Gary Numan, Dead Son Rising. Album Review.

Originally published by L.S.Media, September 21st 2011.

They say that form is temporary and that class is permanent, in Gary Numan’s case, it’s nailed down with a thousand six foot poles, a few million staples and an industrial size pack of Gaffer tape!

Ever since he arrived on the scene as part of the Tubeway Army in the late 70’s and thereafter on his own, he has continued to release album after album of scintillating music that defies ignorance of the industrial music and searing pop synths, in fact he welcomes it with open arms and embraces it with passion. Dead Son Rising is no exception, filled to the rafters with sounds that other bands would not even consider placing down for eternity.
