Notes

On this album, the band is being marketed as “G//Z/R”. On Black Science it was “Geezer”, and on Ohmwork, it was “GZR”.
Burton C. Bell normally sings for the band Fear Factory.
Giving up the Ghost is allegedly about the Spirit of Black Sabbath & Tony Iommi.
“The Invisible” appeared in a slightly remixed version on the soundtrack to the movie “Mortal Kombat”, although the song didn’t actually appear in the movie itself.
I asked Geezer Butler via email if the lyrics to Cycle of Sixty were about worshipping the actual sun, or the “Son of God – Jesus Christ”. He replied back that Pedro Howse wrote those lyrics, so I asked Pedro the same question. He replied back with… “yes geezer is right it is worship the sun and, it was from a diary of chinese mysticism that someone gave to me at the time of the recording of PP. It was about the turning of the seasons if i remember correctly and, i had this little guitar idea and, they kinda went well together so we put it on the end of the record. Also the bells you hear are wind chimes from outside the recording studio. When we had finished we went outside for a smoke and a few beers and, those wind chimes were chiming away for us so we took them into the studio and, recorded them.”
The three Geezer Butler “solo” albums were re-released in 2020. First digitally in March, and physically in October. At that time, all three were rebranded as just “Geezer Butler” vs the names they had before (G//Z/R, Geezer, or GZR). At the same time, they got an artwork refresh, you can see the 2020 digital artwork below.
