5.0 out of 5 stars Three great bonus songs plus two free albums!, February 9, 2002

This review is from: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo / 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars D.E.V.O., October 30, 2002

This review is from: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo / 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?

5.0 out of 5 stars TWO Of the ultimate DEVO albums on ONE CD, October 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo / Devo Live (Audio CD)

This CD contains the first "hit" album from DEVO. Includes Satisfaction and Jocko Homo. DEVO LIVE is the BEST Concert Recording DEVO has released to date. Includes Whip It and Planet Earth. There are also two "BONUS" tracks on the end that are not availible anywhere else in the US. This is a MUST-HAVE!!!
