Reviews (page 10 of 14)
Great album, only ever listened to greatest hits from them but thoroughly pleased with the deep cuts too.
Essential Zeppelin. Some epic masterpieces found on this album, that don't get enough recognition when compared to other LZ epics Highlights: -In My Time of Dying -Kashmir -Down By The Seaside -Ten Years Gone -Night Flight
Top album
I think Led Zeppelin are great, but for me they are just fine. I guess I like them, but not a band I go out of my way to listen to. I can't deny the greatness of this album though, it might just be because of how much Zeppelin I've heard over the years. Kashmir is a classic though. Jimmy Page is an awesome guitarist and Robert Plant has quite a unique voice. 3.5 up to 4.
3.666 | Disfruto mucho la música de Led Zeppelin pero siempre que pongo un disco completo de ellos termino por sentir que es demasiado largo y este no fue la excepción. De una por una, casi todas las rolas me encantan y tienen su parte increíble para disfrutar: ya sea la guitarra, la batería, la voz… pero con casi 90 minutos de eso, hacia el final del disco ya no estaba en mi mejor nivel de atención.
I'm a huge Zeppelin fan and have listened to this album multiple times. Probably my least favorite Zeppelin album.
Had never dived this deep into LZ Addie from Kashmir. Watched an interview with Kevin Parker the other day talking about John Bonham's drumming so was focused mostly on that. Good cooking music.
Zeppee
Solid offering from Zepp!
not their best album but still good
Some great hits, but not their best album for sure
Solid zep album. Hard to rate an album that has songs I’ve heard 100 times.
Pretty good album. Sounds like progressive rock. Recognized 2-3 songs. Never really listened to Led Zeppelin that much. Not bad for a boomer band.
What a band, bar for a five is really high loved it. The musicality is off the charts here. These guys are musicians of an unbelievable quality.
es buen albúm, previamente en favoritos, no es el mejor de la banda, 4 estrellas
Liked this one more than the early LZ - pleasantly surprised.
Classic, listen to again less distracted
Inte det bästa albumet av Led zeppelin men en klar 4.
Very good listen
Prometteur mais le manque de diversitay commence à me fatiguer
2/25 4.5/5. Amazing rock album. Standout Tracks: In My Time of Dying, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, In The Light, Down By The Seaside, The Wanton Song, Black Country Woman
This isn't their best but it's still led zep goodness. Goes too long tbh and some of the tracks jam out too much but it's still a solid 4/5.
Really good of course. It’s Zeppelin. But this is one we could cut from the list, because other stronger albums are on the list. It’s a bit overstuffed. Like a lot of double albums it would have benefited from picking the best stuff
First Led Zeppelin album!! AHH exciting, I'm for now only a casual listener and looked forward to this album, but sad to say I really only like disc 1 , disc 2 felt a bit lacking compared to the start and also other great songs i know from the band. My standout songs are Custard Pie , House of the Holy, and Trampled under foot
My experience with Zeppelin was perhaps the opposite of most fans. I started with Houses of the Holy, and then went straight to THIS one - because, in the same vein of the Beatles' White Album, more Zep is better Zep, right? Er, maybe. As much as the band was proud of this effort, it's no longer my favorite album of theirs. The sound is great - I LOVE the dynamics, often "dirty" mix, and bedroom style recording on this. It's like they wanted to go back to their blues and folk roots with their first release on their own Swan Song label. In spite of John Paul Jones being burned out with all the constant touring, the band was able to hold together to record this. Their retreat in Bron-Yr-Aur, near Snowdonia, clearly made an impression on their songwriting - the songs explore more mystical themes and feel rustic and otherworldly at times. Page's guitar playing combined with Bonham's drumming is still intense and excellent here. This is particularly clear on songs such as "The Rover", "Ten Years Gone", "In the Light", the acoustic "Bron-Yr-Aur" and the unbelievably epic "Kashmir". I enjoy a lot of the rocking numbers such as "Trampled Under Foot" and "The Wonton Song" and even soft rock tracks such as "Down By the Seaside" but so much of it borders on typical hard rock from the 70s or vintage blues rock that doesn't really set them apart from other bands of the same time period. Take "Custard Pie", "Houses of the Holy", and "Night Flight". Great, fun tracks, but are they essential Zeppelin? This band was capable of more than simply generic 70s boogie rock and indeed, many of these tracks weren't even intended to be added to a single album release. About half of this, like the bore fests "Boogie with Stu" and "Black Country Woman", were recorded earlier and were added to this release as to Physical Graffiti became a longer effort than previously planned - hence, the double album format. For instance, do we really need an 11+ minute rendition of "In My Time of Dyin'" (which kicks ass at first, but overstays its welcome) or the long, droney spaciness of "In the Light"? For fanatics, or those that that saw them live, I can understand the appeal of such entries. But, as others have pointed out, there's a great short LP in here, and often it translates into typical bloated mid-70s rock of the time period that sorely needed trimming. Still iconic, but sort of the beginning of the end of this band. The label ended up being a headache to manage and the constant touring and increasing drug use wore out the band, culminating with Bonham's death in 1980. Lots of great tracks here, nevertheless - "Kashmir" in particular is a masterpiece of guitar/mellotron/string combo, and worth the price of admission. 3 stars. Post-script: Actually, I just realized that "Houses of the Holy" isn't even on this list!! I can't believe they opted for this album instead of that one. No "The Song Remains the Same"/"Rain Song" on this list is criminal.
Undeniably some great songs and they did a good job of perfecting their signature sound on this album. But for me, it was very long and had a lot of songs I could skip. It has high highs but low lows too. I understand why it is a classic. Top songs: In My Time of Dying, Houses of the Holy, Kashmir, Down By The Seaside
Custard pie Trampled under foot Down by the seaside
5/10
this was fine. Did not feel impassioned by it. 6/10
Definitely one of the albums. John bottom is a really really good drummer. I really enjoy a handful of songs on here, but just knowing how good Led Zeppelin is I know this isn’t one of my favorite albums by them. Still good.
Guitar good. In my time of dying carried imo.
I try so hard to enjoy LED Zeppelin, but I just can’t get over that awful squawking, moaning voice. The greatest rock band in history, ruined by horrible singing.
