Reviews (page 12 of 13)
Вроде как первая часть мощная, да вроде как и вполне вывез вторую. Короче, ребята на базе, мб лучшее, что мы от них слышали
Led Zeppelin zijn wel OG’s, ik luister er alleen niet echt naar. Trampled Under Foot is wel een banger
Prima old skool rock album. Af en toe wat lange nummers, maar kon dit prima wegluisteren. Had het gevoel dat ‘Kashmir’ (sample) ergens gebruikt werd als CoD song.
Heel degelijke classic rock, niet geheel mijn smaak, maar toch leuk een keer geluisterd te hebben
it’s actually pretty nice, but the second half is very lackluster
This is not the Led Zeppelin I heard in Led Zeppelin 2. I don’t know who these people are. Not nearly as good. Kashmir was a hit though. I’ll give them that. The rest was very mid. 6/10
Yeah to be honest I think this is one of the weaker Zeppelin albums. It comes off as a more generic rock mish mash that blends together and tbh the album goes too long as well at almost 1.5 hours. Some great tracks for sure but I'd never listen to this front to back again. 6/10
Blusier than what they're usually known for
It aight. Suitable PUBG music - 6/10
Not amazing, not terrible. Definitely long. I liked it in the beginning but it got kinda old by the end, even though there was some variety. 6/10
I didn't really enjoy any of the songs but they werent that bad 5/10
I was slammed at work so I couldn’t listen deep. It was alright.
Un buen disco de hard rock que en ocasiones se siente demasiado largo. Las interpretaciones de Robert Plant son bastante más arriesgadas que en discos anteriores, sin embargo, no en todas las ocasiones juega a favor de las canciones. Physical Graffiti se podría haber dividido en dos LPs diferentes para facilitar su escucha que, puede ser demasiado para quienes no manejan el lenguaje previo construido por la banda.
Kinda expected to like this album more given the legendary status led zeppelin holds in rock. It's good, but there weren't alot of tracks that stood out to me. Favorite track was trampled under foot.
Okayy now Led must be more fun than Bob Dylan. First song and it's deep purple coded. I must say I love rock and metal generally, though it's not my favourite genre. And Led always delivers it well, it's repetitive and I'm not bored. Second song and quite a nice start. Guitar solo in my right ear with the drums in the middle. I like full songs and this is one of them. The instruments overplaying on eachother is veery fun, and his voice isn't annoying at all. Again omfg third song is 11 minutes, pink Floyd who. Loved this, it was energetic, kept me entertained, couldn't have wished for more can't wait for the next song. 4th song is a lot shorter, 4 minutes and so far it's good. I mean I will probably like every song of this album, because I have no problem listening to it, howeverr, I doubt I'd listen to it again much. 5th song exactly same, I wanna listen to this, but no idea if I would do it again. Going well, it's just so good I can't say anything else. 6th song and I've heard their instruments somewhere, I'll check it later. Also 8 minutes and not a sign of boredom. 7th song again fun, I'm just listening to it in background and dunno anything about lyrics, it's just very amusing 8th song is only 2 minutes and it's apparently an interlude, well not a standout definitely. 9th song has a one good part he repeats a lot, but not enough, I didn't like the guitar but it was not horrible. Medium song this was. 10th song is not so different either, I like it tho. The guitar chords are fun to listen to. That's mostly it. It was a long journey it a monotonous one as expected. 11th song, includes type of voice I like, plus the guitar in both of my ears but different sounds they make, is superior. 12th song, I'm kinda tired about me having to say things about each of them, because they have the same good fucking vibe, I just like them, there's nothing else to be said. I liked the endings guitar slamming. 13th also has the good ending and start, the between was quite as the other songs, easy listening for me tbh, also this was metal at the start but now it's kinda nott. 14th song starts slow and is slow apparently. It has a beat afterwards, guitar in my right ear and left one too, just a little different. 15th song was also good though I was half asleep. This is the only song I don't remember much, and the only one I haven't rated while listening to the album. Basically, it was really nice the deep purple vibes got me. Wouldn't really listen to this so I'd say 3 stars, but if I rated it as how good it was it would have been 4 probably.
Great music. Solid listen!
Not my type.
I'm all for maximalism but the Beatles and Dylan barely had enough grade-A shit for double albums. Zep...did not.
I want to like Led Zeppelin so bad, it just doesn't hold up when they go prog. Recording quality isn't clear enough to support that sound. As soon as they hit a straight ahead rock beat the boomy drums instantly get you bobbing your head, but those moments are few and far between the later in their discography you listen. I wish I could give 3.5 stars because I respect the hell out of them for this record, it just doesn't hold up in the modern era.
these culture vulture pedophiles go hard sometimes
Kashmir and Houses of the Holy are great songs, but the album in general just doesn't hit like Zeppelin I, II, or IV.
Pretty good. I haven't listened to much classic rock, but the guitars and drums sound great on this album, and the vocals have so much personality to them. I do feel like some of the songs are too long. Does "In the Light" need to end with "light" being said 25 times? I don't think so. Similarly, "Kashmir," great song, too long. "The Wanton Song" is pleasant throughout.
No fan - canciones demasiado largas sin letra - 6
Good but too long. Should have been a single disc album.
Great individual tracks, lacks cohesion, overlong
Un album assez puéril de la part de Led Zeppelin. Ces derniers vont en effet débarquer dans différents squats munis de bombes de peinture et taguer les murs d'un "Led Zep" du plus mauvais goût avant de détaler comme des lapins. Pas digne d'eux.
Le virus LedZep est devenu tout bonnement incontrôlable, nous piratant plus de 1h30 de notre vie
Led Zeppelin is a big blond spot for me, I only know the hits. I'm not sure this was the right album to start their discography with, I wasn't overly impressed with it.
Actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I find Led Zeppelin a bit of a struggle to get through and at 1hr 23 mins I wasn't looking forward to it, BUT it was actually pretty good. Good hooks from Jimmy Paige throughout, Robert Plant is a bit overly waily and too faux American in places but overall, not the slog I thought it would be.
