Critics hated Devo at the time. But guess who got the last laugh! I prefer this album to "Are We Not Men?", which has it's own charms. Definitely worth having in your collection.

Sandwiched in between "Are We Not Men?..." and "Freedom Of Choice", it seems almost as though "Duty Now For The Future" is Devo's perhaps most overlooked album. Where's all the big hits? There's no "Satisfaction", "Jocko Homo", "Whip It", or "Girl U Want", that got all the airplay back then. Maybe that's why I like this album so much, is because it was not played to death on the radio. "Pink Pussycat", "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA", and the cover of "Secret Agent Man" are probably the standout tracks on the album, although I still like "The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize" too, which had a very strange video I've seen a few times. In my opinion, I think this is Devo's most solid and listenable albums, and it still stands up well after all these years.

Devo's second record is quite a departure from the racey edgy Brian Eno punk of 'Are We Not Men'. It is much more electronic (though equally as good) and about as punk rock as the time permitted. From the opening monotone drone of 'Devo Corporate Anthem' thru to 'Red-eye express' this is a very solid and at times comical album. The highlights here are Smart Patrol /Mr. DNA, 'Swelling Itching Brain'and 'Blockhead' that are rife with typical devo-izms, drug references, and anti-establishment thinking.'Pink Pussycat' with its 'meow meow meow' chorus still gives me a laugh. Devo were and still are eons ahead of their time and are perhaps one of the bravest bands ever. Who else took the risks these guys did?
Kirimath
Couldn't agree more! I believe this is Devo's best album, even better than the debut, underrated. After 30 years, I still listen to it often.
