Reviews (page 13 of 14)
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!
Per niente il mio genere, canzoni di durata infinita
2.5. The thing that pulled it from being a 3 was the really long songs. Those got annoying and weren’t good. The long songs of this era will never be my favorite.
Not their best work
For some reason whenever i listen to led zeppelin, their music makes my head hurt. I thechnicaly absolutaly love their music, but fucking hell i cannot do with the headache.
kashmir is 5 stars but rest was fine
Eh
I want to not get bored with Led Zeppelin. But I get bored with Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin, пожалуй, могут любить только фанаты Led Zepellin. Остальные не найдут для себя ничего в этой музыке. Даже центральная тема Kashmir и та приедается из-за своей длительности, и даже в ней не обошлось без "бэйбы".
Classic rock does absolutely nothing for me (hot take I know). There are parts of this I like but at an hour and a half I can’t stand it
Den her he aldri truffet. Plata e ikke dårlig, men bortsett fra Kashmir så he dem ingenting nytt å spennende her. Føler til tider ut som en B-sides and rareties fra album 1 og 2. Streng 2er
Did not particularly like the style of the album. Found it too chaotic to listen while working, could not finish the whole album. I find it more suited for a fast paced rythms and shorter listening periods.
Maybe I'm more of a casual Led Zeppelin listener and shouldn't listen beyond IV cause this felt like too much. Besides three or four a songs I didn't enjoy this album.
Nahral som si kedysi na cd výber od nich. Je tam 70 minút hudby, a viac nepotrebujem. Celé albumy ma nezaujali. A tento je ešte aj dlhý, neviem sa dočkať konca.
N.17 "Oh led zeppelin I'll probably like this album" I did not. "That's okay, a great band can have a bad album let's see what the reviews are" 3,89. (I really want to swear but I'm not sure I can) WHAT?! It wasn't that I felt bored, I just didn't care. The guitars felt repetitive and it just sounded like 70s Rock music. To be honest kashmir was enjoyable. I took a break after in the light and I broke my self imposed rule of listening to it in one sitting. When I came back I quite liked down by the sea side and ten years gone. Maybe I was harsh on the first half? Didn't doubt myself enough to go listen to it again. Rate it 2,5.
Fine overall but very few standout tracks. Kashmir might be the only memorable one.
guay pero es que se me hacen eternos perdón
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.
Not my favourite from Led Zeppelin.
I've always heard Greta Van Fleet is just crappy Led Zeppelin. Listening to this album had me excited hear an improved execution of that sound. Having finished the album, this comparison seems exaggerated -- that is to say, I don't find Led Zeppelin all that much better at all.
Nie, nie mogę przesłuchać tego albumu do końca.
didn't finish it, but also it was too hard to listen for me to finish this album (heard 3 songs)
never really listened to a whole album, and didn't this time. thought I'd 'discover' LZ but no, I got bored...
Enough ok tunes for an ok album … unfortunately they added enough substandard rejects to make a long dreary double album that drags on snd on and on. Yawn.
I’ve tried and tried to get into Led Zeppelin and I just can’t do it. The songs that do have interesting hooks wear them out and then continue for several more minutes. Kashmir might actually be a good 4-minute song… at 8 1/2 it gets tedious. Really can’t stand the way Robert Plant sings. So many songs start out fine, and then he goes into screech mode and I hate it. Enjoyed some parts of “disc 2,” notably In the Light. Ten Years Gone was okay. Whenever I listen to a double album I’m mentally editing it into a single. In this case, Kashmir would be the only song from the first half I’d take… but I’d struggle to even get to a full album from the 2nd because I really can’t stand anything about the last two songs. Harmonicas should generally be confiscated.