It was alright stand outs were Bron-Yr-Aur and Boogie With Stu. Not my type of music, sure had some good riffs and stuff though, personally a 6.5 out of 10
There were a few decent songs on the first side -- notably Kashmir. The B side sounded like a Zepplin homage band playing in a bar. Which may have been the sound they were going for!
Zeppelin has such an iconic sound if you heard one Zep song you’ve heard them all. Didn’t hook me til halfway through the 3rd track. Usually albums front load with their best songs and singles. This one buries them in the middle. Zeppelin is pure stoner music. All I wanted the whole time was to be high off my ass, making out in the basement from That 70’s Show. Tracks added to my Spotify… 4
Never been the biggest fan of led zeppelin. Kashmir is always a cool song. Did love how puff daddy sampled it. Boogie with stu is a damn cool song first time I heard it.
Some pretty good stuff, but also way too long and padded with fluff.
not as blown away by this as I was hoping. It was ok but nothing special.
its not too bad, so long and a bit dull but the music is okay
One of my biases is that I’m just not a big fan of heavy rock or metal. That being said I can get behind Robert Plant’s unique voice, and Led Zeppelin is a band I can like in short burst. While “Kashmir” is undeniably a great song the rest of the album is only so-so. I saw another reviewer say that this is an 8 song record forced to be 15 and I wholeheartedly agree. It’s diminishing returns past the halfway point. 3/5
Still not vibing with zeppelin at all. Of all the classic rock bands its maybe the biggest difference between popular opinion and my own i think.
First half was good. Lost steam in back half. Definitely more mature sound than first album
Can't believe I'm saying this about a Zep album but that was almost...tame? A lot more major keys and \"lightness\" vs their earlier, darker, heavier sound. Favorite track: Kashmir
Two and a half stars but I’ll be generous with the 3!
Really starts to sound the same after a while
yep, that's a led zeppelin album
It was pretty good! I don’t love Led Zeppelin’s style of rock in general, but I didn’t hate this. I really enjoyed “Kashmir” especially. I think an hour and 22 minutes felt too long though, especially since most of the songs were so similar.
nid so miis, irgendwenn töned alli lieder gliich :/ isch glaub sones 2.5/5
That one was interesting
Starts strong but really drags on after a while.
Not their best work but great album by this classic band. Kashmir alone makes it worth it.
Radio hits are tolerable. My favorite parts were the songs that didn't sound like Zeppelin and the silence between tracks. 3.0
More enjoyable than I expected. Didn't like the singing.
No.
Liked it, idk. At a certain point some 70s rock sounds similar to me. I'll def listen again but not the most invested.
Yes, there are some absolute classics. But, it meanders for too long with uninteresting filler tracks.
They are a great rock band. It's just not the type of rock that I am into.
Classic Zepp
Not Zep at their best, still some good songs. Like a 3.5.
quite over indulgent and long, probably prefer their first 4 albums
Kind of heavy but good sounds
Previously known and enjoyed
Better than some of the other ones!
I think I just burnt out on Zepp back in high school. Can't deny their significance or talent, but I just can't seriously listen to it any more.
cool music
I understand the historical significance of Led Zeppelin, but right now I’m just bored
Ah parece ser legal mas NN é muito meu estilo
Very classic rock. Has some really cool tracks (which are widely known), but not everything is to my liking.
Was already familiar with album. Pretty good, some songs sound too much alike. Forgot how much I like Down by the Seaside
Controversial this but…don’t get it. It’s all just “look at me” rock cliche. I’d rather give it a miss.
Led Zeppelin has always been one of the best. This album, however ran a little too long for my tastes. Give me Kashmir and I’m good.
I cant listen to Kashmir anymore. I’m done w that song. There’s some funkiness to this album (In My Time of Dying and Houses of the Holy), but it’s also overly long. I would have cut 30% of it out.
Long songs
I wrote a whole review on the computer, but basically, the song starts out with a bunch of really good songs, then it quickly becomes way too long and tedious.
Some recognisable songs.
Few notable songs in the album. The music was better mixed than the singing
3.5, it's objectively good but not my favorite work of theirs. It's about a 50% hit rate. Got more jammy than I remembered
Great for a car ride Too poppy for work
Much more enjoyable as a LZ sampler than LZ 3
Some of my favourites on here but it is overly long and a bit mediocre at times. Feel kinda bad putting this at 3 but there's plenty of Led Zep on the list to go around.
The only reason this album is on this list is because it says Led Zeppelin.
One of those classic albums that you can’t say no to. Probably worth a four but I think I’ve listened to enough Zeppelin in my life.
I struggled decided on giving this 3 or 4 stars. On one hand, there are some genuinely really good songs on this, but on the other hand, I found it to be overly long. If this was shortened to a single LP with the filler taken off I’d definitely give it a 4, maybe even a 5.
Not my genre of music. I think if I played an instrument I might appreciate this one more.
alright. good intro to classic rock? is that what Led Zeppelin is? I liked the instrumentals and although it’s not my usual style I know it’s good music.
I always thought of myself as an average Led Zeppelin fan, which means I love their well known part of discography and just disregard everything else. Today I had a quick date with that "everything else" part. Unfortunately, it didn't end on a positive note. Big highlight of the album is the song "Kashmir", which has one of my favourite guitar riffs of all time. What is really surprising, is that this song just sticks out both in quality and thematically from the album. All the other tracks are in different style, just like a random mashup of some (good) guitar solos and Plant's vocal, which is slowly grinding your gears on this album. I would never think that I will have such a bad time listening to Led Zeppelin record, but here we are.
I don't think I listened to it all but what I heard was fine.
