AMG Review of Greatest Hits

Steve Huey
All Music Guide

While Greatest Hits contains all of the truly necessary items, it also tends to overlook some of the better album tracks from Devo's early period (easily their best work) in favor of a more balanced overview, which means that later albums receive more exposure than they really deserve. The import collection Hot Potatoes: The Best of Devo has stronger selections and is the preferred single-disc overview of Devo's career, but if you can't find it and only want one Devo disc, this will do.
