"Maybe in an Alternate Dimension" by Ozma

 

 

 

I would first like to congratulate Ozma on their upcoming 5th studio album which is being released today to those who helped fund it via pledgemusic.com. Ozma is the product of five musicians from California who were inspired by nerd rock. What is nerd rock you might ask? Well, we would have to time travel back to May 10, 1994 with the release of the Blue Album by Weezer. This was the beginning of a new age of rock and roll, a time when being a nerd was cool and catchy tunes were all the rage. Flash forward seven years later to 2001 with the release of "Rock and Roll Part Three" by Ozma and it is clear to the listener that this band was full of talent and catchy tunes.  

 

This brings me to "Maybe in an Alternate Dimension," which embraces everything nerd rock is all about. This song reeks of nerdiness. It describes an alternate universe where you can hide away in a land of imagination. Link, the Zelda Warrior, guards the gates to your paradise and Zack the Lego Maniac is there to build Lego's with. The song is full of smooth riffs and catchy tunes that represent Ozma's musical catalog very well. I am looking forward to their newest album and will have a review once it is released.
