Are we not men?

Wow. That didn't suck like everything else they have done since 1988.

And no, Rugrats doesn't count kids.

 
Confabulat [TotalFark] 2009-04-11 12:01:45 AM  
Well it does sound authentically just like one of those '80s songs that you'd find in the middle of Side Two of a tape as filler to pad out an album.

 
cretinbob [TotalFark] 2009-04-11 12:03:28 AM  
HAHA Don't tase me Bro.

 
HappyHarryHardOn [TotalFark] 2009-04-11 12:08:48 AM  
Devo fan here, who thinks "Are we not Men" is one mighty important album but also of the opinion that grown men in their 40s or more shouldnt be playing rock n roll...

this was actually ok-good... Nowhere near a classic, but not obnoxious and bordering on being catchy. give it a 7.8 out of 10

MEH!!

 
Guy Innagorillasuit [TotalFark] 2009-04-11 12:28:56 AM  
Not bad. It's certainly no Gates of Steel, but it's OK.

 
Dr.Knockboots [TotalFark] 2009-04-11 01:03:12 AM  
well, that was terrible.
Sounds like every currently bad retro-ish, tight pants wearing, emasculated, bad haircut having, overly accessorizing, glamtrash rock band that is trying to sound like they are from the 80's.

Yep.. terrible.

I chortled. Won't be singing it in the shower, but then I don't sing anything in the shower.

 
DeCypher44 [TotalFark] 2009-04-11 02:06:58 AM  
I liked it. Not bad, not great, but good.

Go, go, go Speed Racer!

A: We are Fark!

looks like an e-surance commercial, but anything by Devo is an automatic win

Damn you Mothersborough!
I've had that stuck in my head for 45 minutes now.

/needs new Wilco album

 
CatfoodSpork 2009-04-11 10:26:06 AM  
It really seems to follow the same formula as some of their old videos, especially the chorus sections.

I enjoyed the inclusion of wacky wailing inflatable arm-flailing tube-man.

i never fully appreciated the phrase "don't tase me bro" until now. loved the visuals, and very much looking forward to the new album.

Like others have stated, not their worst but not a classic either.

 
bungle_jr 2009-04-11 11:56:34 AM  
that
was
AWESOME!

 
papercut 2009-04-11 11:57:41 AM  
that was fun! Gut Feeling is still my favorite though.

That video is all sorts of WIN!!!

Awesome.

Technically this isn't a reunion.

cretinbob: Wow. That didn't suck like everything else they have done since 1988.

I came here to say about the same thing. Stuff like Post-Post Modern Man and Disco Dancer was DEVO at their worst. I clicked the link expecting something along those lines, and was surprised. Still not as awesome as their '78-'81 stuff, but not bad.

True enough. Though the statement is a close enough approximation for what I wanted to express.

"Watch Us Work It" is an awesome song they put out in recent years. They even sample their own song "Super Thing" in it.

 
DarKrow 2009-04-11 06:28:58 PM  
I had the distinct pleasure of getting an advance listen to a demo of this at DEVOtional 2008. The final product makes me cream my boxers.

I cannot WAIT for the new album. I CAN'T.

/Wishin' is for chumps!
//High hopin' is for fools!

 
Hand Banana 2009-04-11 06:47:48 PM  
Meh, not terrible but THIS ONE is far better (and hotter).

 
DJ El Macho 2009-04-11 07:19:15 PM  
they played that at the texas shows last month, along with two others, "get fresh", and "what we do is what we do". none of them have the classic sound of the first three albums, but they still sound pretty good.

i was just happy to hear "secret agent man" live. after party was a blast too, but i would say that.

 
DarKrow 2009-04-11 07:35:26 PM  
Also, the fat-ass SWAT guy cracks me up EVERY TIME.
