is the musical son of Gary.

[@maureenwagg5305]

I appreciate this man even more at 59 than I ever have as a teenager. He's brilliant.

[@chrischarles3380]

I totally agree. Cars and Are Friends Electric take me on a journey back to my high school days of a 14/15 boy just enjoying life here in the UK. Fast forward to a 57 year old man who recently read Gary’s’ (R)evolution book and simply couldn’t put it down. A fantastic read. A fantastic humble person who’s music and genius lyrics has certainly got me hooked once again as I was all those years ago. Brilliant indeed…..

[@dr_two9306]

Think about it, Hes 62 today and he looks like hes in his mid 30s, Absolute legend. Dad loved you since years ago.

[@brommservice]

The worlds most underated artist. I've listened to him since 1979. He's a genius for real.

[@Zynphonian]

been a fan for years and years ..... this bloke gets better as he gets older!!!

[@nathanhammond667]

Amen!!!

[@rasix6]

I was in 4th Grade when he came out with "Cars" he made his mark. He inspired me to start and sing in 5 bands. Love his newest album!

[@optimus1212]

Holy crap. I thought Gary was a washed up 80's guy. He still kicks major butt! Sounds incredible.

[@99certain45]

In the early 90s, his music was a complete trainwreck, but he changed his direction, and has slowly evolved into the great artist he is today.

[@jimhiscott2918]

No kidding there! I was 15 years old racing MX is southern cali when his cars song came out. I am now 53. I was floored to see he was back. I am amazed!

[@timetoski1234]

Check out last 5 albums!

[@rjnuzzi1648]

His inner soul never left us... listen to the beauty of this track... beautiful industrial celestial Numan

[@diskydoughnuts4322]

im only 14 and damn gary is a really good at what he does ive been a fan of his for about 8 months im going to one of his shows in about 3 months and im really exited.

[@sunilsolanki]

He's going to blow your mind young man...Enjoy every second.

[@t8283287]

Yes welcome to a wonderful world of synthesizer and industrial music....Gary Numan was indeed a pioneer and you have very good taste.

[@zoopchopzc4773]

Same ,which one r u going to ?

[@P8290970]

Welcome aboard, Enjoy his back catalogue, enjoy the gig...You will love every second of it.

[@Slendergirl89]

Aww enjoy! You have great taste 😊

[@wyshwood]

Very classy engineering, there, Mr Numan. Clean and dirty at the same time. Excellent arrangement.

[@tonysmith5072]

He should make dubstep it would blow minds. I know a lot of people aren't fans but I think he'd be amazing at it with his voice and sound design. This is kind of close with the heavy industrial feel

[@_MrPink_]

Love the fact that you recognize the trickery. This record is EPIC.

[@MarK-sf4gz]

It’s fucking amazing .. less is more!!!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Does this mean where was Gemma?

[@co.agmusic]

Very good vocals on this Track Very Dark

[@flesley1970]

Absolutely brilliant..roll on Frday❤

[@Psykox666]

I agree great vocals from Gary but the song itself has too much stuff at the same time. He really needs good producer that can honestly say what is working or not.

[@drsloanski]

Psykox666 I disagree. The production sounds great, and Ade Fenton had plenty of input. I love it.

[@Psykox666]

But it sounds the same on every track and thats not good well thats my opinion

[@drsloanski]

I suppose it's a matter of taste, but his early hit album The Pleasure Principle was a classic, and it almost sounded like variations of one continuous track. I think it's a style preference, not a lack of ability on the producer's part. For contrast, I listen to groups like the Super Furry Animals, where it can almost sound like a different group from track to track.

[@2pack387]

One of the best concerts I have ever been to, and I have been to A LOT!!! Gary is amazing!!!!!

[@CyberSpiral11235]

With every track I hear, I'm more impressed with Gary Numan. He's had this massive shift in style and tone and it is brilliant. I love this new sound, this new darkness that yet is a mature darkness; it's the kind of thing that develops after you've lived a couple of years and been kicked around a little by life. It feels authentic which is something sorely lacking in so many things these days. Thank goodness for Numan!

