Either that or anyone could just get Replicas instead - I think it's a pretty great album. I got a handful of his albums five-odd years ago as per a mate recommending them, and it's about the only one I've listened to more than once.

There's no way in hell I'd choose him over Bowie.

Don't worry guys, I would never tell Bowie what you really think of him. Anyway, who knows what I remember. My point was..

Duga said Bowie has something to offer everybody. For me - all I can think of that he can offer is synthy pop from the late 70s with a bit of a dark edge to it. And Numan already does that enough for me. I don't know,they both just sort of sound the same to me but I like Numan more (don't even listen to him much, either).

So, what cave do you live in?

It's a dark cave where I and everybody I have ever known sits chained to a surface in a way that forces us to face a blank wall.

On this wall is projected a shadow cast by a puppet made in the image of David Bowie. It was so convincing that, for a while, I believed that Bowie was the only real thing when it comes to late-70s dark new wave pop music.

But I broke free, went outside and found Gary Numan.

No, I know he made lots of different stuff over the decades - I only mentioned the music he made that I have any interest in at all in the first place: darkish 70s synth pop.

+500 points for surprise literary reference.

Rehab - Welcome Home (2010)

It's not bad but it's not engaging at all. All the songs kind of sound the same at a mid-tempo with no bite at all, on the 9th track they decided to include a solo, but it's so boring and unimportant I think it actually detracts from the song as a whole. This is what they chose to follow up Graffiti The World with?

Can't say I care for Nada Surf''s most recent (proper non-covers) album.
