I have to admit, this album is such a fun album. I vividly remember SXSW 2009, I was at Austin Music Hall seeing Datarock perform and Devo was next. All the Devo-heads were out and about, wearing their Devo headgear and prepping for the show. As a matter of fact, here is a photo:
Anyway, back to the album. As of late, with all my ESPN watching, Uncontrollable Urge has been getting a lot of play, so in honor of all things wonderful in the world of sports, this pick deserves some playtime today. Are We Not Men? is Devo's debut album. A few talented artists of this time took interest in what Devo had to offer and I believe that is what made them the interesting group that they are.
Enjoy!
