Cover #32: Devo covers "Head Like A Hole" by Nine Inch Nails

 There is something perhaps natural about new wave pioneers Devo covering an epic Nine Inch Nails song; after all, groups like Devo, Cabaret Voltaire, and Kraftwerk paved the way for later industrial titans like Ministry and NIN.  But while the inter-generational re-passing the torch might make sense, Devo mostly wastes an opportunity with this version.  The verses work better than the chorus, but don't expect any cool Devo surprises here like some of their other cover songs.  If they had done something creative and unexpected with the chorus, this could have been magic.  Instead, it sounds like a Devo cover band covering NIN.  Darn.  ✅✅
