"Sacrifice has now become legendary amongst fans as the album that marked Numan's confident return to his 'roots' as progenitor of dark, groove orientated electronic music. With aggressive sampled sounds, storming break beats, mantric vocals and ethereal piano/synth lines which display with ease his skill and ear for an often startling melody. This album, swathed in black and silver, also saw the further reintroduction of the original Tubeway Army guitar sound; booming power chords and tight rhythm chops. Highlights include the sublime 'Deadliner'. A narrative about a drug induced real life nightmare is relayed over a ream of loops and a striking synth/piano melody which resonates with all the panache of a deeply sophisticated horror film score. 'A Question of Faith' is an intensely aggressive and uncompromising attack on blind belief which pounds the ears with its mechanical groove . The general atmosphere is one of burgeoning, other worldy atmospherics (in particular the distinctively trippy 'Bleed') brought to ground shaking earth by an impressive rhythmic style. Final track, 'The Seed of A Lie' is a genuinely affecting and powerful lament which again displays Numan's oblique but often fascinating story telling abilities. This is undoubtedly one of the man's finest- an efficient, well packaged monolith of an album that banished the insecurities of his mid eighties output." -- Matthew M T Ibbs, for musicfolio.com, 4/03Read full review
