    Kicking off with I Am Dust, it hangs together marvellously as an album.

    In total, the rejuvenated, rockier Numan's finest hour. [Nov 2013, p.86]

    While Numan's work remains strictly sulky stuff destined to ruin any party, he proves he's not a robot at all on his most connectable, personal, and palpable album to date.

    It adds up to one of his most vital offerings since those heady days of old.

    One of his better efforts. [Nov 2013, p.75]

    Sadly, the thrust and thunder of "Love Hurt Bleed" and "We're the Unforgiven" resemble brutally overcooked Nine Inch Nails off-cuts, but for the most part Splinter is a solid and intriguing effort from an artist comfortable with his position in life. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.92]

    The carapace of violent noise that encases each song needs breaking before you can appreciate how fascinating it is musically.