[@philoffhistree6700]

wow this and ruin have made my skin go all goose bumps so good

[@lolitre881]

It's a fantastic milestone. It is rare you have a whole album that draws you in on the first listen - every track is good x

[@Jsarson1976]

Lo Litre Every track is good. Not many albums I like from start to finish but this is an exception.

[@rosariapagano5919]

+Lo Litre You are so correct! long live Gary Numan

[@drmasoncarp59]

59 years old can always appreciate good rock .

[@highwaystar4931]

Ditto on both songs.

[@lornestelmach]

Amazing song ... and love the lyrics: I'm not a hero's story I'm not the traitor's lie I'm not every thing they said I'm not here to save you I'm not your confessor My sins alone could wake the dead But do you understand? Nothing can make it better Nothing can make it go away And do you understand That we are lost to ruin And this will be our end of day-ay-ays? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? And when my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? I have no forgiveness I have a heart of stone I am a lesson born of greed I am torn and twisted I am a broken bone I am what you've made of me But do you understand That none of this will matter? Nothing can take your pain away And do you understand That everything is shattered And so the whole world ends today-ay-ay? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? And when my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? And when my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind I will find you, dear God

[@UncleHappy5]

I'm not a hero's story I'm not a traitor's lie I'm not everything they said I'm not here to save you I'm not your confessor My sins alone can wake the dead But do you understand Nothing can make it better Nothing can make it go away And do you understand That we are lost to ruin And this will be your end of days And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? When my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? I have no forgiveness I have a heart of stone I am a lesson born of greed I am torn and twisted I am a broken bone I am what you made of me But do you understand That none of this will matter Nothing can take your pain away And do you understand That everything is shattered And so the whole world ends today And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? When my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God?

[@JacobG1985]

UncleHappy5 sounds pretty accurate to me! Good job!

[@steveh9846]

PureSplinterRising I am a lesson born of greed.

[@steveh9846]

PureSplinterRising My sins alone can wake the dead

[@sunuman4454]

Well done. Broken bone mayb.

[@steveh9846]

Su Numan sounds more like bone than bond but I couldn't be sure

[@super-awesome-funplanet3704]

Absolutely beautiful song.

[@spacepirate2185]

This album is gonna be amazing, loving every track so far.

[@regretto]

I honestly still can't believe how amazing the new record is. Maybe it was just right for my ear or something, but really, it's so good! Not a single song is a filler. The concept works and can be felt throughout. Soundscapes (many thanks to Mr. Fenton I suppose) are just colossal. Choruses, synths, oriental nuances are all delicious as fuck. Don't spit in my face, but I don't care much for Splinter (except for the lead single, which I do love very much), but this record may very well be on par with Tellekon in my personal humble top 5. Very glad to receive an album that great! P.S. Gary, please come to Russia!

[@jamesking981]

Its not you ear,I'm a 90's nu metal fan,this is amazing, I can't get my head round this it's Gary numan have I missed something?

[@MurphyTheLawyer]

+james king bit late of a response but try out Splinter C: If you imagine this as a sequel, Splinter is the first.

[@_MrPink_]

A very late reply, but I'm the same as you. The textures in this record are beyond perfect. Gary does EVERYTHING right. The mix of long, long ago and right now has never been done so well. No one can do this like Gary does. I need a cigarette every time I play this record.

[@jasonsphinx8461]

Black Star.

[@Aarghon]

I dont know why, but it sounds like a dark industrial when the saints go marchin in version haha... and it's awesome.

[@richardstrachan3849]

My favourite track from the Savage Album, pure brilliance.....

[@user-ss7gx5rw9u]

I feel privileged to have followed this man from the beginning ... Sure, he's had his bumps in the road musically but who hasn't ... This man opened the doors for so many it's impossible to count ... Pure genius.

[@howardmarriott2860]

This is actually reminiscent of the stuff we all loved back in 77-79. Gary you are my meaning.

