Their music was decidedly counter-intuitive. It was weird, especially ''Get Your Goat'' and ''Pony Express Record''. It was music that refused to resolve something you already knew and was really beautiful and melodic and emotional. (...) Shudder made music unlike anything else you ever heard and was still poppy and beautiful and accessible. I think it convinced me that thereβs space for music to be interesting and challenging while still beautiful."<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 11, 2010 |title=Chalkboard Confessional: Damian Kulash of OK Go |url=https://www.altpress.com/chalkboard_okgo/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231126104142/https://www.altpress.com/chalkboard_okgo/ |archive-date=November 26, 2023 |access-date=September 22, 2024 |website=[[Alternative Press (magazine)|Alternative Press]]}}</ref></blockquote>
