Album Notes & Community Reviews

The twenty-first studio album from the synth-pop pioneer is a heavy, conceptual exploration of a post-apocalyptic Earth devastated by global warming. Re-teaming with long-time producer Ade Fenton, the tracking relies on aggressive industrial rock guitar textures, sweeping darkwave synthesizers, and Numan's iconic, angst-ridden vocals. The record debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, representing his highest chart position in nearly forty years.
