Did not care for this album.
Not my style - 1/5
Not my taste
Fuck this album
I could only listen to the first few songs before I noped out.
New wave is absolutely terrible
Not a fan.
Its okay not my style at all. Didnt like anything in this album
This album is a bigger disappointment than your dad going out for a gallon of milk and never coming home. While it wasn't quite as bad as Echo and the Bunnyman I somehow hate it just as much. Not a single track on this album has a highlight. No part of this album was memorable in anyway. This is what happens when a group gets Eno to do production and then rejects the majority of his ideas. Album should be titled "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Drivel"
no
I’m not sure if I’ve heard of Devo before. I did a bit of googling and it looks like the singer dresses similarly to the singer of TWRP, but I imagine that must be a coincidence. Anyway, let’s give this a listen! Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Praying Hands I’ve never been a fan of this era of punk, and Devo has unfortunately not changed this. The music just isn’t interesting enough to me, the vocals are too simple, and it generally struggles to keep my attention. Also, it does bear saying that there are some really strangely named tracks here. I don’t really want to name them specifically as it seems somewhat offensive, but you can look that up if you’re interested. Overall, this just wasn’t my kind of album.
I get why everyone hates this
cool... not sounds dumb
1/5. Boring and annoying. I listened to it three times just in case but could not latch onto anything worthwhile. Like it sounds like they are having fun but it’s just a worse talking heads. It’s not great honestly.
Properly, and I mean super properly, shite
I always wondered why people got really into Devo. This made me wonder why more. Half-ass sounding cover of Satisfaction. Some really high instrumental notes were cut off by vocals coming in. The yelling and stuttering syncopation were just not for me. Whole album sounds unenthusiastic and lacks emotion. Not insufferable, but not good.
I thought I may quite like this after the first track, but the rest is catastrophic. Also, some very questionable song titles. Rating: 1.5/5 Playlist track: Uncontrollable Urge Date listened: 11/03/23
Is this music?
Im sorry that i can not vote 0 star. It was terrible.
uh, this album was decidedly not for me. it was a struggle to finish listening. i like new wave and i like punk, but devo's album missed the mark completely for me. it was just weird--maybe too punky? the only devo song i know, "whip it," is much more synth than punk, so that abrupt difference didn't help either. i do try to find a positive thing in every album: the heavy guitar sound ran the album.
Not very good. Might have influenced a music genre but it was pretty hard to listen to. I would not willingly listen to a single song on this album again.
Bad
Now I know exactly why this album didn’t ring any bells. P.S. I’m very curious as to the justification for including this album in this list. Maybe someone got confused with the Albums to Die From list.
vermoeiend
Tja, wat moet je hier nu weer van vinden? Ik heb het geprobeerd in ieder geval...
Hier was ik al heel snel klaar mee. Verschrikkelijk!
This was something else, and not in a good way. The lyrics were terrible.
This album belonged in the 80s. I don’t mean that as a compliment. Truly the worst cover of (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction ever.
talking heads with an ironic adult daycare aesthetic. the sonic equivalent of drinking a cup of warm gravy: an absurd concept that's unpleasant to get through.
Uhhhhh. Why is this even a thing? “Satisfaction” was wayyyyy too forced and when you have to force satisfaction on someone, it just ain’t it. and Mongoloid made me vomit up my ☕️ Let’s just pretend this album doesn’t exist, k?
It's a feat to be as consistently obnoxious as this album. Judging people by their music taste is a stupid thing to do, but I genuinely don't understand why this would ever be on a list of "albums you must hear before you die".
so bad
I thought I would like this album but I did not. I think it's just where I am in life - the quirky paranoia new wave just isn't where I'm at right now. Full respect to Devo though - maybe when I was 18 it might have struck the right chord, I could easily imagine that. But I am now in the demographic where I'd rather listen to the episode of 99% Invisible that discusses the story behind the album art than listen to the album itself.
No words
Really couldn't get into this album at all
I gave up at the beginning of the sixth track, having finished only the first one. I'm really not sure what they tried to accomplish with this album, or why people would like it. I can see that not taking themselves seriously is part of their whole thing and also how the approach to music was something new and maybe even interesting at the time. Their approach to songwriting and structuring may have been influential for later new wave and alternativ bands. But it just sounds godawful. It seems entirely soulless and devoid of any emotion or really anything that makes me want to hear any of it.
Man, this album was obnoxious.
отстой полный
Agradable muy depeche o talking heads etc irrumpidor del pop, nada muy destacable
This has got to be the most repetitive albums of all time. It's like it was designed to make me irritated. They repeat the same 4 words per song and there is no progression in the backing track, only a constant tune played over and over and over again. Thankfully most songs are less than 3 minutes, a testament to how vapid this album is.
Getting to the end of this album was a labor. Will actively avoid listening to any part of this album ever again
Why would I listen to DEVO when I can listen to Oingo Boingo? Any track off of Dead Man's Party or Only A Lad is miles ahead of this. The only good DEVO songs are on Freedom Of Choice anyways.
nope
Nomás por destrozar I can't get no satisfaction.
La verdad es que dos estrellas ya se me haría mucho.
Rotete
1.5
CLASSIC.
