Become the Other is an Ozrics album recorded following a mild disruption to the band's lineup, with some members leaving to concentrate on Eat Static, which had previously been a side project.

I suppose it's understandable, then, that the group decided to say in comparatively safe territory - albeit with a few more dance music influences than usual, and it's this latter influence, used to particular shimmering electronic effect on Wob Glass, which adds a new flavour to the Ozrics formula on this album and helps save it from being yet another rehash of their admittedly highly flavourful space rock formula.

On the whole, it's another collection of reasonably entertaining compositions, but between the impression that the band are playing it safe a little and the production quality, which is a mild step down from the gorgeous sound of Jurassic Shift, it's not an Ozrics album I'd steer newcomers to the band to. Nonetheless, on relistening I find that it shows more evidence of musical growth than I had previously given it credit for.
