Devo este o trupă americană new wave din Ohio, fondată în 1973. S-a consacrat prin costume bizare, combinația de muzică rock cu elemente electronice și un comentariu social satiric. Conceptul trupei este „de-evoluția” — ideea că omenirea regresează mai degrabă decât să progreseze. În anii optzeci, muzica Devo a absorbit mai mult synth-pop și a devenit mai mainstream.
Compilația 50 Years Of De-Evolution 1973–2023 a apărut cu ocazia aniversării a cinci decenii de la înființarea trupei și reunește toate momentele esențiale din creația sa. Setul de trei discuri conține versiuni remasterizate ale marilor hituri precum Whip It, Girl u want și (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, alături de rarități valoroase și înregistrări demo din primii ani. Al doilea disc prezintă versiuni alternative ale pieselor, cum ar fi Mongoloid (Booji Boy Version) sau demoul I'm a Potato din 1974.
