I believe the reason there hasn't been a more recent comment since 2003 is because later that year Rhino released the DVD "The Complete Truth About De-evolution", which cannibalizes several sources including "We're All Devo". Because they were unable to use the brilliant "Are You Experienced?" video due to the objections of Hendrix' family, it may be a very long time (if ever) before they reissue those video packages in their original states. (No one objected to them covering the song--that was freely circulated. The video showed an actor playing Hendrix rising from a coffin, Screamin' Jay Hawkins style. Since you'll never see that clip through any legitimate outlet in the foreseeable future, that may or may not count as a spoiler. Anyway, his family complained and Devo's complied with their request to delete it from future packages ever since.)
If you're a younger person reading this because you've just discovered the band, "Complete Truth..." may be your best option for finding the material everyone else has been discussing here. Their astonishingly prescient vision of America actually came true in the Reagan era; the fact that they were the only ones who saw it coming means Devo has earned all our respect.
