Warner Bros. had told the band that sales needed to rise or the contract would end, and Devo turned to Robert Margouleff, drawn by his work with Stevie Wonder and Tonto's Expanding Head Band, to co-produce with them. The album was recorded and mixed in six weeks at the Record Plant in Los Angeles, with bass, drums and guitars played live together and the synthesizers and vocals added afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarner Bros. released it in May 1980. It peaked at number 22 on the Billboard album chart and was certified platinum by the RIAA in 1986. \"Girl U Want\" was the first single and did not chart; \"Whip It,\" the video above, followed in August 1980 and reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 8 on the club play chart. The twelve songs run 32 minutes and 14 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGerald Casale wrote the title song about the conservative political shift in the United States ahead of Ronald Reagan's election. On the cover, the band wear silver Naugahyde suits Casale designed, and the red energy domes were inspired by Art Deco light fixtures he remembered from his grade school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGirl U Want (2:55)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Not Right (2:20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhip It (2:37)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowball (2:28)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTon O' Luv (2:29)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom of Choice (3:28)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGates of Steel (3:26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold War (2:30)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't You Know (2:14)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's Pep!
