freedom of choice (devo)
I like it better than Q: Are We Not Men?… They've got this minimalist techno punk thing going on, it's not my favorite sound but it's all right. "Girl U Want" is a good opener, "Whip It" is a good one; my two favorites are "Freedom of Choice" and "Gates of Steel"- they both combine these sounds of emptiness, ominous bass, metallic voids, subtle movements- and a controlled passion in the vocals that really takes these songs to the next level. They sound like undangerous versions of Joy Division songs; cleaner, more programmed. They're catchy, cool, futurist. The second half of the album is all right but it kinda blends together.