Boring as hell same thing in each song
hmmm...! n sou mt de escutar esse genero de rock mas darei uma chance! vamos tentar ser menos ignorantes
Just not my cup of tea ig As the album goes on it just gets boring
Not my usual taste, but i'm trying. lowkey dont like it but im glad i tried Fav song: Boogie with Stu
The only song I knew was Kashmir, from marching band. All the songs were 30% too long and I don't care for the lead singer's voice. My favorite song was the 2 minute acoustic guitar instrumental.
we’ll definitely not my style of music but, “ten years gone” its a banger 2/5
Overblown. Aside from a few songs, was dull and unimaginative
Gitaarhelden
Not my favorite of theirs. Somewhat different sound that I do not like as much. Some good singles tho
Honestly, if I didn’t know it was Led Zeppelin, I would give it a two star rating. I absolutely love Led Zeppelin but this album didn’t do it for me. There were a couple I loved but I think I have to give it a two.
Led Zeppelin. Truly a classic band. Of course I've heard some of their stuff before. The instrumentals are great. However.... listening to his voice for over an hour isnt for me, though I persevered. In the end, I quite enjoyed the album.
Kashmir, känt intro o sound. Mycket av det andra gav mig inte något jättestort intryck. 70-tals rock, sköna gitarrer
If it’s a double album it must be worth hearing before you die eh? If it’s just a historical document to illustrate the excess of the 70s hard rock era, surely that can be accomplished by a footnote... It is a kind of stopgap release, just over an EP’s worth of new material with b-sides/odds and ends affixed. If I’m being charitable, there’s a kind of Zep exploring the sounds of the world/previous decades, putting their goofy spin on things, which is more or less in keeping with their whole deal: finding other, older blues songs, reworking them just enough so that they would be Zep songs. In this case they cast their net a bit wider, bringing in the Beatles, ostensibly “Far East” sounds, etc. alongside their honouring/pillaging of the past. But hey, if it’s good enough for Rage Against the Machine’s Vietnow... I doubt it would benefit from the others taking the mic a la their contemporaries in The Who, but hoo boy that is a lot of Robert Plant to listen to for 80 minutes.
this is just not my kind of of music, though i like how The Rover sounds
pov: you peaked in highschool and now you're in your 50s, you're an alcoholic father of two and you think music these days sucks, in your days the kids listened to REAL MUSIC this album evokes so many different emotions, from "this is actually a sweet tune" to "this is pretty inoffensive i can easily ignore this song playing in the background" to "oh god when will it end, wait, AN HOUR AND TWENTY TWO MINUTES???" don't care, didn't finish
Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir were great, not mad keen on the rest.
Mrzim Zeppelin. Ništa ne funkcioniše ovdje. Ovaj album traje godinu dana. Glas isto kao da mi struže po mozgu. Kad povremeno ušuti ponekad ali vrlo rijetko nađem nešto malo zanimljivije, onda se zapitam je li ovo plagijarizam? Vjerovatno jest. Mrzim Zeppelin.
Felt like the songs were missing something, not for me
This album is a bit disappointing.
Nicht meins
It was okay I suppose.
I’ve never been a huge fan of Led Zeppelin. Some of their music just sounds like noise to me and it gets annoying.
One of the better albums from led zeppelin. Still one of the most overrated bands ever.
just does not capture my attention. songs blend together in a heap of kind of boring
Não gostei muito desse álbum, não faz muito o meu gênero.
a bit of a wank 4/10
Boring for the most part
Oke ik gaf even af op al die 80's-hiphop platen waar we doorheen moeten, maar eigenlijk vind ik dit nog taaiere kost. Physical Graffiti bracht me echt nergens. Niet bij een hit, niet in een flow en niet op het puntje van mijn stoel. Meerdere malen ging het volume wat omlaag totdat Robert Plant alleen nog maar ergens - ver op de achtergrond - zijn uithalen plaatste. 4,5/10
4>PG. def don’t need repeat artists if the albums explore the same sound. Led Zeppelin is fine, but I don’t need this much.
I didn’t miss out on anything by ignoring Led Zeppelin my whole life
Led Zeppelin are a band I've always hated, but every now and then I listen to them to try to understand what others see in them. This time around, I actually quite liked a few songs. It's still mostly a case of "that's not a good song, but it's a good groove, even if it goes on way too long," but that's a big change. I don't even know who I am any more.
1. pie - 1.5 2. rover - 1 3. dying - 1.5 4. Holy - 1.5 5. Foot - 2 6. Kashmir -2 7. Light - 1.5 8. Bron - 1.5 9. Down - 1 10. Gone-1.5 11. Night - 1 12. Song -1 13. Boogie -1 14. Country - 1.5 15. Sick -1.5
Didn't necessariy enjoy the album.