I thought it was good. Some of the guitar riffs were really entertaining. Not 100% sure if I like the lead singers voice, but I did in some of the songs.
too long, still good. i like 4 better. 3.5 kashmir
Way too long
Not bad. Kinda cool to hear some songs that aren’t played over and over again on the radio.
oh god i knew one would come up eventually Listening to a zeppelin hit: awesome, groovy, I'm having so much Listening to a zeppelin album: tedious, fatiguing, by the end of it feel like I'm listening to two petulant children scream for attention to drown out one of the nicest rhythm sections in the genre ultimately I just don't get it like everyone else does, they're just good, and the response to any criticism against this band just makes me wanna double down on it cos everyone's so fucking annoying about it that being said it's still like 3 stars of course
Favourites: • In My Time of Dying • Kashmir
Its a strong, epic, guitar-forward sound. I'm starting to understand why Led Zepplin are well known. Some of the longer songs are way too self-indulgent and repetitive for my taste.
Zeppelin seem here to be pulling from their unfinished songbooks and going into the studio to jam. Still great stuff, but for Zepplin only mid tier work.
2nd listen. Led Zeppelin is fine, but I don’t have much to say about them.
I feel like this needs multiple listens, because as good as some of the songs were to me (ex. Kashmir, Houses of the Holy) and how some are stone cold classics, it felt like this album dragged way more than I was expecting. I loved listening to Page's riffs and Plant wailing with soaring vocals, while their rhythm section was as tight as can be, songs like In My Time of Dying and some others felt way too long, or felt like other songs on the album. It just felt really really bloated, so I can't rate this as high as I would expect.
Could've used some trimming of songs and song length. Houses of the Holy and Presence are better than this!
Good, but far from the previous albums
3.5 Some of my favorite under appreciated Led Zeppelin tracks are on this album including: in my time of dying, down by the seaside, and ten years gone.
its ok, too long for a casual listen tho
This is a Zeppelin album. Not my fav album, but has Kashmir which is pretty redemptive. I like Zeppelin so it's hard for me to be super objective. This was a pretty good album, but not a great one.
It's not the best Led Zep album, and it's definitely overlong I think. That said there's some good standout tracks, and the rest of the album is generally pretty solid. Contrary to a lot of people, I actually think I prefer the second half more. I like a lot of the chilled songs, and I think there's some real nice grooves going on. Across the whole album I found a decent amount of songs quite generic though. 3.5 rounded down.
Not their best album, but it does get better the more you listen. Classics like Kashmir and Houses of the Holy are always gooders, but found some other songs I didn’t know about and enjoyed. Listen again: yes, it’s the Zep after all! Purchase for my collection: probably, just to have a complete collection one day. Favourite Song: Trampled Under Foot Worst Song
couldn't get into it, i liked jack white's fanfiction better
Physical Graffiti is the sixth album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin and is a double album. This popular album comprises genres of hard rock, progressive rock, and folk rock. It released to commercial success, charting number one in the UK and number three in the US. The immediate success at release could have been due in part to the delay in the design of the album cover which pushed back the release date by 3 months, while the album tour started about a month ahead of the delayed release, allowing presales to add up. It was certified platinum in the US based off these presales alone, and is currently certified 16x platinum. Critics have said that this album is the "high-water mark" or peak for the band because of the creative energy inside and I think I agree with that. This is my favorite Led Zeppelin album I've listened to so far and I highly recommend it to any rock fans that haven't heard it already.
kasmir is dead good but that's about it for this album. fairly forgettable.
This record caused my erection to wilt like a primrose at Chernobyl, but in a good way.
Robert Plant fancies babies
Bättre än ja trodde några bra twangs nog
This is a hard album for me to rate. I know I enjoy it, but I also know that I don’t remember a large chunk of the songs. Some of Led Zeppelin’s best moments is on here (In My Time Of Dying, Kasmir), but it’s also 82 minutes long. Ultimately, the album’s structure as a whole supercedes my personal enjoyment of the music. Strong 3
Didn't like the first few songs, but it got better. + Trampled Under Foot + Kashmir + In The Light + Down By The Seaside + Ten Years Gone + The Wanton Song
Decent album with a couple of good songs
Though sometimes scarce, there’s some greatness on every Led Zeppelin album. Often in awe at some of the drumming exhibited on their tracks. Some songs were just okay, and some dragged on. Sorry to criticize the great zep. But…not a perfect band by any means. A little bit overrated in my books.
Led Zeppelin are commonly known to be a pretty good band and one of the pioneers in the rock and roll and even hard rock space. I've listened to most Led Zeppelin albums and I don't know what it is but this one doesn't hit it for me like say I or II do. Custard Pie is an alright opener - very straightforward stuff that for me doesn't really get me tappin until I hear that harmonica. Things start getting better with The Rover. In My Time of Dying is good but could be half the length. Then we get to for me the highlights of the album, Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir. The second half of the album it starts to get a little boring. Bron-Yr-Aur is a nice little ditty and Down By The Seaside is nice - but nothing here is really memorable for me except The Wanton Song. Anyways it's a solid 3. If I wanted to listen to some Led Zeppelin I'd choose another album.
It's Led Zeppelin, what more does one really have to say? Absolutely a classic album with top notch musicianship. Brought me back to my late teens/early 20s. These days I find I'm rarely turning back the Page and listening to Zep, this re-listen reminded me why. They've become a band that I get excited about when I hear a random song in the wild, but am not getting my rocks off while listen to a full (double) LP. Biggest complaint about this album is that its SO long winded. Most of the songs are longer than they have to be and there are some filler songs in the back half. In My Time of Dying is a great song but 11 minutes is a bit much. In The Light could end at 6 minutes but drags for another 2. I could go on. Favourites are The Rover and Trampled Under Foot. Overall, I'm slightly disappointed but still a solid album.
A nice listen but not to the same level as their earlier albums Kashmir not withstanding. It felt a bit disjointed and cobbled together a Frankenstein's monster if you will. Not likely to listen to this whole album again for a long time.
A non essential led zeppelin album. Lots of self indulgent guitar tangling and Kashmir
I’ve listened to a lot of Led Zeppelin in hopes of appreciating them, but it just never connects for me. I listened to this album in 2020 and my feeling then was the same as today. I don’t really care for this but I don’t mind the second half. “Kashmir” is probably the only Led Zeppelin song I can honestly say I like.
