the reason why Ozma got back together.......2007-07-06

This is it. Ozma took a short break, but this music simply has to be heard by everyone. Ozma can't escape comparisons to Weezer, but if they would have come released an album first then everyone would be saying that Weezer sounds a lot like Ozma. Neither is stealing each other's sound, they just both happen to be from soCal and have similar fanbases. It doesn't matter.

If you have been searching for the raw essence that Weezer captured on their first two albums, don't buy the last 3 Weezer albums, buy the last 3 Ozma albums. I always hope that the next Weezer release will be my favorite, and I love them all for the first few listens, but they never stick with me as classic Weezer did. The sometimes stomach-turning glossiness of recent Weezer productions is what Ozma avoids, trading it in for a more live-show feel. The best thing about Ozma's music is that you can never predict what the next chord will be.

Now that my Weezer rant is over, just buy this album and play it loud. The catchiest song is the opener, "No One Needs to Know". Some other personal favorites are "Fight the Darkness", "Incarnation Blues", and "Underneath My Tree". Perfect summer recording. Plus Star Wick is hot.

It just misses.......2007-06-25

Some things about the album are really surprising and some extremely disappointing. To start with, Ozma usually package their albums with PC extras, like demofs and videos. This CD has nothing. It really loses points for that! As well, it was a really cop out to re-record 2 songs from other albums that have no real place on the album. No One Needs To Know and Eponine do more harm than good. They completely destroy the flow of the record. I have actually deleted them from my mp3 player and the record is much smother.

For the songsc

I love Barriers. It is a great opening the album. The lyrics are kind of reflexive of the bandfs past, in my interpretation. Itfs a good song for the band. Great guitar.

Fight the darknessc well, I donft like this one so much. Musically and lyrically it is a step backwards. They could do soooooo much better than this! The song misses, big time. I like the drumming though.

Heartache is just amazing. The way the song begins is just breath taking. Itfs their best crafted song on the record, hands down. Again, great drumming, best on the album, but thatfs courtesy of the Rentals, who shine the most on this song. The Rentals actually did a lot work on this albumc check out the liner notes of the CD.

Incarnation Blues is another great one. Short and sweet. It reminds of Light Years Will Burn for their last release. Classic Ozma to me.

Lunchbreak, um, I just donft get it. I hated it at first, but it grew on me. There is a little bit of shadowing in the singing. gOne day I know you'll need to follow me (one day we'll go)h. I wish they did more of that. As a whole though, this is another song that just misses. I donft care for much of the lyrics and I find them a tad on the juvenile side. Ozma is capable of writing better lyrics. One needs only to look at STOTBL for examples.

Motorology 3:39 is a song I hated at first. This one grew on me and now itfs my favorite song on the album. I think they take an unconventional approach to the song, which pays off after numerous times of hearing it. I love the lyrics on this track. Lyricly, itfs a polar opposite of Lunchbreak.

I Wonder is ok, just ok. It sounds like a song I would expect to hear in a Wes Anderson movie. If youfve never seen a Wes Anderson movie, than I feel sad for you. Go out and rent one. I love the part that goes gyou can exist in a world without being a part of the world and somehow that's comforting when you're not where you want to beh.

Underneath My Tree is another song I didnft like at first, but has grown on me like a fungus. All around a great song, and should have closed the album. Unfortunately it doesnft.

Straight Flush is a mediocre end. I donft think the song would improve (itself or the album) if it were moved to another place on the album. There is not anything specific I donft like about the song. I just think it doesnft gel. It might have been better if this one hit the cutting room floor.

About the album as a whole, I really asked myself why does it sound so different than the other albums. Then I realized that the whole album lacks bass. There is week bass sound and no stand out bass lines, unlike every other Ozma album. Where is the bass?

I feel the album is more miss than hit. I canft always say why, just that it misses. They try many unconventional approaches to songs, which pays off in the long run, in that makes the album less boring and formulaic.@However, this doesnft always work and when it fails itfs abysmal. It feels like they too hard to things differently, gone against the grain of what the songs would be. 3 out of 5 for Ozma. Hope they aim higher on the next release.