Bummer. This is another ill-fated choice to make a double album. The Wiki blurb is helpful here--they wrote 3 sides of music, then decided to throw in some chaff to make 4 rather than editing down to 2. Personally, I really wish they would have shrunk it down to a single album, but I guess this was a good business decision for them. It's never bad, it's just that you know Zeppelin can do better than some of the mediocre songs on here. 3.4
82 mins of Zep, ugh. Starts bad, easily the worse LZ I've heard so far on the list. Of course does sound better than most of the hard rock slop on the list. Some great things on here though. Might have been better off leaving side 4 blank. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No, 101/380 (26%) Will I get: No
As much as I love the Zep, they don't really have the stylistic variation to sustain a double LP. Some really good tracks on here, but the project as a whole kinds just wears on and too much Robert Plant can kinda get to be a bad thing. I like my more concentrated doses of Led Zeppelin, thank you.
Not really my favorite zepp album, plants voice isn’t that pronounced. Guitar sounds amazing and Kashmir is a standout track
Gode greier, men det blir for mye jam-filler.
3/5
It was okay. I liked Kashmir best
Un buen de rolas que se alejan del sonido habitual de la banda, muy chido :D
08/03 Good album, but prefer Led Zepplin IV
We're back baby. First album after my holidays and what a banger. One of the Led Zeppelin albums I don't own (yet). It's heavier and a definite shift in tone from the earlier albums. It feels a bit more metal actually.
Estou até pensando em comprar a discografia do Led Zeppelin. Gostou muito, mas nunca ouvi seriamente álbum por álbum.
If this wasn’t a double album it would’ve been great
My dad played this album a lot when I was tiny, but I haven’t heard it in full in a very long time - probably well over twenty years. I also knew, all that nostalgia aside, that it had my favourite of Led Zeppelin’s songs on here, so I would enjoy listening to this at some level. The two big tracks are “Trampled Under Foot” and “Kashmir” for me, and they wipe the floor with everything else on this album. “Kashmir” is a masterpiece, that doesn’t sound over 50 years old. All of those mellotron layers by JPJ are incredible. “Trampled Under Foot” is my favourite Led Zep track and, as an adult, I realise it’s because I’m a sucker for a clavinet - so many of the brilliant funk and soul tracks I love so much are built on clavinet-based melodies and you do feel those influences on this track. I’ve also always had an extra soft spot for “Down by the Seaside - that middle section, in particular. Most of the rest of this album is just alright. It’s far too long and is obviously a bit of a wankfest for the Zep lads, where they throw every genre into a double-album. I certainly didn’t realise it was an album that was so keys-heavy, with the aforementioned clavinet and mellotron joining a synthesiser, piano, and organ at various points. Robert Plant’s vocals also start to grate after a while, and he’s not someone whose vocals I’m a fan of anyway. Over an hour of him is far too much. This is probably a 3.5* album for me, but I just don’t love it enough, or rate enough tracks too highly, to justify giving it 4*.
My Dad was big Led Zeppelin fan which meant I heard a lot of Robert Plant shouty-singing during my youth... however none of it actually stuck. I know he had Physical Graffiti but I can't remember that much about this at all (Kashmir excluded). This was sort of like a first listen. At first I liked the bones of the songs, but could have definitely lived without the extended jamming at the end. However I did really like In My Time Of Dying despite it being so long, and then I loved Houses Of The Holy (I mean, funky and the occasional use of a cowbell!), so I turned the corner after the first two tracks. I have to admit my attention did wander over the length of the album though, despite how varied it is. I like the vocals although it is quite a lot over a double album (he's very screechy), the guitar playing is obviously incredible, the drumming great: it's a very accomplished album. Ultimately, although I enjoyed it, it's just not entirely my thing. This is more a 3.5 for me to be honest but 4 seemed too high for my personal tastes, so 3/5
Good, not annoying.
i've never really been as big on the album as others seem to be. Idk I just feel like they could've left out most of disc 2 and it would've been an infinitely better album. Also for a good amount of the songs on here Plant sounds like he took a cheesegrater to his vocal cords. I'll still give it a decent rating though cause the good songs are pretty damn good
Im not a Led Zeppelin fan but I like some of their songs. The firts half is good for led zeppelin standard but the last like 5 songs are really not great.
it was okay hard rock makes me feel like georgie Cooper when i listen to it
spoko
Pas tres fan de hard rock
Good songs and the classic "Kashmir".
5/10 My least favorite Zeppelin album so far.
kyllähän täältä löytyy paljon klassikkoja, vaikka en vanha kuuntelija olekaan niin niitä tunnistaa. P-Diddyn come with me. Makee biisi näin oikeanakin versiona
A subdued good time. I wish the album was more like the back half! 3.75 rounded down to 3. Favorite tracks: Kashmir, In the Light, Bron-Yr-Aur, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song.
Only issue I got with this would be its length. Other than that this is really consistent and would listen again. 7/10
Um álbum que prende o ouvinte desde a primeira faixa. Com um riff hipnotizante e uma melodia que fica no ouvido, Custard Pie é certamente uma música que fica na memória de quem ouve. Kashmir é certamente uma das melhores músicas do álbum, os instrumentos de orquestra acrescentam beleza á musica.
This album is good but man is it long
Up until now I havent bothered with Zepp much beyond their third and fourth albums, but this one was enjoyable. My big complaint is that this did not need to be a double album; I love my long prog rock jams but many of these songs could have their runtime cut in half with how repetitive the riffing gets. 7.5/10.
Een album waarbij je af en toe echt wel getrakteerd wordt op een lekker stukje bluesy, psychedelische rock. Maar ik zou mezelf niet zijn als ik niet zou klagen over het feit dat het een dubbel-album is. En die zijn, vrijwel altijd, te lang. Zo ook in dit geval. Het is te lang en het houdt m'n aandacht niet echt vast. Ondanks dat ik het dus zeker geen rotmuziek vind. M'n favoriete track is 'In My Time of Dying' en dat is track 3, daarna krijg je er nog 12. Het is af en toe wat te leeg, dan weer te langdradig. En de stem van meneer Plant heb ik en un momento dado ook wel gehoord merk ik. Als cijfer kom ik daardoor uit op een 3.
This is the second Led Zeppelin album I've listened to in full. While it certainly isn't bad, it is quite boring. The repetitiveness of the majority of the songs, combined with their extended runtimes, makes them drag-on; In My Time of Dying is the worst offender by far. The album as a whole feels bloated, which isn't helped by how frontloaded it is, leaving you wondering why you're still listening for most of the second disc. This is also an album where you can hear it's age, albums like In the Court of the Crimson King, Red, Dark Side of the Moon, and Aqualung, that came out around the same time or even before Physical Graffiti, just sound so much farther ahead. The highlight on this album is easily Kashmir. It is, like most songs on this album, long and repetitive, but it manages to avoid being boring by virtue of how good it is in every other aspect. It's age is also far less apparent than other songs on the album. Despite having it's moments, Physical Graffiti is dragged down by it's extended runtime and dated sound.
