Review

Buckle up, music maniacs! Devo's debut 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!' is a sonic rollercoaster that'll leave your ears dizzy and your mind buzzing. This 1978 gem, cooked up in the cauldron of Cologne with Brian Eno stirring the pot, serves up a spicy stew of punk, new wave, and art rock that's as tasty today as it was four decades ago.

From the quirky quips of 'Mongoloid' to the gut-punching 'Gut Feeling,' Devo crafts tunes that stick to your brain like musical superglue. It's an album that screams "We're not your average band!" from the rooftops, and boy, do they deliver on that promise. Critics initially scratched their heads, but time has proven this oddball opus to be a true trailblazer.

Japan fell head over heels for these Ohio oddballs, while the UK and US took a bit longer to catch Devo fever. But catch it they did! The album climbed charts, snagged certifications, and even got the full live treatment in 2009. Talk about staying power! 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!' isn't just an album - it's a time machine, a crystal ball, and a funhouse mirror all rolled into one. So pop it on, crank it up, and let Devo rewire your musical DNA! - Romy
