Simply Great Music4
Many people believe Gary numan's career began and ended with "Cars". If you base your opinion on the fickle top 40 charts - this is true; but Gary Numan has been putting out music non-stop to a rabid cult following since 1978. I am a proud member of this cult. His 1985 release, "The Fury" tends to be a "mixed bag" amongst his loyal legion of fans. Many claim it's too "pop" and lightweight, while others, like myself, think it's one of his better albums. Numan keeps his dark writing style in tact with signature tunes such as "Call Out The Dogs," "1. Call Out The Dogs," "Your Fascination," and "God Only Knows." A word of warning - this album is very keyboard heavy. If you're looking for something similar to his recent efforts ("Sacrifice" or "Exile"), this wouldn't be a good place to look. I like this album for its dark lyrics, dark theme, and Blade Runner association.

the fury, anger and frustration4
The fury is the best of the albums in his "ive lost my direction slightly" period. It has the moody feel of I assasin,but a more rock sound, it has the funky/ bluesy side of warriors,Its miles better than Metal rhythm, which was just a very samey album,and i cant play Metal Rhythm all the way through, with out feeling as if he was very disappointed after he had finished making it. Though he does have a dig at radio stations not playing his music on one of the tracks.Maybe aimed at the american market.Its better than Machine and Soul, which has more Machine in it , than Soul in it. If you liked I assasin, you ought to like this too. There are samples of bits of the soundtrack to blade runner in it,some of it could easily BE the sound track to blade runner, its very futuristic/moody sound would fit perfectly in blade runner.If you like numans darker/moody/anti god side, buy Exile and Sacrifice.If you didnt like Outland, his attempt at a "concept " album,good in places, but generally a bit "plastic and manufactured sounding" you will like The Fury

INDUSTRIAL POP/FUNK !!!!!!4
Another nice album by this master of the genre.Similar to Berserker in style only Berserker is a better listen.This is a weird mix of industrial machine drums and bass and funky elements,with female backing vocals and a certain ¨Prince¨ air to some of the songs.Heavily and very personal and processed vocals add the final touch.
What I found the most appealing,though,were the incredible bonus tracks (last 5 songs).Incredibly dark,obscure,sombre,moody industrial songs taken from singles released the same year as the album,which could have marked the direction he was to follow from his Sacrifice album on.Instead,he continued with a string of good albums in this and similar veins.
Advice: tthe bonus tracks alone are worth the price of the abum.
