Rock and Roll Part Three is Ozma's first full length studio album. It was released by Kung Fu Records on August 21, 2001.

Music and Lyrics

Often classified as power pop or geek rock, Rock and Roll Part Three relies heavily on uptempo songs with distorted guitar and keyboards. Many songs on the album contain nostalgic lyrics and catchy choruses. Comparisons are often drawn with Weezer, The Rentals, and The Get-Up Kids. [1][2]

Allmusic 4/5 stars[3]

Bradley Torreano, writing for Allmusic, described that with this album, Ozma has "arguably written the best Weezer album of 2001 (and yes, the real thing also had an album come out the same year)."[4]

In an "Ask Me Anything" interview on the website Reddit, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo recommended Rock and Roll Part Three in response to what two albums every Weezer fan should listen to (the other album being Pet Sounds). [5]
