Product Description
From Amazon.com
When Devo's debut album came out in 1978, nobody knew what to make of the mutant new-wave quintet from Akron, Ohio. With Brian Eno's skillful production, Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Jerry and Bob Casale, and Alan Myers emerged fully formed and outrageous with their razor-sharp social commentary and exhibition of subversive media savvy. Beyond their industrial uniforms and pseudo-devolved demeanor, Devo also happened to be a rocking little band. Classic rave-outs like "Mongoloid," "Jocko Homo," and "Uncontrollable Urge" illustrate the band's perky-jerky intensity. On their inimitable cover of the Rolling Stones' youth anthem, "Satisfaction," Devo's avant-garde robot funk takes the song to a new level of alienation and discontent. While the band went on to greater fame, this was the only album they made that truly mattered. --Mitch Meyers

Devo borrowed from who Mr. Schwartz?,
By Terry B. (Mississauga, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are We Not Men? We Are Devo (Audio CD)
I hope you were joking when you imply Devo borrowed ideas from "Spandau Ballet, Human League, Thompson Twins and Visage." Because that's a pretty funny joke. Spandau Ballet started around 1979, Visage 1978, Human League + Thompson Twins 1977. Devo 1972 and had several bootlegs floating around prior to their first E.P. in 1977. Sorry your history is all wrong...This is a ground breaking album period.

A Perfect Devo Album,
By Clint Lanning (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are We Not Men? We Are Devo (Audio CD)
I love this CD. Devo's first album may be my favorite. It's starts with a great song "Uncontrollable Urge," and ends with another great song "Shrivel Up." From begining to end it is just a great Cd. The only thing I don't like is the length. It seems a little short to me. If you like Pop Rock, bands like Oingo Boingo or Talking Heads, then I think you will like Devo. This CD was so much ahead of it's time.

not easy listening, but fun,

I bought this album for my husband. He has really enjoyed listening to it. I have also liked being introduced to some music from his "formative years". Not easy listening by any stretch, but good fun.
