If they had trimmed it down they would’ve had a 5⭐️ album.
Quite boring
После божественного во всех смыслах концерта Ника Кейва я повстречал даму, которая, оказывается, большая любительница Лед Цеппелин. И она сказала, что последнее время ее любимый альбом группы - это Presence. Но в целом, IV тоже супэр. И вот я здесь, чувствую нужду любить музыку группы Лед Цеппелин, потому что заработаю поинты "охуенности" как минимум в своей голове, ведь дама естественно совершенно не догадывается о моем внезапном интересе, возникшем только на основе того, что ее любимый артист прямо сейчас - не Сабрина Карпентер. Лучшая песня - Kashmir.
I wish someone had introduced Led Zeppelin to the concept of editing. Not every song needs to be 8 minutes long, and 45 minutes is a perfectly acceptable length for an album. Sometimes less is more. This felt like a great album stretched to the length of two. Like butter spread over too much bread. Give me less bread, Robert!
Oooft a bit long and just not as good as I’d like it to be. Kashmir is a tune, but LZ have others that I prefer. Simpsons: Yes
Couple of decent songs and a lot of alright songs that went on for far too long.
I find all of the LONG songs a little much for me now lol
Maybe I’m just getting used to Led Zeppelin after they keep cropping up on this list but I thought this was the best of theirs yet. The most I’ve bopped my head along to them anyway! But by god it’s a long one 😮💨
The second half is much better than the first
With led zeppelin, the riffs are great but hearing them for 10 minutes long feels rapidly repetitive. The album is not bad but is exhausting after a while
There are brilliant moments on here but man, it's just too flipping long. Daunting.
Alright
Hmm, I mean it wasn’t bad but it just wasn’t very interesting
3/5 , didn't listen that intensely, maybe 4/5 if I did
Definitely not one of my favorites by them.
This was a slog. The first of the double album is pretty classic Zeppelin, not the band at its height - but pretty darn good. Once you get to the second album it feels like casts off. A lot of forgettable songs. I guess it probably marks the beginning of the end of the band.
Some good, some not very good....not their best.
1. disc is besser
I don't love Led Zeppelin's folk-y acoustic material as much as their heavy metal/hard rock stuff. Their albums are normally a mixture, so I find them somewhat inconsistent. I find that they venture slightly into 'overly long wank fest' at times and 'In My Time of Dying' is guilty of that. It sounds like they were just jamming in the studio, someone pushed record, and it ended up on the album. Some solid stuff on this album though. 'Ten Years Gone' is great and Robert Plant's vocals absolutely shine on 'Night Flight'. 'Kashmir' is a classic but not the best on the album. That belongs to 'The Rover'. It has a fantastic riff that drives the song forward with such a swagger and attitude. It's a 5 star 45 minute album if you trim the fat a bit. Don't want to give in to the Led Zeppelin tax and there are better Led Zep albums than this so it's getting a 3. A very high 3 mind you.
It was okay. Not their normal stuff. Seemed a little more experimental.
Alright
It’s good but it’s not great.
I like Led Zeppelin but this is one of the albums I've never connected with. Apart from Kashmir is standard fare.................
Very good in places. A few bangers and some good bluesy sounds. But also a bit too long, and not as good as peak Led Zeppelin.
I’ll keep no secrets here; I have never been a big Led Zeppelin fan. I like a chunk of their work, and appreciate the sheer talent involved. But overall, they have always been somewhat overrated in my book. I honestly couldn’t tell you sometimes what songs belong on what album. And on top of that, my view on double albums still stands even with ‘Physical Graffiti’; double albums can be a double edged sword. They’re either absolute masterpieces or they’re musically stretched too thin. For me, ‘Physical Grafitti’ completely falls into the latter. I do find some tracks to be fine work: ‘Houses Of The Holy’, ‘Kashmir’, ‘In The Light’, and ‘Down By The Seaside’ are actually phenomenal and really highlight the band at their strength. Plant’s vocals are arguably at their best, there is fantastic hard hitting riffs, and great guitar solos throughout. I just can’t help but feel had they not frankensteined a long record from previous rejects not only would this be a better listen, their later output could also have been marginally improved. It sounds as if I don’t like ‘Physical Graffiti’ all that much, I know. I actually do like it. It just runs into the same problems a lot of double albums do; it runs out of steam and the variety in musicality needed to keep a massive project like this interesting just isn’t there. So I give this a 3. It can be appreciated by pretty much everyone, and I know a lot of people hold it in HIGH regard, but most of it just doesn’t click with me overall; and I find a lot of their earlier work far superior.