Great loved it
Listening session: july 11th, while getting ready in the morning Listened to before: no Thoughts: I like their other albums more, but it’s still Led Zeppelin so it’s nice to listen to Favourite tracks: The Rover, Ten Years Gone & The Wanton Song
The first (and last) album I bought new on cassette when it was released to be able to hear on my car’s player which all too soon chewed the tape up! Loved this at the time but I don’t really have the patience to hear it now. Haven’t heard it all the way through before today for decades. Too many tracks are stretched out beyond acceptable and more suited to a live performance. Happy now just to hear their “greatest hits” type stuff. A few of these tracks still qualify as these but there are much better Zeppelin albums. This is probably my least favourite now.
This is pure dad rock but certainly not bad. Personally I feel they are the most palatable of that era (and dare I say the ‘coolest’). Jimmy Page could absolutely write a killer riff and I kinda liked how there was a variety of rock styles, to some extent, across the record. His voice gets some getting used to, and man this album is tooooooooo long! Should have been two records or some of the song run times reduced. Especially as the two records seem so different- odd choice to make a double album. Stand outs on the first record are Houses of the Holy and Kashmir (COME WITH ME!!) The mega cheesy In the Light going into the rather lovely Bron-Yr-Aur was nice on record two.
I had a great time listening to Physical Graffiti. It's a long album, but it never felt like a chore because there's so much variety from one song to the next. Every track has its own personality, and the album constantly shifts between heavy blues rock, acoustic moments, and more experimental sounds without ever feeling unfocused. "Kashmir" completely lived up to its reputation. It's easily one of the most powerful songs on the album, with an unforgettable riff and an atmosphere that feels massive. I also loved "In My Time of Dying" for its raw energy and incredible musicianship, while songs like "Trampled Under Foot" and "Ten Years Gone" showed different sides of the band that kept the album fresh. One thing that impressed me most was how well the band worked together. Jimmy Page's guitar playing is phenomenal, but everyone gets their chance to shine. John Bonham's drumming is relentless, John Paul Jones adds so much depth with his bass and keyboards, and Robert Plant sounds confident and expressive throughout. Considering it's a double album, I expected there to be at least a few weak moments, but I honestly didn't find many. Even the songs that aren't as memorable on a first listen still contribute to the overall experience. It's the kind of album that feels like it has more to offer every time you come back to it. By the end, it was easy to see why so many people consider Physical Graffiti one of Led Zeppelin's greatest albums. It captures everything that made the band special—their power, creativity, and willingness to explore different musical styles. It's an album I'll definitely be returning to, and I can easily see it growing on me even more with each listen.
really enjoy when led zeppelin pulls away from their led zeppelinisms. ex. down by the seaside - being my favorite from here liked this more than their debut but im not drawn to their grandness i guess
The lush bluesy sprawling soundscapes almost make me forget how much I hate these 70s rock vocals. Love the guitar tones and vastly prefer Zeppelin to their counterparts of this era, but still sometimes a chore for the runtime on some of these tracks. I know all my reviews of this genre are sacrilegious, but it just isn't for me. Houses of the Holy, Kashmir, and Down by the Seaside were my favorite tracks. Also appreciated Bron-Yr-Aur to get a break from the vocals. -listened on Beach Trip 2026
A pretty good album, i liked Houses of the Holy and Kashmir the most.
Okayyy
- the way his voice contorts is so satisfying wtf - love the instrumentals but nothing lifechanging
8/10 por ser Led Zeppelin, buena vibra rockera, un poco muy viajero para mi mood de hoy
álbum correcto 8/10 puntos mas altos: Down by the Seaside - Kashmir - Night Flight - Sick Again tremenda portada y un ambiente en general muy lindo mg
This was a lot worse than the last LZ album we listened to. Nothing stuck out. We can call this Led Zlop. Favorite song was Ten Years Gone I guess
Alright vibe change from Johnny cash. Let's hear this. Not heard much of lz but really enjoy what I have heard. Ok I actually do really like this. I think they have a very good vibe. Similar to wolfmother for me. How long are these songs holy. Could've been a lot shorter ngl Favourite: Night Flight Least favourite: Black Country Woman
I have always been very vocal about my love of Led Zeppelin, and equally as vocal about the fact I think everything after Zeppelin IV sucks. When this came up as my next album I realized that I hadn't actually listened to it all the way through since I was in high school. I definitely think I have a better appreciation for it now, there are some songs on it I genuinely love (In My Time of Dying, Houses of Holy) and aren't overplayed like so many on these later records are (looking at you Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir. At the end of the day though, as a bass player it's difficult to dislike anything that features John Paul Jones.
As a rule I do not like double albums, especially when (according to wikipedia) they made the choice to to stretch this out into a double with unreleased material There is a genuinely incredible ~9 or 10 song album in here (the stretch from Houses of the Holy to Ten Years Gone + The Wanton Song is great) but instead its 82 minutes long As far as rock goes there's a nice amount of variety, In the Light was a really pleasant surprise. Unfortunately the album still manages to drag a little
better than the other albums so far, but again not my cup of tea wish there was decimal ratings
Pretty great, not Zeppelin's best though
I was not as impressed with this album as with others from this artist
Robert Plant vocals...I can take or leave, but I enjoyed the album, with a couple exceptions. The length is too lonb a few fewer tracks could've been ok. But I do live the guitar jam moments. Saved some tracks. Does anyone else ever get to sing besides Plant??
3.5. Idk, too long and not very memorable to me. I think I judge it more harshly because of who it is.
They had me in the first half, but then this record just didn't end. For me this is a just play the highlights type of album.
Wasn't huge on this to be honest, I see the influence and significance but it felt a little repetitive. Some good bass parts but could've been better at times.
Couple zingers for sure.
stabil
it was fun, but not my fav
Led Zeppelin are understandably regarded as one of the all time great rock bands, but they do not have the versatility to be able to pull off a double album like this. Some of the songs here (the ones everyone knows like Kashmir, Houses of the Holy, and Trampled Under Foot) are excellent, but this album is nearly 90 minutes across 16 tracks. There is a fantastic single album in here somewhere, but there is also a lot of bloat. I will (as I always have) go back to some specific songs here but I am not likely to listen to this as an album again.
