The four hundred and fifty-second album: #452 Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle
We've got an album here that's both predictable in what it covers - Numan's style is one I've covered in the reviews of his songs before - but also gives it variety while staying recognisable. The new wave melodies differ between the songs, but the underlying drum beat is always there and always feels the same, while there isn't much variety in his vocals. That works to create the atmosphere and feeling though, creating a strong throughline that's assuring in its own way.
