Gary Nu male

what does nu mean?

Numan went from being one of the greatest synthpop artists to being a decent, respectable industrial rock artist. Not a bad way to be. And if the "alt right" retards don't like him, that only says good things about him.

Numan managed to rebuild his career from scratch after his low point in the 80's. Kudos to him for that.

>literally autistic

Gary Numan stunted on the whole british industrial/synth pop scene.
Nobody had seen any real success (Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The Human League at that point) and nobody seemed to like alienated synth sound. Then Gary was doing Cars on the telie and everything changed. Depeche Mode came about. The Human League released Dare. Yaz happened. Synth pop was established.

Has anyone ever had a better debut album than him?

The Pleasure Principle is literally a god tier album, what a great way to start off your music career

You do realize that Tubeway Army is technically his debut album.

>>69348366
Tubeway Army and Replicas were released before Pleasure Principle.

It was a great way to get into the mainstream however. In that sense of the word debut

Of course he had more success than those people. He was making pop music. What Cabaret Voltaire and TG were doing was really closer to post-punk groups like Joy Division and The Pop Group than it was to Gary Numan. Numan's contemporaries were people like Visage and Ultravox. The greatest thing Cabaret ever did was Red Mecca, but how the hell do you market that to a pop audience?
Gary had nothing to do with industrial until the 90s when he followed Depeche Mode's lead in going darker, and got encouragement from Trent Reznor.
On a broader scale, you can't blame new romantic for blocking industrial's success in the pop market. The early industrial groups didn't even want pop success, they were all transgressive artists. The Pop market wasn't even a thought until European groups like Front 242 decided to throw on a dance beat.
