Freedom of Choice (stylized as F R E E D O M O F C H O I C E) is the third studio album by the American new wave band Devo, released in May 1980 on Warner Bros. Records. The album contained their biggest hit, "Whip It", which hit No. 8 and No. 14 on the Billboard Club Play Singles and Pop Singles charts, respectively. Freedom of Choice peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.Background[edit]Devo had amassed a sizeable following after the release of their first two studio albums with Warner Bros.[1] However, after the band's second album Duty Now for the Future (1979) was not as well received, the label presented the band with a "make or break" ultimatum for their forthcoming third album.[5] Warner Bros. told the band that if sales didn't increase with the new album's release, the label would terminate their contract.[1] Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh later contended that Warner Bros. threatened the band's manager Elliot Roberts with litigation if Devo did not achieve chart success with the album.[6]While the material on Devo's first two albums mostly consisted of old songs written between 1974 and 1977, the band decided to compose all new material for the upcoming crucial third album.[7] The songs were written after the band had completed their second world tour.[8]The creation of Freedom of Choice saw the band now living in Los Angeles and choosing to start from scratch.[9] The band rented a space on Wilcox Avenue in Hollywood that had been converted from old abandoned storefronts in which they would compose and rehearse new material.[6][7]