[@sideswipe1261]

Gary if you read this, THANK YOU! I haven’t heard an album *this* good in years! This album will forever be stitched into me. I knew “Cars” and some remixes, I’d be lying if I said I have all of your music. I don’t- yet! This side of you is something your average Phish fan would throw out. But I’m not a Phish fan, and finding “Savage” has changed me. In good ways. I just wanted to thank you, Sir. I’ll be listening until my heart bursts through the Moon. I didn’t appreciate you and your music before “Savage”. Now I’ve another discography to complete. I bought the full CD, as soon as I could click to order it. Now I better realize what you started with; a few “bloops/bleeps/blooopa/bloops!” (Roughly translated), now I have your universe to explore! And bet your biscuits, I will! Thank you, Sir (and Persia, if she chooses music, will Rattle the Halls of Fools!) | a sidebar: | - I know she may not choose music , but she’s incredible- it doesn’t take much listening to know she has the Gift. I think it’s amazing that you brought her in- your voices together are very worth the ticket price (if only you had a gig in West Michigan to see live... I’ve seen the Cure, Depeche, Bowie- I hope to add youto the list! One advantage of more or less discovering you this deep into your career means I’ve many albums to go back to (and get you paid). No You = no music today. Rap, rock, current country (that’s a weird one to reconcile) - one would be here if you hadn’t found the emotion in the machines. Thank you, Sir!

[@homerogarza3060]

I can't believe I discovered him today and I've been a big fan of Nine Inch Nails since the 80s and I'm 39 years old

[@ImagineTheAI]

This song is perfect from start to finish. Not a single part I would skip

[@jpotts6648]

Absolutely class. I think hes getting better with age

[@r.l.seiber3879]

As always, fascinatingly expressive. I've been a follower since 1980. The perfect realisation of Futurism, there will never be a replacement for the authentic genius of Gary Numan. Futurist Sorcerer of Sound. ☢️

[@KatieoftheNight]

I just discovered Gary and my life is changed

[@Feuer75]

Classy. As always. I wish you would get the attention you once had and still deserve.

[@ArchonXzero]

It's probably more to do with not bowing to the labels running the smoke n mirror show

[@Jsarson1976]

Nova Nero it's better underground. We don't want no commercialised rubbish.

[@-belue-6697]

jonathan sarson...Kinda true! But who doesn't want everyone to know awesome music and NOT commercial rubbish?! 😎😎😎

[@mewzencovers2905]

God fucking damn, that's all I can say.

[@craigsonnenschein9855]

What a dramatic, beautiful song this is.

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Love this. Track. Never. Had. Any. Radio play😮

[@steventuck6881]

The future has returned!

[@michaeltdjojomitro3311]

Great... some Eighties Syn Sound Plus New Present Beat...Nice one

[@ealing456]

Definitely what I'm hearing too.

[@southcoastskate]

Telekon vibe to the whole song/video .... excellent.

[@runningterranova7054]

southcoastskate you think so

[@-belue-6697]

Michaelt Djojomitro...EXACTLY MATE! Gary never stops being Gary and having that unique GARY NUMAN sound and vibe, but he's often said that he's always looking towards the future of music and musical innovation...I mean, if we were there since the 80's, we saw this from the start...Always in another galaxy musically. 😎😍😎😍😎

[@kristensterzenback9852]

Loving this! I can't stop listening to every track I'm enthralled

[@erikua2010]

Same here! I had And it All Began with You on repeat this weekend. Now this track will be repeated. Loving every track so far.

[@stillinhere]

"my sins alone could wake the dead" is the best line

[@brianclark7719]

I remember my 12" vinyl of the pleasure principle. Loved him then, love him even more now. What a great new sound Gary!

[@user-ss7gx5rw9u]

This man's back catalogue is truly amazing, from his b sides to his slower stuff ... His ear for a melody is so underrated it's almost criminal ... Genius.

[@LibraAlive6]

God dam Gary Nyman at it again and Its FIREEEE!!!!

[@Timelord2001]

You know *why* Gary's music resonates with so many people? Not only the great skill, but something else. It's *honest.* This message of this song has been on the minds and lips of *many* of us, who've had to deal with the violent opposition of mediocre minds, just as Einstein told us about. I have encountered *many* such people, who really should've listened more, and oppressed a *whole* lot less.

Someone made the comment he’s the most underrated artist can’t be truer He is amazing seen the best and seen him many time. Absolutely blows you away. His concerts are tight well managed as far as sets. Can’t say enough especially about his last four albums. Incredible just incredible. People may say h you are just being a fan. No. This shits true he’s badass and getting better.
