Gary Numan - Warriors mp3 download

Kaim

A lot of Numan fans seem torn about this album; I myself am in a very shaky middle ground, I've never been able to make my mind up on whether simply casting it off as a weak link or as some misunderstood experiment. The first track, Warriors, sort of brings up all of the album's strengths and weaknesses: it's long and somewhat meandering, not really sure what it should be, and while being fairly catchy and the lyrics are interesting, I've never really understood exactly what Numan wants me to make out of the song. Each of the rest of the album's songs, including the b-sides, give me that, or a similar, feeling. The only two tracks that I've ever been decided on, and genuinely enjoyed, would be My Centurion and the b-side Poetry And Power, which many other fans have regarded as among the worst pieces here.I think it's the execution of these tracks that confound my ears. I've heard most of these songs live on many various occasions, and I've preferred those recordings far more than the original studio mixes, even if the production on either don't differ greatly, thus the execution of it. I sort of think of Numan's questionable costuming during this album's phase that kind of coincides with the contradicting style of the music, wishing to say one thing, but then not quite saying it clearly.
