inb4 Ben with the "Ok go is not only here it goes again" excuse
OK Go isn't just Here It Goes Again. OK Go is only music videos - the tracks themselves have lost any sense of quality that they once had. They haven't put out a good album in 11 years imo.
It's also incredible to me how generic their early videos are:
I think of late OK Go's been far more miss than hit. Hungry Ghosts was actively bad and Of the Blue Colour Of the Sky was just really inconsistent and kind of average as a whole.
But yeah these guys became a household name for Here It Goes Again and with stuff like the "This Too Shall Pass" Rube Goldberg machine, the "Needing/Getting" Super Bowl Ad, and most recently that zero-g video, they still find decent recognizability in "oh yeah I've heard of them", but ask what people know them for and I almost guarantee they know the videos better than the songs.
Maybe it's an easy excuse, but I miss Andy Duncan and I miss songs lead by power pop guitars, not a fan of their style being so synth driven and they had a pretty good blend going that they just kind of ditched I feel like. _________________
I could never really get into any of Gorillaz' full albums, but they have some awesome singles: Rhinestone Eyes, Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc, Melancholy Hill, etc.
Coincidentally I have the same opinion about Blur pre-The Magic Whip, which is one of my favorite albums of all time. They have some great songs (Coffee & TV, Parklife, Girls & Boys, Tender, The Universal), but their albums are generally too long and have a lot of filler. _________________ These are my favorite albums right now.

Honestly I haven't really tried any of their full albums but yeah their singles are bomb. Especially Dare, which is like one of my fav songs.
Kasabian. They could probably release a pretty kickass best of album. _________________ "Drink beer, smoke pot, and create something that will storm heaven. That's all I ever really cared about." - Ron House

I LOVE Blur, and yet somehow feel the same way about them.
I think leisure and 13 are the only two that hold up as whole albums. But the singles are great across the board.
