    The songs are often guilty of bloated bombast, but Numan retains an impressive command of cinematic melodrama and richly layered sonic detail. [Jul 2021, p.33]

    Numan’s consistency is also his biggest downfall. There’s simply no reason to listen to Intruder if you’ve heard any of the albums he’s released in the past decade, because it’s virtually identical to his previous works.

"Intruder" puts the spotlight on humanity as we stand before the living entity we call Earth. Numan gives our planet a voice to express her dark feelings of anger, sorrow, and disgust with humanity. Numan diffuses some of that darkness with the tattered remnants of what was once called hope. Lyrically and musically the album is near flawless. Both are rich, layered, vibrant and, let's face it, dark and deliciously pure Numan. Numan has cemented his dominance atop the electronic music genre and rightfully so.
