OZMA Vinilo y CD

Review: Originally self-released at the dawn of the new millennium before being reissued the following year by Kung Fu Records, Rock & Roll Part Three served as the debut album from emo-tinged geek rock power pop extraordinaires Ozma. Taking a nostalgia-baiting fuzzed out approach to instantaneously catchy, saccharine-hooked pop-punk embellished by the use of Casio keyboards, the LP would draw favourable comparisons to the likes of The Rentals, The Get Up Kids, and Weezer, with the latter even being compelled to take the (at the time) little known group on the road as their primary support for two nationwide tours across 2001/2002. Furthermore, Weezer primary songwriter Rivers Cuomo even selected the album as one of his choices when answering a Reddit AMA on what two records should every Weezer fan listen to (the other being The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds), so high praise indeed from the Lord of all things geek-rock.