The music was fine, just not my genre.
Good sounds, but none of it particularly stood out. The vocals all sounded the same and kind of muted. Would listen to it though as background music, but I wouldn't jam out to it.
Huh turns out I don't like Led Zeppelin
Some real highlights such as The Rover, In My Time of Dying, Ten Years Gone. Not a big fan of the funk-inspired Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir is a little overrated. Side 4 is also fairly weak.
Id only listen to Kashmir, otherwise I'm pretty bored
Great riffs. Great drums. Not great songs.
Mulla on aina ollut pelko, että tykkään Led Zeppelinistä. Ja niinhän mä tykkään. Tarpeeks pre-stoner-jyystöä.
Score: 50 I was ready to give this album an 80. Then the last 3 songs played and it occurred to me. I really dislike a lot about this album. Instrumentally great, some catchy songs and riffs for sure. A major problem I have is the writing and the vocals. I don't dislike the vocals when they are sung at a normal cadence and volume, but a lot of the time it's so much louder than that. I don't need to hear high pitched wailing lyrics that are sometimes mixed so loud that I literally can not hear the instruments anymore. It doesn't help that a lot of them are generally vapid and generic and are often repeated over and over. I don't really love the country influence and the funk influence is fun but I do wonder how much of it is just stolen from other artists. It wouldn't be a classic rock album without having an entire song about how hard it is not to instantly bust a nut at the sight of a 15 year old girl, and unfortunately on this album it's the very last song. Hearing a whining douche bag for an hour and a half to have it end with him desperately grooming children lowered the score immensely for me. I don't care what anyone says this shit is dated as fuck and with so much better music out there I don't feel the need to ever ever return to this mediocre pedophile music
Overall, I liked the album a lot. I liked that the album had several different styles, which gave it some nice variety. The song I liked the most was Trampled Under Foot and Down by the Seaside, but I also thought Bron-Yr-Aur was very interesting (and Kashmir reminded me of Goldeneye)
Ik houd er niet van, maar vind het best goed 😊. Vooral ‘Kashmir’ uiteraard.
Kashmir. Nuff said.
I just don't care for the vocals.
Some great songs on here. Would have given a 4, but it went on a little long for me.
I love Zeppelin, but this album has never been my favorite. Aside from a few good tunes like Houses of the Holy and Ten Years Gone there isn't much to gain here. There are definitely better Zep albums. That being said still enjoyable.
Just the second side.
Does he actually fully hit a single note on 'The Rover'? Wasn't super happy to see a Zeppelin double record to show up, but here we are. Also disappointed that the only word you can spell out downwards on the sleeve is PIG. I guess it'll have to do.
Probably a band that’s best of is one of the best out but this is a lot of Led.
It's good. Just a little overplayed by this time. Kind of sick of a lot of these songs. 10 years gone was great
Great album. Not my bag.
Quite reasonable effort though too long.
Did not get to really listen to this album from what I heard it was okay.It’s really long at an hour and 12 mins.I’ll listen to it another time
Very long. A lot of the songs sounded similar.
5/10 meh
What other kind of graffiti is there
I don't know my opinion of Led Zeppelin. Do I love them? Do I hate them? Not either of those two extremes, but I cannot work out where I sit between the poles. It may very well be the case that I like exactly half their songs and dislike the other half, with most congregating around the central meh axis and vanishingly few entering the territory of either adoration (I revel in the riff to Babe I'm Gonna Leave You) or contempt (I recoil at the riff to You Shook Me). In the past, I have tried to delude myself that I thought of Led Zeppelin more worshipfully that I actually did, since they were historical totems of rock; indeed, I gave Led Zep III 4 stars in this generator, when the folky nonsense spread over side 2 made it a definitive 3 and not a crumb beyond. But, in part thanks to this quest, I have realised that I'm not required to venerate Led Zep, just as I'm not required to crucify them. But calling them average seems to miss significant points. Surely a group with such mystique, such ambition and such notoriety, by sheer dint of such a legacy, could never be considered boilerplate? I can accept that point, but only somewhat. Yes, I can grasp the outré fascination of, say, the red snapper incident, but such bacchanalia also begat more pitiful anecdotes. I feel utterly miserable writing this, but John Bonham's alcoholism had left him incontinent aged 26, requiring the roadies to carry around a supply of adult nappies. Still, there's always the music. But as I said, large portions of the music leave me, if not quite cold, then indifferent. And with Physical Graffiti, we have Led Zep being their most Led Zep. Recorded after a sabbatical to allow John Paul Jones some R&R, Physical Graffiti emerged from numerous jam sessions that solidified into concrete songs. These songs took up more space than a single album allowed, so the group padded it out to a double with the help of previously disregarded material from earlier albums (is that ominous?). So, we have Led Zep going XXL and attempting all the genres they knew. Well, all the genres they felt most comfy adopting, or rather individual aspects of genres that didn't remotely jar with their established template. It all basically revolves around the Led Zep locus of heavy blues rock, only sometimes they add a bit of folk to their heavy blues rock, or they try a proggy heavy blues rock number, or they plant in some country licks to a song that's heavy blues rock. The result is that the promoted epicness of Physical Graffiti feels restricted, as if it's just an album consisting of one track and its remixes. Couple that identikit style to such corpulently long songs, and the effect on the listener isn't inspiration or ravishment, it's burnout. Of course, Physical Graffiti has a few cracking riffs, and those already persuaded by Led Zep should find this to be exactly what they want from Led Zep (friends of mine who are Led Zep fans proclaim this a masterpiece to me). But we Led Zep agnostics will find nothing to reverse either our lack of faith or our lack of disbelief. And we're allowed to hold such positions in liberal democracy. You lot should salute us moderates. We're the ones keeping National Zeppelism at bay. Also, is there any graffiti that isn't physical? Can you get metaphysical graffiti? Can you paint a big hairy cock and balls on a synthetic a priori concept? NoRadio, signing off.