Was okay, a bit long. Black Country Woman could have been Jack White and I wouldn't have been the wiser.
Starts strong and sags a bit by the end.
its fine
really good when doing maths
Just don't get it.
Overhyped
It goes on and on, and all sounds the same. I can see the technical ability.
I liked it, but it was repeatable at some points and it tired me for that.
there's better Led Zep Would I listen again: a few tracks Deserves to be on this list: eh 3.4
I just don’t love Zeppelin. I like them, at the right time. Listen to them occasionally, own a few albums but don’t love them. Maybe it’s that 70s rock god thing, the little bit over blown and excessive that runs through them. What many see as powerful I find often heavy handed, stretching the blues too much into privilege ( they were when this was made) white man heavy rock. And though it launched a thousand imitators not the biggest fan of Plants voice. So this album is both a masterpiece to the fan and an overblown bloated self- indulgent 80 minutes to the punk ethic. And I had both views in the one day today, this morning had to turn of the turgid dinosaur music, this afternoon yeah got down with it. So got to go to the middle, 3 Star
Not the strongest album from this lot in my opinion. But, never too far away from a rumbling bass line or guitar solo, so not all bad.
It's alright, I just can't stand this type of vocals, I like the instrumentals though. Also feel like this album is way too long. It gets annoying after a while. Favorite track(s) The Rover
Favourite Songs: Down By The Seaside The Wanton Song
Just mentioned this in my last review 😂 we've got like 5 Zeppelin albums on this list. I get this is the double album but most of it is album cuts and B sides. It's good but it isn't needed as "Must listen" LZ1, 2, 4 and Houses of the Holy are all better than this one IMO. Still good but it's a 3
it was okay, but not I don't think I will re-listen it. it just was't the one for me.
The album was (unexpected) insanely chill to listen to. Most parts are incredibely instrumental, but I like that, cuz I'm more on the rnb music typa side. Vocals were fire too and blend in with the instrumenals perfectly. Altogether I'd say it is a good album, BUT the songs drag themselves slightly.
not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue
très cool mais je sais pas y'a un truc qui cloche, pas du tout touché par sa musique à led (en tout cas pas celles-ci)
I understand that it’s great and obviously some of the songs are very iconic like Kashmir but overall not totally my personal cup of tea
Incredibly mediocre and about 40 minutes too long
Need to sit with it more but it's cool. Doesn't set my ass on fire but it's fine
2026.05.27
Why is it the length of a feature film? Why did they bother to pad it out with outtakes from other recording sessions? I like Led Zeppelin, and Kashmir and Houses of the Holy are great tracks, but this is excessive
Hhh
Preferred the second disc to the first by a lot (even tho Kashmir is a tune). 2/5 for the first, 4/5 for the second. So… a 3!
This was tolerable.
A double album of Led Zeppelin sounds like hell, it wasn't that bad, but still not great. It mostly consists of original songs with some un-released outtakes that they possibly considered worthy enough to appear alongside original materiel. Just like other Zeppelin albums there's a lot of high-pitched "Baby's" and "Ohh" but not as much as other albums. Usually with double albums I usually say which side is my favourite and would keep if all other sides were deleted, in this case it would be Side D. This album has a lot more ominous vibes compared to their others, which I think is best done in the songs "Kashmir" and "In the Light." I think only III, IV and Houses of the Holy (album) are must-hears from the Zeppelin discography. This is a miss from me. Highlight Song/s: "Houses of the Holy" and "In the Light"
its kinda tuff

My favorite track by far is Kashmir, which I rated a 5 after a little debate. The rest were 3's and 4's, except for one 2. Looks like this album is widely regarded as the most complete Led Zeppelin album in terms of showcasing the full range of their music and I would rate it at the high end for suitability, except I don't think, as a whole, this album is that much better than some of the other music that was being made in 1975 or earlier. 3 my personal rating 3 suitability for this list 2 impact ----------------------------------------------- 2.7 composite rating
Ok ngl
First of all, this album is really cool and I like it a lot. First time I heard it I honestly hated sitting through it but I’m actually feeling it now returning after all this time. Ten years gone, In The Light, Kashmir, The Wanton Song, and Down by the seaside are all fire tracks and it is 100% a no skip album. the question is would I return for a relisten? and the answer to that would be maybe in awhile when I forget about it. Its just not one that I would constantly be listening to. Due to this I will be rating it a solid 4.
Some good tunes, some shite tunes, some tunes that wouldn’t seem to end. Complete mixed bag of an album but it was ok.
One of those albums where the highs are ridiculous, but it definitely drags in places. Some of the riffs are unreal and it’s got a dirty, heavy sound. Some songs are far too long. 3/5
its just fine, sounds like classic rock idk can't feel it, not my style
Its alright, the name carries a lot of weight but it does sound a bit like they wander off into unplanned jams and vocal safari's where Rob Plant just says the same word over and over again with varying degrees of passion. Kashmir though, is fire.
Me gusta mucho la instrumentación de Led Zeppelin, pero las letras nunca son tan relevantes y se pierden.
Great instrumentals and some individual high points but the back half drags a bit.
некоторые знакомые рифы и тут базовый рокнрол, такое мне неинтересно
I don’t hate this at all. It’s just a bit intense and there’s really quite a lot of it. And I find it all a bit too much. It’s very much classic Led Zeppelin of course, and there’s nothing wrong with that in smaller doses.
Best Song: Bron-Y-Aur. Maybe I wouldn't feel this the next time I listen to the album, but something about the quiet guitar work stuck out for me. Worst Song: Boogie With Stu. Feels like this was an easily cuttable track. Overall: Even "bad" Zeppelin is still pretty good music. The album is a bit overlong, but I actually found myself more enjoying the latter half, in which it felt like they leaned harder into the blues and folk sides more.
Led Zep VI, a little bloated, some tracks could have been culled. Kashmir and Black Country Woman are outstanding though.
Kashmir is a banger, but everything else felt somewhat forgetable
Creo que le doy 3 estrellas por el simple hecho de ser Led Zeppelin. El álbum me gustó dentro de todo, no es que no. Pero no sé.
Didn’t finish but it was okay. Not a fan of dad rock
I don't consider myself a HUGE Led Zeppelin fab but do appreciate their talent a lot. A lot of this album didn't quite hit the mark for me, I generally prefer their earlier stuff. This does have Kashmir one of their biggest songs however. Some good picks here: In My Time of Dying, In The Light.
