Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Quite interesting and good fun.

Gosh, here I just don't see what makes it so good. It sure is transgressive and innovative, but beyond the new ideas I didn't feel it brought much to the table. I love Bowie's and Eno's work, but here it feels disjointed, chaotic and all over the place, and while there's certainly merit to its brand of post punk, I didn't really like it. If I had to pick one, I'd say "Mongoloid" was the best. "Uncontrollable Urge" wasn't bad either. The "Satisfaction" cover was pretty bad on the other hand.

Never heard of these before but thats what this list is for. Really enjoyed this one actually, great sound. Not the greatest fan of the Satisfaction cover though - it was unique and they've made it theirs but it just didn't hit the same way the original does.

Went quite Talking Head’sy which I liked, nothing too notable other than that

Hell yeah, I love my weird little autistic bands. Quality.

Okay, early DEVO. First track is very punk, second track is a pretty odd cover of The Rolling Stone's "Satisfaction" in a very DEVO way. New wave is definitely here already, I'm much more familiar with The B-52's and I'm hearing a lot of similar vibes combining eleclectic instrumentals with goofy (but sincere) lyrics and punk riffs. It's like punk mixed with surf rock sung by a comedy band. This is late 70's so not a ton of the overly synth-y New Wave aesthetic of the 80's I'm used to. "Gut Feeling" is maybe the most punk-y and probably my favorite on the album. "Shrivel-Up" is almost Halloween-y? These guys are weird as hell but they're definitely true to themselves. I don't think it's really for me but I appreciate the record. Pretty neutral, 3/5.

DEVO! They are a fun band. I'm not usually a new wave guy but I've always enjoyed them. Weird experimental music almost always hits well for me. This album is no exception, its a fun, odd album that lays out an entire genre of music. Sadly most of the bands that went for this sound never quite hit it.

Alright

The new wave era was just magic. I think there's not a single bad album from this time.

There's certainly better New Wave albums out there than this, and I'd suggest checking them out instead.

Just a blast. I have to deduct one star for the one song (you know which one).

Good, but not their best album. Their best album is FREEDOM OF CHOICE with the iconic standard, "Whip It", where they would perfect the balance of synth Kraftwerk and rock The Ramones. This album is a little too bare bones punk and doesn't show much of the innovations that Devo actually would bring to the genre of new wave where their influence was most felt. Their unique take on The Rolling Stones classic is more enjoyable than the original, as far as I am concerned. While this album is better than most of the punk albums that were chosen for this list, I think FREEDOM OF CHOICE is their most influential album to the masses and musicians. Personally, I would swap them.

Kinda like Ramones meets The Beach Boys. Not bad, but it didn't blow me away.

Devo at their most weird and wonderful. Are We Not Men? Is kind of the sound of punk morphing into new wave in real time. This album kind of feels like a cultural garbage disposal, you throw rock, funk, surf, punk, pop in, and Devo gets their wormy hands in all the crevices and Devos them up. We end up with an album that sounds more or less like a New Wave project, but with sort of a punk soul. But that isn't all, we also get a twisted weirdo cover of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, mutated surf riffs on Praying Hands, the abstract, opaque Space Junk, the skronky, discordant, delightfully obnoxious Jocko Homo, and the lower key, sour Shrivel-Up. And between these artier moments, Devo's sharp pop and punk songwriting really shines. Uncontrollable Urge, Mongoloid, and Sloppy are catchy, quirky, and fun. This is a really great collection of songs, and a *fantastic* debut. No one else, not even Devo can replicate the specific type of gleeful, catchy anarchy on Are We Not Men?

It lost my interest after the 3rd song. A lot of repetition. To me anyway.

Nice upbeat album if a little weird and some songs being... no longer politically correct. Doesn't have 'Whip it' on which is the only DEVO song I knew before listening to this but gives off some similar vibes.

>>> the Beatles This rules

Meh, kinda generic light-rock album

I hated this album.

A little while ago I read Maynard James Keenan’s biography - he liked Devo so much he named his son after them. So I thought, I love Tool, maybe I’ll love Devo too Wrong. This was awful and I hated it. It sounded to me like first tracks chords are a straight up rip off of Led Zeppelin’s Misty Mountain Hop. Some of the lyrics have not aged well, or maybe were always in poor taste. The whole thing really grated for me

Very much of the same mould as Talking Heads, surprisingly.

In my head, Devo is a new-wave band, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this album was just, I dunno, pop-rock of the era. This album was still a big ol' bag of whatever, but I didn't hate it like I feared. 2.8

I love the off kilter timing and lyrics. It’s whacky but talented. Having only ever really been exposed to “whip it” this was a nice surprise. A clean sound that is ultimately a bit manic for my taste, but I like it!

Fun, short album. my first time listening to devo other than whip it. Reminded me of Talking Heads somehow.

I absolutely love this. The spirit, the originality, the serious philosophical underpinnings (De-evolution) without a hint of self-seriousness in the music. The 2024 documentary (DEVO) is fantastic - delving into the nature of art and the artistic process as it intersects with commerce.

I just don’t like this genre. It’s fine but I don’t particularly like it. Sorry

This was another weird one for me to listen to. It did sound interesting, but it just didn't connect with me. I found myself confused on some of the musical sound choices made in this album.

Just crazy how unique this all is. In a world of rock stars, these guys took it in a totally different direction. And their interpretation of Satisfaction is their manifesto of a new world.

Mark Mothersbaugh, I like you

An okay album, I liked Uncontrollable Urge and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction the most.

I liked a couple songs but overall not my cup of tea.

Classic

Oh Man, one extra star for only being 34 minutes.