Losing the energy of the early releases and getting boring.
I know it's supposed to be a masterpiece but I can't get into either the music or the vocal 😕 I tried to think of it as a poor man's Slade and this made it seem a bit better.
Way too long, never liked this much.
One of the things I've most looked forward to in this project is to be, well, forced to listen to albums by bands I don't care for but maybe haven't given them a fair shake. Led Zeppelin falls into that category... I've never really liked them but I'm not sure I've ever listened to a whole lot of their music other than their most famous tracks. It's nice to have a definitive answer one where or another and in this case: can confirm. Don't like them. I had a similar confirmation with the Rolling Stones and I'm thinking maybe I just don't like that early era blues "inspired" rock.
Blues rock. Again... with country elements too? It's really boring.. not even unique or special for the era Trampled Under Foot has a funky feeling, reminds me of Franz Ferdinand indie style Kashmir has a good tense strings riff, feel like I've heard it sampled somewhere before.. Bron-Yr-Aur is a nice instrumental 1hr 22 though... way too long Best track - Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir 2 stars
This is fine. I probably prefer IV, in part because Physical Graffiti seems to go on and on and on. This has moments, but LZ just isn't my thing.
Unfortunately it's quite good.
My boy sounds like he's getting the best head ever while he sings Bron-Yr-Aur good vibes my personal fav 7/10 creativity 4/10 fun / interest 5/10 replay-ability Overall 5.5/10 would not listen to most songs again, more a vibe kinda album seems like
If your initial recording session yields "a little less than 3 sides," you edit... don't add. This would have been a better single lp. Also, this is the 4th Zepplin we've had and I always turn on bands/artists if they have more than 3 albums on this list. Just taking space other artists could have.
Many flunky tunes, far worse than any of the five preceding albums.
I didn't need 11 minutes of slide guitar. I can't think of a single song on this album that didn't go on for at least 2 minutes too long. It's a good metaphor for the rest of the album.
I like Kashmir, the rest is ok.
Ärligt talat - orkade inte lyssna igenom allt. Det är liksom samma jävla skit i varenda jävla låt. Jag tycker om det litegrann men absolut inte tillräckligt för att sitta igenom ett långt skitigt album.
Not a Zeppelin fan but I was at one point but I got burned out on them and feel that they're a tad overrated Graffiti is would be better if it were trimmed a bit and all of the filler were removed. All you really need is The Rover, Houses Of The Holy and Kashmir. Nothing here stands out but it's not a terrible album. Just too long and at times it's a little boring.
Possibly my least favourite Led Zep album. A bit same old, same old at this point and Kashmir is just turgid.
not really my genre
Never really liked this album , but love the others . 5 stars for Kashmir, 2 for the rest.
Strippers have to dance to something.
Fine, but this could've been cut down. It became a drag towards the end.
Some good songs in there, but overall the songs feel a bit too repetitive in my opinion. Also wasn't a huge fan of the second part of the album.
