Produced byBrian Eno, 1978sQ: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!was a seminal touchstone in the development of American new wave. It was one of the first pop albums to use synthesizers as an important textural element, an innovation that began to lay the groundwork for the synth-pop explosion that would follow.Q: Are We Not Menalso revived the absurdist social satire of the Mothers of Invention, claiming punk rocks outsider alienation as a home for freaks and geeks. WhileDevosappeal was certainly broader, their sound was tailored well enough to that sensibility that it still resonates with a rabid cult following. The album featured some ofDevosmost memorable work with Uncontrollable Urge, the incredible cover of (I Cant Get No) Satisfaction, Mongoloid and Jocko Homo.
