Free Music Notes for Q: Are We Not Men
Free Music Review: Either you hate it, or you're like me
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't tell you how many of my freinds hate this album. They just don't know what they're talking about. Dispite being put into the new-wave or punk categories, Devo sound really nothing like any other band in the genre. Their electronic sound and Zappa-like satire set them off from their peers. They also pretty much invented the "music video", which was more of a curse than a blessing, but they were innovaters nonetheless. The cover of "Satisfaction" is at least ten times better than the original, and the commentary of "Jocko Homo" is still briliant. The best new-wave album.Free Music Review: Genius
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't get over how fresh and innovative this stuff sounds almost 30 years later. Mothersbaugh's sensibility and Eno's brilliant production make this a work that just doesn't get old.
If you were around when it first came out, this will probably take you back to that time in the late 70s when it felt like our pop culture was exploding with something so vital that it was going to change the world forever. And maybe it did. So much so that if you're coming to it for the first time years later, you're in for a treat that's really timeless.
Free Music Review: And an extra star for good behavior.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm convinced that this album is encoded somewhere in human DNA, perhaps entwined with our monkey genes. This was one of the most influential albums of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. [I wrote this review in the previous century. And in this century, it seems like it's even more influential now. How many cover bands are playing these songs????!!! Devo toured in '05, playing almost the complete playlist from Are We Not Men. Ok. The spud boys are bucking for retirement and need the cash. But the staying power of this one quirky album is truly amazing.]Free Music Review: Devo - 'Are We Not Men?We Are Devo!' (Warner Brothers)
Hit: 5 Stars
Stunning 1978 debut effort by these new wave mutants.I remember seeing the guys play two numbers on the old Saturday Night Live tv show,including their weird cover of the Stone's "Satisfaction" and I just didn't know what to think.I never expected these guys to last as long as they have.All I know is that whenever I listen to this CD,I let it play all the way through.Other squirmable/dancable tunes are "Uncontrollable Urge","Mongoloid",the space age misfit song "Jocko Homo" and "Shrivel Up".A new wave classic.Highly recommended.Free Music Review: Great performance by robotic intelligence
Hit: 5 Stars
OOooh ,yeah! Uncontrollable urge is surging.Every time I listen to this CD,I cannot help giggling over those guys who have fire inside them with all their might.They severely criticize and sing abot the modern civilization and corruption of our society.That is, they have a cool perspective towards our way of living.
The sound they use is more punkish and violent and more intelligent with a distorted and twisted edge.They always whip our ears with their avant-garde taste futuristic sound texture.
