'I Can't Stop' is a song by English musician Gary Numan, released in 1986 as the second single from his eighth studio album Strange Charm. In November 2007, Numan confirmed via his website that work on a new album, with the working title of Splinter, would be under way throughout 2008, after finishing an alternate version ofJagged (called Jagged Edge) and the CD of unreleased songs from his previous three albums (confirmed to be titled Dead Son Rising on 1 December 2008 via official mailing list message). The front cover of Jagged Edge should already be a good indication of what to expect, because it shows no attempt at designing anything - just Numan sticking his nose up.
The remix versions of Numan's albums often turn out to be the best of his work. Jagged Edge ruined what ever appreciation I had for (3 songs on) Jagged.

Alot of the songs had potential but needed to be reworked so that they stood out from one another.
