C+ (Okay).
I really wanted to like this. They seem like they're having a good time. There just wasn't anything that connected with me, except to make me say "that was weird."

One Of The Greatest Recordings Ever..., March 3, 2005
Reviewer: Matthew Jaworski (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
And that's just not hyperbole. Pardon my ignorance, but I was just not aware of the full extent of Devo's power. These seminal recordings (this and Volume 2) truly blew my mind, and actually made me ashamed that I had not heard them previously. I was only familiar with Devo post-77, which is some of the finest post-punk, new wave ever. If you have not heard these two albums, do yourself a favor and seek them out. Kill if you must. These tracks are much rawer and more deranged than later Devo. From crude vocoder paired with detuned synth duets, to fuzzy guitar rock, this is some truly Devolutionary music for Devolutionary spuds. Some of these songs have a leering, almost sinister edge which was later smoothed out for mass consumption. It is absolutely criminal that these two albums are out-of-print. I sure hope Mark Mothersbaugh and Company hold the rights to these gems, because they deserve exposure. You need this, you just don't know how much yet. I feel that these two albums made me a better and smarter person (than you).

Their Best Songwriting, July 12, 2005
Reviewer: XraySpex - See all my reviews
If your expecting songs like "Whip It" you aren't reading the title. This is a compilation of awesome stripped down songs that contain truly great melodies and socially cutting, humorous lyrics. Songs like "Automodown", "I'm A Potato", "Midget", "Ono", "Stop, Look, And Listen", "Soo Bawlz", "Social Fools", etc... contain the most adventerous, funny music ever produced. I love this album, and would love to hear in a different context if Eno produced it. It would be my favorite album of all time. As it is it is just a lot of fun and a great hidden treasure in an awesome career.
