Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Produit par Brian Eno, le premier album du groupe d'Akron ne ressemble à rien de connu. Dans la foulée du punk, les membres de Devo refusent toute idée de virtuosité. Ils jouent une musique minimaliste et mécanique loin de tout swing humain. L'optimisme naïf de la pop des années soixante est ridiculisé dans "Come Back Jonee" et une version robotique de "Satisfaction" ; le style de vie américain est raillé dans "Mongoloïd" : "Il portait un chapeau, il avait un boulot et il rapportait le bacon à la maison pour que personne ne sache qu'il était mongolien" ! L'enregistrement live présenté en complément du premier album permet de retrouver leurs deux autres tubes plus tardifs : "Girl You Want" et "Whip It". --Hubert Deshouse

D.E.V.O.,
By Klakkr (West Sussex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Q: Are We Not Men?//Devo Live (Audio CD)
Devo were pioneers in the 'New Wave' movement and the world is just that little bit better off for their existence.This CD combining 'Q: Are We Not Me? A: We are Devo' and 'Devo Live' is fantastic. As a starting point and introduction to their music I would recommend greatest hits compilation instead, but this CD is most defiantly worth getting. Not only do you get two albums on one CD but you get two of their best albums. 'Q: Are We Not Men...' is fantastic, worth buying alone for just 'Mongoloid', 'Jocko Homo' and the best Rolling Stones cover ever 'Satisfaction' - I shudder when I hear it (the video is awesome but no one ever shows it anymore). 'Devo Live' is a testament to the musicianship and proves just how fantastic they were, and since I never got to see them live (being that I was to young and also living on a different continent) this recording is just enough compensation. If you like post-punk, new wave, synth pop, college rock with hints of avant-garde then you probably have this already, if you don't why not?

A Breath Of Old Fresh Air,
By "gdatlanta" (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Q: Are We Not Men?//Devo Live (Audio CD)
For those who's experience with Devo is limited to their three hit tunes will be in for a great surprise when they discover this 'punk rock' anthem. In addition, we do get extra tracks including as was previously mentioned the best live Devo ever. I agree. Although it is a major contrast from the Q./A. album in terms of attitude and timbre.Growing up in NE Ohio [the land of futile tradition and complacency] around the time these guys were getting popular adds a little to the magic of this band for me. To think of these guys playing this stuff to those people at that time, well - it's amazing these guys didn't end up permanent residents of a hospital somewhere. At the time we all heard it we thought it was too unusual to be cool because NE Ohio wanted more and more and more derivative and stale metal rock, until one day we realized "we're all Devo!". This premiere recording by Devo is guitar-driven psychotic angst at its finest. To me, it's the sound of past, present and future rolled into one loud lump: like 50's music played by aliens on 70's musical equipment. This album set the precedent for the yet-to-be-seen punk variety of new wave and in retrospect, it's amazing how prophetic the band was. Go back 25 years and hear the future of rock. I challenge you, spuds.

Three great bonus songs plus two free albums!,
This review is from: Q: Are We Not Men?//Devo Live (Audio CD)
Not only do you get Devo's first real album with them singing "We Are Devo" in the song "Jocko Homo" and the only version of "Satisfaction" that tops the Rolling Stones, you also get three bonus songs tacked on the end. The extra tunes are very high-energy and are 3 of my favorite 5 Devo songs ("Wiggly World" and "I'm a Potato" are elsewhere). These same songs are on the two Hardcore Devo albums. Squeezed between this is the 1980 Freedom of Choice tour recording (which is available in long form from Rhino Handmade). Buy this CD and the other two double-album CD releases.