Definitely starts dragging by the end, where we get crap like "Boogie With Stu," but also has the best Led Zeppelin song, "Ten Years Gone," and lots of other highlights.
Best Songs: In my time of dying Kashmir
a few bangers. probably a grower
I mean, it's definitely Led Zeppelin. I'm enjoying the album but I'm not feeling anything new from it. I don't know why LZ is featured in this list so many times. They're good, but there's only so many times you can appreciate their music.
I like Led Zeppelin. This is ok.
Hot take, men detta är ett 3/5 album. Börjar starkt men sen tappar det snabbt tyvärr
j'ai un peu la flemme de finir j'avoue. je vois que c'est un bon album mais ça me touche pas
significant 70's rock album which set the scene for many bands to follow
Light 3,5
Some good stuff on here but it was a bit of a slog to get through 3
few nice songs on disc two, good riffs on kashmir and trampled underfoot but have heard plenty of times before. very long songs could be good to add to TND
Couple of stand out songs, but the album was long and I think the style sounds repetitive due to the length. Interested in other Led Zeppelin cds
Went in super excited. Good, but man those songs drag on. Kashmir still hits.
...and my led zeppelin albums ends here. 3.5/5
3/5
Good. You know what? Better than good - Good enough. Don’t know if it’s 16 platinum in the steaming era; I get why it’s huge tho. Well produced, pumpy fun rock from trivia’s favorite English rock band, The Yardbirds
Undeniably some great tracks on this here album. Nostalgia itself will increase my rating. But after a while, Led Zeppelin songs start to wear on me, instead of vibe through me.
Many classic songs you’ve already heard and some blues inspired tracks that are suitable for bathtub with a joint and a beer, Can’t give it higher than a 4 because it’s low key played out for me personally and perhaps my tastes have changed over the years, a shrewder producer would have cut a few tracks to tighten things up a bit, but does it really matter… nah
Love Zeppelin albums, while great a bit mid by their standards
Imo, perhaps their best? 'Kashmir' is a really good track, but I find myself losing interest in a whole album. For me, the ultimate 'best of' band. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit 🫳 ★★★☆☆ (6/10) Total reviewed : 293 Already owned : 67 Purchased : 15 To buy : 3 Nope : 208

I enjoyed the rawness of the music
need to return to, enjoyed a few songs on the second half, maybe not my jam
I, III, and this one have a problem of being boring. if i were to describe what this sounds like, it would be “waiting for something that never arrives,” and I can’t tell if that something is the end of the album or some killer song. its pretty boring. there’s definitely some good songs on here (fav: trampled under foot) but they’re spaced too far apart. this album shouldn’t have been a double, in my opinion. would’ve saved me some time and been much better.
280/1001 Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ❓ In all honesty, this will never be the Zep album I would instantly gravitate towards and whilst I did enjoy it, I'd choose to listen to others by them over this.
Not my style but nice.
Takes me back to listening to 8-tracks as a child…cruising with high school friends on the way to mountain camping trips.
I was looking forward to listening to Led Zeppelin as I had heard a lot of good about them. This album started off great, but by the end i was waiting for it to finish. The last couple of songs didn't do it for me and i was phasing out of actually listening to some of them. Still the first half was great with different musical styles across the different tracks. I'll give this a 3/5 but it could easily have been a 4. Custard Pie 7 The Rover 8 In my time of dying 6 Houses of the Holy 6 Trampled Under Foot 5 Kashmir 8 In the Light 5 Bron-Yr-Aur 2 Down by the Seaside 7 Ten Years Gone 7 Night Flight 5 The Wanton Song 3 Boogie with Stu 3 Black Country Woman 4 Sick Again 4
no me pegué
Très diversifié !
Clear top 10 tracks in here, but I'm not sure I needed/wanted the room of a double LP. Things get muddled.
2nd Led Zeppelin in a month. Still not a huge fan. I liked 'Kashmir' and 'The Wanton Song'. And generally like the riffs but I still can't get used to certain elements of singing "Oh Baby" or "Hey Mama".
I'm not sure if this was better or worse than the last Led Zeppelin album we listened to, but it was still solid. I also don't know if it needed to be as long as it was, I would have to listen again to remember specific track names, but I think they could've left a few out. Kashmir is a legendary song, but did it need to be eight minutes? it just repeats the same three sections and then fades out. On the other hand, the long track list helped them flesh out some more variety, and I was a little bit, surprised by the versatility of styles. There was some diverse instrumentation, like the infamous strings and horns on Kashmir, and Mandolin on "boogie with stu." I think my favorite part of Led Zeppelin is the delicious syncopation, much of which is likely thanks to the legendary drummer; the way the drums intertwine with the guitar lick is always very satisfying. Like on Houses of the Holy for example, which was probably my favorite track. I also liked the following track, and Down by the Seaside.
82 minutes of Led Zeppelin? That's a lot of Led Zeppelin (and a lot of YouTube commercials to skip), and I'm not particularly inclined to listen a 2nd time, even though I'll admit that my attention wandered a bit, the first time. I generally liked this, and recognized a few of the songs -- most prominently Kashmir, which I do like. I think I'll give this 3 stars and be done. I don't hate Robert Plant's singing as much as I did when I was younger, but I still don't love it, so, anyway, yeah, 3 stars it is. I also suspect that if I listened again, I'd confirm my suspicion that a significant chunk of the songs (almost half?) are kinda meh (uninspired, not that interesting), so maybe it could have been a 4-star single album, instead of a 3-star double album.
J'adore Led Zep mais c'est peut-être pas leur album qui m'a le plus marqué
Pas trop ma came
I enjoyed side 2, downloaded a couple of trax, starting to get into LZ!
Going into this album i really didn’t think i would like any song (this type of music really isn’t my vibe) but i am pleased to say that i have added a few songs into my playlist. who ever the guitarist is shoutout. that’s all i can say. Solid first listen and first album to kickstart my 1001 album journey
while it's not my favorite Zeppelin album, its still pretty good. my one critique is that it's too long and probably could have pared it down to a single album.
I like the raw energy and unique sound, but most songs are very similar except the hits
No es mi género pero no se me hizo pesada la escucha.
An album that shows some of Led Zeppelin’s good qualities, but also what I dislike about them. It’s all very well performed, and they show their knack for making a great, dramatic song on Kashmir and a shorter, punchier song on Houses of the Holy. But I feel like individual songs and the album overall drag on too long. On a great song like Kashmir a longer run time is fine, but on less special tracks it feels a bit self-indulgent.