I have never listened to a Zep album post the numbered ones. So this will be new to me, with the exception of the hits, obviously Kashmir and Bron Yr Aur are known to me! This is a case of a band having too much money and too much freedom. It's still Zep, but it's a bit too bloated and excessive. Obviously there are all time bangers, but there's also a lot of overlong, overproduced stuff on here.
The best or second best Zep record.
Siendo el sexto álbum de Zep podemos decir que fue su proyecto más ambicioso hasta el momento, y posiblemente, de su carrera. Viéndose muy inmersos en su composición, tuvieron una suerte de juego en el cual iban improvisando y sumando sonidos nuevos a las canciones, nunca dejando de lado su estilo. Con temas que hacen alusión al blues, folk, progresión, y orquestación, hicieron una mezcla muy rica que hace de su escucha una amplia gama de géneros y la cual, por momentos, se hace densa de escuchar. La extensión del proyecto por momentos es algo que juega en contra. Cómo imponiendo un largo innecesario a las canciones, hacen que algunas se vayan más allá de los 8 minutos, haciéndolas algo repetitivas. Pero como podemos hablar de eso, también podemos hablar de lo bien que están usados los tiempos en composiciones como "Kashmir", que hacen de cada tramo, un momento sonoro increíble.
Great.
Pretty catchy
While sporting some of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, "Physical Graffiti" also boasts an unfair share of boring blues.
This was a really unfortunate day to get an 85 minute album as the rush I was in yesterday will continue until Tuesday. Somehow I was able to listen to the whole thing and it did not live up to any of the self titled albums that preceded it. Kashmir is still good but otherwise it just felt like more of the same I guess. The same is still good and maybe it was just the circumstances of the day but I wasn’t a huge fan.
Pretty good.
Decent album, but not my favourite Zeppelin by far.
Sometimes could be hard to listen but it's an ellaborated album
Sonically really good, songs just dragged on too long
The album is pretty good and has several well known songs. It is long and it does not need to be this long. Some of the songs could be cut down by several minutes or even in half. The second disc is different from the first disc and isn't as good as the first.
Noen utrolig gode sanger på slutten; men første halvdel minner om et kissalbum
I don't really care for Led Zep and this album is a bit too long
More interesting than other Led Zep i've listened to but a bit too long for me.
Another one I started but didn't finish but will go back to.
Found this a tricky listen, I’m very familiar with LedZep I - IV but I’ve never listened to this before. First two songs didn’t grab me at all but ‘In my time of dying’ got me and took me back to what I love about them. It’s not their best in my opinion but it’s enjoyable and definitely has a more mature sense of songwriting
Didn’t really stand out in any way.
Showed me the genesis of some of the songs I grew up listening to in Mom's mini van, specifically, Kashmir and Ten Years Gone. I wound up actaully really liking some of the track songs as well. I added "Bron-Yr-AUr" and "Boogie with Stu" to some playlists.
From Kashmir to Ten years gone were perfect. But goes pretty wobbly towards the end. I probably have to go back and listen a few times but I didn’t sign up to this to do that. 6/10 much better than that Rush album
Strange - I'm pretty familiar with albums 1 - 4 , but for some reason have never listened to this one. It's pretty good, but not sure it contains the hits the other ones do.
I’m sorry. I just can’t find it in my heart to give Zep any of the shit they often receive from the haters. I love their albums, and I love what they did with their “borrowed” material. I guess I just let the music be my master. The band has so much raw sexual energy that as a man I just can’t resist them. The opening of “Kashmir” gets me every time, like something big is coming and I better get ready!
Why is there no low-end on this record? Even on the remastered lossless release... Regardless, the music is not Zepp's most inventive, but it rocks just as hard, if not harder, than the rest.
Wasn't in the mood
Un po' sottotono devo dire.
Not that big of a fan of the old hard rock but can see it’s influence on lots of music like white stripes
Not my favorite Led Zeppelin album but still has that amazing and classic Led Zeppelin sound
Tampled Under Foot tem levada em 2:02. Levada de baixo boa. Khshmir é muito boa e tem riff famoso. Ten Years Gone é boa.
I've tried to get into Led Zeppelin but I'm just not into the whole blues/hard rock thing they got going on. I will admit that there was some awesome tracks on here but the rest just don't sound as impressive. I'll be one of the few to admit this didn't need to be so long.
I don't know, man. I love Led Zeppelin in general, and I'm a sucker for raspy vocals and crunchy guitar but this album just didn't do much for me. I honestly found the whole thing pleasant enough to listen to but very forgettable compared to their others on this list. Fave track: Custard Pie. Even a meh Zeppelin album is guaranteed to have a few killer guitar licks and this is one of them.
One of the great all time groups. Great background rock
3.5 really. Still never as good as the first couple of tracks.
Da e jo bra, men alt for langt
Slefaði næstum í fjóra en vantaði herslumuninn
A few bangers and a few misses. Fair to middling
Led Zeppelin are always going to be one of those bands that no matter how hard I try I just don't get into. I can appreciate why people love them but not for me
As a heathen to the Church of Zeppelin, the missionary work of this project has deepened my appreciation and understanding of this religion. I really enjoyed their original album, for example. This one was a little harder for me. The first three songs (over 20 minutes) really never grabbed me, and I was worried I wouldn't like it at all. Once we got to "side two," things got going better for me and it was my favorite of the four original LP sides. "Kashmir" was the one classic I knew and have always appreciated. I enjoyed the variety of styles once it got going. I really needed to spend more time with it to deepen my appreciation, but I just didn't have time to get there today.
This sort of reinforces my point of the double album...(a few exceptions) but usually an amazing album and in this case I think 3 sides back in the day, but oddly, for me, the first album, first side is a slog, and then it gets better and better before winding down a bit again.
Led Zeppelin is fine. Not sure I had to listen to this before I die. No denying it’s fantastic rock/blues with brilliant guitar, drums, and Plant vocals at their best. Just not my favorite music. So 3 to me, probably a 5 to those who are fans.