2.8 2x decent but too 80s pop

Has that Devo weirdness, but actually some melodies are hidden in there

Really like the instrumentation, but i truly could not vibe with the vocals 😔

This was alright, nothing spectacular, but it was a moderately fun listen. 3 or 4 songs I enjoyed, but had some filler/annoying songs too. Definitely deserved to be on the list, though, as their sound was pretty unique for the 1970s. 3/5

Enjoyed it, starting to see and hear Devo differently

Hear it before. I appreciate how fun Devo are. But this album just didn't really have any bangers to me 2/5

Gains marks for having a great sound Loses marks for an awful cover of Satisfaction Loses even more marks for having a song called mongoloid Ahead of its time but worth leaving there

Blije muziek en zelfs een cover. Grappig. ***

A nice little quirky listen. Very energetic, very new wave. Not my favourite but certainly enjoyable. Fave song on this listen: Gut Feeling

Ok 2/5

I was going to say I didn’t like this album, but to be fair, it blended so much into the background that I don’t remember much about it. That tells me two things: it wasn’t awful, and it wasn’t remarkable. It’s the musical equivalent of eating a cloud - no substance and no sustenance, but fine if that’s what you are into.

I recently watched the Netflix documentary (2025) on Devo, so I was excited to have this come up as I think I underrated Devo for a long time. This album was really fun, like Talking Heads meets Kraftwerk and surf rock, kind of. The standout track to me is "Gut Feeling / (Slap Your Mammy)" but I was continually impressed throughout. The rhythm section in their cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is wild. The simple composition but energy in "Uncontrollable Urge" is great. There isn't really a bad track, though the peaks of the songs aren't really as good as compared to, say, Talking Heads' albums of the same time. We can only wonder what this album would've sounded like if Brian Eno had been allowed more control in the studio. It's wild that anyone would restrict Eno so much, but I suppose he didn't have the same credentials that he has now. I respect Devo sticking to their vision of their songs and putting out what they wanted.

Funky af

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is in the running for best cover of any song ever. Beyond that, it's just a pure expression of it's time.

Did anyone producing this have ears?

fuck Devo and fuck everything they stand for.

fun but chaotic

plinky plonky and i know i should love it because it is wonky but i dont i am sonky

No whips here

Interesting, different, can hear their sound in modern stuff. Given it’s nearly 50 years old it doesn’t sound it! Stand out tracks: Space junk Mongoloid Shrivel up

Fun and weird. Some real bangers. Jocko Homo is iconic

This works when Devo embrace the fact that they’re goofballs.

Are we not annoying, we are DEVO? Too much gimmick for me.

Weird album! Scratches that same debut Talking Heads itch but is definitely a lot more abstract in some of its core components.

Irritating talk-singing with surf rock riffs making this some Kind of Post Punk.

Weird

It gets lost in barely coherent noise for a bit, but overall a great album in the pioneering of New Wave. Guy feeling/Slap your Mammy and Come Back Jonee are the highlights to me.

The “Satisfaction” cover is a canny tutorial on how to listen to this charismatic, staccato squadron of bangers and curiosities.

The spunky guitar riffs and sharp vocals are simultaneously very infectious and slightly annoying, as intended. "Jocko Homo" and "Come Back Jonee" perfect examples, "Satisfaction" perhaps a bit too sarcastic. "Mongoloid" is a long-term favorite, lyrics easily adaptable to tease/mock your person of choice at any given time. Utterly great in limited doses.

Today I learned this album came out in 1978, and yet I think of it as the quintessential 80s album in all their best ways. Delightfully weird, wonderfully produced, silly and musically sophisticated at the same time. Post - punk for the win.

It's weird. It's interesting. I don't like it.

Great way to start a Sunday. Walking my dog in my bucolic neighborhood. Legends, no doubt. Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby….

Their debut album. Post Punk / New Wave. Uncontrollable Urge is a nice punchy opening. Definitely an odd cover of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction as track two. Ha ! Beach Boys riffs mixed with eccentric Post Punk style and lyrics. Mongoloid, this track's music reminds me of Transmission by Joy Division. Love the quirky side of the album but overall it's a bit hit and miss.

They are Devo. 7/10

it’s absolutely insane that this album came out in the 70s. so incredibly ahead of its time it’s hard to even conceptualize. mark mothersbaugh is so cool

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! – Devo (1978) | New Wave / Post-Punk | Avg: 6.55 | Favorite Song: “Uncontrollable Urge” Devo’s debut is raw, twitchy, and proudly unpolished, and your scores reflect that mix of charm and inconsistency. “Uncontrollable Urge” jumps out as the obvious highlight—it’s kinetic and tightly wound, setting the pace for an album that thrives on nervous energy. Tracks like “Gut Feeling” and “Mongoloid” maintain the momentum, offering enough melody to balance out the more erratic tendencies. There’s a playful absurdity running through the whole project that’s either invigorating or irritating, depending on your tolerance for controlled chaos. That said, the back half noticeably dips, with several tracks hovering around the 5 or lower mark. It’s the kind of album that starts strong, delivers its thesis early, and then overstays its welcome just a bit. Still, Are We Not Men? feels like a necessary document of post-punk evolution—its jagged edges and robotic delivery would go on to influence countless bands. It might not land every punch, but the jabs are weird enough to leave a mark.

Had some catchy parts but found it rather fast, chaotic and shouty to get anything meaningful out of it.

I knew, and didn't really like, Whip It, and that was about it. So I was a tad apprehensive, but this wasn't as annoying as I expected; at least, not all the way through. Some of the riffs were actually pretty irresistable. I'm not keen on the vocals, but I quite enjoyed a lot. Would listen again.

New wave bastante freak, pero pegajoso y con una idea de "despersonalizacion musical" muy bien hecha. 3/5

Q: Did DEVO just learn what music is, or do they just suck? A: Yes.

the worst of the goofy genre

is devo dead yet? Please say yes.

I tried really hard to like it, I honestly did. Just not for me though I see the appeal Fav song: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

What a strange little group. Perhaps completely off base but to me this is almost more punk than new wave. Gut Feeling is the standout. High 3.

Devo always struck me more as a novelty act rather than a serious band. The music is different -- sounds like jagged, sharp edges rather than smooth curves. It certainly stands out. I think its just ok but I get why it's on the list.

I honestly loved this. It was weird, but it was authentically weird. I don't think these guys were trying to appear edgy or cool like so much of the punk/new wave bands we've heard. I think they were just weird freaks in the best possible way. Reminds me a bit of the B-52s in that way. That cover of Satisfaction as track 2 on a debut album was a bold choice as well.

