Original MTM Music 1998 pressing

Zeno, named after the Greek philosopher Zeno of Citium, is a German act specializing in majestic Rock epics led by Jochen ‘Joe’ Roth. This album takes up where he left off with his 1994 album ‘Zenology’. This time around a few things have changed. ‘Zenology’ used the band Fair Warning to provide much of the instrumental backup, with singer Michael Flexig. That, and the fact the album was recorded over a few years. On ‘Listen To The Light’ vocalist Flexig is back, and in tremendous voice, while Zeno plays all of the instruments himself. The album, although a long time coming was recorded in the one time frame. This has helped Zeno create a smoother running and slightly more consistent record than ’Zenology’. Even though that album had no bad tracks on it, this new album runs through the tracks with a more even pace. The style hasn’t changed much though, and from the first track we are blown away with these huge bombastic guitar chords and soaring vocals. A good and slightly more consistent record that once again serves as a vehicle for Zeno’s talents and dare I say indulgences. Buy it if you love everything louder than everything else, and bigger too.
