Aunque se coincide básicamente en cuanto a gustos, OZ queda rápidamente caracterizado por el eclecticismo y la contundencia rítmica; poco a poco se van introduciendo matices melódicos hasta encontrar al fin un sonido compacto más o menos deseado. Lo que está claro es que OZ esta en constante evolución; nunca estamos satisfechos del todo, siempre queremos algo más, y es eso precisamente lo que nos hace crecer. Ese eclecticismo musical del que hablamos se hace todavía más patente al intentar definir un estilo o encasillar al grupo en uno u otro género.

Although one can basically agree about musical tastes, Oz is rapidly characterised by eclecticism and rhythmic power; and then subtle melodic features appear to finally reach a compact sound, maybe as expected. One thing is for sure, Oz is permanently in evolution, we are never fully satisfied, we are always looking for more and that's what we make us grow. That musical eclecticism is more evident when one tries to define the style or set a particular band into a precise sub-genre.
