Music reviews of Mine Is Not a Holy War
Music Review: De-Evolution is STILL real!...and here is the sonic proof!
Rating: 5 Stars
As a hardcore devo fan, I recommend this new CD highly.
This album rocks and goes back to Jerry's early confrontational roots with plenty of political and cultural commentary with Rock and Blues at the forefront, along with some danceable synth pop Mid 80's trademark Devo finishing touches that you might expect. Most tracks feature female backup singers...a idea tried once before by Devo on a few songs off of their "Total Devo" Album - but it works much better here. It really adds to the overall rock-meets-blue-sy, soulful feel with a full beef injection of punk rock, an occasional touch of rockabilly and some hardcore de-evolution. Old Devo fans may be a little shocked to find *gasp*... harmonica, along with conventional real organ and guitars as part of j.j.'s sonic arsenal on this audio offering.
This album is chock full of obscure hardcore DEVO rarities such as "I Been Refused", "I Need a Chick" and the ultra-rare, "Beehive." "Find Out" is also a welcome addition to the CD, a non-Devo album released cover of a track from the "Oh No!it's Devo! era. Each one of these classic standards is re-invented and fresh and shows Casale at his best. There are plenty of new tracks as well, to name a few. "Danger" is excellent, my favorite track, and is about every man's sex fantasy of 2 women coming true...the good and the bad of it. "Army Girls Gone Wild" also,... great, with a groove that does not quit...Full of political and cultural commentary. The second to last song on the disc is a Yardbirds cover: "He's always there." Honestly, one I had never heard before...Still don't know what I think about this one.
After listening to the CD, one is reminded that in the early days of DEVO Jerry was the in-your-face frontman. Eminem may rap about "God sent me here to piss the world off" but Jerry does it all the way, albeit in a humerous, more subversive manner...with style.
I have played this CD for southern rock, heavy metal, and yes, even redneck type people who have not heard of DEVO except for "whip it" (if they had even heard of "whip it") and they were shocked and loved it. As you read the CD liner notes: you realize that while there are some great guest musicians on here, Many of the new tracks have parts contributed by Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob "2" Casale, and Bob "1" Mothersbaugh, along with great(in-recent years DEVO live only) drummer Josh Freese...making this in a way, "the best new DEVO album never made."
If you failed to see the humor and irony in the DEV2.0 Disney and DEVO collaboration,
and it left a bad taste in your mouth, then "mIne is not a holy war is the perfect cure. I for one, am thankful that Jerry did not wait on Mothersbaugh to make a new Devo album. You owe it to yourself to check out this album. It is your genetic imperative!

Description of Mine Is Not a Holy War
Devo co-founder, Gerald V. Casale, returns as Jihad Jerry, a conceptual character pointing out the absurdities of our world through the majesty of song. With him are the Evildoers (featuring Devo members Bob Mothersbaugh and Josh Freese). Together, they've cooked up their very own brand of politically-fueled rock and roll that lives somewhere between Devo, The B-52s, and Michael Moore.Alternative Rock CDs