👍🏻
Second album in the Zepperled chronicles. This time I'm hopping in at the end of their included albums. Or, at least, I assume so. It's awfully convenient of this band to number their early releases. Led Zeppelin III was my previous album. I recall liking Immigrant Song, but felt ambivalent about the acoustic remainder of the album. This album appears to lean more into a hard rock sound, which is a genre of music that I have an even weaker track record with. In any case, I'm going in with an open mind. Holy fuuuck if this album ain't long. I've listened to a few hour-longers in the process of getting to this point, though none which have come out to an hour twenny too. Through the process of listening to double albums and other miscellaneous long-winders I have bitched endlessly about album length. I even went into the lab to scientifically deduce the perfect album length as dictated by my favourite albums. The result: 48 minutes and 57 seconds. To put a long story short, I greatly value brevity in music because of how unlikely it is for an album to have a single good song. There's only a handful of albums I like that skirt around the hour mark and only one that breaches the hour ten mark. The grooves in the grooves of this album have to be truly, unspeakably perfect to warrant the length. In any case, let's see. It's alright. Custard Pie is a solid opener. I like the jumpy guitars and swinging vocals. There appears to be a bit of a funk influence in the backing instruments, which is certainly an interesting choice. In My Time of Dying is a pretty good cut, but holy shit if it isn't way longer than it ever needed to be. The old country, rockabilly feel of the music is very solid. I like how the guitars soar and swing over the course of the track. The percussion gives the song some much-needed life and the reverb does a lot to capture the feeling of being out in the country. Repeat this a couple of times and that's the song. I can't complain as it's a pleasing sound, though I'd be lying if it didn't lose me somewhere along the way. The SpongeBob ass guitar riff at the very end of the song saved the track tenfold and it's actually a masterpiece by the way if that matters. Bron-Yr-Aur is nice. I appreciate having the opportunity to wind down after being bent over by the preceding 8-minuters. Down by the Seaside is a good follow-up - likely the best on the album. I enjoy the rippling sound of the guitars. It makes for a pretty interesting sound when paired with the old-country feel. The guitar riff in the middle of the song is pretty kickass, too. Scratch what I said about the previous song - Ten Years Gone is the best song on the album. The lead guitar performance rules and the way those growling guitars kick in during the second half is oh-so gratifying. It's the only song on the album which really justifies it's runtime. I must have checked out during the second half of this album on my first listen as the next song - Night Flight - is also pretty good. It easily has the best vocal performance on the album. I found myself really getting into the flow and grooving with Rob Plant's vocals. The songwriting itself is a little banal (as can be said about all of these songs, really), though that's far from the strength of the band. I've been positive thus far, though the much-moaned-about length is extremely mentally exhausting and there are a great deal of tracks that didn't work for me. Kashmir is an interesting tune and I like the thundering instrumental, though the song is extremely repetitious and loses me early on. The remainder of the songs have more merit to them than the latter track, though they also ultimately fail at holding my attention. It feels wrong to say that this album blends together as there's an impressive level of variety, though there's very little of this album that sticks out in my memory. It's Led Zeppelin. I won't for a second think of knocking this inclusion, though I'm curious to know why it's on here. I'm checking the book. Influential to heavy metal. A lot of experimentation. In My Time of Dying was created out of improvisation while the band were recording the album. Sentimental. Last great album from the band. I can see the merit in this one. Physical Graffiti is dramatically different from what I remember of III. A lot more anthemic, that's for sure.
Nope not for me sorry
not really my vibe and kinda too long. worst led album I've lsistened to
like Kashmir like Led Zeppelin, but this album didn't hit for me
Led Zeppelin is an amazing greatest hits, but the albums has way too many fillers.
Versuche, die Band zu verstehen und wieso sie so beliebt ist. Habe mir das jetzt angehört und bin genauso schlau wie vorher. Fand es eher langweilig, selbst Kashmir hat zwar ein schönes Riff, kann mich aber nicht packen. Mal sehen, ob die anderen Alben der Band mich umstimmen.
A double Led Zeppelin album was probably doomed to fail (in my rating) regardless, but I have a headache, so I *extra* don't like it. It's not that they're bad or offensive, but this singing style plus the looong guitar parts are two things I have never been into, and this long album with its very long songs is not changing my stance. For a while I mixed up Robert Plant (this LZ guy) with Robert Smith (from The Cure), because I thought Robert Plant was a cooler name, so surely that would belong to the band with the music I liked. But it did not. Highlights: The song name "In my Time of Dying" (but not the song), 'Kashmir' (because the USC marching band plays it)
Too Rock for me.
Not a big fan
Something I appreciate about 70's white man rock is seeing how different concepts of masculinity were compared to today. It's good, but not for me. Like Vienna sausage and apple-cinnamon oatmeal.
Only a couple songs I liked
Kashmir and maybe one other track saves this from being 1 star. I just find Led Zeppelin quite boring.