I really like the guitar riff, but it might lack originality.
Dad rock
In My Time of Dying dragged this on, but generally I felt this went too long. Skewed by being a kind of music I don’t tend to grooving out to. 3/5 overall. Would listen to if it’s on, but wouldn’t go and turn it on myself.
it was cool and i liked it but not sing-along-able for me. 6/10
It was alright, ive listened to it before and while i think its a wonderful album its not my vibe
pretty standard rock album. bet this blew people's minds back in the 70's
2nd time around, still a three
Perfectly fine. Probably not one of the best double albums ever.
Maybe I am not spending enough time with each album, but most that I’ve never heard before are just average. 3 stars.
There's some ok stuff on here, but it's punishingly long and I got bored. I completely tuned out at points. As an album, it's fine. 2 would be harsh but 3 seems generous
Okay
Rv
Im sorry but wake up people! These guys are just fine.
See the influence but doesn’t move me
A solid album by Led Zep is still pretty good. Although shouldn’t the song “Houses of the Holy” been on a different album?
Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti is one of those albums whose reputation almost precedes the music itself. It’s sprawling, ambitious, and undeniably significant—an artifact of a band at the height of its creative and commercial power. But it’s also a record that, for me, functions more as a cornerstone of a well‑rounded collection than as something I regularly spin. What makes Physical Graffiti compelling is its sheer range. The band stretches out stylistically: the sinewy funk of “Trampled Under Foot,” the atmospheric sprawl of “Kashmir,” the acoustic detours, the blues workouts, the hard‑rock swagger. It’s a double album that feels like a snapshot of everything Zeppelin could do, and that breadth is part of its historical weight. At the same time, that expansiveness is also why I don’t return to it often. The album’s length and uneven pacing make it feel more like a curated archive than a cohesive statement. There are brilliant peaks, but also stretches that feel like they’re there because the band had the space to fill. It’s a record I respect more than I love—an album I’m glad to own because it represents a pivotal moment in rock history, even if it’s not the one I instinctively reach for when I want to hear Zeppelin. Final Score: 3 out of 5 (would go 3.5 if I could) A must‑have for the shelf, but not a frequent flyer in my rotation.
So surprised that I only know one song on a Led Zeppelin double album. 🤷🏻♀️
This feels like the most generic Zeppelin album. Each of their numbered albums had its own vibe, and I liked that even if I didn't always love the specific outcome. But this album is the "Zeppelin sound" - elevated rock and roll, interesting instrumentation, killer riffs, soaring vocals. It's great stuff, I just (as always) wish it sounded bigger. All their albums sound to varying degrees like they were recorded on a dictaphone, and it just always prevents me truly enjoying them.
Wel oké
I am not a hard rock fan. Old and a little bit boring for me.
Hadn't listened to this album yet. For me a dissappointment. Expected more from Led Zeppelin.
Not as solid as Zeppelin III or IV. But still good. Probably could have cut it down a bit for better overall album
This album was... lengthy and a little rough around the edges. Other Zeppelin albums we've had have felt crisp musically, but the mess was m e s s y in this one. It was cacophonous at times, and not in an enjoyable way. There were some wonderful tracks with the standout being, of course, "Kashmir" but overall these didn't redeem the album as a whole for me.

This album gets weaker with every side. The first is very strong, containing the band's best horny jam, an extended blues epic, and my favorite Zeppelin song, "The Rover," which is smoother and hookier than a lot of the band's work. The second side is nearly as strong. For me, the dirty funk rock "Trampled Under Foot" is the highlight. Side three ventures into prog rock territory, and while some songs like "In the Light" are interesting I feel this is where the album starts to run low on ideas. The entire fourth side could have been cut. It's not bad necessarily - outside of the lyrics on "Sick Again" - but it does nothing the band hadn't done better before. Put it all together and this feels overstuffed despite containing much of the band's best work. A trimmed down version would be a masterpiece.
ok
3,5
fun bebop
I have listened to this twice now, and very objectively the second time. It is a genre/style of rock that generally does nothing for me. Musically it is very good, but not really my thing. there were elements of "in my time of dying" that i like but It all got lost in this grandiose peacocking that I do not like about classic rock. Kashmir was ok, a bit repetitive. In the light was ok. Down by the seaside and Ten Years gone and night flight had a nice bit of variation and was more chilled and less ostentatious Overall, it was ok, but still not my favourite style of rock music. Ten Years Gone was by far the standout track. 3 stars
I’m not sure if I like this. I’m a fan of the blues rock of I and II and I also love IV. I know these songs but the never hit me like the other stuff. On “houses of the holy”. I think this song was just over played. I’m realizing I know songs but not song titles. This album is ok. The light is so long a song I think I’ve thought it was three different songs depending where it was when I turned on the radio. 😂 Ok, so far “night flight” is the first song I hadn’t heard before. I’m still surprised how many songs I’ve heard and just don’t the name of. On the Wanton Song now. I think I like all these songs but not as an album. As an album it feels like it went on forever.
It was ok, liked one song for sure but the others were just ok - background music.
A bit disappointing 3/5
Yep, that's led zeppelin alright. Hard not to enjoy it, but nothing here that I hadn't heard already in their other albums we've had. I think I perhaps enjoyed this one the least of all the ones we've had. Still good though. Kashmir is pretty iconic...I actually thought wake up by ratm was sampling this riff, but apparently not, it's just very similar.... 3.5 but 3 as it was my least favourite of theirs
How many Led Zeppelin albums are on this list...
why do they think they can get away with more than two 5+mins songs overall a pretty decent album, obv loved the instrumentals, pretty basic divorced dad rock album lowk, they shld make the ratings out of 10 and add halfs
Weird to say, but a lot of this album felt like a slog. Probably won't ever listen to this full album again, but there's definitely some standout tracks that I'd happily put on.
en écoutant l'album à matin je me suis demandé pourquoi je l'avais pas écouté plus souvent que ça, pis après j'ai SUBI les quarante longues minutes qui suivent Kashmir. j'ai dû réécouter la première moitié une coupe de fois aujourd'hui pour me rappeler que c'est actually un pas pire album parce que je m'en allais mettre un deux étoiles généreux. chanson préférée : In My Time of Dying mentions honorables : Jimmy Page qui me féconde via that pre-chorus riff in The Rover #sexuel....... ; Robert Plant qui jouit à la fin de In My Time of Dying ; le boute de Kashmir with the strings and the WOUH-OUH-YEA-EE-YEAAAH
I was really excited for this one, but it just didn't hit
"Physical Graffiti" retains Led Zeppelin's characteristic feel and edge, but creates a grander production feel with this mix of rock genres. Superb performances from the drums and guitar in particular are mixed with some energetic beats, and the album is consistent, if not slightly lacking in creativity.
