Action! (Oh My God Album)

''The Action Album!'' (also known as ''Action!'') is the second studio album released by Oh My God.

Reception

In a three-star rating for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann said "the band seems to have been listening to a couple of decades' worth of Midwest art rock predecessors ... and in their lyrics they often take a quirky, ironic tone sometimes reminiscent of Steely Dan, that is, when they're not being deliberately obscure". He also noted that the band "is in no danger of reaching a mainstream audience with such work, but there is a more limited audience for the avant-garde that will enjoy it".

David Lilly of ''Louisville Music News'' opined that "in a nutty music shell, this is a CD of keyboard-based rock candy for the ears. For the most part, the lyrics seem kind of sketchy to me, but generally speaking, it's a fun record". Dave Cataldi, music director at Franklin Colleges WFCI included the album on his top ten list of best albums for 2002.
