"Pretty much for die-hards only.Even THEN,you'll most likely be let down.Believe this CD is my first one-star rating,out of all my reviews I've done upon this site.Main problem here is that I seriously doubt any of the thirteen bands that appeared on this disc were all that familiar with Devo.UNLESS you spot this title for like $1.00,you might want to avoid it.Might get better use out of it as a drink coaster."

"Want Devo songs to be more rock and less punk? That is perhaps the only angle that works on this album. One must question the logic of a tribute album: what are any of these bands adding to these songs?...and...what CAN be added to a Devo song? Nothing of particular merit here, and it's almost sad for a band to use a Devo tribute as a leg-up into the industry."

"YOU CANT ADD ANYTHING TO DEVO, DEVO ISNT PUNK AND NEVER WILL COMBINE OR SOUND GOOD WITH A PUNK VERSION OF IT. PLUS, I DESPISE THE WHINNY PUNK OF TODAY. THE BANDS WHO REMAKE ANY DEVO SONG MOST LIKELY DONT LISTEN TO THEM AT ALL. IF YOU REMAKE IT, REMAKE IT GOOD, BUT NO REMAKE IS BETTER THEN THE REAL THING!!! SEE YOU ALL IN THE FUTURE...FOREVER DEVO..."

"What else can I say? These are some of the most bland, boring, pointless bands rock has to offer. I like Supernova and thought their cover of 'Gates of Steel' would be worth listening to, but I was sorely mistaken. Tribute albums can be fun because they can offer such variety. If I just heard this cd and not known I probably would have thought these were all done by a single, crappy band who wishes they were punk but have no clue as to what that even means. Bad, bad, bad."

"I bought it. I listened to it. I opened my window and threw the disc out into the yard. 'Nuff said.
"One star" is 3/4 of a star too much. Sounds like watered down covers without benefit of any variation or originality. If you want new variations on old tunes, find a copy of the Devo Muzac album."
