"To be fair, Numan is cautiously optimistic about the fate of our planet-"I'm sure that somewhere there are people with a spine that will actually stand up," he admitted in a recent Salon interview-but Savage is a compelling cautionary tale of what may happen if we're too complacent to give a damn about future generations. It's also a stunningly sharp and diverse collection of songs from a living legend".

"... Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson hailed him as a pioneer of electronic industrial gloom. There's plenty of the latter on his 21st studio album. Guitars and keyboards crash like falling slabs of granite, percussion pulses throb and synths purr ominously. Numan's dystopian worldview hasn't been exactly cheered by climate change or leaving Britain for Los Angeles, only to find a Trumpocalypse".

"Thankfully, Savage's music fares much better than its cover. Numan's appropriation of Arabic musical patterns, textures and instruments can make for mildly uncomfortable listening at first, but on repeated plays these are the moments that really stand out. His decision to directly incorporate these less familiar (to the western ear) musical mores into his already alien-sounding style pays off".
