I love how Ozma's first three albums are a trilogy of masterpieces. These guys carried the torch after Weezer's Pinkerton, and they perfected the sound of California emo-ish power pop rock that no other bands have been able to do. Spending Time On The Borderline is Ozma's most mature and musically adventurous album. Sure, there are songs with lyrics about unrequited love and young adult angst, but many songs tackle adult themes such as boredom with work and life, and there's even a song on here about 9/11. Game Over and Spending Time are the most typical of Ozma, and they are infectious and fun to listen to. Curve in the Old 1-9 and Wake Up feature musical twists and turns that are genius. Ozma show how talented and truly brilliant they are on this album. Star Wick also contributes beautiful backing vocals throughout this album. Turtleneck Coverup and Bad Dogs are the most aggressive songs on here, and the way Ozma use lyrics on those songs are a bit different for them.

Utsukushi Shibuya is a pretty song about unrequited love, and it brings me back to the school crushes that never happened. The chorus of that song is so gorgeous too. Then, the finale, Light Years Will Burn, is just epic and amps me up! Every band member is on fire on this album, and the guitars are especially creative and they rock out with killer solos. I would love to hear this whole album played live. I seriously need to see Ozma and Weezer live before I die.

Overall, this album is a perfect masterpiece that caps off a wonderful trilogy of albums that Ozma released in their career. Their first three albums are some of my all time favorites.

As someone who is Mexican-American, Selena has always been a big part of my life. Selena's songs were the first ones I remember loving when I was just a baby, and to this day, I still love them. This was Selena's breakout album, which is sung entirely in Spanish, but made her a superstar beyond just the Latin music scene. Her voice is angelic and powerful, and the music accompanying her is very danceable and masterfully played. There's even a Spanish rendition of the song "Back On The Chain Gang" here, in the from of the song "Fotos y Recuerdos". Selena's version is way better imo.

This album also features many of Selena's most beloved songs, such as "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", "No Me Queda Mas", and "Techno Cumbia". This entire album is legendary, and it showcases the immense talent that Selena y Los Dinos had. There has never been a pop artist as iconic, mesmerizing, and soulfully beautiful as Selena, and I think she could've been bigger than Madonna had she not been murdered. Selena forever!