This album comes on day one of a very intense week, and to be honest, I was disappointed by it. Maybe I just didn't need Page and Plant's wailing and squawking, but it felt like it was much more self-indulgent and unfocused that the earlier numbered albums, which have all been top drawer so far.
Cool cool
Meh
Zo, geef hier maar even een cijfer aan. Ik heb er even over gedaan. Het is op alle fronten meer ingehouden dan ander werk dat we van deze lui kregen. Minder uitbundig gecomponeerd, minder vol geluid etc. Het zijn eigenlijk normale nummers. En ergens vind ik dat wel fijn. Je blijft de kwaliteit ervaren. Het laat zien dat de basis bij deze band gewoon op orde was. Maar tegelijk duren de losse nummers nog steeds heel lang. Zelfs een nummer als Kashmir dat de uitsmijter zou moeten zijn heb ik halverwege al wel gehoord. En daardoor duurt het album als geheel mij ook te lang. Twee volle Led Zeppelin nummers tussendoor had mij wel beter door het album geholpen. Mis het blijkbaar toch. Na een week heb ik het nogmaals opgezet. De proef op de som. Vind ik het fijn om een tweede keer te luisteren? Het album gaat toch vrij snel af. Daarmee wordt het een 3.
Ik heb Led Zeppelin al 3x een 5 gegeven, maar dat gaat deze keer niet gebeuren. Ik ga dit album afstraffen omdat het aan een aantal basisregels niet voldoet. Het is namelijk volstrekt overbodig in de snoblijst, want er staan al genoeg Led Zeppelin albums in. Het mist vervolgens ook een hit. Ik tel Kashmir niet mee, want dat werd pas echt bekend toen Puff Daddy het gebruikte voor de Godzilla soundtrack. Ik kan dit album heel prima opzetten hoor, maar in de snoblijst horen albums die je gehoord moet hebben, voordat etc. En daar hoort dit album simpelweg niet bij. Een vergeetbare 3 zal het oordeel zijn.
Love Led, and I ran this one around twice, but nothing on it really grabbed me or stuck. Just good listening.
A solid Zep album, even though it's a bit bloated.
Far from being Zeppelin's best album. Always thought this was a bit of a step down from everything else that came before. The first LP is fantastic, but I find a lot of the material on the second LP, especially Side D, not to be their best.
Tycker det är ganska mycket filler på det här albumet, inte så bra som alla påstår enligt mig åtminstone
I am not a particularly big fan of Led Zeppelin, and even though this has my favourite Zeppelin song, Kashmir, it is both uneven, too long and too often descend to pointless riffage and guttural screams
3.5
I know I should like Led Zeppelin but I just don't like most of it. I've tried so many times. Their music bores me. I don't know if they're doing stuff I don't understand, or if it's just a vibe that I don't vibe with, or what, but it doesn't work for me. Every song feels like they figured out a guitar riff and just do it over and over again for 4-10 minutes. When the riff is good (Kashmir) it's good, but when it isn't (most other songs) it's incredibly boring. Giving 3 stars tho bc some songs on here fuck. Obviously Kashmir, and Trampled Under Foot, and a couple others. But they aren't my rock gods.
This album ROCKS - I’m sure - but just found it a little boring and even annoying at times. Some great songs on here but not enough to carry the album.
Delete the obvious filler and it would be a solid 55-minute CD, if that technology had existed at the time. Docked one star for the band claiming writing credit for "In My Time of Dying."
Defo not one of their best. Album was left over bits from previous ones. 3/5
Another fine album.
