Interesting that we're discussing Oh No! on the New Traditionalists page. Nevertheless Side 1 of Oh No! is by no means as bad as you make it out to be, and you can't say all of Side 2 contains thoughtful music (Big Mess, Speed Racer I wouldn't consider thoughtful at all). And Patterns is the song I like least on that album. But since this is the New Traditionalists page, I think certain tracks on NT live up to their former glory (you know which), but the start of the slide is here.

There's absolutely no comparison between side 2 and the tuneless happy children's music on side 1. The songs are darker and more thoughtful, and they sound like they're actually trying to make good, catchy music, instead of throwing together a bunch of disgusting novelty keyboard brapps and singing nonsense lyrics over it like they do on side 1. though the only GREAT song on it (and the entire album) is "Patterns". By far the highlight on Oh, No!

funny that you don't mention Out of Sync, when it is miles better than the first 3 songs you listed (though it is still not very good). Side 1 of Oh, No! is full of godawful 80's kiddie-pop with cheesy, brappy 80's keyboards, annoying novelty noises/sound effects, and goofy vocal deliveries. I kinda like That's Good though.

Yeah, you've singled out the wrong half of Oh, No!

yeah the album as a whole sounds heavy-handed and kinda dull cause of it. Still some decent material though, and they only got worse from here anyway. Their attempt to bring back their kookyness and humor resulted in the horrendous first half of Oh No! and the rest of their career......until the NEW ALBUM comes out, that is!

This doesn't strike me as technically bad by any means... but the lack of manic humour in a desire to be taken more seriously ultimately strips Devo of a large part of what makes their debut and Freedom of Choice such stand-out albums, and what remains strikes me as kind of pretentious.

Compared to their earlier albums, this is prep for Rugrats. Still some quality tracks, though.