Great come back album........2007-06-13

For new and old fans of Ozma, this CD will keep you rockin'. Two of the 11 songs are newly recorded versions of older classics ("Eponine" and "No One Needs to Know"). The majority of the songs have up-tempo rhythm and lyrics that are a blast to jam out to. Some songs will jump out as Ozma style songs, but they do branch out a little (i.e Straight Flush). While their previous CD had lackluster sales due to poor marketing, this new album should do decent.

I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is interested in Ozma, or just looking for some real music with heart in it.

Ozma return and they haven't missed a beat.......2007-05-17

As teenagers, Ozma recorded the perfect geek rock album in Rock and Roll Part Three. It grabbed the attention of Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, and they gained a number of fans by opening for Weezer on a nationwide tour. Ozma followed up that album with two more excellent records, The Doubble Donkey Disc and Spending Time on the Borderline, but sadly, they broke up in 2004. To the delight of their fans, the power pop quintet reformed in 2006 with a new drummer. Does their first post-reunion album (named for the band's Southern California hometown) live up to the high expectations of those diehard fans? For me, the answer is a resounding yes.

Oddly, two songs, "No One Needs to Know" and "Eponine," are re-recorded versions of tracks from previous albums. This was due to pressure from management, who believed these songs would make ideal singles. They're both great songs, and the new versions sound tighter than ever, although "Eponine's" shortened outro is a disappointment. On the nine new songs, Ozma branch out their sound considerably from their earlier records, and it pretty much all works. Some of the new stuff is good, like the quirky pop rock of "Lunchbreak (Cobras Theme)." Some is great, like the beautiful acoustic ballad "I Wonder." Some is so amazing it makes me giddy, like "Heartache vs Heartbreak," the first Ozma song to feature shared male/female lead vocals. Other highlights include the incredibly catchy "Incarnation Blues" and the cathartic-sounding "Underneath My Tree." If you like anything Ozma have done in the past, or if you just like great power pop, buy this album now.

awesome.......2007-06-21

first off, if you dont already love the melvins, then dont buy this album. Buy houdini first. this is a fan favorite album. This is what melvins fans wanna listen to.
Great album. sudden stops and heavy drunk sounding music is what i like.

only buy this album if your a fan of the melvins already

Good to go back.......2006-01-30

I started getting into Melvins after seeing the video for Hooch on Headbanger's Ball. I got Stag and then Stoner Witch, and liked them all, except for some of the experimental tracks on them. After reading the reveiws I decided to get some of their older material, and I am glad I did. Nothing experimental here, and all good tracks. I recently purchased several CD's, so I haven't given it much play yet, but I know I will.

Oppressive but good..........2004-11-18

I must say having heard of these guys for years, it was about time I checked their music. And where better to start than their first 2 albums helpfully combined on this one disc. Note: Ozma is actually the band's 2nd album, and Gluey... the first.

This album(s) are not going to be to everyone's taste, very murky, sludgy punk-metal, in the vein of latter day Black Flag, with touches of Black Sabbath and St. Vitus. It is very hard to listen to at times as it is oppressively slow, but have patience and you will find it a very rewarding listen. I would highly reccomend it to anyone with an open mind.

pure and refreshing.......2004-10-11

It's a lot of fun to hear music that wasn't created with the burden of any inhibitions, and that is why I have nothing but good things to say about the Melvins and this particular album (actually 2 albums). Like the majority of us outside the Pacific Northwest, I was turned on to the Melvins courtesy of Kurt Cobain in the early nineties and I bought Houdini. Houdini is good, but this would have been a more appropriate introduction to their music and I'm glad to finally hear their music from the ground up.

when you know you know.......2004-01-26

i've been studying these songs for years and still getting more from them, the parts, the grooves, the performances. straight from the heart and balls these songs lay down depth and reality of expression that any other committed artists of any medium strive to achieve but don't realize that they aren't even worthy and can't possibly understand or grasp the power and directness. this is purity of expression in music that is so bold it'll pass you by unless you are also worthy. in 100 years there will still be those who know about it, and there will still be few who can take it or understand it. as it's said in this compilation, "are you ready for your tenure? ... take your time to unleash."

