Product Description
GZR, FEATURING BLACK SABBATH'S GEEZER BUTLER RELEASES 'OHMWORK'

GZR is the quartet led by legendary Black Sabbath bass guitarist and lyricist Geezer Butler. Ohmwork is Butler's first album in eight years.

Butler is joined by vocalist Clark Brown and guitarist Pedro Howse, his longtime collaborators, and new drummer Chad Smith. Ohmwork is Butler's third solo band release. His first project under the GZR banner was 1995's Plastic Planet while 1997's Black Science was credited to Geezer. Butler is proud of the fact that GZR's music appeals to both young metal fans as well as Black Sabbath fans. He attributes this fact about cross-generational appeal to heavy metal's very essence.

"I prefer stripping songs down to their most raw, basic sounds and blasting them out!" says Terry "Geezer" Butler. As the rock solid bass power underpinning the mighty Black Sabbath sound, this is surely one musician who knows a thing or two when it comes to blasting things out! It's the spirit of Sabbath that Geezer cites when explaining the spark that sent the members of GZR (completed by guitarist Pedro Howse, vocalist Clark Brown and drummer Chad Smith) hurtling into the studio and completing Ohmwork in record time. "It's the way the first two Sabbath albums were done. It's only then that you're truly capturing something real," adds Geezer. The title of Ohmwork came about because all the songs were written in Geezer's home studio and it was like ‘homework.' " But back home in Birmingham, when one said the word ‘homework' the ‘h' sound was dropped during the pronunciation and so it sounded like ‘omework'. And since modern music can't exist without electricity, (and since the ‘ohm' is defined as a unit of electrical resistance) the title became Ohmwork." Be assured, however, that listening to this album will not be ‘work.

It's Surprisingly Not To bad!.......2006-03-24

I bought this because I love all things Sabbath and have always respected Geezer Butler's talents. His amazing bass playing in Sabbath is legendary and his lyrical trips are very cool indeed.

When I first tossed this sucker on I was like, well it's not bad at all. However after a few listens it has grown on me over time. The tunes are very tight and very refreshing. It's not Sabbath, it's something else and it's very good. The production is very good as well. The guitar tone is excellent and the chops are very good. The vocals go from straight on hard rock belting out to growls and it's great!! The Geezer signature sound is here (Gawd how I love that tone!!) and his parts are very well thought out. They are typical Geezer in that their not to overbearing, yet are very full and fat. The drums are right on and only add to an already enjoyable listening experience.

This cd was a welcome surprise and probably a 3.5 stars out of 5.

New Stuff, Awesome.......2006-02-26

I bought this expecting to hear some sabbath-style tracks but I found none of that. I found over-the-top aggression and power. The music is awesome and the vocals are great- right on the border between singing and screaming most of the time, which is pretty awesome. It sounds like an old guy trying to fit in with the new... and succeeding!

Not as good as the first two, but. . . ........2006-01-15

Pretty darn good.

I think Geezer maintains his roots while branching out
at the same time. Still has the heavy bass lines and songs like
"Pardon My Depression" and "I believe" are stand out tracks
whcih should be keepers for years.

I think his first two project releases were more consistently
good, and this one falls short of Plastic planet and Black science.
However, I am glad i purchased it and have recommended it to friends who have similar musical tastes. For me, he could have left Prisoner 103 off the CD, but that is just me.

I think the CD needs to be heard loud and with few distractions to be truly appreciated. :-)
Also, lyrically there is some interesting stuff going on.
If there is a 4th Project release I will be purchasing it!

AMAZING!.......2005-11-12

He is the greatest bassist ever. Now, to our amazement, he is still releasing great albums after Sabbath. It is new sounding, heavy metal but you can hear the Sabbath signature sound all over it, other than the vocals which are also awesome. This album is amazing, and so is Plastic Planet (featuring Bell from Fear Factory), and Black Science. I'm glad to see that all Sabbath members are still playing the heaviest metal alive.

Very hard, driving material from Geezer - took some getting used to.......2005-08-03

Third "solo" album from Geezer Butler. I have to say when I first received this album, I really didn't like it. The first track was pretty catchy out of the gate (Misfit), but the album really wasn't like the last one. This one had good music, but the vocals.. They really borderlined into "growl vocals" - something I never much cared for. Still, it was Geezer Butler, so I was determined to give it a fair shake, and not dismiss it early on like I think a lot of people will.

So I listened to it a few more times, and some more tracks stood out for me (Pseudocide, Dogs of Whore, Pull the String). I found that it grew on me. It is definitely out there on the edge of what I personally like in terms of agressive vocals, but I can definitely call it an album I like. I will be honest - it's probably a bit harder edged than most Sabbath fans will listen to, and as I said above, I feel a lot will dismiss it because of that. There's some good music here, if you give it a chance. Geezer does experiment with styles. In terms of his Black Sabbath heritage, I'd say the song "Alone" probably feels the most like an old Sabbath track. But most of the rest of the album is faster driving stuff than Sabbath normally does. And Aural Sects goes the farthest in terms of "growl vocals", but is also enjoyable. There's a little bit of "rap" in Prisoner 103, and "I Believe" is probably the most radio friendly of anything in here, although it's definitely NOT a radio song in terms of the kind of thing you normally hear there.

This feels more like Geezer's first album, Plastic Planet because that one was harder edged than Black Science was. I love both of those, and this feels like a more natural progression to PP than BS was. Once more, give it a chance. I think you'll like it.
