wow. back and better.
Ok go first caught my eye with their "one hit wonder" called "get over it" after that i fell for them. their first album, which is guitar candy, with the groovy riffs, quirky beats, sharp drums and innocent voice of that lush damian kulash Jnr. That was out in 2003. i thought they were over.
I was overjoyed, really ecstatic to see that there was a new album. and with two of the less famous members gone, and another two in their place, i was eager to find out about if they had changed in anyway. They hadnt. my dad even liked them. They are still my #1 band, and with that long awaited 2nd album it paid off.
They are more mature sounding, but i am glad to say they are still ok-go. (bad taste in wallpaper though. you'll get wot i mean if you have the album!!) get it, get it, get it! i wanna share them with the world!

Ok Go are guaranteed to melt even the stoniest heart. This album is a real gem - the first one's good too! - highly recommended. If you like Weezer, or any good American guitar-led rock/pop, you'll love this!
Highlights are Here It Goes Again, and A Million Ways - don't forget to check out their home-made videos on YouTube! I also loved The House Wins.
Honestly, this CD is *well* worth a tenner of your hard-earned cash. Buy it!

Oh No, the second album from Chicago-based foursome OK Go, is a splendid affair. The first four tracks open the album in a raucous crash of pounding guitars and thumping drums. Track five - Oh Lately It's So Quiet - marks a shift in rhythm to a slightly smoother feel, after which energetic punk alternates with lighter, more considered material, before the last two tracks close the album in an unexpectedly reflective manner.
Parallels can be drawn with The Hives and The Vines; Oh No is packed with catchy, stomp along numbers and sharp lyrics which seize the ear and leave you with excerpts fixed in your mind long after the album finishes. There is just the right mix of racing, ballistic power rock and thoughtful, introspective harmonising to keep the interest running through the full forty-minute set of thirteen tracks.
In all, the band executes a glorious array of styles and demonstrate a capacity to provoke thought as well as energise and uplift. In fact, this album is almost too polished; too slickly produced and too tidy. It feels like a precise execution of musical and commercial nous - even the album notes are exactly calculated so that every inch of space is used and every band member photograph is unerringly in-keeping with the ruffling, arty style of this effort. It is a wonderful collection of memorable melodies and pompous, smashing rock eccentricity, and if they had deemed to fit to slide onto the CD the notoriously imaginative and creative videos to A Million Ways and Here It Goes Again, it would be even better.

Oh No, they did the impossible
They surpassed the standard of their last album and created an album so fun and so beautiful you can't help but listen to it non-stop. I was so satisfied with it!

Ok Go Excelled Themselves!
Ear candy of the finest quality. An album full of fun and beauty! I didn't think it was possible to surpass the quality of their first album, but they did!