Well, if nothing else, I preferred this to Led Zeppelin IV. Look, I can't really fault Jimmy Page - maybe he wasn't the first, but he was establishing himself as a widdly-widdly guitar hero before so many of his peers. He's not just good on his instrument, he's innovative and - more here than on Led Zep IV - he creates some truly unique sounds which, in turn, create some unique sounding songs. Then Robert Plant opens his mouth. Sorry, cannot stand his vocals one jot - while the instruments are covering new ground in the rock landscape, he is just following the same blues-rock scales, and in a limited capacity at that (I'm sure there is a song on here where he pretty much sings just one note). Now, maybe that is what grounded them back in the day - maybe Plant's vocals where the familiar "in" that helped people buy the whole proto-metal sound back in the day - but in my opinion, this hasn't aged well. He has to have the last word too, has to cram one more "Oooooh" in after the last chord has been struck - is it an ego thing? Although it's not really my kind of music, but I am happy to give this two stars for the innovation within the field from the band and the tight production, but without melodic vocal lines which match that level of innovation it all falls a bit flat and just becomes a real chore to listen to for me.
Yet more Zeppelin, to me no real progress, more clunky riff laden rock, songs not as strong as Led Zep IV. The sound of a band treading water.
Lyssnade inte klart :(
This album was much weaker than I expected or remembered. A few standout songs, but a lot of filler.
I'm in the minority but I find the majority of Led Zeppelin records to be a bit of a bore. Yeah they can play/sing well but they play dull riff rock by numbers and occasionally come up with a decent track like Kashmir.
Even when I was a big LeZ-head I thought this album was bloated and pretty uninspired. Boring riffs, generic solos, annoying wailing vocals. Lacks the raw power of their first albums or the cool exploratory mood of Houses of the Holy (except for the songs included here cut from that one) - it's just tired and phoned in. All the songs, even the good ones, are too long like warm versions of better ones they've already done.
Underwhelming compared to hopes
It seems almost sacrilegious to say but aside from the big hits I'm just not that big a fan of Led Zeppelin. This was a long album and rambled on and not in a good way. I'm not convinced.
Almost nothing makes me feel more alienated from humanity than the hard-on people have for this fucking band. Kashmir is fine.
I guess am just not a Led Zeppelin person?
I don’t listen to them.
Okay sounds. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. If you told me it was another group — such as Guns and Roses — I would not be able to say you were off from the lack of creative distinction.
2 - a more experimental project from them, you can see the vision and talent but I just don’t think it went anywhere. Kashmir was essentially the peak with the right mix of new sound and mass appeal I expect from a band this big, but not much else notable on the rest of the project
Listening to The Rover - "Hmm, maybe I actually quite like Led Zeppelin." Listening to In My Time of Dying - "Now I remember why I've avoided any deep dive before". Listening to Trampled Under Foot - "Yes, my instincts are correct." Listening to Kashmir - "maybe I'm back on board" Listening to In The Light - "I'm done" Just not into Plant's voice and lyrics, nor that level of guitar distortion, however impressive the playing might be. There's not much about the rhythm section that sparks joy or makes me want to dance either. Quite a lot of plodding, simple, swampy bass. Maybe such a big, unwieldy album isn't entry level stuff.
90 minutes of me desperately trying to just focus on jpj and bonham, who are cooking hard as always, doing their best to carry jimmy page retracting every creative thought he's ever had and a completely voice-lost robert plant giving what has to be the worst vocal performance on any acclaimed album ever. u can prob tell i still dont like this album at all FHJFSHJFS besides coda this is clearly the worst zepp record for me. that being said, i do Get the two records that follow this one up (presence and in through the out door) and the general approach of those albums starts here...not much songwriting at all even by led zepp standards, just using a song skeleton as an excuse for the playing and the vibes. its not a bad approach, and i retroactively see the vision here, but the actual material still does nothing for me unfortunately especially in such large quantities. fair play of them to end the album by immortalizing their own pedophilia lol
I didn't expect to get bored listening to a Led Zeppelin album, but here we are.