Look, I know liking Devo is hip, and I really want to like their stuff more than I do. I have really lame claim to fame in that my mom was childhood friends with the mothersbaughs but they just ain’t for me.

jako dobro! ali mislio sam da će mi se još više svidjeti :( nema veze, sigurno ću opet slušati

4,5

Rock aus der Richtung "New Wave". Klingt nach 70ern, ist ok aber für mich kein Highlight. 3/5

no thanks, not into old school rock n roll

Punk. Nerd. Transcendent.

Celine dionia punkkina. No joo

Ei löytynyt uusia lemppareita kyllä tuolta.

Not usually the biggest fan of post punk/new wave but I did enjoy this one! I think the lack of distinct 80s synths made it more enjoyable for me.

Un gran descubrimiento, se nota su aire experimental y distinto, un disco marchoso que se compacta muy bien en su conjunto de canciones, una escucha muy amena. Sonidos muy bien cuidados y con carácter. Notable claro.

Not bad but feels like they are trying to hard on some songs, but is the sound of the times. High highs but low lows 3.5

total bullshit how did this even end up on the list? 34 minutes wasted

It was just fine. I didn’t need that cover of Satisfaction though.

No absolutely not. The riffs were promising but everything else blew. 2/10

Нуу так как-то, непонятно че. Может не очень в настроение попало, а может и не мое вовсе. Не пойми че какое-то, хоть и прикольное немного

I didn't love this but the energy is infectious and the songs are quite fun. I'm not really a fan of the yelpy vocals and Mongoloid.. well I would say it's not aged well, but was that acceptable in 1978?? I won't be returning to this

I really enjoyed this album. Great bass lines, weird lyrics and interesting music.

An all time classic. Short and sweet, Devo just leaving us all in their dust.

Twee platen terug hadden we al The Cars, nu krijgen we nog meer van die eind-jaren-zeventig-aanstellerij, maar dan nog veel erger. Punt is gewoon: deze lui kunnen geen muziek maken, en ze doen er ook geen enkele poging toe. Een beetje ironisch zitten klooien, dat kunnen ze. Het maakt mij niet uit hoor, doe je ding, maar: waarom moet ik er dan naar luisteren? Op de plaat van Ray Charles van gisteren doet iedereen z'n best, tot de triangelspeler aan toe. En hier gooit iedereen er aartslui met de pet naar. Val me er gewoon niet mee lastig, meer vraag ik niet.

Wat punk-zang, wat rare geluidjes, een cover om je eigenlijk voor te schamen en heel veel speelsheid. Allemaal ingrediënten die mijn gerecht goed voor me kunnen verpesten. Maar ergens heeft dit wel wat. Daarbij helpt de simpele catchy muziek me ook wel. Het zorgt voor wat balans met al die uitspattingen. Vrij uniek plaatje.

Een soort kruising tussen punkrock en new wave, vermengd met wat Talking Heads. De instrumenten zijn vrij eenvoudig en kaal zoals in de punk, maar ze spelen met wat aparte ritmes en geluidjes. Het tempo ligt lekker hoog, al blijft het toch wat lastig luisterbaar doordat de ritmesectie vaak stopt en doorgaat of een net iets ander ritme neerzet. Gelukkig komt er af en toe nog wel een gitaarsolo langs. Ik vind het wel geinig om te horen, ondanks dat het voor punk best snobberig overkomt door die new wave invloeden. Snobpunk, hier een nieuw hokje voor in het grote hokjesboek. Het is namelijk een stuk minder rauw dan Sex Pistols, maar ook niet zo highbrow als Talking Heads. Ik hoor er wel invloeden uit voor bandjes die later kwamen, in de 80s en 90s. In die zin snap ik wel dat ze een inspiratie waren voor latere bandjes. Dit zijn toch de albums die je een keer gehoord wil hebben om die reden. Het zit qua luisterplezier ergens tussen de 3 en de 4, maar het is me te weinig om er 4 sterren voor te geven.

1: Uncontrollable Urge has a strong intro, sounds a lot like Men Without Hats. Inspiration maybe? 8/10 not quite playlist worthy. 2: A really great stones cover. I like the chill aspect and that they added a lot without taking away from the original. 9/10 Cover, playlist worthy 3: Really synthy intro on the third, Praying Hands. Men Without Hat's style is super similar to this. I like it, 8.5/10 playlist worthy. 4: So far, and listening to the intro of Space Junk, I like all of the intros but the main parts aren't cutting it for me. Nice riff, 8/10. 5: Mongoloid is good, pretty groovy, and tells a good theme. 9/10 Worthy. 6: I can tell they're having fun with Jocko Homo, and it's cool, just not something I would actively listen to. 6/10. 7: Too Much Paranoias is pretty good, but it had a filler feel to me even tho they were changing some sounds around. 8/10. 8: I LOVE the intro on this Gut Feeling / Slap Your Mammy. This was good all around, and it really sped up towards the end. Def the best 9/10 so far. 9: Come Back Jonee is good, and pretty groovy. Not too many thoughts on this one. 9/10 (They referenced Johnny B. Goode so that's at least .5 more) 10: Funny one, but I can't bring myself to give it an 8. 7.5/10 11: Shrivel up was an interesting end to the album. Leaving us with the fact that we all age? I didn't really notice too many related themes to that in the album, but it's cool. 8.5/10 song. In all, nice intros but felt like too many songs weren't serious enough. Definitely their style, 7/10 album.

This is very self-aware new wave. Catchy, fun and at times a little too smart for its own good. Their cover of the Rolling Stones’ Satisfaction is clever but annoying on repeat listens. Devo tries to make being pretentious fun, and the idea of this record existing is better than actually listening to it.

I can deny local heroes Devo.

Fuggin classic. So original so weird so kick ass

The most rated band of all time. I feel like everyone shouts about how they are sleeper hits but they’re just popular, I’m not sure they were ever underrated, or at least have had their rating adjusted so much at this point that it nullifies it. This has the best stones cover ever maybe? I saw and have been listening to a lot of modest Mouse this week and this hits that same “guitar being used in a sparser way than usual and strange man yelling over everything” itch that I love about them. This probably went a lot harder when it came out (or when it was rediscovered later as everyone tells me). Mongoloid sticks out as a weak entry here but the rest is all enjoyable.

eh I thought I was going to enjoy this more than I did. There were definitely cool songwriting elements throughout the album, but there is only room for one band with this type of singing for me: The Talking Heads. My favorite song on this album was Come Back Jonee. I'm thinking a strong 3 on this

Unquestionably one of my favorite albums from this project. I only knew a couple Devo songs, but I loved every single song on this. 5/5 no notes.

