The breakthrough. Containing the hit "Whip It," this album saw Devo embracing a more streamlined, "robotic" pop sound. The title track remains one of the most poignant critiques of American consumerism ever recorded. 4. New Traditionalists (1981)

Brian Eno’s production is highly layered. The lossless format brings out the raw, metallic scraping of guitars and the quirky, early-generation synthesizer bleeps that MP3 compression flattens. 2. Duty Now for the Future (1979) Devo - 8 Albums -1978-1999- -FLAC-

"Time Out for Fun," "Peek-a-Boo!," "That's Good."

Produced by Brian Eno, this debut remains a cornerstone of post-punk. In lossless quality, the frantic, twitchy guitar lines of "Uncontrollable Urge" and their radical reimagining of the Stones' "Satisfaction" cut through with a clarity that MP3s simply can't replicate. It was a manifesto set to a mechanical beat. 2. Duty Now for the Future (1979) Peek-A-Boo , Big Mess , That’s Good After

The sharp, staccato synth stabs are crisp, and the separation between the vocals and the electronic backing is stellar. 6. Shout (1984)

The early digital sampling technology used on Shout can sound brittle and harsh on poorly encoded files. A proper FLAC mastering retains the quirky, historical character of these early 8-bit and 12-bit digital samples, making their electronic cover of Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" a fascinating audio time capsule. 7.

After a four-year hiatus and a switch to Enigma Records, Devo returned with a purely digital sonic palette. "Disco Dancer" features booming electronic kick drums and heavy bass sequences.
