Shout (Devo album)

Shout is the sixth studio album by American new wave band Devo, released on October 8, 1984, by Warner Bros. Records.

Arriving two years after their previous studio album, Oh, No! It's Devo (1982), 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.

Most of the band members have stated that they were not satisfied with the completed album and the band went on hiatus for four years following its release. Additionally, Alan Myers, who had played drums for the band since 1976, departed after the release of the album, citing a lack of creative fulfillment stemming from the band's increasing use of drum machines and programming. Although Devo would go on to release two studio albums through Enigma Records, they would not release another studio album through Warner Bros. until their ninth album, Something for Everybody (2010).
