More Devo
Let the Devolution begin! This is quite possibly the BEST COPY WE’VE EVER HEARD, and one of a very select group of copies (I can count ’em on one hand) to ever attain White Hot Stamper status here at Better Records. The sound here can be summed up in one word: HUGE! The bass is deep and punchy; the energy level is off the charts; the soundfield has tremendous depth and the music is just flyin’ out of the speakers. If you’re a fan of this music — and you should be — you’ll be hard pressed to find a copy that comes close to this one!
As soon as we dropped the needle we were shocked at incredible size and spaciousness here. We’re always waiting for those moments when the speakers disappear and the sound of an album goes to a level we’ve never heard before, and that’s exactly what this copy delivered. As Good As It Gets, White Hot Stamper material all the way.
While Devo’s music may never sound as rich, warm, and tubey as the typical classic rock album, that certainly doesn’t mean we need to accept completely anemic, sterile sound for this album. It took a big stack of copies, but here’s one that made us sit up straight, pay attention and enjoy. (more…)
