Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: A superlative double CD that covers the entire Devo saga. It opens with both sides of their first Booji Boy single and finishes with a series of songs dating from the late 90’s (some of which are actually quite bearable), climaxing with 'The Words Get Stuck In My Throat', a live favourite finally committed to tape. Among the goodies are 'Be Stiff', getting its debut on CD, and the best bits from all of their albums, as well as songs recorded for soundtracks. Excellent booklet and nice packagng make this is a must.
