It was originally released in October 1984, on the labels Warner Bros. and Virgin, two years after their previous album, Oh, No! It's Devo. The album was recorded over a period of ten months between July 1983 and Feb 1984, in sessions that took place at the Record Plant in Los Angeles, California. The album retained the synth-pop sound of their previous few records, with an extensive focus on the then-new Fairlight CMI Series IIx digital sampling synthesizer. Despite the popularity of synth-pop in 1984, the album was a critical and commercial failure, peaking at only No. 83 on the Billboard 200 and ultimately leading to Warner Bros. dropping the band from their label. Shout was the second Devo album (after 1981's New Traditionalists) in which co-founder and bass player Gerald Casale sang the majority of the lead vocals, which are usually performed by Mark Mothersbaugh. 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. The band themselves have been quite vocal in that they were not satisfied with the completed album, and in response to a question from a fan on Twitter, Casale once said that recording the album was even "too painful to talk about."[1] As with every Devo album, the band developed a new look for the album, eschewing the black T-shirts and slacks with white "Spud Ring" collars of the Oh, No! It's Devo period and replacing them with "Chinese-American Friendship Suits." BackgroundShout 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. Shout was the final album by the 1976–1985 line-up of Devo, with their third and most prominent drummer, Alan Myers, leaving the band shortly after the album's release. According to the book We Are Devo, Myers cited a lack of creative fulfillment as his reason for leaving the band, something that he had felt since Devo's move to Los Angeles in the late 1970s. Devo's increased use of drum machines and electronics through the years had greatly reduced Myers' role in the band, although Gerald Casale has said that he begged Myers not to leave.[2]One of Shouts singles is "Are You Experienced?", a Jimi Hendrix cover that carried on the Devo tradition of radically transforming notable songs which began with their 1977 cover of the Rolling Stones song "(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 music to Wilson Pickett hit "Land of a Thousand Dances." In a 2007 interview with Billboard magazine, Gerald Casale stated that Shout was the biggest regret of his career, "because the Fairlight [synthesizer] just kind of took over everything on that record. I mean, I loved the songwriting and the ideas, but the Fairlight kind of really determined the sound." [3] According to a 2005 interview with Bob Mothersbaugh, "Mark and Jerry kept saying in interviews that the guitar was obsolete and wanted to prove it with the Shout album."[4] Cover artworkThe album cover photograph, taken by Karen Filter, is a head shot of Timothy Leary's son Zachary Chase on a composite background with his left hand raised by his open mouth in a "shout" gesture. The album's back cover depicts a head shot photo of guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh's daughter Alex with her eyes focused upwards and her left hand raised by her ear in a listening gesture. It's notably their first album since 1978's Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! not to feature any of the band's members on the outside cover. Promotional music videoA lavish music video for "Are You Experienced?"[5] was produced by the band in conjunction with Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius. The video featured Devo as floating blobs of wax in a lava lamp and Jimi Hendrix (played by Hendrix impersonator Randy Hansen) stepping out of his coffin to play a guitar solo, as well as the cover children Chase and Alex. Despite being one of Devo's most visually complex and expensive music videos, it wasn't included on the 2003 DVD music video collection The Complete Truth About De-Evolution (although it had been included on the LaserDisc of the same name issued in 1993). In an interview with Gerald Casale for Earcandymag.com,[6] he explained:
Abandoned tourAs the band were dropped by their record label and went on hiatus following Shout's release, there was no tour to promote it. The only songs to be performed live from the album are the title track, as part of the "Somewhere With Devo" suite performed from 1988 to 1991, and a one-off performance of "Here to Go" in 1991.[7] Devo had apparently planned a tour show with a video projection backdrop, similar to the Oh, No! It's Devo tour of 1982. Critical reception{{Album reviews| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|1.5|5}}[8] | rev2 = Robert Christgau | rev2Score = {{Rating-Christgau|C}}[9] | noprose = yes }} The album received very negative reviews upon its release. Writing for The Village Voice, music journalist Robert Christgau stated, "Marking time (actually, a computer marks it for them), they create the rock--no, new wave--equivalent of baseball's 'Play me or trade me.' I played it. Now I'm trading it."[10] Mark Deming of AllMusic retrospectively called it a "forgettable, slick and glossy product with all human surfaces stripped away."[11] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale, except where noted | headline = Side one | extra_column = Lead vocals | title1 = Shout | extra1 = Mark Mothersbaugh | length1 = 3:15 | title2 = The Satisfied Mind | extra2 = Gerald Casale | length2 = 3:07 | title3 = Don't Rescue Me | writer3 = Mark Mothersbaugh | extra3 = M.
