''Boomtown'' was Ozma's first album in seven years following the [[2007]] album ''[[Pasadena]]'', the longest gap between studio releases for the band. The album opens with the song "[[Around the World in 80 Seconds]]," the band's first instrumental since "[[Korobeiniki]]" from ''[[The Doubble Donkey Disc]]''. "[[Nervous]]" is notable as the first Ozma song written by drummer [[Kenn Shane]], and the first to feature lead vocals by keyboardist [[Star Wick]]. "[[Out the Window]]" is the second Ozma song to feature rhythm guitarist [[Jose Galvez]] on lead vocals (the other being ''The Doubble Donkey Disc'''s "[[Immigration Song]]"). Also notable is that usual front-man [[Daniel Brummel]] only has writing credits on three of the album's songs. | ''Boomtown'' was Ozma's first album in seven years following the [[2007]] album ''[[Pasadena]]'', the longest gap between studio releases for the band.