I'm a big fan of Zep and I think this one is probably non-essential. Kashmir carries this record, frankly, and 8 minutes out of an 80 minute double album is kind of frustrating. I never wanted to turn it off or skip to a different song, but I can't think of anything in particular I'd want to come back to for a fourth listen.
i like led zeppelin but holy hell this drags on for so long
Justo lo que necesitaba para volver en el colectivo después de las 18 hs. Esas guitarras y esa batería no dejaron espacio para ningún tipo de pensamiento ansioso. Realmente me desacostumbré a escuchar canciones que duran casi once minutos. Un viaje entero, desde Torcuato a Bella Vista. Nunca había escuchado este disco y es, para mí, completamente diferente a los que suelo escuchar de Led Zeppelin. Tal vez me falta escucharlo más para decir algo más objetivo, pero me gusta escribir solo desde mi perspectiva y sin saber absolutamente nada de música.
Great mix of musical styles; several radio favorites
Overly long with some songs dragging on and not terribly interesting. The vibe of the album is consistent I just didn’t get hooked in. The singles the come out are always great but I don’t get the hype around the overall output of led zeppelin. It was fine, not amazing
Some killer, some filler. I love quite a few Zeppelin songs, scattered across their entire discography, but I don’t think I really enjoy listening to entire albums of theirs. This could’ve easily been a single LP and perhaps I’d be rating it higher.
kinda boring, mas ótimos instrumentais!!!!
No listened to Led Zeppelin before, and not what I expected them to sound like. Some decent, soft rocky tracks but nothing that really does it for me
Middle of the road Zeppelin
Was fine. Didn't enjoy it as much as thr other Zeppelin albums I've heard
One of the world's greatest cover bands
me and my friend were harassed in a record shop a few days ago, the owner was absolutely insistent that we buy this. i mean it's a good album but maybe not THAT good
moaning and groaning for 82 mins
It was fine, objectively good album just not my thing
Disc 1 I know very well, just straight rock bangers. One thing I love about this album is how loose it is, the guitar playing is so loose and sloppy at times but that's what makes it so human, the drums which sit so far back you'd be driving a car from the back seat! And John Paul Jones genius instrumentation and sonfwriting! He is the glue that holds it all together and the tightest of them all, without him it'd be nothing! To be honest I'm not Robert Plant's biggest fan as he's a bit waily for me at times, but still an amazing singer. Disc 2 starts off with some more experimental stuff in the light is like a heavy Beatles track. Going into bron-yr-aur some great folky guitar playing there giving Jimmy boy his time to shine. Apparently that's the name of the cottage in Wales they wrote a lot of the tunes. Down by the seaside love that tract but never heard it in context of the album, flows so nicely into ten years gone which is a great composition full of juicy chords for a rock band! Unfortunately I think Custard Pie and The Rover just drag on too much, they're great tracks but I get bored, they could've been much shorter and more interesting. Trampled under foot and houses of the holy great jams. I really don't care for the majority of the lyrics on this album though they're just downright cheesy, bad or creepy, check out Sick Again if you want to see what I mean... It was the 70s but a song about being tempted to fuck fans that turn 16 soon that followed you since they were 13.. Nope nah I'm out. At least the music makes up for the lyrical shortcomings, I enjoyed this music more when I was a bit younger but now I think this album does drag on a bit as a whole. Something you should definitely listen to but not a regular rotation, some tracks off it sure but as a whole it's a bit like eating custard pie after custard pie.. 2.5 as a whole for me but I'll round it to 3
Not the biggest Zeppelin fan but this is a decent listen
Again I have to say would have been an amazing single album.
Rock
This is Zep’s weakest album in my opinion. It’s not very cohesive, it’s too long, and many of the songs feel like throwaways. Still some great tunes on here. In My Time of Dying and Wanton Song are standouts, but there’s too much unnecessary filler.
This was good. Kashmir is just such a good song. I was kind of surprised at how much 12-bar blues I was hearing throughout this.
I expected Led Zeppelin to be awesome. On this album they don’t quite live up to that expectation. nothing jumped out to make me want to buy this on vinyl Again a 70s album Hailed as one of the greatest double albums of all time, I can’t help but wish this record was actually a single LP.
A bit repetitive for my taste
I really don’t love Zeppelin, and I feel like we get one of their albums generated to us every 2 weeks. Fav track was “Kashmir,” because I recognized it from a sample in the 90s/2000s, and I love hearing the original. Overall, he’s still wailing.
It’s got some good songs some okay songs and some long songs
Not my style but it's not that bad
Not bad, but not my favourite Zeppelin album.
I love Led Zeppelin and they never really disappoint me so here we go. I have also already heard a lot of this album. It is kind of a long one though, but they tend to have long albums so I am not very surprised. The first two tracks kind of have me a little bored, but maybe I am just tired. I have been falling behind on albums though so I am really trying to catch up. I might just listen to the first disc of this album. I feel like on this album especially, the songs are very long. Track 3 is nearly 11 minutes and I think that is what really has me bored. I think everything about this album is just too long to be considered that enjoyable.
Bueno, pero para nada mi gusto
It stays a bit too long but in the first half at least it has a bit of a funkier groove than their bluesier origins.
It's probably a curse of an artist to have this many albums in their discography, or to have such a high peak; at a certain point, there has to be enough there not to just send me back to IV or Houses of the Holy, and Phyical Graffiti feels like another run of the same kind of songs, only with a certain playful quality largely missing. There's good stuff, of course — "Houses of the Holy," "Trampled Under Foot," "Kashmir," "Black Country Woman," "Ten Years Gone." But most of it feels bland. I imagine big fans of the band or the genre may feel very differently. As a kid, I dove deep into their catalog because my library made all their albums available on CD. But all these years later, I'm probably closer to a "greatest hits compilation" fan, and whatever nuance Physical Graffiti has is lost on me.
Call me uneducated by I can't differentiate this much from the other Led Zeppelin albums I've heard, though I do think it's a step down from Led Zeppelin IV. I do like how there's this tangible feeling of loneliness in some of the tracks, but loneliness is expressed as a big and sweeping feeling rather than a forlorn one. Favorite song: Ten Years Gone.
I'm not the biggest Zeppelin fan but an okay Zep record is better than most.
