Re: DEVO .Brilliant ,or just strange ?

Thanks MP I like it!!

They're coming to my area in July so hopefully I could make it

Sweeeet! The new CD came out right under my nose...

I had no idea. I hope I get a chance to see them also. I never had and I trust that it would be a great time!! As long as Gates Of Steel and Beautiful World are in the set...the rest is pie!!

Here they are this year doing Beautiful world and Gates of Steel...they sound better than ever.

HELL YEAH!!!​

Re: DEVO .Brilliant ,or just strange ?

Whether brilliant, strange or a combination of the two, Devo was just a little too quirky for my tastes for me to be a full-time "Spud Head", but I do like some of their music.

"Satisfaction" and "Secret Agent Man" are fun covers, but "Mongoloid" and "Gates Of Steel" are my two favorite songs of theirs.

Dave78 fun fact: my neighbor married their original drummer after the band moved out here from Akron.

Yep. Mark Mothersbough has had a production company out here in Los Angeles for years, writing and producing music for the entertainment industry.

As someone who is overly stodgy and conservative with music for the typical 30-year old, I will say "strange."

Strange to me is somebody like the Residents. At its heart, DEVO is a pure rock and roll band. I can't imagine anyone at least not enjoying something they did, particularly the early stuff.

Re: DEVO .Brilliant ,or just strange ?

I looove me some DEVO! Brilliant for me, but after several albums they weren't able to execute as well. I'll have to check out the new album though!
Aside from Uncontrollable Urge and Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA (my two favorite DEVO tracks) here are a couple more of my favorites:







and I love the DEVO inspired parody "Dare to be Stupid" by Weird Al... Toaster Guitar ftw! LOL!!!

Re: DEVO .Brilliant ,or just strange ?

^^^ All good songs Kuaizi, and you got CLOCKOUT in there

Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA and Gates Of Steel are my two favorite DEVO songs hands down but I have all their stuff...well all the main titles.

The new CD isn't bad at all but the old stuff, like the first 4 albums haven't been topped.

The Devo Corporate Anthem is a real stirring little instrumental, and I love the song Beautiful World.
