Devo je americká new wave skupina z Ohia, založená v roce 1973. Proslavila se bizarními kostýmy, kombinací rockové hudby s elektronikou a satirickým společenským komentářem. Jejím konceptem je „de-evoluce“ — myšlenka, že lidstvo spíše regreduje než postupuje. V osmdesátých letech hudba skupiny vstřebala více synth-popu a stala se více mainstreamovou.
Kompilace 50 Years Of De-Evolution 1973–2023 vyšla u příležitosti padesátého výročí vzniku skupiny a shrnuje všechny zásadní momenty z její tvorby. Trojdiskový box obsahuje remastery velkých hitů jako Whip It, Girl u want a (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, vedle vzácných rarit a demonahrávek z raných let. Druhý disk přináší alternativní verze skladeb jako Mongoloid (Booji Boy Version) či demosnímek I'm a Potato z roku 1974.