Von hartem Rock über bluesige Grooves bis hin zu experimentelleren Stücken bietet die Platte eine breite Palette an Ideen. Allerdings wirkt die Länge des Albums stellenweise etwas ausufernd, und nicht jeder Track erreicht das gleiche kreative Niveau wie die Highlights. Trotz kleiner Schwächen bleibt Physical Graffiti ein wichtiges Werk der Band – ambitioniert, mutig und voller ikonischer Momente, aber nicht durchgehend fesselnd genug.
Some great stuff on the first potion but it just kept going and going. Kashmir and In My Time of Dying are all timers.
Interesting seeing Zepplin explore other genres, challenging what I knew of them
3,5/5 + It's long and it has a consistent style. It became hard for me to tell where a Song ends and a new Song begins, but it did flow + The album has a great amount of energy + The rock sound of Led Zeppelin is iconic and nostalgic to me - i was baffled how hard is for me to Name Songs that i liked from this album, except Kashmir
The music is decent, it's just way too long.
A little overblown and too long in places, but varied stylistically with some very strong tracks too, such as Kashmir, Houses of the Holy and Trampled Under Foot. Worth listening to again.
Classic bluesy progy rock. I’ll always prefer II and IV but I do remember listening to this one a lot when I had a big classic rock phase in middle/high school.
Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 4/5
De certeza que este álbum é quase perfeito para quem é fã dos Led Zeppelin. Infelizmente, eu nao sou fã da banda. Ja tentei algumas vezes ouvir álbuns deles e nunca me cativaram. Pshysical Graffiti não foi diferente. Demasiado extenso (1h22), algumas músicas demasiado longas e, embora eu reconheça que seja incrível, a voz não é o meu género. No entanto, todas as músicas ouvem-se relativamente bem e há algumas que gostei mas nada do outro mundo.
pretty decent
It’s good and it all blends together, but 1hr & 23 mins is tough
Love Kashmir, do't care what people think about that. Song is a banger from start to finish. An unquestionable classic, even if Diddy and Plant did it.
Best-Kashmir & custard pie Worst-black country woman The first half was better than the second half 😜 3/5
Some of it is just the 60s/70s guitar music I’m just kinda over, but Led Zeppelin was always more than that. Down by the Seaside proves that and elevates the album to something beyond its era and genre.
"The eight songs extended beyond the length of a conventional album, almost spanning three sides of an LP, so the group decided to create a double album, adding material they'd recorded for previous albums but never issued." So they put songs that weren't strong enough for previous albums on this to fill a double album. It's too long, Kashmir is the only stand out and it's so good it stands miles above the rest. Found this a slog to get through. 3/5.
I like Zeppelin’s music (not so much the people), but this is yet another double album that didn’t need to be a double album. That alone rates this below albums like IV and Houses of the Holy
Several legendary tracks but this album has always felt uneven and perhaps a little disjointed.
Yeah its good. Always bagged this album for years. just a little bit long for me
Sounds like Zeppelin.
Innovative rock music. Felt a bit samey at times.
Overall not a bad album, but like a lot of their stuff some of it is just to long and very self indulgent.
Did not like this as much as I expected I would. Too many different experiments and not all that succesfull imo
A classic.
This is not my sort of thing, a low 3 for me
The first half of this album is wicked. Prog, blues, hard rock goodness. The latter part of the double album seems to be a lot of offal from other albums. Honestly if this was just a single album including In the Light and Bron-Yr-Aur this would have stuck better
está bien
Obviously Kashmir is one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Otherwise I just don’t really connect with Zeppelin.
Starting off strong, the first song being 11 min long, really good tho. Love the different instruments and sounds used. Rating: 7/10
Led Zeppelin's always been somewhat of a blind spot for me. I know the big hits, and I owned a copy of LZ IV like 30 years ago. It just never sticks with me. Favorite song: Kashmir
Liebe das Albumcover
𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘪 feels like a sprawling showcase of everything Led Zeppelin could do, but not always with the same level of inspiration. The double-album format gives it range, yet also exposes unevenness: strong ideas sit alongside material that feels more like filler than intention. 𝗞𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗶𝗿 is the undeniable centerpiece — massive, hypnotic, and enough on its own to justify the album’s reputation — but the surrounding tracks don’t consistently match its focus or power. The record still has its place in the catalog, but it functions more as a broad document of the band’s abilities than as one of their most compelling statements.
It truly sounds like every other rock album during the 70s, it was a fun listen while at the gym but would I listen to is after this time... Probably not.
Was good
6/10 - не слушал
Favourite Songs: Down By The Seaside The Wanton Song
ne secam ga se jbg, al bio je ok rokcina
Goede muziek, maar weinig variatie op het album.
Although I was in my 20s when they came out I didn't get to appreciate their music until much later. Not their best album but I enjoyed it all the same.
not bad, some great songs, quite long
I don't think I get this album. I usually like rock, but I genuinely got bored listening to it, I just wanted it to be over by the end. Half of the songs are very generic and I can't seem to enjoy his singing. I don't the if it's just spotify, but the sound quality was not great, either. Notable favorite: The Rover This album's greatest weakest us it's length- which generally isn't an issue for me, but in this case the songs just aimlessly drag on and on. Not a bad album but nothing noteworthy.
Yeah I get it but it's not really for me. The guitar goes crazy I can't lie. But kinda noisy FOR ME!
Good rock album but probably not the best way to get into this band because the standouts sounds like 80's rock music which is where to say since was probably generational back then.
This album has some great tracks but at time it feels like listening to rehearsals or demo recordings.
Some good songs, some boring songs
not my fave
This album is as Zeppelin as it gets. Maybe I grew up and moved on from records that exceed the 45-minute mark, but I'm sure my past self would have enjoyed these songs as much as the ones on the band's first four albums. Even though it is supposed to be a landmark in rock music, I just simply don't feel it. Maybe not a great 'one-sitting' album, but it would make a fantastic road trip companion.
fine, not exactly my cup of tea
I was delighted to have led zep suggested. One of the greatest rhythm sections in rock. But I was really surprised by the lazy production values. It's no wonder Jimmy page has spent his career remixing and remastering. The guitars sound dropped in and tinny Robert plant sounds like he's singing in the shed outside. The bass sounds like a synthesiser. But omg those drums. And kashmir is brilliant
Some good tracks on the album. Don't mind the length just enjoy sitting back and taking it in.
Pretty good if a little samey. Some of the songs dragged on a bit.
