I've always liked "Shout". It's great to see the expression on other diehard Devo fans' faces when I tell them this, because many think it's one of Devo's worst albums. (I think either "Total Devo" and/or "Smooth Noodle Maps" might vie for that place).

Tracks like "Here To Go" and "Jurisdiction Of Love" are great, the title track is super (and the E-Z listening version is even better!), and Devo's take on "Are You Experienced?" remains a true gem.

At the time, the albums was scarcely promoted, only one video clip was made (for "Experienced?", and (at the time) it was Devo's highest budgeted videos; it remains rarely seen, because of reluctance from the Hendrix estate.), and it was generally forgotten by the masses.
Rated 3/5

Devo's first turn for the worst (Oh No, It's Devo! was more like a crossing point)
We are introduced to a nearly all synth Devo: drum synths, synth horns and almost no guitars. For Devo's earlier fans it turned to be a big disappointment. However there are songs on this album that are worth listening too.

1. Shout: Actually a great song too bad it's on an album like this.

2. The Satisfied Mind: Pretty good follow up to the title track.

3. Don't Rescue Me: Great song great synth line.

4. The 4th Dimension: kinda goofy at the beginning but it picks up after a while.

5. C'mon: Lyrics are kinda weak but alright.

6. Here To Go: Start of Side B and is that exact quality.

7. Jurisdiction Of Love: This is the first step in a line of horrible songs.

8. Puppet Boy: WTF? Some of the worst writing ever. Pinocchio should have gone to school.

9. Please Please: The last decent song, just decent.

10. Are You Experienced?: Probably their worst cover, just stupid and Hendrix is way better.

Overall a just-okay album. Some great songs on Side A but B just destroys it.

2.5/5
