From the opening blast of "Invincible" to the defeatist strains of "The House Wins," OK Go's second album, OH NO, is a potent dose of pure power-pop. Here the Chicago band is paired with Swedish producer Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, the Cardigans), and the result is unabashedly high-energy rock. The group's Cars influence in still running strong, but OK Go wisely uses that sound as an engine to drive the group further into its own no-frills territory, where catchy choruses abound amidst bold guitar lines and propulsive rhythms. The Franz Ferdinand connection becomes obvious on the slinky "A Million Ways," which is a distant dance-rock cousin to FF's "Take Me Out." Led by vocalist/guitarist Damien Kulash, who often sounds like a more motivated Stephen Malkmus, OK Go knows how to craft immediately catchy tunes, and the record showcases the quartet's hyperactive talents to wonderful effect. For revved-up melodic rock with an edge, you can't go wrong with OH NO.   Compilation Appearances She's The Man Hello Radio: The Songs of They Might Be Giants Now That's What I Call Music! 23 In The Land Of Women Dig For Fire:tribute To Pixies I Love You Beth Cooper (Ost) 90210 Soundtrack Twilight: New Moon   Associated Artists and Works 2 in a Room 2 in a Room 2 in a Room 2 in a Room 2 in a Room 2 in a Room   Technical Info Release Date : 08/30/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 78800 Label : Capitol/EMI Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00724357880022   Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (No. 837, pp.79-81) - "...[T]heir sturdy hand-clappers deserve to be recognized for what they are: fresh slices of power-chord sunshine." - Grade: B    Product Image
