611. Ozma - spending time on the borderline

I actually caught the band live for this record - they were opening for Nada Surf. I hadn't heard the new disc yet, but once I heard "Utsukushii Shibuya" I fell in love with it. I don't have the english version on me that's on the record (can't get off my ipod actually), but below you'll find the Japanese version - still good. Overall the album finds the band expanding past the Weezer comparison, making their arrangements more complex, and songs ecclectic. I believe they broke up after this, and have recently gotten back together again - I think.
