- I-I-I-I-I didn't review anything, sir!

Even if you've never played the Smart Patrol computer game, (best of luck finding it, its out of print), this is still a worthwhile addition to your CD library if you're a hardcore Devo fan. The 2nd half of the album is all rehash, but the first half makes up for it. The three new Devo songs include the blah instrumental Smart Patrol theme, the wimpy but still catchy "That's What He Said", and a reworked Booji Boy version of their hardcore noiseburst "U Got Me Bugged", this one with 100% understandable lyrics. The two non-Devo songs are what really make this album worth it. They are "Spirit Of JFK" by Spudtalk-founder Scott Orsi, which consists of JFK newsreel sound clips set to a rock & roll background (trust me on this one) and, my personal favorite, the juvenile speed-metal song "34C" by Brian Applegate, all about boob sizes. Bottom line: if you find this in a bargin bin for a discount price, snag it up. For added pleasure, scare your sister by showing her what a Turkey Monkey looks like.

- We Must Repeat!

Good Spud points: New material consists of 5 songs. The first two are performed by the Smart Patrol and can be found on the CD-ROM. "U Got Me Bugged" has been re-recorded with a new Booji Boy vocal track that is MUCH more understandable than the Hardcore 2 version. Two songs are non-Devo; however, they are still de-evolved as ever: "34C" by Brain Applegate and "The Spirit of JFK" by Scott Orsi.

Bad Spud points: Half the album is recycled songs already found somewhere else. The latter half of the album is mostly a compact Greatest Hits/Misses collection. Get a taste of Devo's hits without buying Greatest Hits/Misses.
