Far too clever. Far too catchy. Too many flowerpots on heads, not enough mascara. Too much devo-lution, not enough evolution. Around the time of 1984's sixth album Shout, Mark Mothersbaugh's brittle, sharp anti-Americana, Captain Beefheart and Banana Splits-influenced quintet had degenerated into quirky self-parody. (Although some might claim they'd always been that.) Certainly, Devo weren't adverse to introducing elements of S&M into the pop charts ("Whip It"). Their debut single discussed Darwinism, Ted Browning's "Freaks" and the consumer society ("Jocko Homo"). The follow-up jerkily jumped up and down upon 15 years of popular culture ("Satisfaction"). Devo could never be accused of being boring. 1982's wilfully strange "Peek-A-Boo" was a precise, ordered, electro-groove, and their later groovalicious covers of "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini" (from Revenge Of The Nerds II) and Jimi Hendrix have to be heard to be believed. As Pioneers Who Got Scalped shows, Devo were a fine, fine band. --Everett TrueGenre: Indie & AlternativeArtist: DevoNo Of Discs: 2Record Label: WarnerEAN: 0081227596729 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
