Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Reissue of Hardcore Devo Vol. 1 74-77 and Hardcore Devo Vol. 2 74-77, with four extra previously unreleased tracks. Fans will want this for the extras, but be aware that there is no obvious upgrade in sound quality (the originals from the 1990s sounded great anyway) and the four bonus tracks are a bit worse sounding. Liner notes by Henry Rollins.
