Best of 2010: #8 - Devo - Something For Everybody (Warner)

Without question, this was the album I was most looking forward to. Back in 2008, Devo announced they were working on a new album scheduled for 2009. That got pushed back to 2010, and it was finally released in the summer. Devo are one of my most favourite musical acts. I love them for there playfulness, sarcasm and innovation. Something for Everybody was Devo's first album in 20 years, and it's not exactly vintage Devo, but it's pretty close. There are 7-8 solid tracks on the album and it holds together as an album, rather than just a collection of songs. It's good enough for #8 on my best of 2010.

The first single, Fresh, is excellent, but the best track on the album is What We Do.
