I saw the ad in Maximum Rock'n'Roll and thought for a moment, "There can only be one MORMONS and they are from Ohio and featuring the ballcrushing yelps of Lean Steve. These are not those MORMONS." Sure enough they ain't! They aren't even THE HORNY MORMONS of ancient Lookout Records fame. I wonder how the vocalist sleeps at night knowing he sounds like Brian Connelly of THE SWEET singing "Ballroom Blitz" on every single song. (Ms. Two Tub agrees fellas. Sorry!) This cd isn't bad musically in a Warped-Tour-band-with-some-idea-of-old-punk kind of way, but I would save the money myself.

They try to be a pop punk band ala JUGHEADS REVENGE with some of the art school leanings of a band like THE HIVES but it's just flat, especially since the guitar hits some of those annoying glam metal spots now and again. OK! Now here is where I declare war on you! You do not fuck with my DEVO you asswipes! I must've missed this before. I am pissed! Do not come to my town or I will personally hunt you down and pull the plug on you! I will get good and drunk and come armed with a belt of Black Cat fireworks to stop you from this bullshit. You were okay with your own songs, but when you touched Thee Sacred Power of DEVO you officially done fucked up! This means war gentlemen! Are you ready to do battle? Choose your weapons!
