В то время, как добрый дядя Оззи продолжает стричь купоны с показов на eMpTyV своего безумно увлекательного реалити-шоу, его коллеги по Black Sabbath наконец-то начинают подавать хоть какие то признаки творческой жизни. Уважаемый Тони Айомми выпускает вот уже третий сольный альбом, и, следуя примеру своего старого товарища, Гизер Батлер также активизировался и ударно (всего за две недели!) записал также третий студийник GZR, проекта имени себя любимого. Надо сказать, что предыдущие два альбома этого коллектива, вышедшие в середине 90-ых, привели в порядочный шок всех старых поклонников Black Sabbath. Вместо привычного хард энд хэви, скромный мистер Батлер удивил всех брутальнейшей альтернативой, сильно смахивающей на творения Fear Factory (что, впрочем, неудивительно, так как на одном из этих дисков пел, собственно, вокалист Фабрики, Бертон Си Белл). Лично мне было очень интересно, каким же выйдет новый альбом GZR в наше время, когда волна моды на подобную музыку уже давно потеряла былую силу. Но как говорится - не стареют душой ветераны! Гизер и его главный соавтор, гитарист Педро Хоуз, плевать хотели с высокой колокольни на любые проявления моды! С первой же песни альбома, ураганного боевика "Misfit", становится понятно, что стилистка изменилась только на чуточку. Итак, главная ассоциация музыки GZR теперь - это Korn. Местами похоже настолько, что начинаешь сомневается - а не Джонатан-ли Дэвис тайно прописал все вокальные партии? Что же касается музыки, то тут описывать особенно нечего - довольно стандартная, но при этом чертовски привлекательная альтернатива, как и положено с безумным животным ревом в брутальных частях, и тихим, меланхоличным пением в спокойных. Тексты от маэстро Гизера, как обычно, чрезвычайно запутанны, и сложны для быстрого понимания. Наиболее удачными композициями получились семиминутный эпик "I Believe", безумные по энергетике боевики "Aural Sects" и "Don't You Know", а также медленная и атмосферная вещь "Pardon My Depression". К сожалению, несколько явно проходных треков присутствуют, но идеальное качество записи, и остального материала вообще, перевешивают негатив. В целом, "Ohmwork" рекомендуется всем любителям умной (а не прыгательной!) альтернативы, ну а также самым стойким фэнам Black Sabbath, к числу которых с удовольствием отношу себя и я.

The claims of war and poverty
They are holding you and me

Pardon my depression, my mind’s in recession
Compulsion for confession, it’s my soul’s obsession

Yeah, Yeah, I’m fallin apart

Chorus
Prisoner 103
Verse:
Prisoner 103
Awakened by the onslaught
Of patient and low electrical hum
Sounds that are based
On just a little bit of poetry that sits on a low voice
Prisoner 103
Is taken on a journey
A basic regression of practical thought
And stolen his taste and the memory of all the things that make
The most sense
Chorus
What do you want
What do you need
How do you feel when you’re dying
What do you want
What do you need
How does it feel to be stolen
(Open your mind)
Verse:
Blaming it all on me
I’m making all the inner talk
Of insane mechanical satanical fun
Sounds that are laced
Through a portal of immortal light and energy
That’s right, the undead
Blaming it all on me
Your sanctioned to a faction
That takes up and makes up
Eternal wisdom
Life that is based
On a spec of a rejected vision
It’s what it all means
Chorus
Middle:
Take it out on me
And I will break your head in two
Take it out on me
I will slowly control you
And then I’ll own you
Take it out on me
And I will break your head in two
Chorus
Third verse same as the first
I Believe
Verse:
I believe we’ll win, I believe the soul
Believe I am, in the control
To start again
I believe the wind, I believe the soul,
Believe I am, in the control
To start again
Chorus:
Like it or not
Take it away
You gotta believe in someone
Like it or not
Take it away
You gotta believe in something
Verse:
So you make the change, make the change that would
Be embraced on the side of good
I believe in sin, cause I think it could
Be the hand that holds the world
Chorus
Middle:
God held me and told me you fight your enemies
Don’t let them make your end, you’ll make everything
The way it has to be
God held me
Verse:
You’re living through, you’re living through and fighting
I believe we’ll win, I believe it all
Believe I am, in the control
Chorus
Aural Sects
Verse:
Mother, you are the entity
You are the figure head
Of my insanity
Father, you are the criminoid
False possessor of my life
And suicide
Brother, you are the subliside
Your reign of hate will now only emplify
All on, your hated company
My only ties to you now have gone and died
Play on without your company
I don’t need to be him
I’ve just gotta be
All on, an ancient memory
I sold this soul out to all my enemies
Chorus:
You gotta drown yourself in shit
And find a fuckin face that fits
Masturbate some self control
And tell the world to save your soul
Verse:
All on, a hated memory
You can take back all of your sympathy
Play on, and moving toward the end
A negative light that I call my friend
Stay on, the road that all you made
The faces of light, now they start to fade
Hate on, it’s what it has to be
I don’t need to be him, I just need to be me
Chorus
Middle:
Fly on, fly on to save the world
Now I’ve got you in my hands
And I am leaving, leaning on another
I’m relearning with new eyes
Third Verse same as first
Chorus
Middle
Out verse: All on a hated memory
Pseudocide

