High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Oh, No! It`s Devo is the fifth studio album by Devo. By the time of its 1982 release, Devo were a full-fledged synth-pop act, with New Wave pushed more towards the background. Most of the music on Oh, No! was created by electronic means which gave it a much different sound to, for example, their 1978 debut Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, which relied more on guitars than synthesizers. This alienated some fans despite the band stating since at least 1978 that their goal was to "de-emphasize" guitars. The album was produced with `big name` producer Roy Thomas Baker, who had famously worked with Queen, The Cars, and many others. In recent interviews, Devo`s Gerald V. Casale stated that the album grew from critical reviews in which the band were described as "fascists" and "clowns".
