The Pleasure Principle
Gary Numan
Airlane - pretty boring intro
Metal - fine
Complex - cool
Films - 🥉
M.E. - 🥈, cool I wish the whole album sounded more like this
Tracks - fine
Observer - fine
Conversation - fine
Cars - 🥇, big single for reason I guess
Engineers - bit too loopy
Random - loopy interlude is fine unless it goes into another long loopy interlude
Oceans - said long loopy interlude
Asylum - chrono trigger boss music is cool but what is it doing on an album with songs like cars
Overall - 2/2.5, obviously super influential and has a lot of cool stuff going on, but I think the cool factor wears off, wouldn’t really go back to anything on it but Gary seems cool enough and the fact everything is electronic makes the album in a concept cooler than the music