Seriously it’s just noise. It’s not ‘groundbreaking’.

Not bad

Eh it's like a not quite as good combination of the B-52s and the Talking Heads.

Life changing album for me. These guys are STILL trying to warn us about the deadly sins of consumerism, authoritarianism, conformity, and wanking.

Talking Heads-ish but a little more punk flavoured. Not sure what to think of it, not a big fan of the vocals

Debut studio album by the American new wave band late 70s. Fun and quirky.

Crappy cover of Satisfaction non withstanding this was prettt good 3.5

DEVO is so much more than just “Whip It”. This was a super fun listen!

My first exposure to Devo was on Saturday Night Live in 1978, with the yellow hazmat suits and the red flower pot hats and a version of "Satisfaction" that was unlike anything I had ever heard before. Now, 47 years later, things don't seem as de-evolutionary aa they did to 10 year old me. I don't know if music has caught up to them, or I am just older. I still kind of dig it though.

Brought me back to my childhood. Good and bad. More listenable than I expected.

A solid 3. An enjoyable album.

Surprisingly this was good

Nej fy fan. Hatar den här typen av musik. Skrikig och skräniga utan något att se fram emot. Covern på satisfaction suger och övriga låtar är provocerande dåliga. Antar att det är grejen, medvetet avskalat. Hatar det oavsett.

Nej, det här var inte min grej. Började helt okej men blev snabbt sämre och sämre och mest tramsigt i min bok.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahYEAH! Devo is just so much fun to listen to. You start off with "Uncontrollable Urge," and just ride the coaster from there. I know their cover of "Satisfaction" is... hard to take sometimes (I played for my kid, who has a pretty open mind, and he walked right back out), but I dig it's quirkiness. Hearing "Jocko Homo"... I had heard "Weird Al" throwing it into one of his polka medleys first. So the original always feels weird to me. "Come Back Jonee" is a lot more punk than it has the right to be. Although most people know the few hits, this album really shows some of the stuff they can do. Really enjoyed it. Top tracks: "Uncontrollable Urge," "Satisfaction," "Praying Hands," "Too Many Paranoias," "Shrivel Up"

These guys are better than I thought they were and they are a clear part of the new wave and post punk evolution. I hear Blondie and the Talking Heads and even the Undertones (not American) in their songs. This album definitely has some fun parts; I'm just trying to sort out whether it was more up than down. Disc one is great. Uncontrollable Urge is awesome (so much energy) and I quite like their take on Satisfaction, especially the repeating of baby, baby, baby (and other word repeats). It's like The Sex Pistols' take on My Way - not as vulgar but their own twist. Praying Hands, Space Junk, and Mongoloid were also solid though it got weird on Jocko Homo (essentially the title track). Disc two wasn't as good but still solid, I think all of Too Much Paranoias, Gut Feeling, Come Back Jonee, and Sloppy are pretty fun and groovy. But then they end on another weird one in Shrivel Up. Still, a lot more ups than downs here. Like I said, they/this album are better than I thought.

It's like Talking Heads went insane. Love it. Every song is crazy, awesome, and fun. Super easy 5. Favorite tracks: Liked all of them, but I'll give the edge to Uncontrollable Urge, Satisfaction (love the story of Mick Jagger getting up and dancing to it when he heard it for the first time), Jocko Homo (crazed track - I can't help but think of how Weird Al included this in one of his polkas), Gut Feeling (much more straightforward - very cool song), Shrivel-Up (sounds like Primus...well, the other way around).

This was so simultaneously of its time and ahead of its time. On one had, this album came out in 1978 and that's insane. On the other, it's really clear that this album came out in 1978, mostly because of the slurs. My favorite song's title is a slur against people with Down Syndrome. For it's time, though, the song is surprisingly progressive, talking about how people with it are totally normal and have jobs and hats and stuff. That's the main word I'd use to describe the album, progressive. Both stylistically and lyrically.

A great Devo album. A great album.

Quirky and boring at the same time. Reminds me of talking heads but weirdly a little more listenable. I don’t hate it but I wouldn’t seek it out.

yeah well i don't know

I liked this. Got kinda bored through it but I wouldn’t be mad to hear it on if I was out and about.

Okay this was a weird album, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't quite enjoy it. It bounced around all over the place but never slowed down, 'Gut feeling' was a standout for me, 'Shrivel Up' was strange as hell but I really liked it's bubbly yet menacing sound. I'm definitely going to have to give this album a 2nd listen as I don't remember every song but just know I enjoyed most of them being on in the background!

I wasn’t expecting to like this, but the longer I listened the more I did. There are a few great tracks on here like “Uncontrollable Urge” and “Gut Feeling / (Slap Your Mammy)”, songs I recognized but never knew were Devo’s. As a whole, it’s still very much what you’d expect from Devo, but underlying the weird are some really solid beats. Favorite track: Gut Feeling / (Slap Your Mammy)

It's... something. +1 for influence.

I like this one enough, not a 5 since it's a little bad sometimes. But it's good fun Will I listen to again: 89%

The best.

Great album containing some of their quirkiest and best known tunes

Off the wall and hard to take seriously. Weird cover of satisfaction.

we are devo!!! 2.5 stars

Influential for sure but not exactly the most interesting album. Why are there SO MANY late 70s albums on this damn list.

A little cheesy and repetitive but definitely appreciate the roots of it.

Still find it too quirky after all these years.

So I did some reading on this album, because otherwise I didn't understand its inclusion on the list. And well, respect to Devo for being angry leftists churning out satire. They get an extra star for their Ramones-like vibe. Unfortunately, the thing about satire is that it has a tendency to fall completely flat if the context is not present... And in this case, not only has the context not been preserved, but it has all aged like milk. If I can't listen to a song in public (and I'm pretty sure, for example that the term "Mongoloid" has been out of fashion since before I was born), I don't think it belongs on a list like this anymore. But maybe it's just too deep for me, and I'm the de-evolved one.