Album Description

Yes, this is the little pop band from Pasadena who, without an agent, manager, or record deal of any kind landed the opening slot on the entire 2001 U.S. WEEZER / GET UP KIDS tour. How did they do it? With amazing songs. Rock And Roll part 3 is that same collection of amazing songs that allowed Ozma to achieve the impossible. After selling over 4,000 copies on their own of what can justifiably be called a true indie masterpiece, Kung Fu Records is proud to release the album that started it all in a completely re-mastered form, with expanded packaging and enhanced CD features. Some say, "hey this sounds like Weezer." We say, "if you must make that comparison then think of them as a younger, cuter, Weezer; without the baggage." These guys (and one girl- the lovely Star Wick on keyboard) call it power pop-geek rock and have written some of the best songs written by anyone, anywhere, at anytime. They are that good. It is powerful guitar driven pop laced with perfect ! melodies that you can't help playing over and over again in your car, at your desk, or anywhere. It takes one play to love each song and be impressed by the lyrics but after a few listens it becomes hard not to throw around terms like "pure genius."

Customer Reviews:

BUY THIS CD!.......2006-08-07

If you love Weezer's first 2 albums, then get this CD by Ozma. It's really, really fantastic.

One of the most under-rated albums of all time!!!.......2006-04-24

This record is pure genius. Amazing songwriting, sweet guitar solos. Great vocals. If you want the best, you got the best.

Nice Little Gem of an Album.......2006-02-02

This band is frequently compared to Weezer, but quite frankly, Weezer hasn't made an album this quirky or this catchy before. That's not to say that Ozma is a better band than Weezer, they just write some catchy tunes!

This is one of my favorite albums to come out of the whole new wave/emo explosion from the late 90s.

Contrary to popular opinion..........2006-02-02

I hated this CD. Like, I really, really hated it. It reminded me of all the worst, most annoying elements of pop music. "Natalie Portman" and "Baseball" were pure torture, while the best of the bunch ("Domino Effect") was one I could never honestly call any better than "barely tolerable." I love Weezer, I love the Get Up Kids, I even love Rivers Cuomo's other pet project (AM Radio). I even tried to like this album, and I just couldn't do it. Apparently some people like it, but please listen to samples before you buy it.

Love Weezer? Love genuinely awesome music? You'll love this!.......2005-11-24

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for "geek rock" as my friend and fan of Weezer and Ozma has called it! Ozma is just one of those bands that can be a soundtrack to your life and really mark events in your life through their songs. Who can't really remember past loves or loves they have right now with a song like "Shooting Stars"? There is just a raw, genuine, and humble quality that has always kept Ozma alive in my heart (even though they're broken up now, which is how I heard about them ironically from Weezer's site). The guitars are tight and awesomely talented, the bass is soultry and heartfelt, the drums are rad and smart, and the keyboards are the right touch of retro to make any Ozma song just about some of the best darn songs out there! The vocals are shared betweem Ryen(guitar) and Daniel(Bass) although Dan usually sings. Their lyrics are heartfelt and awesome! This band is, or was, just plain special and impossible not to like. Very few bands like Ozma come and go, and they will live on in the hearts of all of us true music lovers!
Peace,
Ty

The damage that Weezer has wrought. .......2006-03-03

If sweater-vests could rock out, they'd sound like Ozma. "Spending Time ..." may remind you of Scooter lookalikes furiously banging their heads and giving devil horns.
Ozma got their big break by opening for Weezer. Both share the annoying capacity for blending guitars with cheesy 80's synths. The perfect example is the title track, which could've been used in a promo for "Joanie Loves Chachi."
Another similar trait is irritating, whiny vocals with no range. On "Eponine", and other tracks, there's a definite Queen influence, especially in the bombastic guitars. But the singing is so wimpy and lifeless, it'll make you appreciate how unique Freddie Mercury was.
Ozma are so bland, sorting out socks might seem more exciting. Or sweater-vests.

Pinkerton-esque.......2004-12-03

Let me begin by saying that this review was written after Ozma's 2004 breakup. This was, to say the least, quite a heartbreak. And since there's been plenty of apt time to reflect upon Ozma's debut and sophomore albums [yes, the ones that sound like Weezer], I can now undoubtedly say that "Spending Time On The Borderline" is Ozma at its best. To put it plainly...a masterpiece. Admittedly, when I first picked this album up and popped it into my CD player, I was NOT impressed. Ozma could have broke up at that very moment and my response would have been, "Who cares...they're no good anymore." But as albums do have a tendency to grow on you, I decided to give this one a try. After all, what did I have to lose? Slowly and steadily certain tracks started to pop out at me..."Hey, 'Come Home Andrea' is one catchy song!" And, "Whoa, this Japanese song sure is poppy!" Then there are the deeper songs on the album, like "Eponine", "Bad Dogs", and "Game Over". They take a bit longer to love, but the wait is certainly worth it. To sum it all up, there's not a single track on this album that I wouldn't want to listen to, anywhere, anytime. Despite the mysterious tension that corrupted Brummel and Slegr, I, for one, know that they went out [no pun intended] on a good note with "Spending Time On The Borderline". Another "Pinkerton"? Perhaps. But only time will tell...



