PopMatters

Pure is Gary Numan's richest, most powerful and most aggressive work in years.

Select

Numan is now crafting music that sounds identical to his disciples. [Nov 2000, p.118]

All Music Guide

One has to give credit to an '80s new wave musician who can adapt and create contemporary-sounding music.... The album can comfortably sit alongside Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails on store shelves. Pure doesn't drive like the industrialized adrenaline rush that is, say, Orgy, but the tracks' lingering and creepy pace leaves behind a different kind of impact -- it's more haunting than relentless

Q Magazine

A heavyweight, goth-rock death trip, awash with mangled guitars and horror-film atmospherics. [Nov. 2000, p.113]

Max gave it a10:
Pure is an outstanding electronic fest... As always melodic - but at the same time pent up and explosive power underlies the feel... Gary is obviously enjoying (?) himself making this music and pouring out his soul with his lyrics... I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews - get this CD! Just saw Gazza in concert (Nov 09) and he was fantastic!

John B gave it a10:
Quite simply one of the best albums ever , not just one of Gary Numan`s best. If this doesn't get inside you and do all sorts of things to your emotions then there is no hope for you ! But it does and it it will, you must listen to it to experience so much. I have been not just a Gary Numan fan since the seventies but also i am proud of a large and varied music collection built up over that time. This is right up there with the very best.

Esa G gave it a10:
I found Pure after Jagged, and man, am I just thrilled. This is best what has happened in the music world since NiN's Fragile.

Tim P gave it a9:
Numan's best CD in years. Exile was a good warm-up for PURE. I'm seriously pumped for what the next one will sound like....Gary is ever re-inventing.

Now it's Numan, somethimes scarred, hard, heavy and beautiful. Screams and heavy guitars...

Alan H gave it a10:
Dark, Deep and Haunting a brilliant piece of work that even his critics have praised