This was a very strange album for me to rate. The first few songs were such generic hard rock (or just so incredibly dull in general) that I was sure I'd give the album a maximum of only 2 stars. The album only started to pick up with "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir". By the time I got to the best part of the album (that being "Down by the Seaside" through "Boogie With Stu"), I definitely understood why people tend to consider this one of the best albums by Led Zeppelin. If it weren't for the dreadful beginning, which almost stopped me from doing this whole 1001 album challenge, I would've given Physical Graffiti at least 4 stars.
good, but the vocal style is not for me ):
Not familiar with most of these
Meh. Not a big fan of Zep. Decent album w/some cool experimental sounds. Can appreciate
siin on juba poisid hakanud natukene liiga palju peeru nuusutama - liiga pikk ja venib, varasemad albumid palju tugevamad
Everyone knows at least a few of these tracks. I'm not a huge fan. But this is better than their first record and had some cool stuff in there
This one was quite the journey. If you're going to make an album an hour and a half long, it better be damn well worth it. I can say this wasn't. That being said, I liked most of the songs. Led Zeppelin was producing hit after hit album during this time and I truly think I would have added this to that list had they shaved some of the songs out. Really great hard rock, but I can't justify the length.
This is a 2.5. There is not nearly enough interesting material here to justify a double album. Kashmir is cool, though!
Not the best album.
Ei parasta musiikkia pyöräilyyn. Paikoitellen turhankin poukkoilevaa, mutta kuunteli kyllä ilman kipuja. Kovia heppuja
Fine. Not particularly exciting. A little pompous and overblown, but nice enough.
Some of it is really great, but there's also quite a lot of filler. That goes for the album as a whole, but also within songs. Favorite song: Kashmir (by far)
Despite not being a fan of (most of) their self-titled quadrilogy, I still mess with Led Zeppelin's sound generally. But I think I'm more attracted to the idea of listening to LZ than I am to actually listening to them. In theory, their music should be everything I like - but a mixture of various mildly unappealing aspects (Plant's vocals, slower buzz-kill passages) end up bogging down my experiences. This album's no different - while I messed with the first side - especially the fantastic, relentless, and pummelling 'In My Time of Dying', the softer switch in the second half didn't do much for me. I mean I like the eerie synths opening 'In the Light', the quaint acoustic track 'Bron-Yr-Aur', and the punchy organ-tinted interludes of 'The Wanton Song' - but I'd be lying if I said I found any other song here to be all that special, not even the blues and rock n' roll throwback 'Boogie with Stu'. The highlight of the album is the highly dramatic and Middle Eastern-inspired 'Kashmir', a truly mesmerizing track. As expected, Jimmy's riffs are there and there's a lot of talent put on display, but this is another LZ album that just doesn't scratch the itch I was hoping it would.
nothing extraordinary imo but was easy listening background music for me!
Found this a little hard to care too much about at the beginning but it’s pretty good. I generally think the back half is a lot stronger and that’s where it won me over. I liked In The Light and Bron-Yr-Aur and Down by the Seaside back-to-back.
Have always been a Zeppelin skeptic, this is the album I remember the most from childhood and I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this... generally speaking i am not a huge blues rock guy and this verges on the edge of being blues rock but generally stays in the Hard Rock genre, which is totally much more my speed. Thought the rifts and vocals were solid and enjoyed a lot of what i heard, excited to listen to more zeppelin as we do this challenge!
Ikke lige så godt som deres første, men stadig en fed lyd.
Side one is good. Side two is excellent. Side three is pretty good. Side four I could mostly leave behind. Unmistakably Zeppeliny. Great individual musicians and better as a unit. Some hard rock, some blues, some flirtations with psychedelia, some traditional, some loud, some quiet, some come in hot, some slow burns. This has a handful of great songs and a handful that are decent but not impactful. Cut it to an hour and you got a stew goin.
good rock album
da sind schon ein paar Klassiker drauf vertreten
I think the hype behind Led Zeppelin has always exceeded my enjoyment of them. This album was bloated so it was a bit of a drag to get through it but there are a couple of classics here.
Some bangers, kinda boring, tooooo long, basic Led Zeppelin template.
