From Wiki: Dookie is the third studio album by American rock band Green Day, released on February 1, 1994 by Reprise Records. It was the band’s first collaboration with producer Rob Cavallo and its major record label debut. Dookie became a worldwide commercial success, peaking at number two on the US Billboard 200 and charting in seven countries.[2][3] The album helped propel Green Day, and even punk rock music into mainstream popularity.[4]Dookie was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America for the shipments of 10 million copies.
The album was released during a period in which the United States was mainly focused on grunge music, an angst-ridden genre that was almost the complete opposite of No Doubt’s upbeat, commercial sound. Despite strong tours, the album failed to perform as well as the record company expected it to, selling only 30,000 copies. The record company refused to fund the release of a single from it, so No Doubt released its only single “Trapped in a Box” independently. Since the band signed out of Interscope, the band independently produced and released a follow-up to No Doubt titled The Beacon Street Collection in 1995; it had a better commercial performance, selling 100,000 copies, leading Interscope to finance and support their third album Tragic Kingdom (1995).

From Wiki: Total Devo is the seventh studio album by the American new wave band Devo. It was originally released in May 1988, their first album on Enigma Records, four years after their previous album, Shout. The album was recorded between 1986 and 1988, with the basic tracks recorded at Devo studios, in Marina del Rey, and the additional tracks at Master Control, in Burbank, California.
Total Devo was the first Devo studio album without drummer Alan Myers, who was replaced by former Sparks drummer David Kendrick. This was the last Devo album to include use of the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer, which was mostly used for pre-sequencing the album, as well as for sampling in the choruses of “Some Things Never Change” and “Agitated.”
“The Shadow” has lyrics that contain numerous references to literary works. The chorus is partially lifted from T. S. Eliot‘s poem “The Hollow Men” and it incorporates and paraphrases the catchphrase from the serials following the character The Shadow (“Who knows what lurks in the hearts of men?/The shadow knows!”).
The song “Baby Doll” was used that same year in the comedy film Tapeheads, with newly recorded Swedish lyrics, and was credited to (and shown in a music video by) a fictitious Swedish band called Cube-Squared.
Total Devo was the only Devo album to be released on DAT in addition to the standard releases on vinyl, cassette and CD. At 41 minutes and thirty seconds long, it is also Devo’s longest studio album.
On July 17, 2018, Devo’s official Facebook page announced that Futurismo Inc. would be issuing a 30th anniversary two-disc deluxe edition of Total Devo, on both CD and vinyl formats.[1]
