Solution: Alright, Proceed.

The puzzles gives nine seemingly unrelated phrases. The title of the puzzle, "Alright, Proceed.", is a hint for the band OK GO. Additonally, the flavour text is made up of three different OK GO song titles ("Here It Goes Again","Don't Ask Me", and "Do What You Want", which has two different music videos so I'm going to link them both here and here.

We can look up these nine phrases, and sure enough they are all lines from an OK GO song.

While it is specified that the redacted words are not involved in the extraction steps, the number of █s in each instances of the redaction matches the number of letters in the redacted word.

Line	Line (Unredacted)	Song
Oh ███████████ I'll never look down again, again	Oh skyscrapers I'll never look down again, again	Skyscraper
And you can't go back same way you came	-	White Knuckles
█████ing, ████ing, playing the crowd	Charming, hissing, playing the crowd	A Million Ways
'Cause no one's gonna find you	-	End Love
What the ████ is happening?	What the fuck is happening?	WTF?
You could almost ███████ it didn't just happen	You could almost imagine it didn't just happen	Obsession
'Cause if your ████ don't move and your █████ don't bend	'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend	This Too Shall Pass
Than the certainty that all of this will end	-	The One Moment
Aw, but there ain't much that's ██████	Aw, but there ain't much that's dumber	Needing/Getting

Here we notice a couple things :

- The lyrics all appears at different times into their songs, but overall relatively early.

- The given lines appears only once in each of their song.

So, we can find how many lines into the song do they appear at, then use that position to index into the song titles.

Line	Song Ttile	Position (Nth lines in)	Indexed Letter
Oh skyscrapers I'll never look down again, again	Skyscra[p]er	8th	P
And you can't go back same way you came	Wh[i]te Knuckles	3rd	I
Charming, hissing, playing the crowd	A Mi[l]lion Ways	4th	L
'Cause no one's gonna find you	End L[o]ve	5th	O
What the fuck is happening?	W[T]F?	2nd	T
You could almost imagine it didn't just happen	O[b]session	2nd	B
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend	This Too Sh[a]ll Pass	10th	A
Than the certainty that all of this will end	The O[n]e Moment	5th	N
Aw, but there ain't much that's dumber	Nee[d]ing/Getting	4th	D

Which spells out the answer --- PILOT BAND.

Author's Note

The choice to redacted some of the words was a weird one. Some of them were necessary (i.e. in the case of Skyscraper's line, because it contains the song's name), while others were just results of experimenting with how easy to get the correct result to pop up from copy and pasting it into a search engine. It's not the most elegant way to deal with it, but it's something. Plus, redacting out the swear word was a funny and cute idea.