It works as background music, and I like the style. However, some songs are too long, and the melody is repetitive. I felt no highs, lows, or storylines throughout the album. Overall, it didn't excite me, but it didn't bother me either. Some parts I enjoyed.
Long
Some good songs and a lot of filler
Love Zeppelin 1-4 I checked out for a reason after.
Great first half, mediocre second half.
Rock, 1975 -> 3
I still don't really get the hype around Led Zeppelin. This is a solid Hard Rock album with notable highlights, but it also gets boring, especially in the second half, and feels bloated overall. A major plus point is the diversity that the album offers, which counters the boredom that sets in after a few "filler" tracks. Still, I miss that certain something that defines Led Zeppelin. Something tangible that elevates them and this album above upper mid-range. 3.5/5
Me gustó. Igual me costó. No es un álbum que sea para escuchar en la oficina. Si para ponerlo en casa mientras limpio o en el auto mientras viajo. Full audio. In my time of dying - Orgásmo final Kashmir - TEMAZO. Un clásico.
I bit disappointed. Seems a bit bloated and not a whole lot of fun. A middle zeppelin album.
Fine, but 30 minutes too long. I liked Houses of the Holy. The riff in Kashmir sounded really familiar but I can’t place it.
3/5
Of course I already have listened to Physical Graffiti. Negative point is of course that this is a double album and takes quite long (over 80 minutes). Led Zeppelin is not and will never be my favorite classic rock act, but I can see that they're important for music history. I personally do believe thay have better albums though. Kashmir slaps.
OMG I just LOVE Greta Van Fleet! I saw them live once, Josh is SO CUTE, he was handing out white roses in the crowd <3 <3 What a long ass album though!
They did and overdid their thing on this one. Remember: all good things in moderation!
this one is just ight. kashmir thooo
It was nice, some songs had their charm, but it felt somehow repetetive
Took me a long time to appreciate Zeppelin. That’s all I’m going to say…
Les Zepps. Solid album I feel like I need to give it another go. Something about them always loses me
Solid, very classic rock
I don’t enjoy robert plants voice, especially when he gets to cat in heat yowling levels. Felt vocals and kind of lame lyrics get in the way at times. Some songs are a bit long and repetitive. But the highs are high Kashmir is great.
I wasn't super wowed tbh. Way too long. Eh
meh. lots of samey, dusty, dry bluesy rock by old white guys for other old white guys. only two songs stood out to me, and those were the two I had heard before: trampled under foot and kashmir. i definitely don't get the appeal of zeppelin, they're fine but boring overall. and a nearly 1.5-hour double album was certainly not going to influence my perception of them. this is like a 2.5 star album for me. favorites: trampled under foot, kashmir
Some AMAZING tracks but also some just very meh tracks
High quality, but just didn't get me going
Finding this one really hard to rate. While they’re clearly experimenting with new sounds which is interesting , it’s basically Led Zep, but not as good as their earlier albums. There’s not really one track that really stands out for me ( I don’t get why Kashmir is so popular) and some of them drag a bit. Guess I just prefer the balls-out rock of their earlier stuff more. All in all I don’t think I’d ever really repeat listen, which would seem to indicate a 3 score. However, their benchmark is so ridiculously high, if this was some other band would I look at things differently? Gah, what do you do?
Wasn't expecting too much, normally a bit too cock rock for my taste. However, this chuggs along nicely without ever going full cock, so enjoyed it.
Favourites: custard pie, houses of the holy, trampled under foot, bron-yr-aur, boogie with Stu. I guess it's okat. Run time was too long sorry Mr. Zeppelin but I did not have the patience for this today. Music wasn't bad but it's not really my taste. 3/5
Oh amazing another long ass album by an English rock band. I don't know why I just can't get into any of these "legendary" bands. Anyways it was okay as usual, I liked The Rover, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, and Ten Years Gone. No other real comments from me, 3
This sounds like an English rock band doing their best impersonation of an American rock band, with a little country blues and twang interspersed. This is a fun, rocking record throughout. Really enjoyed this one, but it’s not one I see myself listening to regularly.
Good album! A couple of great songs and some that are mid.
