Recorded as part of the 2000 Pure tour, Scarred marks Gary Numan's 25th year as a recording artist. He's certainly been through a lot since Tubeway Army put out That's Too Bad in 1978. Initially hailed as the king of electro, he fell spectacularly from grace then, years later, having been cited as an influence by everyone from Afrika Bambaataa to Trent Reznor, managed to claw his way back up the ladder. Like Pure, Scarred is heavier than Numan's early material; clattering drums, pounding dance beats, grinding samples, filthy guitar, and menacing bass lend it an industrial roar. But Numan isn't limited to an all-out attack. "Little Invitro" is fraught and delicate before rising to its grungy crescendo, while "Dance" is sweet and forlorn. Of course, the hits are here, too, though "Cars" is delivered so jauntily it loses its sense of melancholic isolation. But that's a minor disappointment given the otherwise high quality of this electro feast. --Dominic Wills

I love you Johnette... (long time fan).
This CD is awesome.......2007-06-15
Raw and open, surprising!!.......2007-06-10
their music over the years. I found this on Amazon and went to her website
to listen to the complete tracks and I've been really surprised at just
how amazing this collection is. The sound, vocals, writing all have
an edge you don't hear anymore so it stands out. Its different than
the Concrete Blonde days but you can't deny its got some great melodies
and off the wall vocal treaments and wide open raw lyrics. It rocks hard
in places and the acoustic guitar weaves its way around some great grooves. This is one of the best offerings this year so far and it would
be nice to see Johnette and these songs out on the road. so many favorites
but I do love the songs "My Diane", and the Coldplay cover "The Scientist",
"Amazing", the first single, & "Crazy Tonight", "Everthing for everyone".

Good but not comparable to the debut album.......2001-04-06
One of THE definnitive Skinhead albums.......2001-01-24
Final Part of The Classic Tatts Trilogy.......2000-06-04
This album was probably The Tatt's most innovative work, but paradoxically, also stayed closest to the bands' roots of the early Stones, Kinks and Chuck Berry.
It's got the huge wall of sound with clever hooks and searing vocals laid over the top by Angry Anderson but its probably a bit brighter and flashier than the preceeding works - but no less brutal in delivery. The title track lays the foundations first up with an opening axe attack that floors you. We Can't Be Beaten is truly anthemic and an unashamedly honest if you've ever seen this band live.
Of the remaining tracks, Branded and the thuggish Who's Got The Cash are the standouts. In short, the album kicks arse and in true Australian style does not bother with any of the niceties - it just rips, tears and lacerates or as we put it in Oz: it's got mongrel.
This was the last album before Rose Tattoo's classic line-up fell apart (even though Mick Cocks had already left by this stage) and represented the last of the classic Rose Tattoo sound as all other subsequent releases were commercially compromised (even though there are some good songs still to be found on these later albums).
Rose Tattoo should have been as huge as AC/DC but bad luck and internal troubles dogged the band just when they were breaking in the UK in 1981.
Ironically, their lack of success makes their early albums all the more treasurable.

Heavy Metal in the 80s was heavy metal music at its best!.......2007-05-13
Heavy Metal in the 80s was heavy metal music at its best! Scarred for Life by Obsession was one of the best metal albums for me during the 80s and up to now! along with Warrior - Fighting for the Earth, King Diamond -The Best of King Diamond, Mercyful Fate - The Best of Mercyful Fate, Accept - Metal Heart, Tobruk - Wild on the Run, Picture - Heavy Metal Ears, Riot - Live and Coney Hatch - Friction. These are underrated and overlooked albums that are worth collecting.
Back to Scarred for Life, the album title alone is a killer! It will break your skull and split your eardrums! Listen also to Bang `Em Till They Bleed, lots of guitar riffs by Art Maco and Bruce Vitale in this song. Mike Vescera on vocals was the right guy for metal assault vocals. Matt Karagus on bass and Jay Mezias on drums.
Now if you're on line with Amazon.com, place your order and you'll thank me later after hearing this album!

A good live document..........2005-04-26
"Scarred" captures (with fine production) Gary in front of a home-nation crowd performing well over an hour of his strongest material. Classic tracks like "Cars" and "Down in the Park" weave a rather dire mood next to lesser known classics such as "Pure" and "Me, I Disconnect From You". Gary's still got it...and while the record may be a bit of a chore at it's chosen length...no fan will go away dissapointed.
Let's hope that this isn't the typical one-off comeback record as Gary still seems to have some life in that strange techno-goth world of his. I fully support the purchase and this record and I think that all of those who also enjoy his work would as well.
Kudos...
Smokin' Live Set from Gary Numan.......2004-04-29
"Scarred" (2 CDs, 21 tracks, 97 min.) brings the complete London Brixton Academy show from October 2000. The set starts off with a sizzling "Pure". While it is followed by the familiar "Me I Disconnect From You", the majority of the songs after that focus on the Pure album, with gems like "Rip", "I Can't Breathe", "Prayer for the Unborn" and "Listen To My Voice", but also a great "Angel Wars" (from the Exile album). "Down in the Park" is recast and sounds greater than ever, as is "Replicas" (check out that stomping intro!). The obligatory "Cars" is here of course, but it truly is not one of the better songs on here. Numan has moved on from "Cars" and he is (and we are) the better for it. The 'new' Gary Numan brings us an overall sound that's somewhere in between of NIN's industrial rock and Depeche Mode era-"Songs of Faith and Devotion" (another synth band that discovered guitars, but Numan brings yet more guitars), and it just works great. It's telling that the CD cover shows Numan with a guitar, as if to convery that this is not the same ol', same ol'.
I also have the 1979 "Living Ornaments" live album of Gary Numan, and both that album and "Scarred" show Gary Numan at his very best. If you can accept the fact that 21 years after "Living Ornaments" Numan is not just about "Cars", you are in for a treat. Strongly recommended!
Eagle flies high.......2004-04-21
This dazzling, majestic live album is Gary Numan at his best, playing old stuff, as well as new, and reminding the music world how to best coalesce guitars and drums with electronics.
Strong song-writing, well-produced live sounds and masterful showmanship make this one a must!
