Devo released their sixth album, Shout, in 1984 to mixed reviews.
The album has been criticized for its overuse of the Fairlight CMI synthesizer, and weak songwriting.
However, the band's cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic "' Are You Experienced?
" and the accompanying music video received some praise.
Following the commercial failure of Shout, Warner Bros. dropped Devo from their label.
Shortly after, claiming to feel creatively uninspired, Alan Myers left the band.
This caused the band to abandon the plans for a " Shout " video LP, as well as their tour for the album.
During the interim, Mark Mothersbaugh began composing music for the TV show Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and released an elaborately packaged solo cassette, Musik for Insomniaks, which was later expanded and released as two CDs in 1988.
