If they did, it would at the very least sound much better. Make sense? I don't know but they wouldn't be as hateful as the world is now. DEVOlution was meant to wake us up.
They seem so subtly peeved when the guy mistakes mark as the singer of beautiful world but they still handled it like champs because in the end what does it matter.
It's hilarious to me to hear the Human Metronome talk about other groups that were popular around the same time that I was playing Devo on repeat nonstop. If I wanted Rock music I had Joe Walsh or Cheap Trick. Devo was that undefined thing. Record companies had coronary explosions trying to label them. They're New Wave! Nope. Not quite. They're Punk! Uhhh what? This crap went on and on until they stopped with the labels. That was about 1981 when New Traditionalists came out and they gave up with labels and just put the tapes on the shelves. They sold themselves. My best friend was walking across the parade field on Augusta, GA (Ft Gordon) with this tape blasting for everyone to hear. Batteries cost money. We sat down because i had not heard it yet. He played the entire album for me and to this day the impression sticks in my brain. New Traditionalists is probably the most well produced album of all time. I think they may have read Future Shock or something like that before they wrote the album
That is a disturbing thought. They spent more time making videos than music. I can't hear videos on the radio or my tape deck. Devo entered into that crossover period but they were solidly music over video. if they had spent more time on music production, would it have been as good? Sometimes you can overproduce an album and one of Devo' allures was their garage band here it is sound. AC/DC almost lost Highway To Hell around the same time because of shithead level control freaks. Think about that one. Highway to Hell without the Hell. Devo without....any of them. Especially that badass drummer.
Jerry was 34 and Mark 32 here. I wish these guys ran the world.
