Devo Ratings & Reviews
- Scott SmithSeptember 24, 2025I've always loved Devo since I was a teenager. What I wasn't ready for was how political they were as a band when they started out at Kent State. Who knew? I always found their concept of De-evolution as humorous, but I never it knew it had serious political and philisophical roots. This was a great look back at the start of the band and where they took it. Still a big fan today.
- Michael SurberSeptember 18, 2025Been a DEVO fan since the first album so I was looking forward to this. Great background of the early years but you can forget anything post-WB. They gloss over their Enigma releases in about a minute and then ZERO mention of their final album release at all. This is particularly disappointing since it was easily one of their best albums. Still worth watching, these guys are the real deal.
