Album Review

The anxious and modern children of indie rock and new wave, OK Go will always have something you can love. In 2002 it was a squelchy, three-minute summation of what made the Pixies great called "Get Over It." Three years later it's a savvy batch of songs that are probably too calculated for their own good — perfectly arranged like those natty suits the quartet wears in Oh No's photos — but too prickly with excitement to really ignore. As tense and bursting as it is hooky and efficient, "Do What You Want" sounds a lot like the Hives. But it could also be a sly and modern Escape Club. This continues with "Here It Goes Again" and "Good Idea at the Time," songs that cut too jaggedly to be opportunistic revivalism but still whir with new wave's wiggy energy. Fans of OK Go's first album will love "No Sign of Life" and the weirder "Oh Lately It's So Quiet," while "Crash the Party"'s 1000-watt tingle is more the speed of Oh No. Sometimes that speed does seem factory-set, though. "Million Ways" is where the album's calculated feel really surfaces. Its modified disco swagger and three-note guitar lead is so perfect for 21st century modern rock, so edgy and hooky all at the same time. (Keep in mind: Franz Ferdinand producer Tore Johansson also handled the boards for Oh No.) "Television, Television" too, with its trash culture referential lyrics and hyper rhythms, winks with a knowing sense. But what are you going to do? OK Go has written an album that coats its incredibly accessible nuts and bolts with an effervescent rocket sauce, and that's just the way it is. It's got that unique zing, the one that says "modern rock sensation!" on the label.

Customer Reviews

Oh Yes!

After a gruelling three year wait (Which technically isn't over yet in the UK) I finally got my hands on the new album and listened to it the first time... The first thing I noticed is that it's much beatier (If that's a word) than the first album with it's light hearted pop styled indie rock, and at first I thought that maybe It wasn't as good... but after a great pair of starting songs (invincible and do what you want), along came Here it goes again. This song holds all of the catchy hook lines and beautiful light hearted tuneishness of the first album, and still holds its place as my favourite/second favourite on my album depending on my mood. The album then hopped along at a nice pace for a few songs until it got to no sign of life... Now, I must say... there's not an ok go song that I hate... but this pulled me right out of my happy clappy dancing mood even though It tried to keep the beat going... It's a bit like Shortly before the end on the first album in the way that it throws you off track for the next song (If that happens to you... just skip it because the rest of the album is great!) I got nicely into the album again though with the beautiful let it rain, which shows they can do more than just poppy rock if they need to! The rest of the album then motors along nicely as well until we get to the house wins, which is my other favourite song on the album... It winds the album down nicely, taking me out of the bizarre super happy slightly gay mood that ok go puts me in and returns me to normal. Overall the album is pretty good, although I think they've slipped into more typical pop rock as opposed to the stand alone light hearted pop rock with catchy phrases and tunes that they had in their debut, this isn't a bad thing though as It'll probably appeal to more people. So If you heard ok go on the radio singing do what you want or a million ways, and want more rocky music like that, then stick with this album, but if like me you want a slightly more light hearted trip then go for the other... or hey, why not just buy both!?

Great album but...

iTunes stop putting popular tracks up to ninety-nine pence. We pay you enough money. It's pointless and rather greedy.

Brilliant follow-up

Ok Go are one of those bands whose rock comes so perfectly formed, so perfectly packaged and so perfectly infectious that you wonder why other bands don't just give up. With a tight hard rock feel, like say Weezer, but combined with a British wit and sense of humour, as well as some nice spikiness, this is the Arctic Monkeys turned up to 10 and in full command of their songwriting and playing. Oh No is the band's second, after a good level of success with their self-titled debut (and a hit single in Get Over It), and it mixes up the styles a little, with Prince-style R&B mingling with catchy power pop, and a Kendal Mint Cake level of energy throughout. The band clearly needed no gestation period - coming out of the stalls this polished takes some doing. That the sheer quality of the music on display in no way distracts from just how 'cool' this band sounds suggests they're also in charge of their sound.

OK Go didn't find an audience until 2005, when the band began creating homemade music videos to support their combination of off-kilter guitars, Pixies/Cars fetishism, and straightforward power pop sensibilities. Recognizing the growing popularity of websites like YouTube, the group shot a campy dance video for "A Million Ways," a song from their sophomore album Oh No. It quickly became the most downloaded music video in history, and OK Go won a Grammy Award for their...
