Free Music Notes for New Traditionalists
Free Music Review: A good album but doesn't stand out very well
Hit: 3 Stars
While this album has some definitely great tracks, I feel it overall is a bit aimless. The music gets a bit monotonous, and the lyrical content isn't as clever as before or after.
A few tracks are still some of my favorites in the DEVO studio release catalogue, like Through Being Cool and Race of Doom, but I feel for the most part that the tracks that were not released as singles or for other promotional advances are pretty dull, which really weighs the album down, not to mention it's their shortest studio album, I think, with the exception of the obscure 'Be Stiff' album.
The biggest thing that bothers me about this one though is how DEVO seem more interested in sex than self-induced idiocy for which they are best known. Lyrically this album is unfocused, and while that's usually pretty okay for most musicians (let's face it, music is the biggest priority in music, not words) but DEVO has always been an intelligent post-modern band, but some of these songs make them feel pretty out-dated and tacky.
The three extra tracks on this edition are all pretty interesting, and in my opinion would've really helped the album along had they been part of it originally, but at least now we can hear them.
And even while I consider this DEVO album one of my least favorites, it's still really good (I just can't get into most of it), but the best of this album can be found on their Greatest Hits and Misses so if you have/want those probably don't bother with this unless you really love DEVO.
