STOTBL
« on: November 21, 2004, 03:43:06 pm »
Hey everyone--

I hated STOTBL at first, but now it's Samuel!!! Another Pinkerton? Perhaps...I was just wondering if anyone else has given it a chance yet...

actually, I agree. if it weren't pointed out that it could be the next Pinkerton, I think it could('ve) be(en?) very possible. but if you tell people it'll be the next Pinkerton, they'll be less accepting. if everyone had said Pinkerton would be what it has become, it wouldn't have become what it is.

so, yeah, gee, great job on wrecking the public opinion of STOTBL, geneyass! you are a cup of irony, you know that?

I first heard the album, and listened in order. The first three tracks were at first very very disappointing. "Slooowww down" sounded out of key to me. It probably is. Other than the first three tracks though, I loved the album.

Now, I like all but track number 3. I love the words, they touch incredibly close to a time away from a girl named Andrea ;) but ugh, I don't like the song.

It's not out of key, it's just a weird harmony.

regardless of that, I still don't like how it sounds.

Funny, I've liked this album alot less over the past year. All the songs have just became kind of boring to me except for like the title track itself. Maybe it's because I listened to it on overkill when it first came out.

It is my opinion that STOTBL is Ozma's best record.  I really like the direction they were going with Your Name, Shibuya, Restart, Light Years, etc.

Some of my favorites.

And yes, I can't say I like "sloooowww downn" that 'harmony' very much, although I don't find it as horrible as I used to.

PS - Your Name is too short and says too little. Underdeveloped, IMO.

Ozma is one of the rare bands that evolved.  If you look at Double Donkey Disc then compare it to STOTBL the change is immense.  Some people like bands sticking to their sounds and not evolving, but in my opinion if they had done that they would have split up a long time ago.  Personally I liked what they evolved into before they split, in my eyes STOTBL was beautiful.

i don't understand why people think this post is a joke. i felt the same way about stotbl, it never fully grew on me. i still listen the hell out of ddd and rrp3 and even soitac.. but not as much to stotbl. it's still a fine album and i defend it, but it took a while for me to really appreciate it.

not to mention that the original poster is asking if people on an OZMA BOARD THAT STILL EXISTS MONTHS AFTER THE BAND'S DEMISE have heard the latest Ozma record which came out NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO!

They weren't asking if anyone has heard it.  They're asking if anyone who didn't like it so much at first (which was a significant number) has given it another chance.

i think shibuya's ok. that whole album is damn good, but i just have a problem with how they recorded it.... i don't know if anyone remembers, but i think in october or november of 2002, before they released stotbl, they gave a concert at the knitting factory when they ended with lightyears will burn. it was just so incredibly powerful and good, but the album version was lacking that. speaking of which, if anyone knows where i could find a bootleg of lwb before the album came out that would be so awesome...
 when i've seen ozma perform the title song they sound bad ass and full of energy, but the album version doesn't. same for game over and eponine.

that's the whole reason you go to see a band live. it's more badass because of the environment, seeing them on stage, and the sheer volume. people bouncing all around you to korobeiniki, lightyears, etc.

You cannot match Live Performances with Studio recording.
