"The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work"
- Geezer Butler
About this Quote
The quote by Geezer Butler is describing the album Black Science, which was launched in 1994. The album was a departure from the conventional heavy metal noise of Geezer's previous work with Black Sabbath. Rather, the album included a more speculative noise, with a heavy concentrate on keyboards and synthesizers. Unfortunately, the album was not favored by fans and critics alike, and Geezer himself has actually since expressed his frustration with the album. He believes that the heavy use of keyboards and synthesizers was a mistake, and that it did not work in the context of the album. Ultimately, the album was an industrial failure, and Geezer has actually given that returned to his traditional heavy metal noise.