Seems to be a very influential record, but I think it’s a bit too long, and some of the songs are also too long.
A decent album. It's my second Led Zeppelin album, and this one was much louder and rocky. I think I preferred Led III tbh. Kasmir is a powerhouse of a song, and probably the reason this album is on the list. It went downhill from there, though I don’t know if the second half was crap or if I was just too fed up after an hour to give it a chance🙃.
There was no human reason for this to be this long. It was fine!
It's good, it's just also very long and doesn't feel like it needs to be as long as it is. Kashmir is amazing, and there are a couple of other highlights but most of it just passes by - solid background listening but not much more, which is a bit of a shame
This a solid background album that would be wonderful to have on a turntable while you go about washing dishes or baking. There are a couple of recognizable, stop-and-listen songs (Kashmir and House of the Holy) but many that fade into a general mood. Just when you’d forget the album was on because guitar solos went too long, you’d find it switches up to Boogie with Stu and Black Country Girl. The vibe changes enough to refresh but not enough to fully make you sit and figure out the actual lyrics. It was more than I expected but perhaps less than I’d usually attribute to a legendary band.
I drove for two hours and listened while driving which was good for time, but bad because hearing Led Zeppelin while driving is so ubiquitous I kept habituating to it. Spotify was showing the words and though I only glanced occasionally, it was the first time I ever knew any of the words to their songs, and they surprisingly more creative and poetic than I expected. Page's ability to riff is unmatched but I found his solos surprisingly unimpressive. I never realized how often the motion and drive of the songs comes from how John Paul Jones played bass. Bonham's drums were good and a nicer and more creative and varied change from the Beatles, but almost always seemed at the same dyanamic level and felt overplayed. Overall, totally agree with what Thomas said. Good background album with some variation. That said, I've owned it since my teens and rarely listened to the whole album all the way through. It's not quite varied enough for me.
This is by no means a bad album but it is in my opinion the weakest of Zeppelin's albums featured on this list. "In My Time of Dying" and "The Wanton Song" are very solid songs. "Kashmir" is of course an all time classic. Shining moments but very flat in others.
I'd maybe only heard this once before, it never grabbed me like their others. Some great tracks but too much filler. I don't know why you'd choose to listen to this over LZ 1 to 4
Not my kinda thing
Good but some songs overlong
Some epic songs, but a lot of them are way too long and it really begins to drag
Kinda all over the place. I enjoyed some of it, some of it was boring. The whole thing is too long.
OK. Kashmir is a jam, obvs, but I think it's the drumming that stands out most on this album. Surprised to discover a direct line between this and Jeff Buckley's Grace
Decent album. First two-thirds was quite good and then it felt like it fell off a little bit. It has a good pace and mixes up the sound of the songs which I enjoyed. 6/10
Lots of different styles and influences done well. Some great tracks but seems a lot of them drag on a bit... Songs feel long for the sake of it. Can't help but think this could have made 2 really solid albums as opposed to one very long one. Great musicianship, and a good listen, but maybe a bit self indulgent?
Easy to understand the appeal as the musicality is on point and there are a few great songs that piqued my interest (the Rover being my favourite) but it doesn't really form a full cohesive experience for me.
It was alright not my style but surprisingly ok
Not One of My LZ preferred albums
Not bad, pretty good tunes
Decent music but much too long and drawn out. Album and songs were so long
63 Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin 15 tracks. The biggest selling musical artists of all time? I just don't get it. It's ok. It's better than ok. It's good, but best selling music artists in the World ever? I've got to find out what I'm missing. More Led Zep required 3/5
I would have loved this (and probs did) in my younger years. It's still good just not really my thing anymore. Still some great tunes
Good album.
I know a lot of people really love this album, but I'm not one of them. I much prefer the first 5 Zeppelin albums. That said, this is still a enjoyable album it's just a bit bloated. I could honestly do without anything after In The Light with the exception of The Wanton Song. I think a few songs could've been trimmed a bit too like the forementioned In The Light which is really good...3 minutes in. There are some true bangers here though. Custard Pie, House's of The Holy, and Kashmir at top rate Zeppelin. If this album had some of the fat trimmed it would be as great as the first 5. So for me this one is a 6/10. You could definitely spend your time listening to worse faire.
Feels like Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street. You’re listening and it gradually gets better and pulls you in. Before you know it, it’s over and you realized you actually enjoyed it.
Other than Kashmir its just alright. Sounds like every rock n roll band you've ever heard opening for a more interesting band. Always felt after Led Zeppelin I to IV this was a bit of an after thought using discarded tunes from those records. Kashmir is a masterpiece though so that elevates it to a 3. 3/5
one of their best with a couple classics
The last of their great ones?
Not my favourite Zeppelin but still bangs.
honestly mediocre, but can see why it has classic status
Standard Led Zepplin rock. One song pretty much blended into the next.
The double album is practically a collection of extended Stairway to Heaven tracks. (6/10) Favourite Tracks: Kashmir, Boogie with Stu
Samey. Probably needs a proper listen on a record player for full effect
Led Zeppelin at their creative zenith, but this isn't an entry level album, one for the connoisseurs
Slightly expected more, in the end not bad but the album is very long and hardly any songs were memorable enough to remember them after the listening
This is pretty raw and nasty. It's taken me a couple of listens to get into it. I'm not familiar with the history of the albums, but this one feels early.
physical pain listening to this, not their best lmaoo
This is one I’d put on from time to time.
OS rokkirämpytystä, iha jees
I wouldn’t call myself a Zeppelin fan, really. But comparing this to a lot of the mediocre stuff they inspired like the T-Rex album earlier, this is refreshing. Prefer their earlier stuff to this, but this is a good album. Favourite track: “Kashmir”
Kashmir
Some of the songs are iconic but I did find them a bit repetitive.
This obviously is on here because of Kashmir. I mean, it is very good. The rest of the album kind of blurs together for me.
