It's title being a direct reference to the brain was perhaps an irony to fans left underwhelmed at the time, yet over the years this album has become warmly regarded a hardcore fan favourite, especially among those who were there to witness this record mirror an end to the excessive Eighties. Whether you're a true believer or have just come to your senses, Smooth Noodle Maps will show you the way.Inspired by the concept of chaos theory, a theme inherent in de-evolution itself, Smooth Noodle Maps paralleled the bands own dissolution of order, yet the albums tight conceptual elements (the artwork featured animations of chaos motion developed by an actual laboratory) and arthouse pop make this a record hard not to love. Though it may have foreshadowed a hiatus for DEVO, Smooth Noodle Maps is a joyous enigma, a record demonstrating a stronghold of captivating tunes such as 'Stuck In A Loop' and "A Change Is Gonna Cum', undoubtably hits in another time and space, whilst simultaneously playing off the arch humour and observation found on 'Jimmy' and 'Post Post-Modern Man', all dusted with the intelligent foresight always expected of the band.This year, FUTURISMO give every truly discerning DEVO fan the out of print release they've been been craving, the follow up to last years Total Devo Deluxe - a limited pressing of Smooth Noodle Maps Deluxe Deluxe. Each gatefold LP set includes 2x180g limited edition coloured vinyl in the choice of 'Brain Drain', 'Postmodern Chaos' or 'Donut Glaze' as well as a 2xCD gatefold digipak version. Included alongside the original album are remixes, demos and unheard tracks unearthed from the archives. The records come in a die-cut gatefold sleeve that enables an interchangeable cover, it contains a huge double sided poster with unseen pictures and new liner notes by Gerald V. Casale, plus a sheet of cut-out finger spinners.DEVO's Smooth Noodle Maps Deluxe is an essential addition to the collection of any spud stuck in a loop! This March it's time to get smooth... only while stocks last! ## Images ![Smooth Noodle Maps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IplqN9gbL.jpg) ![Smooth Noodle Maps - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y9dnv3OPL.jpg) ![Smooth Noodle Maps - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UQJA86jCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for this Devo Fan! *by P***N on August 3, 2020* As a person who owned the original Smoothnoodlemaps on Cassette tape I was so happy to receive this deluxe 2 record set (several weeks earlier than anticipated no less) The extra LP with remixes, demos and instrumentals were a great listen and it was fun to revisit the original album which I felt the public and some spuds even slept on the first time around. The packaging is a work of art. If you already bought into this fine album, the extras are gilding the lily but very very appreciated! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overlooked album that is as good as any of their previous ones. *by C***M on May 19, 2021* Great album. Too many people forget that they made more albums than what came out in the eighties.Devo Has Feelings Too, Stuck In A Loop and Post Post-Modern Man should have gotten as much airplay as Whip It. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Underrated, better than its reputation *by T***2 on June 28, 2017* As usual, Devo's latter albums of the 20th century aren't quite as good as their 1970-1984 era. But the reputation of the latter two albums isn't as good as the music itself.Devo's latter two albums have one thing in common: Their 2nd tracks ("Disco Dancer' (for "Total Devo") and "Post Post-Modern Man" for Smooth Noodle Maps (SNM)) were singles when other songs should have been picked. As with "Baby Doll" for "Total Devo", "Stuck in a Loop" is the song on SNM that needed to be a single. It's got a catchy beat, but unlike "Baby Doll", which is more mainstream, "Loop" is classic Devo right out of the box.Post Post-Modern Man is indeed a great song. Loved the video as well, which consciously brings up Devo's own past (as microcosm) as part of the song's point. But "Stuck in a Loop" edges out for me."Morning Dew" - definitely another must-listen-to track. It's the first song since "The Fourth Dimension" (Shout, 1984) to feature a riff from another song, whereas "Day Tripper" was used in "4th Dimension" to great effect, but for "Dew" the riff occurs after the line about a newborn baby is sung. With harpsichord to really sell a gloom and doom feel juxtaposed against noticing the shiny happy newborn baby! I don't know the name of the song but the tone and riff involve death. Chances are you' ll recognize the riff even if you don't know the song it came from.Upon research, "Morning Dew" was Devo's cover of a Grateful Dead song involving nuclear Armageddon. TBH, the Devo cover is one of the best, has aged far better, has the right pacing and tempo, and the Grateful Dead original also lacks the riff. Devo's take on "Morning Dew" simply has to be heard. And it makes for a great return to Devo innovating when compared to 1998's "Don't Be Cruel".The Big Picture, Dawghaus, and Devo Has Feelings Too are fun little ditties.The other tracks are hit and miss that depend somewhat on individual expectations and tastes. But are definitely Devo.A shame this would be their final album. Listening to their 70s and 80s works and how they were influenced by and how they influenced the industry, the 1990s might have been a lot more interesting with Devo around. Glad they came back in 2009...So until 2009, SNM would be the last new Devo album. Sales were probably low at the time but there's clearly life left in the band. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smooth Noodle Maps - Total Devo --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/102843105-smooth-noodle-maps](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/102843105-smooth-noodle-maps) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
