SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY, Devo’s current full length album has made worldwide impact as powerful as the day they first warned our planet’s inhabitants of the theory of devolution and its equally arresting and influential soundtrack:
“The melodies get sharper and more skewed, the beats and synths more diverse and rangy – evoking everyone from LCD Soundsystem to Mouse on Mars. Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale can still bite off words with nervy smarts. ‘Something For Everybody’ holds some truth in its name.” – Pitchfork.Com
“Upbeat, catchy, with the usual unsettling undertones about life’s misadventures. Devo aims to please in 2010.” — The Los Angeles Times
“‘Something For Everybody’ ranks among their best.” – American Songwriter Magazine
