Although OK Go will forever be known for their insanely well-known "Here We Go Again" treadmills video — don't make me link to it, again — the band should get props for being remarkably consistent in terms of all their video output. This one-shot, recorded live video by director Brian L. Perkins for "This Too Shall Pass" is kind of a "what if" collision of the Take-Away Shows performance video aesthetic, but with the Notre Dame marching band and a bunch of Swamp Things. It might not one-up "Here We Go Again" in terms of impact, but it's indisputably great. And further proof that OK Go is severely underrated. --> watch "This Too Shall Pass" [why doesn't EMI allow YouTube embedding?]
