Duty Now for the Future is the second studio album by the American new wave band Devo. It was originally released in July 1979, on the labels Warner Bros. The majority of the songs on the album had been performed in Devo's live set as early as 1976.

Complete your Devo collection. 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.

Duty Now For The Future. I had this album on vinyl back in the late 1980s, then recorded it on cassette so I could listen to it in my car. I haven't heard it in about 20 years, yet when I spun it over the last couple of days it sounded as fresh as ever!! A perfect second effort by DEVO coming betweeen the seminal Q: Are We Not Men? A: We are Devo! and Freedom of Choice, their masterpiece third album.
