Worth every penny., March 25, 2008
This review is from: ZERO 1 (Audio CD)
If you know Hal Sparks from "Queer as Folk" or quips on VH1, you only know half the story. Hal Sparks is not only a talented actor and brilliant comedian, he is also a gifted musician.
It is the musical quality of this CD that will surprise you the most.
There are hard rocking metal tracks like "Mad Season", "Helsinki" and the socially conscious "Animal", but there are also deeply faceted songs like "She Waits", the seductive "Indian Summer" and the beautifully arranged "S.O.S.".
In each track you can see that Hal is as diverse a musician and singer as he is an actor.
Add to that the musicianship of bassist Rob Hall and drummer Miles Loretta, and you have a well rounded band that will entertain, surprise, rock and seduce you with each note.
You will not have to be a fan of metal or Hal Sparks to be a fan of Zero 1. Just a fan of music written and performed well with heart and passion.

Excellent CD!, June 5, 2008
This review is from: ZERO 1 (Audio CD)
Based on the songs I heard from the Zero 1 MySpace page, I knew this CD would be good. What really impresses me is, not only is every song musically strong, the variety is immense. Basically, this CD rocks in every way.

WOW!!!!, January 13, 2010
This review is from: ZERO 1 (Audio CD)
I was shocked when I first played this CD. The passion was definately strong. Hal's voice gave me chills. Like the other reviewer said, I have just about worn the CD out and have only owned for about 3 weeks. I do like some metal and this was a perfect mix of different musical genres. I also think that two of the songs reminded me alot of Daughtry (from American Idol fame). I hope a new CD will be forthcoming from this exceptional band.
