Similar to my experience with Pasadena when it came out, my music tastes have moved on a bit from Ozma. Not entirely. My first impression of the album is that it's well done. But I'm not really into a good half of the songs. However, the ones I do like, I like quite a bit. This is just first listen, however. We'll see about the future.

On a related note.. Never Know reminds me a lot of the water levels music from Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Which is not a bad thing at all. I love that track.

I'd just like to point out that I am the first person listed in the Special Thanks.

You're welcome, Ozma. You're welcome. <3

I'm really enjoying it.

"Girlfriend You're The One" sounds like Daniel Brummel doing a take on a Green Album b-side--
and I mean that in the best way possible. I think it's great. Love that drum-fill into the solo.

Over the years my taste has changed some, but so has Ozma's sound. I feel my taste changed in the same direction and at the same time a different direction as their sound has changed. I love seeing how they progressively been developing their style.

That being said, I have been playing this album over and over. It has been growing on me quick. Each time I listen to it I like it even more. I love it. I personally feel that this entire album does what only the last half of Pasadena does. Jose's, Star's Singing, Daniel's and Ryen's lead vocals song's all are unique, but in a way that everything fits and blends together nicely together. Oneness....(^_^)

It is a very well put together album.

Aw man, I knew they were making a new record, but I never saw all this pledge stuff.. I'd like to give them money for music now.. how do I make the Ozma happen in my ears..??

amish · February 24, 2014, 12:09:46 PM

Album is available tomorrow I believe for digital purchase. Probably in the usual places, iTunes etc.

noonchild · February 27, 2014, 11:43:45 AM

amish · February 27, 2014, 04:38:45 PM

these forums used to be more active back in the day. Anyone going to see them next Friday? I'm going and bringing the gf and a friend. I'm sure the show will be great.

Casey L. Carr · March 22, 2014, 01:07:09 PM

I'm still impatiently awaiting the shipment of my physical CD copy.

same... haven't gotten mine yet either. More excited for the t-shirt than anything though.

Kyosho · March 25, 2014, 02:46:02 AM

FWIW, my initial reactions of not being into "a good half of the songs" is no longer true. There isn't a song on there I dislike. Certainly some that grab me more than others, but overall, this is a really solid album.

cesarsalad · March 26, 2014, 02:02:12 PM

There's a couple of choices I don't like very much, like the end of You'd Think I Know (starting with the scream and solo). Besides that the album is catchy and quite good. Nervous is a very good song!

youknowthestory · March 26, 2014, 05:40:20 PM

Boomtown is great! Could not stop listening to it when it was initially made available. My favourite song off the album changes every time I listen to it because they're all so good.

For those of you that pledged for a t-shirt, have you received it?! Getting antsy lol

noonchild · March 27, 2014, 06:08:28 PM

Kind of silly but I haven't listened to it yet... I'm saving it for East canyon.

Jordan · March 31, 2014, 10:08:54 AM

I'd like to purchase the album digitally, but would like to do so using the service/method that gives Ozma (preferably all, but at the very least) the most money. Also, DRM free. Would that be bandcamp?

8600 · April 05, 2014, 02:44:36 PM

yes. bandcamp takes out very little $$$

gregor · April 18, 2014, 01:49:14 PM

I have been listening to this since right before the cruise. I haven't stopped. I'm liking every song, especially "One Wish".

Rome · June 15, 2014, 09:47:18 PM

for being a pledger, I haven't listened to this album more than once or twice. for no good reason. time to spotify ozma tomorrow during work

Martha Gail · June 30, 2014, 11:02:50 AM

For being a pledger I still haven't received my package. Sigh.

amish · July 01, 2014, 04:42:58 AM

Really? Odd, have you contacted them?

Martha Gail · July 01, 2014, 09:10:33 AM

Yeah, I talk to Jose about it every week. Apparently my package is in his trunk.
