Intruder is the twenty-first studio album by English musician Gary Numan, released on 21 May 2021 by BMG and The End. It entered UK Albums Chart at number two, on 28 May 2021.[1]

Reception[]

Paste magazine said "the bracing new climate-change-conscious Intruder—is sketching clear charcoal renderings of the charnel house that awaits us".[2] Songwriter Universe said the album is "an ambitious, compelling collection of songs with a unifying theme".[3] Riff Magazine said the album is "a science fiction soundtrack about the impending climate catastrophe that doesn't need a movie to get its urgent point across."[4]

Intruder entered the UK album chart at number two, on 28 May 2021,[1] but it dropped to number sixty-three the following week[5] and dropped off the chart after that.[6]
