Album Review

By this point, too much of the band's endearing quirkiness had evaporated. Their sound was not all that distinguishable from other new wave groups, and apart from a few songs, they simply weren't as interesting as before, musically or lyrically. It was as if they had lost their focus after New Traditionalists and couldn't remember how to be naturally weird.

Album Review Review

I am disappointed in the i-Tune's Album Review. For those who believe, Whip-It is Devo's greatest achievement, this album is not going to impress. But they simply are not Devolved enough to understand. Tchaikovsky hated the fact that the Nutcracker, and 1812 Overture were so popular, as he considered these pieces inferior to his more serious work. Whip-It is Devo's Nutcracker.

This album was the mainstay of their 1982 Tour, which featured the most original interactive performance between video, lights, and musicians I have ever seen. Speed Racer, Peek-a-Boo, and Big Mess are hilarious and musical at the same time. And their sound was not loosing its edge as the i-Tunes review suggests. Rather, the band was developing a more integrated and refined art form that still had the deliberately ambiguous metaphors & grainy graphics, but dipped with double and triple meaning.

Devo’s most impressive trait is their satirical wit, which places themselves in the center of the absurd culture they parody. Devo has always exhibited a rare combination of self-deprecation and self-belief in their art. They don't really care what mainstream culture thinks of them, as they warp and reflect the absurdity of that culture back on itself. It is music for themselves and their fans, and they let it speak for itself without further explanation. Time Out for Fun, it’s just that simple…

Good Album, Great Oldies

I'm not a fan of keeping things "naturally weird" and I deplore bumber stickers reading to that effect (e.g. Keep Austin Weird, Keep Portland Weird). They should read "I'm a hipster...didn't ya know?" This album has a ton more synth than previous Devo works, but Time Out for Fun, Peek A Boo, Out of Sync are all quality tunes that still sound different than 99% of all bands ever! The I-Tunes Review stinks.

This was Devo's last good album.

Biography

Formed: 1972 in Akron, OH

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

One of new wave's most innovative and (for a time) successful bands, Devo was also perhaps one of its most misunderstood. Formed in Akron, OH, in 1972 by Kent State art students Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, Devo took its name from their concept of "de-evolution" — the idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society. Their music echoed this view of society as rigid, repressive, and mechanical, with appropriate...