Truly awful
I was a big fan of Led Zep through their first four albums which I believe are on this list but not yet given to me. The album after the first 4 and preceding this one, Houses Of The Holy, was to me a big change in direction and did not like. As a result of that I did not take too much notice of this one and those after it which is a pity because as the years have gone by I have grown to appreciate them. Not as much as the first four but these later albums have revealed themselves to have some great songs on. Kashmir on this album has become (after Stairway and Whole Lotta) one of Led Zep’s most recognisable and distinctive songs. It’s a while since I played this album in full but glad I was reminded to by the inclusion of it in this list and serves as a prompt to listen to their full discography in the near future. 3/5 7/5/24
Zeppelin... eh
Except for Kashmir, I’ll just listen to Les Zeppelin IV if I get the urge to toss an a Led Zeppelin album. So I liked this, but probably won’t revisit.
A pretty solid rock'n'roll album by a legendary band that, in truth, I only partially followed. Certainly one classic song, "Kashmir", and a number of other good songs like "In the Time of my Dying" and "Houses of the Holy" but overall it felt long. The collective talent of the band members should be noted, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham.
Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but a solid listen nonetheless.
could i write poetry to this? y
Kashmir is the best song on the album, but overall disc 2 is stronger than disc 1
The previous album was a huge success, but for this one the band got carried away in the studio and produced too much material for a single album so they padded it out with unused songs from previous albums to make it a double. This means that there are a lot of self indulgent tracks on here that all go on a little bit too long or don’t fit, like the funky Stevie Wonder inspired Trampled Under Foot. Kashmir is still a monster track though!
All a bit pompous and silly but kind of fun at the same time.
Decent album. Like the more expansive and psychedelic aspects of this. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again
First things first, this album is too long. It's runs for almost 83 minutes, and feels even longer. Check out the length of these songs: "In My Time of Dying" - 11:09 "In The Light" - 8:48 "Kashmir" - 8:38 "Ten Years Gone" - 6:35 Fucking hell. "Kashmir" is a legitimate banger that just seems to bang on forever. The others could be fantastic 3- or 4-minute tracks if their fat was trimmed off, especially "Ten Years Gone". While "Physical Graffiti" tests your patience, it also treats us to the irrefutable guitar majesty of Jimmy Page. Particularity in "Bron-Yr-Aur", where his brilliance is placed front & center. This instrumental is simply beautiful. I enjoyed the second half of this album much more after hearing it. "Bron-Yr-Aur" lifted my mood. "The Wanton Song" rocks, "Down By the Seaside" & "Black Country Woman" are effortlessly cool, and "Boogie With Stu" comes way out of left field; it sounds like Little Richard possessed Rod Stewart. It's fucking great. Led Zeppelin are undoubtedly a legendary band. Each member is a special talent and the sound they create is quintessential 70s Rock. These guys are great at their craft. I respect Led Zeppelin, I just don't always enjoy their music. Even though I happily listened to this entire album, I have no desire to give "Physical Graffiti" another bash. I felt the exact same way about every other Zeppelin record I've heard. I can't really explain why. The best I can offer is this: Plant, Page, Jones & Bonham are legendary Rock & Roll killers, who also give us too much unnecessary filler. It's too much of a good thing. ✌️❤️
ikke helt mig men fint nok - kan godt se hvorfor fædre kan lide det, virker meget som en 3/5 :)
Not a bad album. It's the source of the song Kashmir. I'm not sure if it's my favorite Led Zeppelin album, but it's pretty decent.
Ehh this is another album that took me multiple days to get through. If you're going to put out a double album, every song better be damn worth it, and I just didn't feel that was the case here. I like Led Zeppelin, and I've owned IV since high school. Nothing on this album is objectionably bad. Okay, that's not true. Black Country Woman is allegedly about Plant having an affair with his wife's sister — big yikes. And Sick Again is about trying to seduce an underage groupie. Vomit. Also, there's the whole stealing from other artists thing that the band is famous for. Awful lyrical content and shitty behavior aside, the album just starts to run together after a while and really overstays its welcome with its 1:22 runtime. There are some really good songs on here. Obviously, the famous ones like Kashmir, Houses of the Holy, Custard Pie, Trampled Under Foot. I also liked the instrumental Bron-Yr-Aur. The whole first half makes for a good to greatish album. But around Down by the Seaside I started to get bored. There were still good songs after that, but it started to get repetitive. I'll give this one a 3/5
Far from their best album.