Позвольте представить... самая переоценённая роцк-группа в истории! Не, я правда хочу её полюбить, ибо сам не люблю спорить с критиками лишний раз. Но вот не выходит, когда очередной раз пытаюсь ознакомиться глубже – натыкаюсь на сгусток унылого дженерик блюз-рока с парой неплохих тем и с парой бесящих. Альбом я изначально прослушал уже давно, лет 7 назад, после того, как в документалках про митол его митолизды называли лучшим роцк-альбомом всех времён. И на самом деле после первых трёх разочаровывающих альбомов этот неплохим показался, ближе к четвёртому. Но переслушивать не захотелось. Вот ща на свежую прокаченную голову заценим. Думаю, один из главных факторов неприятия – вокальные партии Планта. Про кого я там уже писал, что будто кто-то без подготовки прослушал минусовку, просто подошёл к микрофону и начал вбрасывать фразы? Вот тут так же. Какой-то фристайл, а не внятные вокальные партии. Опять же, лишь партии, сам голос то мне нравится. На всякий случай проверю свою догадку и гляну в тексты. Вот, In My Time of Dying, например. Ну да, там порой даже рифмы нет, и постоянно подряд одни и те же фразы повторяются (что ебаный моветон). Да и трек непонятно зачем перетянут до 11 минут, базовый риф хоть и вполне мил, но слишком прост, чтобы длиннотрек строить. Houses of the Holy… так, где-то я уже слышал это название. Это ли не альбом так звался ихний? Да, так и есть. Предыдущий. Ну, третий яркий пример к Waiting for the Sun и Sheer Heart Attack. Не одобряем. Сам трек – скучный дженерик. Trampled Under Foot звучит как то, что у LZ становится хитами. Ну да, «песня стала неотъемлемой частью концертов группы». Сам трек также скучный, постоянный унылый повтор одного и того же мотива, рандомные вбросы и повторы фраз Плантом. Можно сказать дженерик Лэд Зеппелин для меня. Kashmir вроде тоже хит дохуя. По структуре мне напоминает Immigrant Song. Интригующее драматическое начало, которое стремительно перерастает… а ни во что не перерастает, зацикливается фрагментом, и под это Плант снова фристайлит (Ладно, припев похож на что-то внятное). Ещё почему-то складывается ощущение, что треки состоят из нескольких семплов, которые лупятся и сводятся в трек. Только вот исходные сэмплы сами же LZ и писали. Но блять, не строят так композиции нормальные исполнители. Эти фрагменты слишком коротки, чтобы их лупить на целый трек, а тут вовсе овер 8 минут, вы там охуели чтоль! Bron-Yr-Aur неплоха, но это не особо полноценный трек. Down by the Seaside, Ten Years Gone тоже работают в принципе. У The Wanton Song классные партии вне основной темы (она – снова надоедливый залупленный фрагмент). Основное не бесит вроде, но и интереса не представляет. Кроме одного трека. The Rover действительно охуенный трек. Балдёжная прогрессирующая гитарная партия, внятные партии Планта, мелодичный и сильный припев. Всё на месте, всё работает. Ну почему вот нельзя было хотя бы попытаться всё так сделать? Ну могут же когда захотят. Хули тогда они вместо этого лупят фрагменты и фристайлят в мик? И, главное, какого хуя этот луп и бубнёж фанаты то боготворят? The Rover даже синглом не был, и в саундтреках не встречал. В отличии от Kashmir, которая, хоть меня и бесит, но стала отличным остом к Матрице.
блять почему мне кажется что Кашмир играл в матрице, но я не могу найти ни одного упоминания
This album is less meandering than the other LZ album we've had. It's still completely unexciting to me though. It's not "bad" and there are some good parts. But not enough to hold my attention. The album was also way too long, considering the lack of variety within and between songs.
Razoável, nada demais. Música antiga 90/93
Better than kraftwerk
Great vibes
.
There's some strong songs on here, but also a decent amount of filler. 80 minutes is far too long for a zeppelin album
Few bangers, more dull. Kashmir has been stuck in my head for 2 days as it is an amazing song. Definitely not the best Zeppers
I’m loathe to say I don’t really care (I’m sorry)
"And the flat world's flying, and there's a new plague on the land" (The Rover) Me da un poco de pena lo mucho que me aburre escuchar Led Zeppelin más de cinco minutos seguidos. La portada de este disco es súper bonita tho.
There was a few great tracks on but that doesn't make for a great album. The rest was pretty forgettable IMHO.
When I first came to Canada in 1973 Led Zep was all the rage with the stoner crowd at school and I never really understood the attraction and I never was too enthusiastic their sound. So almost 50 yrs later I'm forced to listen to this album and I can confirm that I still don't know what the big deal is. Kashmir is good, but apart from that it doesn't really turn my crank
Fun. But less fun than the others
pretty varied album. kashmir is great
Super strong front half, essentially a greatest hits albums... an interesting tempo transition and the backside is probably a bit more experimental and has several zeppelin cover-band sounding songs.
It’s good classic rock. Obviously Kashmir is legendary. It’s quite a long album definitely good for passing time. This is the first album I’ve reviewed of an artist I know.
Great album, mostly top tier Zeppelin songs, weird complaint but it's a bit long, could have been condensed
Discos como este me recuerdan que los 70's no se trataron sólo de rock ácido, hippies y disco; también había grupos haciendo "badass rock". Algo interesante de este disco es que tiene un aire experimiental: en alguna canción se alcanza a escuchar a los integrantes discutiendo al final de la canción, y tiene varias canciones que no parecen de Led Zeppelin, pero sí van acordes a la época. Dicho esto, el álbum me pareció un poco aburrido y fuera de "Kashmir" las canciones se me hicieron "buenas", pero nada más. Sí volvería a poner el disco como música de fondo.
Favorites: Kashmir
I am beginning to feel like I just don't like music- this had a few amazing moments, but it was mostly plodding and interminable.
