This is such an underrated album. My Dad introduced me to this band when I was like 9. I'm only 5 years older now but I can't help but make old connections to this band. After all I was like 2 months old when he took to a show of theirs. And to be honest I almost cry every time I hear Natalie Portman, Even my dad said it touched him the first time he heard it. Would love to see this get more love.
I found Ozma by accident. Their song 'Baseball' was mislabeled as Weezer back in the day of Napster (or maybe later with bittorrent). Own this album on cd and the double donkey disc
Same for me. Downloaded "Weezer's" Baseball on someone else's computer, and when I got my own computer I looked for it often for a few years to try to find it again. After I gave up I randomly discovered Ozma in a friend's collection, and my mind was blown hearing that long lost gem again. Can we just take a second and acknowledge how many great non-album Weezer songs there were at that time?? I cut a bunch of them out and still had 2 full CDs that I listened to all the time in my car.
About 70% of these introduction stories to this band has something to with band, I mean this is basically weezer so not really that much of an accident

Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of Weezer, was quoted as saying "Ozma is more Weezer than Weezer". Ozma opened up for Weezer a few times. I just google fact checked, because that's how I heard it over a decade ago but this is the fact... Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo chose "Domino Effect" as the first song on his iTunes picks. Cuomo called the song "Ozma beating me at my own gam I saw Ozma live back in 2003, and I was so close that the Daniel (vocals/bass) with his big mop of hair sweat on me! The whole band signed my tshirt!
I like to joke that Rock and Roll Part 3 is the 3rd best Weezer album (Blue, Pinkerton, RRP3). But that feels like I'm short-selling this masterpiece, this truly is one of the best rock albums of all time.
I’ll never forget my older sister Michelle buying me this album after they opened for Weezer back in the early 2000’s. The pre kung fu one as well where In Search of 1988 and Last Dance were the same track 10. I remember missing the majority of the Get Up Kids set talking to Danielle while smoking cigs outside after their set. I’ve been a huge fan since and love a appreciate all the amazing music over the years! It’s always a blast 💥
@@shurbrrt they used to claim it and redirect it to lunchbox by mi6. Maybe they fixed it but still messed up on the label accidentally labeling rocks as the mi6 song.
Absolute perfection. I can only listen in small doses at this time, it floods with me with memories and emotions and I’m taken back to a different time. Top 5 album ever, I love you Ozma.
Personally, I usually stop after Battlescars. That classical guitar of the domino effect melody is just the perfect ending, imo. It makes the two tracks that follow seem kind of disjointed. Plus, "you've missed your last chance" is so depressing, that I don't like to end on it, if that makes any sense.

Praying that Weezer's 20th album sounds just like this
trust in rivers everything will be alright in the end
@@Meadaa I think everyone lost trust as make believe
That ship has sailed

I Also Play The Seven String Guitar And Am Working On Buying A Bass Soon.😁

If you like this band you might like Weezer, Car Seat Headrest, Jeff Rosenstock, and American Football

@@joelness yeah I’ve got dozens of them. Maybe even 100. Summer songs 2k is a great collection
I wonder how many of us stumbled onto this band in the same exact way lol

Pinkerton 2: Revenge of the Sexual Frustration
Too fucking true.
The blue balls album
Pinkerton but better
This deserves a billion trillion views and likes and I hate 6 people I don't even know for disliking it.
battlescars hits everytime
Probably the best song I've ever listened to.
@@SebastianRau true
@@SebastianRau 10000000000000000%
the best album of all time right here
That’s what’s I’m saying
It’s up there for sure
Top 10 for sure
This is how I feel with pretty much any Transatlantic album
I dont if its better than pinkerton or just as good

Absolutely phenomenal record
I love weezer and now i have found an album that i love just as much as any weezer album!

@@celticmoose33 it truly is awesone
love this album. Baseball and Battlescar. the emotion man. that's what makes great music
Baseball still makes me cry, almost 20 years after I heard it for the first time.
After the intro I expected to hear Rivers Cuomo's voice 😳 been a Weezer fan since 1994 & I'm listening to this album for the first time in 2024.
everyone who hears this loves it huh?

I found them on the Charlotte NC leg of that same tour!
glad to see the band agreeing that Domino Effect should be removed from the album, shame to see it be put back in tbh :/
Only the OG Ozma CZcams channel fans will understand
ogs know what's up 💯😤
@@King-ty7mz I don’t get it
Whats wrong with domino
@@andrewoid4711 still waiting for an answer. What's wrong with domino effect?
I still see that king fu records is claiming this video for having an Mi6 song. Very strange.
it redirects to rocks for some reason, too.

Baseball gotta be one of the best songs EVER
Masterpiece album. Ozma's for the boys
OZMA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I drove from Minneapolis to Los Angeles with my buddy to see these greats perform this album and I'll never regret it. Amazing memory, amazing show.
I saw Natalie Portman in a commercial today... so logically I had to revisit this. my wife thinks I'm so weird.
I don't get it. Could you connect the dots for me?
@@CornDogAnimations 11:58 track is "Natalie Portman"
this record changed everything
this album makes me scream and cry and sob and scream i love you ozma
One of the regrets I'll take to the grave is never getting to see Ozma live. Greatest band of all time
Put this on Tidal
Seriously
The last two songs are underrated
OZMA FOREVERRRR RAAAAAHH❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
those were the days...
This is suuuuch a cozy album to come back to every once and a while, its perfect, i mean come on its just banger after banger
I love this album. One of the few happy albums I would play during my Modest Mouse phase.
Jermey Path
Battlescars was the first song I learned bass to for obvious reasons
I love apple trees so much
Will still be listening to Ozma when im old and using a walker.
Battle scars is so touching, especially around this time of year
名曲👌
是的
if i had one for giving...
Incredible. Truly a masterpiece.
This is truly a magnificent album…totally underrated.
Saw y'all live in 2000ish. Great time, wish all the best!
Ulices Mill

Eyyy
Pinkerton v2???
Nah that's Boomtown
Loved this album!
Bashirian Mills
So good
One of my favorite albums :D

top 10 oat
dang I forgot in search of 1988 that was great too. I really felt it. times were simpler well except for the cold war and nuclear oblivion

@@JK-gm6kk huh, i just dont listen natalie portman and battlescars, never quite got to liking them.
@@user-ox1rm1dc5b Finally some speaks my language bruh those are the least good songs on the album
@@user-ox1rm1dc5b cmon man. i used to think that about natalie portman but it grew on me so hard. there's nothinggggg iiii can doooooooo
This sound like Pinkerton 2.0
So good.
trynna find my future husband in an ozma comment section 💯
sup
me came here from half past two domino effect cover, ur guys sound amazinggggg, more cool melody than weezer
Wait WHAT
Everything you said is correct, but do you own the yellow t shirt?
If the Killers wrote Pinkerton
If I was Weezer I would sue this band
For being better?
@@AdolphSaxOfficialLOLLLL
Just makes me want to listen to Pinkerton instead.
This is better
Oh, buddy.
This is spoken from someone who deems Pinkerton an epitome album from Weezer. Only recently discovered this band and, oh, buddy.
Both are masterpieces.
Or listen to both amirite?
