Return to Zero is the debut album by the American rock band RTZ, released in 1991 by Warner Bros. Records. The first single was "Face the Music".
Critical reception
The Calgary Herald opined: "Missing is any hint of power in RTZ's rock, or even foot-tapping, finger-snapping rock. Just lots of boring shooting for Top 40 appeal."