*Ryan and José have started up a new band labeled "Yes Dear". Hopefully they can continue their largely unpublicized legacy. Check them out at myspace.com/yesdear

A disappointment.......2004-11-05

I bought this album because I heard that Ozma was similar to Rooney and Weezer (bands I think are good). Ozma sure does have some similarities in this album (though they're probably more comparable to a Christian band like Reliant K), but that doesn't make the album any good. The whole album is very boring. There's just nothing special to it. I recommend that you pass on this.

Great Guitar Pop.......2004-10-16

I think that Ozma is consistently one of the more "interesting" bands to come along. I do hear the Weezer influence, but at the same time it is filtered through a lot of other bands (Queen anyone?) as well as a lot of originality. The two part vocal melodies, instrumentation, tones, etc. are fully realized on this "studio" album. I like the whole Ozma catalog, but the production on this disc kicks all the other ones in the rear. As a guitarist, I have to hand it to Ryen. This is consistently one of the better riff orientated guitar albums that I have heard in a long time. He can also shred like a beast, but all his guitar lines support the song melodically and rhythmically. You can't ask for more from a guitarist. All the guitar is there for a reason. This is playing that I aspire to. It reminds me a lot of Brian May.

As for the songs, "Your Name" is one of the most orginal ballads I have heard in a while. I love "Bad Dogs" even though most don't. The lead on that song is exceptional.

Experimental yet excellent..........2004-02-29

Ozma definitely shows some maturity musically with this album. I did a review of this CD for my school newspaper (over 1500 studnents/staff/parents read the newspaper), so hopefully I can get the word out about Ozma to some people.

1. Spending Time - the band experiments with some guitar textures and spiffy synth lines. May take a few listens to get used to. 7/10

2. Your Name - good vocals, perfect melody. 8.5/10

3. Come Home Andrea - a vaguely Celtic, alt-country tune that even people who hate country will like. One of the best tracks on the album. 9/10

4. Bad Dogs - marching band percussion leads into a hard rockin' song. 8.5/10

5. Utsukushii Shibuya - great bass line, nice flute and strings. 9.5/10

6. Turtleneck - probably the worst track. nice metaphorical lyrics though. 6.5/10

7. Game Over - catchiest track. my personal favorite. - 10/10

8. Curve In The Old 1-9 - elaborate and brilliant, both lyrically and musically. - 9/10

9. Restart - another GREAT track. such a perfect melody. - 9.5/10

10. Eponine - fun to sing along to. very catchy. - 9/10

11. Wake Up - nice vocals from Rachel Haden (Jimmy Eat World, Nada Surf, Weezer). 8.5/10

12. Light Years Will Burn - not my favorite. still pretty good though. 7.5/10

Overall: 8.5/10

Definitely awesome.

R.I.P. Ozma <3.......2005-04-15

I would have to agree with Erik, This is some of Ozma's greatest stuff. This record has more of a fun vibe than RaRP3, though both being equally good, DDD really shines through with such songs as Flight of the Bootymaster and COntinental Drift. If you want some awesome music pick up Rock and Roll part three and DDD, you won't regret it.

Fetchin' sweet.......2004-08-01

This "album" is an incredible show of musicianship. I own all three of Ozma's discs, and many of their unreleased stuff, and I've gotta say that this is their best work.The keys are fine tuned and incredible, as is the painfully beautiful flute used on some of this album. This "album" comprises two EP's:The Russian Coldfusion EP and The Bootytraps EP

1. Flight of Yuri Gagarin - Not bad at all. A nice little intro to start things off and to kind of get to the theme of the rest of the CD. 8/10

2. No One Needs To Know - Basically a guy telling his girl to keep a few secrets. Ryen Slegr and Daniel Brummel's voices harmonize quite while on this song.8/10

