CURIOUS CORN

With their new members settled in after Become the Other, the Ozrics turned out another capable but comparatively safe album. The trancey opener Spyroid might make you think they are taking on even more influences from dance music than before, but it isn't too long before things are back to business as usual. The production values are decent with a few hiccups - for instance, at points on Afroclonk the electronic drum sound seems particularly thin and unconvincing. On the whole, if you already know and love the Ozrics you know what to expect, if you don't already you might want to steer yourself towards their masterpiece, Jurassic Shift, for your introduction to the band.