This is objectively worse than the Beach Boys, but it's definately going go get a higher rating. This isn't about quality, or musicianship, or any of that. This is distilled idiocy and I love it. New Wave is bad, and I like to think it knows its bad. All of the jams could have been written by a kindergartener who's eaten way too much Halloween candy. If the bass player has to play more than 4 different notes in a given section, it's a record. The song structure has everyone thinking "are they lost?" "did they forget there's another part to the song?" "is there even another part to this song?" Yes, some of the songs are bad. Some are offensive. Or both! But since I only have two brain cells, some of them make me grin. I want to believe his cover of Satisfaction has Mick Jagger rolling in his grave--he's not dead either? Rolling in his vampire casket then. The B-Side can fuck right off though. That was a waste of time that knocked us back to 2 stars. 2.8 for the A side, 1.5 for the B side.

Really fun! And still as good as I recall from last time I heard it, Devo took me a while to enjoy but their weirdness and absurdness are the best part of their music. Specially in this album more than stuff later I think

How have I lived this long without giving Devo a listen? A few of these sounded familiar, but the only song I knew for sure was the Satisfaction cover, which I love. It's much better than the original! So many other great songs on here, I can see as well how they would be considered very influential. Quite like Talking Heads, but with even more energy. I'm giving it a 4 for now, but could see this becoming a 5 for me over time.

Probably more of a 2.5, but still not very into it.

It's got some hits. Jams.

Whew! That was a lot in one sitting. Cool album. But it feels like being yelled at after awhile.

Surprise hit! Liked it.

I can't carry a tune or play an instrument, and yet I feel like I could have done a better cover of satisfaction. That was painful. In general too quirky for my taste, and this album doesn't even have whip it, which at least the video made me laugh. 2.

A classic from my youth! I loved everything about Devo when they hit the music scene. Devo didn’t just bring a unique style or vibe — they were a conceptual shockwave, a full-blown eruption of image, irony, and identity. Devo was THE proto-MTV band.

Not for me. 1/5 - SC

Weird, wonderful, and awkwardly aged.

Very good - so many ideas for a debut album. A band I never looked into in any detail but will now.

I knew only Uncontrollable Urge going in. Kind of punk, a little funk, and weirdness. I'm guessing they were influenced by The Talking Heads? I kinda dig it, but it's good that it is short because I could see it wearing out its welcome with more songs. I won't mention that one song that isn't on the album.

Hold the lettuce, hold the cheese. More Devo, please! Every song is a lemme here that spanker again!

Goofy ahh album. Honestly super fun to listen to, even though it's totally wackadoo. Fuck it! Fave songs: - Uncontrollable Urge - Mongoloid - Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin') - Shrivel-Up

Not for me

The first album that I was familiar with in my list.

Instrumentals are nice but vocals are lacking. Songs have a new wave sound that is unpolished. 3/5

Entertaining. Whip It is way overplayed but I appreciate Devo's aesthetic. 3.5/5

Devo is always fun until it becomes annoying. 3 stars or C+.

Honestly. This was great. I did enjoy this.

Quirky and kind of fun. The instrumentals are generally interesting. Although the singing can be sometimes grating. Pretty pleasant overall

I've known it for a long time. I love it. It's a classic. ARE WE NOT MEN we are devo

Well... I just don't have many words I think... Similar to this album. I was just resting listening so it was actually quite peaceful, and I feel like unactively listening is very nice, but if I was in the mood for some really awesome music, I would not choose this.

Seems appropriate to bring up the de-evolution of mankind these days. I grew up on "Whip It" but was mostly confused by the rest of their material as a kid (and that video for "Satisfaction" freaked me out a little) - the soulless robotic/machine-like aspect of the music wasn't something I was ready for when I was little but honestly exactly all of exactly that - the weird and disjointed and absolutely ungroovy aspect of it - is nearly perfect. Love it. 8/10 4 stars.

Straddling the space between punk runk and new wave, Devo delivers. Each instrument seems to mix together just right. Very good album.

Fun and energetic, has those angular guitar riffs and jerky Rhythms similar to talking heads and other bands of the time. It's more weird though, maybe a little too weird for my taste to be on regular rotation.

This is a great album name and cover. Their approach is unique and sets a bar and tone for sure. I'm not as blown away by it as I expected but it's worth a listen.

Something about their vibe is like a guy that entertains themselves by annoying others. That 1980s newave voice. Not a fan of the Satisfaction cover. Good production value. Devo belongs on the list, this album just isn't for me.

This is an awesome, innovative album by a crazy talented band. Came out in 1978 but was a blueprint for what would come in 1980s post-punk alternative underground rock. Brian Eno and Mark Mothersbaugh are both geniuses! 4⭐️

Now we're talking! I've been a huge fan of this wonky-pop classic since I was about 18. Just brilliant stuff. Favourite tracks: Uncontrollable Urge, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Praying Hands, Mongoloid, Jocko Homo (that 7/8 time signature is TOO good), Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy, Shrivel-Up.

Some of it is unlistenable gets better near the end.

Wow! This was weird. More art than music. I appreciate that these dudes did whatever they wanted and didn't care what anybody thought. Get it boys.

Imagine the balls it takes to take one of rocks quintessential cool songs and cover it in the most uncool way. And I'm doing so, make it incredibly cool in a completely different way. Devo is all punk in style. Damn expectations, damn coolness. Let's be angular. Let's make weird sounds. Let's sing the Burger King motto. Their declarative Jocko Homo stretches out like Bohemian Rhapsody, changing rhythms and tones, doing odd time signatures and riff counts, all to the backdrop of the call and response "Are we not men? We are Devo!" Uncontrollable Urge is a top tier punk track and a hell of a way to start off an album. These guys are the most confident dorks I've ever heard. And they paved a way for future dork bands like Weezer and Pavement. Every second of this was weirdo gold.

While I get the cultural significance of this album, it’s a tough listen compared to their later music.

