AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Heading into the new millennium, there was no truly
definitive Devo compilation on the market, so Rhino attempted to remedy
the situation with the double-disc Pioneers Who Got Scalped: The Anthology
-- and did a pretty good job, without quite pulling it off. When faced
with a choice, the compilation takes the collector-oriented route by including
the rarer version; as a result, buyers get the original Booji Boy-label
recordings of "Jocko Homo" and "Mongoloid"; the single remixes of "Snowball,"
"Baby Doll," and "Disco Dancer"; and the extended dance remixes of "Here
to Go" and "Theme From Doctor Detroit." As an added bonus for fans, the
beginning and end of each disc features brief sound clips from the group's
legendary short films. More problematic, though, is the anthology's attempt
to present a balanced overview of all phases of Devo's career. While admirable
in intent, the fact is that the group's oeuvre grew steadily weaker as
time passed, and since disc one runs all the way through their first (and
best) four albums, disc two is a pretty bumpy ride. Not that it's worthless
-- collectors and devoted fans will be thrilled with the inclusion of quite
a few songs that had only previously appeared on various movie soundtracks,
and it also rescues some worthwhile (if not quite transcendent) singles
from obscurity, like the aforementioned "Disco Dancer" and "Post Post-Modern
Man." But as a listening experience, it pales next to the first disc in
terms of songwriting, musical invention, and edgy humor; plus, where the
band's early covers reinvented rock standards as comments on alienation
and dehumanization, latter-day items like "Bread and Butter" and "Itsy
Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" are strictly novelties and
nothing more. So the bottom line is, you've got to be a hardcore Devo enthusiast
to fully appreciate Pioneers Who Got Scalped. If you are, it's a fantastic
