The band employed guitar instrumentation on the album, the first time in its recording career that it had done so.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]The Chicago Reader wrote that the band "go over the top of over-the-top: with heavy guitar added to their already comically heavy sound, the stadium-rock bravado of the arrangements would now make Freddie Mercury blush ... the key, though, is their underlying sincerity."[1]
Illinois Entertainer wrote that "from power pop bliss ('Two-Hand Touch') to punk aggression (title track) and bombastic hard rock ('Facewash') to psychedelic flirting ('Ancient Sanskrit Proverb (The Splendor Of Beauty)'), [Oh My God] never stick around long enough to set stakes in any one style."[4]