It feels terrible to label Devo as a one-hit wonder band because of that one song with the music video where they wear those nipple hats. If their debut is anything to go by, they certainly shown enough talent and creativity to warrant more than one song. Granted, I feel like Devo walked so the Talking Heads can run, but it’s hard to imagine what new wave would be without this. It’s a perfect mash-up of surf rock and classic sci-fi that comes off as genuinely catchy. There’s some good weird shit in here, from Space Junk to the deconstructed cover of I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction). Hope the list makers saw more potential in Devo to put more on here. Favorite track: Jocko Homo Other hits: Uncontrollable Urge, Praying Hands, Shrivel-Up, Mongoloid, I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction), Space Junk

Nice one.

LOVE Devo. 5*

Splendid! We are ALL Devo! Ground breaking album. Classic whether you like it or not. Major game changer in the scope of modern rock.

A surprisingly fun listen - that ends with a bummer of a tune with the creepy and silly “Shrivel-up”

Eh, it's fine

Classic Devo zaniness. I like Devo, but they’re not generally a band I’ll sit down and listen to; think you’ve got to be in the mood to want to listen to a whole album of theirs, otherwise it can be quite relenting. Still, they do what they do best and the production on this album is top notch.

Had a bit of an up-and-down experience listening to this album. Certain tracks were good, but others were pretty subpar. Devo's schtick involves a lot of being quirky/weird, so it's not surprising that their debut album would contain some off-the-wall stuff. While it succeeded at being odd, not all of it succeeded at being good. The flaws showed up early and reappeared throughout. It's good that the album was as short as it was, since I think any longer and it would have grown sour. It was getting grating enough as it was. For the most part, I liked the musical compositions on the album. It had traditional rock/pop components to the songs, with guitar, drums, bass, keys, and vocals featured. Though not completely similar to contemporary rock and pop acts of the time, the songs stayed true to the general song structure you might expect. What they did in those constraints definitely felt different, however, even decades later. The attempts they made at standing out were clear. For me, the hardest part to like was the vocals. Even where the song was strong musically, the vocals detracted from it. I'm not sure exactly why; they seemed too theatrical or intentionally over the top or something. It didn't happen on all the tracks, but when it was bad, it was really bad. I also didn't love how the album was constructed. Putting the cover of Satisfaction as the second song was probably a mistake. It felt like it should've been buried toward the end, or left off entirely. I also didn't find it to be a good reimagining of the song (side note- this is the second style-shifted Satisfaction cover I've gotten, and I haven't liked the alternate in either case). Some of the songs toward the end actually felt stronger than earlier songs, and I think I may have appreciated them more if I had heard them earlier on. I found this to be another instance where an album is carried by its high points, but overall not very strong. I'd guess that it is remembered for those high points as opposed to being celebrated as a whole work. As I've said before, the album as a whole is what matters for evaluating it's greatness. Here, the good parts are outweighed by the rest, which ranged from fine to not so good. It stays above "bad" territory, but isn't better than OK for me. Overall: 2.4/5

It’s Devo! It’s a great album!

Court, punché, nerveux et singulier.

3.5/5. Who sanctioned them hats? Having a song called Mongoloid is insanity.

Enjoyable, influential, but I feel like I missed the point in my life where Devo would be exciting for me.

Always loved this album.

No me he guardado ninguna canción. Este grupo siempre me ha parecido un chiste. Sé que tienen sus seguidores y su importancia en la historia del rock, pero yo no consigo olvidar que todo tiene pinta de falso y hecho como una broma.

I think I prefer Devo in smaller doses. A whole album from them is a lot. "Uncontrollable Urge" is such a good song, but the rest is a little uneven. Not a bad album, but not one I'll listen to much either outside of a couple songs.

This album was very different at the time especially for an American band. Jocko Homo is still the stand out track.

3.5

Some nice punk elements in the album but otherwise totally skippable. One of the worst Rolling Stones covers I've heard.

Really weird album but fun! I like a few of the songs on here a bit, others don’t quite hit but it’s something nice for the background. 3 out of 5 sounds fair, it’s got a talking heads feel I think I like.

p416. 1978. 2 stars. Soulless US electro rock. Once heard, immediately forgotten.

A bit sexists, but good vibe

4. We are DEVO.

There are two kinds of people in this world: fans of Devo and those who don't understand Devo. We are all Devo. Personal enjoyment: 5/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

It was fun and quirky to begin with sure, but it just began to piss me off after 20 minutes in

Better than Coldplay

Ridiculous, wild, barely music, wonderful.

Fun album with a pretty good cover of Satisfaction.

In it's time and today, Q. Are We Not Men?, Devo's debut album, is one of the most unique offerings in tbe world of weird New Wave, or any rock album. Full of quirky rhythms, strange lyrics, and espousing the theory of Devolution, it is not for everyone. Only the truly cool will get it.

29/05/2025 I'm surprised how much i actually like this album.

I thought this would be a 5 but I wasn't feeling it all the way through. Still very good of course. But I guess I wish it was all more energetic and punk leaning songs, like Mongoloid and Uncontrollable Urge and Gut Feeling.

Great fun

kiepskie granie

This was a wacky one. Reminded me of Talking Heads, in a good way. I've always thought of Devo as a cheesy synthesizer band, but they're much more rooted in guitar/percussion than I thought. Dug it!

I thought I'd like this way more than I did. This is a far ways away from "Whip It". I had heard "Uncontrollable Urge" before and thought that was fun, but I'm not so sure about this. I guess I'm just not a Brian Eno/new wave fan. This was a little too experimental and out there for me. What the fuck was "Too Much Paranoias"??? "Space Junk" was a lotta fun tho. Also, their version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was NOT good lolol. Actual rating 1.5. Liked Songs: "Uncontrollable Urge" , "Praying Hands" , "Space Junk" , "Gut Feeling / (Slap Your Mammy)"

liked songs: More than a little silly, and a lot Brian Eno. Not a fan of the vocals. Or compositions. 2

Compared to yesterday’s album this one gets a 3. The parody on the album is good for a few songs but then gets a bit old.

Definitely not hip

This was dumb. I bet these guys felt real cool and edgy when they made this. They are this was stupid they just kept repeating stuff and it was really annoying. Everything about this album annoyed me.

never have understood the appeal of Devo-guess I'm just not cool/hip enough. and that's ok with me. another solid "meh" album

Your run-of-the-mill New Wave record without any noteworthy ideas. Plus, the singer is annoying. 2/5

Quality new wave, I don’t want to write a review rn

I went into this ready to hate but it wasnt that bad. I really cant vibe with the weird talk yelling brand of singing they like so much. And it drags for longer than I like. Outside that its fun, poppy, and good for at least one listen through.

