Reviews & Opinions

TROUSER PRESS: Dead in the water and sinking fast, Devo cast out Now It Can Be Told, a three-sided live album recorded in Los Angeles at the end of 1988. Lackluster, impotent performances turn what should have been a holding action into a total waste of time. Kendrick's unimaginatively routine drumming derails "Gut Feeling" and "Satisfaction," while a drastically revised arrangement of "Jocko Homo" turns it into an annoyingly slow, acoustic sway.

Additional Notes

The LP is three-sided (the fourth is etched)