3. Korobeiniki(Traditional Russian Folk Song) - You might recognize this tune. It's the theme from Tetris, but totally rocked out. No words, straight instrumental, but is it ever one helluva instrumental. 10/10

4.You Know The Story - Really good. The keyboard integrates really nicely in there, almost so you don't notice it but can't help but love it. Once again Slegr and Brummel harmonize very well on this one. 9/10

5. The Landing of Yuri Gagarin - This and track 4 run together to make kind of a super song. This is the last song of the Russian Coldfusion EP, and does it ever end it right. Drums are incredible, some of the sweetest I've heard. 9/10

6. The Business of Getting Down - Great. The lyrics in this one are really cool. I especially like the line "When I woke up this morning, I knew what I had to find/Somewhere there exists a melody that'll make you change your mind." 10/10

7. Maybe In An Alterante Dimension - The opening guitar is wicked tight. Goes from a rock sound to almost a blues riff in less than 30 seconds. One you can really jam out to. 9/10

8. Immigration Song - A bit slower, but still very nice. The guitar in here is pretty cool. And the drums keep a pretty good tempo. 8/10

9. Flight of The Bootymaster - Personally, this is my favorite song on the CD. I love everything about it, from the drums to guitar to lyrics. It's just all around incredible.10/10

10. Continental Drift - A good way to end the whole CD. Remember when I said how painfully beautiful the flute was when it was used? Well this is the song. The bass in this one, by Daniel Brummel, is subtle yet catchy. 9/10

Overall, it's a incredible CD. It's a must buy. Especially since the band has decided to call it quits, it's a great cd to add to your collection.

Most of their best songs are on here.......2003-10-06

I guess I'll start out by commenting about Weezer, since it's impossible not to. I've always maintained that Ozma doesn't so much SOUND LIKE Weezer, as occasionally sound like they are playing songs written by Weezer. I think both Daniel and Ryen are better singers than Rivers and everyone in the band is a better musician than anyone in Weezer. And, really, none of the songs on here sound like Weezer songs. The only Ozma songs that really do, I think, are Natalie Portman, In Search of 1988 (from the Blue album or Pinkerton), and Bad Dogs (by far the worst Ozma song, sounds straight off Maladroit). Anyway, I like Rock and Roll Part 3 more than either of Weezer's first 2 albums, and I like this at least as much as the Blue Album, and probably as much as Pinkerton.
That said, the only problem with this album is that it's not really an album. It's just two of their old EPs put together, and as such, is not really cohesive in the way Rock and Roll Pt. 3 is. Still, Continental Drift is my favorite Ozma song, and I like ALL of the songs on the last half of this as much as any of the songs on R&R Pt. 3 except for Baseball. The first EP on here is also great and right up there with the best Ozma songs. You can never go wrong with Ozma, in any case. I only hope they stick away from stuff like Bad Dogs in the future, or they'll go the way of Weezer.

ozma.......2003-06-09

Ozma is great, and what if they do sound a bit like Weezer? If that is someone's sole basis for not liking the group, then you must not be able to like any punk groups, seeing as most all of them have the same vocals and sound. This does not mean punk is a bad thing, nor does it mean Ozma is a bad band. On the contrary, Ozma is the most refreshing thing since Weezer if not more so. They also use more synthesizing than Weezer, giving a more original sound.

Have I heard this before?.......2003-05-20

I bought this cd because I thought it was right, even though I've heard all but one of the songs on this album courtesy of Ozma's free mp3 site...and Kazaa. I really admire this band for trying hard to be creative by adding fun little twists in their songs. They don't sound like another starry-eyed band out there to make money. The reason I like them is because they aren't bland like their more well-known pop/rock/punk counterparts...Their sound is totally unoriginal and by that I mean the Weezer-distortion. They've got the dials turned exactly. But that isn't a bad thing because they've got plenty more merit than a cover band. They're better than the last half of Weezer but fall short from the 1st half, the blue album and Pinkerton. These songs are poppy, witty and laced with pleasant harmonies. The last song, "Continental Drift," features the keyboard player, Star Wick, on flute. Although you have to wonder, doesn't she get bored playing those simple backing melody lines over and over again? I highly recommend this disk and Ozma's other two to people who enjoy Weezer, Jimmy Eat World and mainstream "punk." It just might raise your standards for good music.
