B-SIDES!!!

edited November -1 in OK Go
Hey, hasn't anyone ever wondered why OK Go haven't released any B-side albums? I was fucking blown away by the debut album- OK Go; pop-music that it's OK to dance to, but am not to sure what to make of OH NO. After having listened to it for a while, I have realised that it just can't be bad simply 'cos it is Ok Go, but there is no gradual evolution between the two albums. B-Side albums would have corrected this injustice, even if it ws just a little step on the way pop-rock perfection.

    I'm going to kind of disagree with you here. Yes, Oh, No is quite different in sound from OK Go. And yes, like you, at first, I was like, I'm not quite sure what to think of this...obviously, it's not bad, because it's OK Go, but I'm not sure what to think...

    But the more I think about it, the more I've listened, the more I've fallen in love with. And I think it is a total and natural progression from where they were when they left off with OK Go. Oh, No is clearly OK Go- but it's rawer, it's matured. It's like the guys got trashed on night, said, "Let's make a fucking record," went into the studio, and just rocked the crap out of the place.

    And Damian himself has said that. He's acknowledged the fact that OK Go was very much a studio project, and that Oh, No very much wasn't. And I think that accounts for much of the difference in the sound.

    So, yes, listening to Oh, No after having listened to nothing but OK Go for the longest time was a bit jarring and at first it seemed not to make sense, the more I've listened, the more I've realised that it does.

    But, yeah. A B-Side compilation would kick ass.