Simply there
A reflection of someone that you made
But it’s like the one, like the one you trust,
Like the one you know
It’s all made up by you
Pre Chorus
Force fed, man made
Verse:
Pseudocide
This is created by the fuel to be fired in the mind to kill everything
You are now extinct
Exempt to become someone else, so…
Pre Chorus
Force fed, man made, so fake
Chorus:
Pseudocide
Verse:
Cannot hide from the ones that know of your plan
Were not like the ones, like the ones you fooled
Like the ones you must, you impress, so hopeless
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Third verse same as the first
Pull the String
Verse:
Pull the string, it’s a ravenous thought
A ridiculous plot
Brought on by the enemies
Full disgrace, all which is bought by all of you
Full disgrace, all which is bought by all of you
Empty race, need a leader, not a criminal mind
Who is blind to the anarchy in life
Such a waste, all which is bought by all of you
Such a waste, all which is bought by all of you
Pre Chorus:
Unfit, overpaid, unfit, got it made
Chorus:
I know you’re so unclean
I’ll never trust you again
Sympathy that I won’t make
Stay away and just decay
I’ll never trust you again
Verse:
Pull the string, yeah, I’m angry and lost
A ridiculous plot
Brought on by the enemy
Full disgrace, all which is bought by all of you
Full disgrace, all which is bought by all of you
Human race, we are told to rely on the lies
That supply all the empathy and cries
Enemies, all of which were taught by all of you
Enemies, all of which were taught by all of you
Prechorus
Chorus
Middle;
I did it all and I gave it all and I did it all

That’s why I’m ruined
That’s why I’m finished
Chorus
Alone
Verse:
Why do I pray
For the end of the day
Waiting here
With nothing to say
Chorus:
I’m sitting here hating nothing
But I’m loving just what I feel
I’m so alone
Verse:
Lies, now you’re growing up into why
I, now I’m wearing death as my crown
Dogs of Whore
Verse:
Give it…
Why don’t you, give it…
You hold it all, all for yourself
Your time you waste
On no one else
Why don’t you give me the lies of you
Never mind cause I don’t really like you
Verse:
It takes one man, to start a war
One tainted dollar bill
To turn a lover to whore
Why don’t you open your eyes it’s you
Never mind cause I don’t really like you
Chorus:
I live among the world with emptiness I try to hide
Alone I fight the hate that lives inside, it’s time to die
Middle:
Lies, just tell me lies, these lies of you
Never mind cause I don’t really like you (repeat)
We are the children of God, Jesus is our brother
We become one family, when we are baptized
Third verse same as first

Out riff
Chorus and God part
Don’t You Know
Verse:
Don’t you know what you mean to me
You see me in the darkness
The unforgiving loneliness
Don’t you know…
You see me in my helpless hour
Don’t you know…
I’m living here in darkness
The unavading loneliness
Don’t you know…
I’m living in my helpless hour
Verse 2;
Can’t you wait just another day
I’m trying to make it through this
Abyss of loneliness
Can’t you wait…
It’s taking all of my power
Can’t you wait…
I’m dying to get through this
The unavading loneliness
Can’t you wait…
The situation is now dire
Prechorus
You gotta believe in me
You have to
You gotta believe in me
Because
Chorus:
I’m waiting, surrounded so alone
I’m waiting, outside the comfort zone
I’m waiting, where all my thoughts are sewn
Surrounded, yet so alone
Middle:
Every day, it’s the same living in the hours of the hate
I display and it’s taking over
Verse:
Don’t you know what you mean to me
I need you in the darkness
To empathize my loneliness
Don’t you know…
I’m dying in my helpless hour
Don’t you know…
Take away the darkness and give me back my happiness
Don’t you know….
And aid me in my helpless hour
Chorus