Ye ye ye ye get’em Devo. Sounds like a lost Talking Heads album. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it having never really listened to Devo before. Jocko Homo got kind of grating but the rest is straight 🔥

Delightfully weird & manic, but not in a way where it really stands out above the crowd. A fun listen, though.

Great!

My name is evil michael

It’s pretty overrated imho.

kinda wasn’t feeling it at first but i actually find it refreshing

Didn’t blow me away, hard to put a finger on why/why not

Uhhh it was ok I guess… saw a review saying it’s like an inside joke you’re not apart of and I have to say that’s pretty accurate, very goofy, not necessarily bad but not enjoyable for me. I also felt like there wasn’t much to it, the vocals were also kind of annoying sometimes, the Rolling Stones cover was not very good aswell but certainly unique and in their style I have to say. Overall though a 4/10 still decent at some points I guess.

Sounds like the Rolling Stones but more electronic and experimental

On sent le ptit Brian Eno à l’oeuvre ici, ça clique pas autant qu’avec Talking Heads par contre, mais c’est une belle ride

This is the hundred fifteenth album I’m rating. I've only listened to Whip It, and I didn't like it. Adding to my Playlist - Nothing. Not Adding to my Playlist - Uncontrollable Urge, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Praying Hands, Space Junk, Monogoloid, Jocko Homo, Too Much Paranoias, Gut Feeling/(Slap Your Mammy), Come Back Jonee, Sloppy (I Saw my Baby Gettin'), and Shrivel-Up. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - A lot worse than the original. All in all I liked 0/11 songs. You know its bad when the best song on the album is a bad cover of an actually good song by a good band.

New wave pioneers. Quirky art ensemble with some catchy tunes. Solid album.

It's weird and it's subversive and best of all you can dance to it. The world needs more music like this.

That was a Fun record, with catchy and quirky songs.

There were definitely some good songs here: Uncontrollable Urge, their cover of Satisfaction, Gut Feeling. Overall it was a zany and weird album, but fun for sure. Don't think it reaches 4 status, but it's a solid 3 for me.

I really only know Devo from Whip It! and Uncontrollable Urge. From both, I fully anticipate a kooky (in a good way) ride. I always found Uncontrollable Urge to be a silly song. I still think it is, but it is undeniably fun. Borderline rockabilly in tone. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction is such a fresh interpretation of the classic Stones song. Doesn't make any attempts to replace the original -- re-packages it into a completely different framework that works entirely on its own separate kooky level. Jocko Homo is an interesting one -- a parody of anti-evolution philosophy written to some interesting time signatures that invert midway through. Too Much Paranoias is goofy, but enjoyable straight through -- stand out to me. Gut Feeling / Slap Your Mammy is about as straight a cut as this album has given so far and it is delightful. The vocals might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think they work so well (similar to how David Byrne works with the Talking Heads). Man I absolutely love Shrivel-Up. The bass reminds me of Primus and the whole thing is wonderfully weird. After a single listen, it is safe to say this was a hell of a lot of fun. Heaping doses of kookiness that is interesting from start to finish and is wonderfully concise at just under 35 minutes. This was fantastic. Gut Feeling is this is just below 5 territory, but I will be back for sure.

Reminds me a bit of Talking Heads at points. This one finds itself on the low side of 3.

What a whacky album. Had some fun songs that were also straight up weird. Can't say I love the studio version of Devo, but apparently they put on one hell of a live show and am seeing them at Shaky Knees this year so pretty excited for that.

ENOOOOOOOOOOOOO I for one am very excited to see these guys in Ocean City later this year. Pretty silly but refreshingly unique stuff. Gut Feeling is such a fun song. Shrivel-Up has a pretty spooky vibe to it. This gets a 4 for being crazy unique and weird that it confused me on what to give it. Would probably go 3.5 if that was possible.

Grateful. Devolution. Understood. Brevity. Inventive. Fun. Q: is this not a great album? A: yes. Thanks, Devo.

Jättebra om man omedelbart vill ha huvudvärk

So fun musically and with some interesting lyrics as well.

..

Strange album, but in a good way. Very unique sound. Overall it’s good. 3/5 Might listen again

This was terrible. I can't believe there are people out there who would have purchased this album expecting to be entertained. I can't believe the band could write this and think it sounds good. Many of the songs just sound like a bunch of kids mucking around with instruments in a high school music room. It only gets a 1 star because I can't give it a 0.

Surfer/indie /electro weirdness. Funky baselines, odd everything else. It was an interesting listen, but not something I can see myself delving into anymore.

Undecided if this is a 2.5 or 3 star can’t figure out if I thought it was alright or not. Very distinctive, never heard of them before

I enjoyed this, but I do not revere it. There is so much fun to be had, so much energy packed into every corner of this album. I also had the realization that this is basically David Byrne all amped up and fast-paced. The opening “Uncontrollable Urge” is recognized by all people my age as the Ridiculousness theme song. “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” is an interesting cover that’s unique and separated enough from the original that it’s worth a listen. I appreciated “Too Much Paranoias”, as it leaned into the spirit of this record - high energy, high chaos (for pop standards). The same can be said for the passages of hollering towards the end of “Gut Feeling / Slap Your Mammy”. I’d pick that song as my highlight of the album. Maybe it’s not to my taste, maybe it’s a matter of time and place, but I wasn’t jumping for joy after this one was finished. I think many people hold this album in high praise, and I can sorta see that. I respect it but dont love it

It's aight

Pretty fun

Smithers, have the B-52's killed.

Devo is stupid, so it’s easier to just give in and enjoy the weird ride. There are plenty of catchy tunes along the way to not make you go insane.

Happy, breezy New Wave goodness, just quirky enough to make you smile. The unhinged cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction" remains the highlight for me.

This I call a shtick, and I go to parties where many people who attend have a shtick, so it's very close to my heart. It's also the 80s-style hard-on-the-ears sound that caps my love for Devo. Also your hat was on my old Whip-It canister, because coincidence is funny.

