Simply put, OK GO is guitar rock. The Chicago quartet produces toe-tapping quasi-radio singles which revolve around power and barre chord progressions. Guitar leads play off vocal harmonies and running bass lines stay in check alongside snare snaps and crashing cymbals.

What makes a truly great album stand out though is the ability to convey the same message throughout the album while simultaneously changing tempo and song styles.

Take “Hot Fuss” by The Killers. “Jenny was a Friend of Mine” is eerily haunting while “Mr. Brightside” stands as an anthem of lost love and desire. On the opposite end of the spectrum, “All These Things That I’ve Done” is a raucous feel good sing-a-long that just leaves the listener wanting more.

Now look at any album by Oasis. Half of the songs border on piano based ballads while the remaining tracks encompass blaring guitars, all while Liam and Noel Gallagher hash out their problems with one another through the lyrics.

The only true downfall to “Oh No” is the repetitive nature of the song styles. But it’s that feel-good tempo which keeps the album flowing and never truly receding.

While OK GO can produce catchy songs in a style they may one day be able to call their own, right now it’s a style they may find hard to “get-get-get-get-get-get over.”

So while The Killers sing that “Everything Will Be Alright” and Oasis tells us to “Roll With It,” OK GO tells you to “Do What You Want” and, while you’re at it, rock out.
