''Shout'' is the sixth studio album by the American new wave rock band Devo. It was originally released in October 1984 by Warner Bros. and Virgin. The album was recorded over a period of ten months between 1983 and 1984, at The Record Plant in Los Angeles. The album retained the synthpop sound of their previous records, with an extensive focus on the then-new Fairlight CMI computer synthesizer. Following its release, the band went on hiatus for four years. Although the band would release two studio albums through Enigma Records, they would not release another album through Warner Bros. until ''Something for Everybody'' in 2010. Despite the popularity of synthpop in 1984, the album was a critical and commercial failure and ultimately led to Warner Bros. dropping the band from the label. The band themselves have been quite vocal in that they were less satisfied with the album. ==Background== The album was the first of two Devo albums to use the Fairlight CMI, the other being 1988's ''Total Devo''. These approaches further pushed the sound of the guitar into the background of their music. Drummer Alan Myers left the band shortly after the album's release, citing that he felt creatively deprived, due to the band's increased use of drum machines and electronics. One of ''Shouts singles is "Are You Experienced?", a Jimi Hendrix cover that carried on the Devo tradition of radically transforming famous songs, which began with their 1978 cover of the Rolling Stones classic "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." The chorus melody of another Hendrix song, "Third Stone from the Sun," is transformed into a backwards guitar solo partway through the track. Similarly, "The 4th Dimension" incorporates the guitar hook from The Beatles' song "Day Tripper", "Jurisdiction of Love" contains a few notes from "Love Machine" by The Miracles and "Here to Go" quotes a bit of the Wilson Pickett hit "Land of a Thousand Dances." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shout (Devo album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