Devo is such a fun band and this debut album is full of catchy tunes.

Not fun!

No Satisfaction listening to this

Couldn't bring myself to relisten to it. A little bit painful despite being a very creative and unique album.

Really fun and rad. Punk, post-punk, new wave, oddball avant-garde, dumb and smart all wrapped up in one. Must-listen #127.

Ah yes, the weird rock project that is Devo. They are weird and out there, and that’s okay. It’s alright. Not really my jam.

I liked this ok. I like how up tempo it is, but listening to it at work got a bit grating after a while. At some point the sound is just kitschy just for the sake of it. Good for an occasional listen, but I wouldn't want to hear this all the time. Also, why is Tom Brady on the cover?

2/5

The first half of this album was fun, but then it turned. The song became the same and couldn't distingush from the next

Very fun! A great opening track, a fun little cover of Satisfaction, and off to the races for a zany good time from start to finish. I love the energy. I can hear their influence on post-punk revival bands like The Futureheads. The most purely enjoyable album in this game so far.

I'm very torn. This damn app doesn't allow for half stars. Is this a 4 star album? Or is this a 5 star album? My gut says it deserves 4.5 stars but that's not an option. This is a real Sophie's choice... but worse. My only real criticism of the album is they could cut a song or two... and not because those songs are bad. They just don't live up to the classic level of the rest of the album. The problem is they're both right at the end which leaves the album on a strange note. For that reason... I'll give it a (see star number below). This album has everything I want in a rock album. It's catchy. It's weird. It's funny. It's abrasive. It's original. It sounds good. It has variety. It has a strong point of view. It has great album art. The intros to every track are iconic. And it kicks the ever-loving piss out of whip it. I wish i had discovered it at 16 instead of 26. When I make music, this is what I aspire to create. Highlights: Uncontrollable Urge, Space Junk and Come Back Jonee are just so catchy Jocko Homo is hilarious with it's "are we not men?" chorus Their rolling stones cover is so great and weird. I really believe that these men are dissatisfied. Mic jagger on the other hand is doing just fine... satisfied even. I love the dissonance of Too Much Paranoias Gut Feeling is just a rollercoaster I never want to get off Mongoloid and Praying Hands... they're just great fuckin' tracks Stop what you're doing and listen to this album.

Really enjoyed the front half. It helped to supplement the listening with watching a live performance from this time. I found the frontman to be a sneaky strong singer. Alas, it kind of got stale for me by the end. Happy to have gone on the journey, nonetheless. I can now say with confidence that "I get it"

I want to preface this by saying that I think Devo is cool. With that said, cool albums aren’t always super palatable or listenable… and that’s the case here (for me). I love how punk rock and subversive this album is and I wish I could give it a higher score but…I was super burned out by the second half.

Wild record. Not the best start to finish but has some crazy tracks throughout. This would have been so crazy to hear in the 70’s just from how different it is. Future synths. Rigid but fast guitars. Weird/bizarre lyrics/vocals from the guy who wrote the sims soundtrack later in life? Nice

Q: Are you women? A: No, you're Devo.

I'm really not a fan of new wave. There are a few good songs on this album, but a lot of it is weird (Eno produced the record, so that explains that. He ruins everything he touches). Just another band that could be a clone of Talking Heads. Lame. And my fuck did they ever butcher the Rolling Stones song (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Favorite songs: Uncontrollable Urge, Mongoloid, Come Back Jonee Least favorite songs: Too Much Paranoias, Jocko Homo, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Shrivel-Up 2/5

Mongoloid // 2.5/5

1.9 Oh god. I never thought I'd hear a New Wave/Avant Garde cross over, nevermind it making the top 1001 albums you need to hear, but here we are. Went as well as you'd expect.

meeega fed. Mere postpunk end new wave. Jeg hørte den to gange, det har jeg ikke gjort med et nyt (for mig) album siden Sparks. Space Junk 👌👌👌👌

Eneste problem med den her bog er at der ikke er nok new wave. (Det her er nærmest mere punk end new wave, men også en af de der plader hvor det er lidt skørt at diskutere genre. Det er pisse sjovt. Fremragende plade.)

Sounds crazy. By for the best "new wave" we've heard - I think it fits more in a punk box.

Meh. I have a pretty rad picture of me in 2005 with this record as my face which makes me want to like this more, but I don’t love it!

Alright bum

we are not men 💅

ok devo you win

7/10

Fun, psychedelic. Wasn't sure if some of the songs were covers. Reminded me of B-52s. Probably wouldn't go back to this unless I wanted some weird music to party to, which I imagine was kind of the point.

Devolved

Really enjoyed this album, with the exception of the lyrics of the 5th track. I'd written much more about this but somehow I failed to hit save so you're gonna have to do with this

Certainly would be right there in the 1001 if the category were Quirky As Fuck. If you were a fan, then you're strange but that's fine by me. Enjoy. I didn't...

Still a great sound

Tried a few times with this record over the years and failed to make it all the way through. This time however I did and found myself enjoying it more than I thought. Especially the latter half.

gut feeling, whadda banger

Ratings: 5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background I'm just slightly too young to have caught Devo in their late 70s / early 80s heyday. Every listen I found I enjoyed it more than the previous time. This is somewhere between a 3 and a 4 right now...I'll round up to a 4.

Don't care very much for this.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeyeyeyeyeyYEAH THIS IS SHIT gets better track 5 great name

Meh

Q: Is this not good? A: Yes it is

So many GOATs from Akron, Ohio

still so baffling to me that eno produced this, i love the stories that the band hated everything he said to do and just waited for bowie to show up to remix the album. anyways its one of the best of all time

No thanks, not for me!

This project has made me realise I'm not really a big fan of new wave, but this was ok. It's got enough weirdness in it to appeal while falling short of the more funk and world music inspired Talking Heads.

Nope

THIS SHIT ROCKS! THIS IS MY JAM! THANK YOU DEVO! Fav ones: Uncontrollable Urge, Mongoloid, Gut Feeling.

No Whip-It here, but some good new wave.

Fun, artsy and weird. Everything you think of when you think Devo.
