EXTD=Pioneers Who Got Scalped : The Anthology - Disc 2 of 2\n\nRelease
EXTD=d May 9, 2000\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Heading into the new millenni
EXTD=um, there was no truly definitive Devo compilation on the market,
EXTD= so Rhino attempted to remedy the situation with the double-disc 
EXTD=Pioneers Who Got Scalped: The Anthology -- and did a pretty good 
EXTD=job, without quite pulling it off. When faced with a choice, the 
EXTD=compilation takes the collector-oriented route by including the r
EXTD=arer version; as a result, buyers get the original Booji Boy-labe
EXTD=l recordings of "Jocko Homo" and "Mongoloid"; the single remixes 
EXTD=of "Snowball," "Baby Doll," and "Disco Dancer"; and the extended 
EXTD=dance remixes of "Here to Go" and "Theme From Doctor Detroit." As
EXTD= an added bonus for fans, the beginning and end of each disc feat
EXTD=ures brief sound clips from the group's legendary short films. Mo
EXTD=re problematic, though, is the anthology's attempt to present a b
EXTD=alanced overview of all phases of Devo's career. While admirable 
EXTD=in intent, the fact is that the group's oeuvre grew steadily weak
EXTD=er as time passed, and since disc one runs all the way through th
EXTD=eir first (and best) four albums, disc two is a pretty bumpy ride
EXTD=. Not that it's worthless -- collectors and devoted fans will be 
EXTD=thrilled with the inclusion of quite a few songs that had only pr
EXTD=eviously appeared on various movie soundtracks, and it also rescu
EXTD=es some worthwhile (if not quite transcendent) singles from obscu
EXTD=rity, like the aforementioned "Disco Dancer" and "Post Post-Moder
EXTD=n Man." But as a listening experience, it pales next to the first
EXTD= disc in terms of songwriting, musical invention, and edgy humor;
EXTD= plus, where the band's early covers reinvented rock standards as
EXTD= comments on alienation and dehumanization, latter-day items like
EXTD= "Bread and Butter" and "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Do
EXTD=t Bikini" are strictly novelties and nothing more. So the bottom 
EXTD=line is, you've got to be a hardcore Devo enthusiast to fully app
EXTD=reciate Pioneers Who Got Scalped. If you are, it's a fantastic pa
EXTD=ckage; if you want a more basic overview, you're better off with 
EXTD=the somewhat disorganized Greatest Hits and Greatest Misses discs
EXTD= or the import collection Hot Potatoes. It's kind of a shame, tho
EXTD=ugh, that in spite of the generally fine job done compiling Pione
EXTD=ers, there still isn't a single Devo anthology that distills all 
EXTD=the best moments from their crucial early years, and throws in ju
EXTD=st the right (small) number of later singles. -- Steve Huey\n\nRo

EXTD= Review\nThis is it? Just two CDs devoted (snicker) to one of the
EXTD= great American bands? With the one-two punch of their mission st
EXTD=atements "Jocko Homo" and "Mongoloid" from the early 70's, it's c
EXTD=lear that Devo had it all figured out from the beginning. Theirs 
EXTD=was a fight against the increasingly alienating modern world, a s
EXTD=ort of "if you can't beat it, join it" idea. Devo would find more
EXTD= honest humanity by becoming less human. "Are we not men? We are 
EXTD=Devo!" was their declaration, echoing the man-beast experiments i
EXTD=n H.G. Wells's Island of Dr. Moreau. Devo were not just academic 
EXTD=philosophers, or simple clowns. They could rock! Disjointed beats
EXTD=, Beefheart-worthy rhythms, and strange sounds combined with gene
EXTD=ral outrageousness resulted in a great rock & roll band, and even
EXTD= a hit or two on the pop charts like 1980's "Whip It."\n\nThe fir
EXTD=st of the two CDs on the Rhino compilation Pioneers Who Got Scalp
EXTD=ed goes down like butter, every song a classic. Two or three more
EXTD= CDs could have easily been culled from these same fertile years 
EXTD=between their debut album and 1981's New Traditionalists. The sec
EXTD=ond CD starts to lose the plot a bit as the members of Devo start
EXTD=ed going in different directions, primarily Mark Mothersbaugh's d
EXTD=eveloping interest in movie soundtracks and scoring. But it does 
EXTD=still paint the picture of Devo and where they were during what J
EXTD=erry Casale, Mothersbaugh's writing partner, refers to as "the en
EXTD=igmatic years."\n\nUntil someone steps up and releases the entire
EXTD= Devo recordings and videos together in one big box, this will ha
EXTD=ve to do. And too many great things cannot be said about the 52-p
EXTD=age booklet filled to the gills with info and photos. While compl
EXTD=etists will still be left wanting, this'll keep most spud boys an
EXTD=d girls pogo-ing contentedly. --Steve Turner \n\nVH1 Online Revie
EXTD=w\nTwo decades before "synergy" became the buzzword of late-capit
EXTD=alist suits, Devo crawled from the primordial ooze of Akron, Ohio
EXTD=, with an evolved, multi-pronged attack that today would make the
EXTD= boys in marketing drool: music, video, fashion, and a duty now f
EXTD=or the future. The rebel Spud boys' commentary on the de-evolutio
EXTD=n around them combined the best of the avant-garde (early synth-p

EXTD=Devo world, Pioneers Who got Scalped reminds us why Mark, Bob, Bo
EXTD=b No. 2, Alan, and Jerry were not just the only band with plastic
EXTD= hair, they were - truly - the only band that mattered. From the 
EXTD=Moog minimalism of "Jocko Homo" (which staked out the group's uni
EXTD=que place early on with the mantra "Q: Are we not men? A: We are 
EXTD=Devo!"), to the Eno- (and emo-) punk of "Uncontrollable Urge," to

EXTD=ds, they don't come much more misunderstood than Devo. As part of
EXTD= that bizarre phenomenon of art-punks who became MTV superstar st
EXTD=aples in the early '80s, Devo has always been a bit hard to pin d
EXTD=own. Were they one-hit wonders? Well, probably. "Whip It" is prob
EXTD=ably the only Devo song that 99% of the population could name. Bu
EXTD=t it's clear upon listening to this double-disc anthology that De
EXTD=vo is certainly overdue some respect. \n\nAs part of their missio
EXTD=n to protect the "spuds" from "the ninnies and the twits," Devo r
EXTD=epeatedly beseeched their listeners to take note of the crass de-
EXTD=evolution going on around them in the form of overhyped marketing
EXTD= and grotesque consumption. And, to do this, they sang simple-sou
EXTD=nding songs about not-so-simple things. The songs were catchy ("M
EXTD=ongoloid," "Freedom of Choice," "Beautiful World"), but the ideas
EXTD= weren't so easy. So, they gave the spuds cute little characters 
EXTD=(Nu-Tra Man, General Boy) that helped explain things. However, th
EXTD=e best way to understand de-evolution is to listen. And Pioneers 
EXTD=Who Got Scalped makes the listening quite an enjoyable education.
