'Jagged' Press Reviews

'Numan is still as vital as ever . . . the Godfather is back and he's here to stay.'
Kerrang

'The massive synths and guitars are stacked up like some Babelesque tower constructed from breezeblocks . . . it is supremely confident and the innovator of the late '70s never sounds like he's having to play catch-up.'
Mojo

Jagged is a shudder-fest of consistent quality, with a dash of Eastern promise.
Q Magazine

'If 2000's Pure album brought Numan back into focus, then Jagged gives his music fresh shape and vitality.'
Metal Hammer

'A must for those who like their music dark and heavy.'
The Sun

''Without Gary Numan there would be no industrial scene. Jagged is his latest offering and is a million times more haunting than anything this modern-day scene has to offer. Each track is a dark and brooding slab of gothic beauty with Gary Numan proving to the likes of Manson and co once and for all who the daddy really is.'
Big Cheese

'Jagged tells reflective stories of loss, sorrow and regret through dark, creeping rhythms that lurk beneath sheets of guitar, tempered by heady, almost suffocating, synths. The result is a bleak emotional holocaust of an album, evidencing the work of a truly precious artist whose continuing creativity should be cherished.'
Rocksound

'Gary Numan now makes more sense than he did as a confused young pop droid. Endorsements from post-Goth noiseniks such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson have given Numan a new focus. 'Haunted' sounds like Led Zeppelins 'Kashmir' reinvented for distant dystopian futures. On 'Halo' and 'Pressure', beefed-up synths anchor their creators newfound grasp of rock dynamics.'
The Times

'Jagged is aggressive and dark, yet doesn't forget to pack the tunes too.'
Record Collector

'Powerful electronic rock . . . a dense, moody collection, it can be thunderous one moment and ethereal the next, forbidding and mysterious, grinding and soaring.'
Classic Rock

'This is suitably atmospheric and rousing stuff, close in feel to the urban nightmare of 'Down In The Park' . . . One can only hope that this will mark a complete critical re-evaluation of such as visionary and misunderstood figure.'
Zero Magazine

'The beats are fresh, the incidental effects impact nicely and there's more energy here than there should be from someone who has been through the music industry mill for the last quarter of a century plus.'
