Book Review
Aug. 11th, 2016 04:16 pmFreedom of Choice
by Evie Nagy
This short book discusses the 1980 Devo album Freedom of Choice and also uses it as a focal point around which to look at the band's rise and fall, their particular brand of humor and social commentary, and their reception. Nagy draws heavily on interviews with the band's members and on reviews and commentary written around the time Freedom of Choice came out. I found this to be an easy and informative read that shed a lot of light on one of the more interesting and subversive 80s new wave bands.
