Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars blew me away.......2006-11-30

I never had this album back in the day but it is a nice combination of 1978, 1979, and their First Album. Incredibly powerful guitar work from when Numan was still a Punk.

5 out of 5 stars WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH !!!!!!.......2005-10-20

Let's get some fact straight.An experienced punk rocker won't find this ¨punkier stuff¨ as other reviewers have.Maybe a very weird form of punk-metal ? This is,nonetheless,rawer and excrutiatingly HEAVY,pre
synths,early Numan material.These aren't songs s.body
dug out and took out of a secret vault,proof to it is I have the same album on vinyl ,dated 1984.The additional value here
are the bonus tracks-which almost duplicate the original number-and the remastering,which is almost welcome,the
original sound being Ok anyway.These songs retain the robotic vocals,staccatto guitars and dry rythmic section which are so tipically Numan,with the addition of such strong,fierce playing no metalhead will be dissapointed.The accompaning booklet has much more one could ask for,and certainly makes for a heavier box indeed.I really appreciate this kind of generosity from a record label.
SIMPLY GORGEOUS.

5 out of 5 stars must-have masterpiece.......2003-11-09

Recent praise has come to Numan from the M.Manson and NIN camps for his technovibe synth stuff. However, in-the-know hardcore punkers know Numan's pioneering mastery of brutally crunchy punk metal. These songs predate the now-tame semi-distorted Judas Priest and Quiet Riot early 80's metal, and surpass that with advanced corrosive guitar violence that did not reach popularity until SLAYER and METALLICA. You heard me ! Songs like Numan's Basic J would have stood out as the "the really heavy punk one" amongst Metallica's Kill Em All record. Raw, punky, harsh seedy downtown lyrics with earnest artistic freshness. The band is rough but punchy and full of awsome riffs and hooks. A must-have for any fans of Numan, punk, metal.

5 out of 5 stars Is Numan punk?! Great stuff!.......2003-01-09

In the liner notes, Gary says, as if to apologize to the techno fans, "I wrote the 'punky' songs with the sole intention of obtaining a recording contract".....but Gary, please don't deride this stuff, for it RULES! Brilliant songs, with almost all strong, awesome trax like That's Too Bad, Bombers, My Shadow in Vain, Something's in the House, Mean Street, Crime of Passion, Life Machine (poignant song with original subject matter), Basic J., Fadeout 1930, etc. etc. This is a must-have gem for fans of old-school '70s glam/punk, yeah! Get it and you won't be sorry!
