Devo - Duty Now for the Future [Warner Bros., 1979]: 8.5 (high A-)


Way upped from "liked" upon umpteen more listens, and upon opening of my stubborn mind to the brilliance of the band, whom I had stupidly dismissed as novelty artists beyond the Eno-produced debut. I found a nice copy on vinyl (won it on an eBay auction, more precisely) for a decent price. But I'm still in the market for the CD remastered version (2010), if one shows up for a reasonable price one day. Or maybe they'll reissue it sometime? I like the album enough that I'd probably even buy one of those two-disc "anniversary" or "deluxe" editions that I usually avoid like the plague.
