Gary Numan: Splinter: Songs From A Broken Mind (2013)

For me, this was an impressive return-to-form. It gave Gary a new direction that I hope he follows for some time to come. With this record, he found a focus and something he could hang on to. Sure, it's an obvious homage to Nine Inch Nails, but it really works and I am happy that he made his way to this new dark industrial realm. Obviously, Numan was making his way to this sound slowly, having experimented with it on Dead Son Rising.

But, about the jacket image: are we to understand that he is Jack the Ripper, or something?