I like Led Zeppelin as a band (not as people, what with their blatant musical thievery and statutory rape, but if that were a deal breaker I’d have to discount 75% of this list) but I think this album has the same problem that so many other double albums do, it is bloated and over filled with just okay music instead of being cut down to just the strongest material. If they cut three sides worth of music, then instead of filling side four with stuff not good enough for their earlier albums, they should have saved a side’s worth of tracks for their next album. There are a lot of great songs on this album, but also some real duds.
Nur ein paar der Lieder sind gut.
Kashmir // In the Light //
All time classic record. A younger me would have been delighted with this - these days I find the Led Zep blues rock a bit pedestrian, but can’t deny it’s a classic and an excellent album. Kashmir is an obvious classic, but I was half asleep by the time I got to the end of side 1.
Over rated
J'aurais voulu l'aimer plus. Pas tant de classiques, mais belle variété d'instruments et de son. Le premier disque s'écoute bien, mais c'est inégal le second.
Classic
I was surprised this one was on here, despite the wide-ranging influence of “Kashmir” on subsequent rock music. I played Zep’s catalog out for myself in high school and never had much desire to revisit it over the past 20+ years. That said, I enjoyed this more than I expected. “The Rover”, for instance, is an absolute banger. Definitely didn’t need to be 2 discs, though. Several tracks could have been way shorter or left out entirely. There’s only so much Robert Plant I can take in one installment. Disc one is way better than disc 2.
I was raised on 80s synth pop and 90s grunge which I think maybe makes it hard for me to really take this vocal style seriously. I can't help but think of Jack Black when I hear this style of singing. I really love the guitar tone though. Especially on In My Time of Dying. It has some really cool guitar effects and noises. Kashmir is a sick song.
One of the best rock bands of all time. Some of their music is legendary. Set the bar for rock bands that followed.
Decent on occasion
A solid classic rock addition. It may not have the same level of iconic tracks from some of Led Zeppelin's other albums but I enjoyed 'Houses of the Holy', 'Kashmir', 'In the Light', and 'Night Flight'. I honestly get tired of the same hard rock style even though these guys pioneered it in their own right. Also, Robert Plant's vocals personally get exhausting after a while.
Not my fav led zeppelin album, think the first disc was weaker than the second.
B Custard Pie 3 The Rover 3 In My Time Of Dying 3 Houses Of The Holy 3 Trampled Under Foot 4 Kashmir 5 In The Light 3 Bron-Yr-Aur 3 Down By The Seaside 3 Ten Years Gone 5 Night Flight 3 The Wanton Song 3 Boogie With Stu 3 Black Country Woman 3 Sick Again 3 I've listened to this album too much. I'm just kind of tired of Led Zeppelin at this point. Houses of the Holy (album) is better than this, but it doesn't have Kashmir so it doesn't earn a place here I guess.
Interesting notes. Very clearly Led Zepellin. Most likely won't listen again, but if it comes up, I could see myself enjoying it.
Led Zepplin. There are songs I love and some I can do without. This album offers one of my all-time favorites - Kasmir. Dig in.
Listened to this while playing ISS Vanguard. I won my mission. I just had another Led Zeppelin album two days ago! I greatly preferred the other one, III, over this one. While there were good moments throughout...there kinda felt like a lot of bloat between the gems. I definitely wouldn't come back to this one again...but I wouldn't be mad hearing several of these songs again. Also...this made me want to do coke at one point...and I don't do that ever. Ha ha. It was weird.
Not so much of this singing style but a few of these solid rock songs develop a Pop attitude which besides its raw bluesy power relaxes a very ambitious and slightly bloated over 80 min rec.
Just not my cuppa
mid tbh, and i normally like led zeppelin
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.
