Studio Album #21 from Gary Numan, who seems to be enjoying a great period of productivity at the moment, with 'Intruder' being his fourth album in ten years being released on 21st May 2021. In the first week of release it hit the #2 spot on the UK Album Chart (just like his previous album 'Savage (Songs from a Broken World'.
The album is released in three Limited Edition Double Vinyl sets (with two extra tracks), in Gold, Silver and Red. It's also released as a Picture Disc (also with the two extra tracks).
There's a Deluxe CD Edition (with one extra track...not very Deluxe then!), Download and even a Cassette Version (they are really making a comeback!).
What of the music? A taster to the release was the Official Video for 'Intruder'
Response to the album from the Music Critics has generally been quite warm. I had to laugh at Gary Ryan of the NME when he said, "Numan’s late-career glow-up continues apace with ‘Intruder’. Sounding like Greta Thunberg in the local goth-disco", but he did go on to say, "This record’s author has always sounded slightly out of time...with ‘Intruder’, he’s chiming with the times – and sounding thrillingly relevant in the process."
