Edited 19 hours ago"Duty Now For The Future" is quite a letdown after Dev-O's seminal debut. For the first record, they had been refining that material for years. It's fresh, it's polished, it's tight.
The follow up feels like a struggle to come up with good material. The album is full of b sides and c sides. The sophomore slumps hard, here. The Dev-O corporate anthem is a harbinger of what's to come: absolutely uninspired.
"Clockout" is one of the tunes that works. "Blockhead" should have stayed a demo.
You think, a cover of "Secret Agent Man?" The band that reinvented "Satisfaction?" Bring it on! And then it's just not very good. Feels lazy.
Thank thee Booji gods that Dev-O returned to peak form a year later with "Freedom of Choice."
