ExtraWack reviews the new DEVO 2.0 experience. Some of the lyrics have been changed a bit to better suit the younger ears of the target audience, and the ironic bite of "Beautiful World" has totally been neutered to make the song as sunny as its title…but the fact that there even exists a compact disc… Read More »DEVO 2.0, now they want your kids!
