Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo
Devo1: Uncontrollable Urge has a strong intro, sounds a lot like Men Without Hats. Inspiration maybe? 8/10 not quite playlist worthy. 2: A really great stones cover. I like the chill aspect and that they added a lot without taking away from the original. 9/10 Cover, playlist worthy 3: Really synthy intro on the third, Praying Hands. Men Without Hat's style is super similar to this. I like it, 8.5/10 playlist worthy. 4: So far, and listening to the intro of Space Junk, I like all of the intros but the main parts aren't cutting it for me. Nice riff, 8/10. 5: Mongoloid is good, pretty groovy, and tells a good theme. 9/10 Worthy. 6: I can tell they're having fun with Jocko Homo, and it's cool, just not something I would actively listen to. 6/10. 7: Too Much Paranoias is pretty good, but it had a filler feel to me even tho they were changing some sounds around. 8/10. 8: I LOVE the intro on this Gut Feeling / Slap Your Mammy. This was good all around, and it really sped up towards the end. Def the best 9/10 so far. 9: Come Back Jonee is good, and pretty groovy. Not too many thoughts on this one. 9/10 (They referenced Johnny B. Goode so that's at least .5 more) 10: Funny one, but I can't bring myself to give it an 8. 7.5/10 11: Shrivel up was an interesting end to the album. Leaving us with the fact that we all age? I didn't really notice too many related themes to that in the album, but it's cool. 8.5/10 song. In all, nice intros but felt like too many songs weren't serious enough. Definitely their style, 7/10 album.
