"They say that I'm all over, I don't know..."

In 1988, #GaryNuman released his first album under the IRS Records label, and despite good reviews and an improvement on previous albums, Metal Rhythm didn't get him back in the charts.

Taking on a Robert Palmer-style hard rock meets electronic album, the LP featured the lead single 'New Anger', about his irritation over his critics at the time.

This episode delves into the making of the album, how it was made and how Gary feels about it now.