First time listening to Led Zeppelin and I excpected more 6.7/10
1975: Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir
Paranoid
Alright. Just not really my thing
A bit more overblown than I remember. There’s no such thing as a perfect double album.
Trampled Under Foot is funky as hell!
No particularly compelling substance here, feels meandering and dull.
Got boring quick. I could listen to one song and have heard the whole thing
Faaaar too long, double albums just should not be a thing, by anyone. This is just isn't my kinda music, I enjoy some of the riffs and whatever, but the vocals leave me cold and I have no interest in guitar solos, sorry.
not my style
It’s a popular classic but honestly only 3 or 4 of the songs stand out to me
You know what this album sounds like? 90 minutes of Led Zeppelin outtakes and B-sides. Oh, that's what this is? That explains it. 2/5
Not a fan
Snore. A very mid album with maybe a couple of decent songs, Kashmir riff is huge. The rhythm section of this band I really enjoy. 2/5 Beat Song: Kashmir
Its far too long, and his voice is far too annoying. Houses of the Holy and Kashmir are good, the entire second half of the album i can do with out though.
A: Skulle jag ha hört EN låt skulle den säkert ha varit helt okej MEN ETT HELT ALBUM?!?!??! Nån enstaka cool gitarrsak men annars blää. 1.5/5 D: Dom trodde dom skulle komma undan med att spela en sång på repeat i nästan 2h. Exakt kopia av varenda ena låt i denna genre som någonsin producerats, eller tvärtom. Genren i fråga är "låtar som låter som detta album". Inte precis min favorit genre. Oasis om någon skulle ha lärt dem att spotta ut sina ord och hålla korta pauser. 2/5
not my taste particularly.
Less than a week ago I listened to Led Zeppelin's debut and now I had to put up with the same thing more than 80 minutes. What i said less than a week ago still applies to "Physical Graffiti": "I really can't stand Robert Plant's voice or lyrics. On a more positive note, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are flawless, and "Stairway to Heaven", one of the worst songs in human history, is not on this album. I guess the highs are higher than on the debut album but lows are also lower.
(2/7) music for a long and arduous run
liked only one
utterly frustrating listen. the first half is fantastic, bordering on a 5 if it stopped there. but then it just keeps on going. even on that excellent first half the mixing is just dreadful, its not "tastefully" lo-fi or invigorating abrasive, just kind of muddy and poor. i really like led zeppelin and i did not think this was going to be so hard to get through.
I recognized Kashmir 2
Three Zepplin albums in so far, and I like this one the least. It's kinda boring compared to Zepplin II and III, and nothing remarkable.
the feeling of paranoia in sound
Not everyone will get this reference, but listening to this Zeppelin album after everything that has happened in rock music since then is kind of like playing dark souls one or demon souls after elden ring. You start noticing the quality of life improvements when you are faced with their absence. This album by today's standards, unfortunately, is boring. The songs have absolutely no business being 6-7-8 minutes long. I found myself checking how much was left of them around the 2.5 min mark. They consist mostly of a single (or max 2) riff repeated over and over again like a neverending jam session. When I got too bored of them, I just skipped to the next one. I thought it was a time thing. However, upon putting this 1975 record into context, I realized it is not just that. By that time, the Beatles had happened. Two great Pink Floyd records had happened. So many bands had demonstrated that it is possible to organise ideas into compact, hard-hitting songs. Led Zeppelin failed there, and made an album that overstays its welcome. 2.5.
im not even listening this one lol
😴
zeppelin is a hit or a miss for me and this whole album was a miss. it dragged and dragged and it was hard to get through
Crikey that was long…
Me deja ice frío hielo
Not my music
Stupid, long, boring, over-indulgent. Everything that is wrong with 70s rock music summed up in one album. There's a decent single album in here somewhere.
A bloated rock band gets more bloated. A bad combination. 2/5
rock album from the 70's
never make me listen to a man randomly moaning again
Pas du tout réceptive cette fois ci…
Nē nu klasika, bet nav mans.
meh.
mira que confiaba mucho por ser de led zeppelin, pero es que ninguna cancion me ha llamado. todas muy repetitivas y encima largas. no se. no me ha molado
No es muy de mi estilo
A 68 minute, 2 Disc album is always going to feel long. But this album felt like it went on for 4 hours. The different songs were distinct enough, but the songs themselves were extremely repetitive. I also disliked the singing. I may have given this album a 3 if not for the absurd length, but I was so bored throughout the album.
Samplebait
Nicht mein Geschmack Stimme ist viel lauter als das Instrumentale
This shit rocks
Love the message hate the rock and beats
Not really my thing but I get it for the era
I’ve smoked a lot of weed, read a lot of fantasy novels, and spent years working in record stores and I still don’t get zeppelin.
I like the opening of In the Light
Not my vibe, found it kinda boring. 5.7/10.
Kashmiri was good
I think we will have a few Led Zep albums to get through too and it may be a case of whether they score 1 or 2 for me…. This is probably a 2. Some quite good intros and outros. Kashmir ruined by reality TV
Maybe my opinion is being influenced by listening to Led Zeppelin II not too long ago, but I'm not a fan of Physical Graffiti. The forays into other genres don't work for me, and I don't think the band's skills were really attuned to them. Many of the songs are laborious and longer than they need to be, and having this be a double album just exacerbates the issue. Even the more straightforward rockers don't rock very hard. It all comes across as messy and self-indulgent. Yes, "Kashmir" is here, but I've always found it to be one of their most leaden hits. This might be a hot take, but I think Zep were at their best as hard blues rockers and weren't nearly as satisfying outside of that.
not my thing
This should have been an LP instead of a double album. Check that. This should have been an EP. Upon further reflection, I could have lived with just 'Kashmir'. Actually, just leave the iconic orchestral riff at the door and get out.
Some of this was fine. It was far too long. If they cut the second half i would have considered a higher score.
Honestly, as a big fan of Led Zeppelin, I think this album is not their best work. It's totally skippable in the grand scheme of things. Kashmir is a good song, but the rest of the album is quite forgettable.
