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 💥
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.
@@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.
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
@@SqueakyMcSqueaks bro unironically believes that White and OK Human weren't actual masterpieces
@@coolsodapop12 Havent listened to OK human yet, but I change my mind, White was fucking great

I wonder how many of us stumbled onto this band in the same exact way lol

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
This deserves a billion trillion views and likes and I hate 6 people I don't even know for disliking it.
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.
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
Absolutely phenomenal record
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.
Baseball gotta be one of the best songs EVER

I found them on the Charlotte NC leg of that same tour!
After a lot of years without listening to it, it has been like taking me back to 2002 (which is the year I bought it). Absolutely brilliant album
this album makes me scream and cry and sob and scream i love you ozma
Masterpiece album. Ozma's for the boys
One of the regrets I'll take to the grave is never getting to see Ozma live. Greatest band of all time
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.
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.
Pinkerton 2: Revenge of the Sexual Frustration
Too fucking true.
The blue balls album
Pinkerton but better
this record changed everything
Will still be listening to Ozma when im old and using a walker.
Battle scars is so touching, especially around this time of year
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
This is truly a magnificent album…totally underrated.
I love this album. One of the few happy albums I would play during my Modest Mouse phase.
The last two songs are underrated
I love apple trees so much
Saw y'all live in 2000ish. Great time, wish all the best!
名曲👌
是的
Incredible. Truly a masterpiece.
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"
those were the days...
love this so much
Eyyy
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 TH-cam 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?
OZMA FOREVERRRR RAAAAAHH❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
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.
@@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.
Loved this album!
Put this on Tidal
Seriously
Agreed
One of my favorite albums :D
