MaxDec 4, 2009Pure 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!

EsaGSep 13, 2006I found Pure after Jagged, and man, am I just thrilled. This is best what has happened in the music world since NiN's Fragile.

TimPDec 16, 2005Numan'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.

StevieK.Farnaby(TheCompanyUK2001)Oct 9, 2004A phenominal album to say the least. Pure has a particularly ecclectic style. It goes from dark, atmospheric and brooding, through aggresive and angry, to emotional and heart-rending. A big-time recommend from me, Pure stands as a ground-breaking roller-coaster ride of an album.

GregMar 30, 2004This is awesome, beyond awesome. Just what makes this album so great is the its relevance to a disillusioned generation like ours. Powerful lyrics, genius use of synth and and Distortion guitars. From one musician to another - Numan you are a genius your creativity is an inspiration to everyone

frank-edouardwNov 25, 2003the best gary numan album ever

MarcelWMar 3, 2003A group of songs so sweepingly powerful and thoughtful. The fall from grace has never been so intimately explored. The focus is sharp and the writing is clear. Gary Numan has progressed and folded music many times as to be called master

LozB.Jun 24, 2002Numan makes a great return to form, by adding Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson to his dark techno to give us a glimpse of hell itself. A slightly faltering side 2, but an album of real character.

DonH.Jun 1, 2002Forget anything you know about Gary Numan - this album stands on its own two feet. One of the darkest malevolent albums since Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - play it very very loud.

KeithPSep 19, 2001Gary is totally underestimated. The public dont realise what riviting music he produces.

Pure is Gary Numan's richest, most powerful and most aggressive work in years.
-
SelectNuman is now crafting music that sounds identical to his disciples. [Nov 2000, p.118]

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
