Pasadena is the fourth studio album by American rock band Ozma, released in 2007.[1][5][6]

Production

The album took five months to record and was mixed by Matt Hyde.[5]

Critical reception

PopMatters wrote that the album is "more like Weezer's green self-titled album than anything, eager to live up to an ideal and doing a good job of it."[2] The Los Angeles Times called the band "underrated," writing that the album is "more muscular and mature than the crunchy power-pop that gained Ozma a large Southland following over its first three albums."[5] The Northern Express praised the "well-written, catchy indie compositions."[7]
