Review: This is the coolest thing ever. It's a limited edition release of 5000, and it's two CDs jam-packed with all sorts of rare demos, alternate mixes and other various rarities sure to make a spud just die with joy. It's a little expensive -- 40 bucks -- but worth every single penny. Comes with great liner notes and artwork and everything, too. Oh MAN. And just because these songs weren't released doesn't mean they suck -- it's baffling that "Recombo DNA" never came out on anything. Lots of stuff from pretty much all eras of DEVO's career, so there's something for everyone here. Man. This is basically spud-heaven. A must have. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
