Devo – New Traditionalists (no FCCs, but #4 & 5 have sexual innuendo that may indicate why there’s an advisory sticker)
Reviewed by “Uncle Steve”
Re-issue of the classic Devo record, with several of Devo’s seminal songs. Large doses of Devo’s sense of humor & dissonant synth lines (both in chords & the timbre of the synths).
Recommended: 1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 16
The tracks all sound very similar, except #11 is a spoken word (instead of singing) sort of introduction to the CD, and #16 (a 1920’s style instrumental remake of track #9).