Not for me
I’m not going to sit here and say that Led Zeppelin are a shitty bar band doing lame blues covers, because they are a lot better than that. They are talented, they are genre pioneers, and I do like some of their songs, I know I do. But my god, does Physical Graffiti really support that exact critique. I just don’t have a lot of respect for a double album in general, and I definitely am not going to give any to a double album where literally half the record is material left on the cutting room floor from their last three (!!!) albums. And almost all of those songs are bad, which is why they were originally left on the cutting room floor. To make matters worse, though, the ~original~ material of here is barely any better. Physical Graffiti sounds simultaneously lazy and overly complicated. From the weird song structures that are so obviously try-hard to show off how quote-unquote ✨talented✨ they are as musicians, to the fucking length of each song that extends a literal stairway to the 9th circle of hell, to the fact that 85% of this record is just straight-up bar blues done badly, there is very little here worth one LP, let alone two. For fuck’s sake, of the 5 songs I liked, only three were originally intended for this recording session, with one of them being “Kashmir,” aka a song that I have basically known my whole fucking life and sincerely can’t untangle from my brain enough to look at it objectively. The rest? Well, “The Rover” is a song that I like in *comparison* to everything else on here, which isn’t saying much; “The Wanton Song” is the only metal-adjacent/trad-Zeppelin track on this record really, so it’s Zeppelin IV energy helps even if it was made for this record; “Ten Years Gone” is good only because it sounds like nothing else here and is a breath of fresh air; and “Bron-Yr-Aur” is 2 minutes long and an instrumental interlude, so it shouldn’t fucking count. Everything else here is insufferable to me. Whether it’s the weird cover-esque song “Boogie with Stu,” or the meandering “Houses of the Holy,” or the purposefully weird time signature of “Custard Pie,” it all sounds so obnoxious, and also so fucking vapid. Physical Graffiti has the exact same energy as a frat boi telling you about your own horoscope chart. I want to say that if I focus on the showiness of one player, especially Bonham, it becomes more tolerable, but also, good records are more than, “Wow, that drummer can play, man!” It’s not the worst record I’ve ever heard, but goddamn does it toe the line. Ban the double album, ban books on the occult from weird men, and ban interesting time signatures from bands that want to be blues bands but think they’re above that genre so they claim to be something else entirely. Physical Graffiti was a painful listen, and also feels like it really shouldn’t qualify to be on this list– both because of its background and because it just flat out sucks.
I’m sure it was great at the time but not my cup of tea. I do like Boogie with Stu a lot though.
Очередные динозавры
It’s too long a hour and half is too long for any album
4eme album de Led Zep généré. Même sentiment qu'avec les 3 autres : l'album contient quelques pépites vraiment intéressantes (Kashmir +++, In the Light, Ten Years Gone +) et d'autres morceaux très moyen. Malheureusement sur un double album (qu'il est long ...) les moyens sont majoritaires. =>2/5
Nothing too special, probably won't listen again. Had some solid solos on there though.
Led Zeppelin... Ik snap niet wat mensen hier nu zo geweldig aan vinden, misschien heb ik nog niet het juiste album gehoord maar dit is gewoon niet zo bijzonder voor mij. Dit klinkt gewoon als simpele hardrock, ik ben vooral geen fan van de zanger. Anderhalf uur is veel te lang voor een album trouwens, of het moet echt goed zijn en continue iets nieuws doen en dat is gewoon niet het geval bij dit album. Nummers worden compleet uitgesmeerd, al was het 11 minuten durende In My Time of Dying wel mijn favoriet, tenminste totdat de zanger besloot dat dit nummer wel wat enthousiast gekreun kon gebruiken! Kashmir, als grootste hit, voelt een beetje als 'Blauwe Ballen het nummer'. Het hele nummer voelt als een opbouw naar iets episch, maar eigenlijk komt het niet helemaal tot ontploffing? God, ik ga slecht op de zanger zeg, wat een vervelende stem... Als instrumentaal trio had ik dit denk ik best 3 of 4 sterren kunnen geven, maar deze zanger, gecombineerd met het feit dat dit album te veel tjak bevat, vooral in de 2e helft zeg.. Dat zorgt toch echt voor 2 sterren, wat een lange zit zeg.. FAVO: Trampled under foot, Bon-Yr-Aur
faz um EP com bron-yr-aur e kashmir e eu subo uma estrela
It was fine. I've never been a huge LZ fan. All of their songs felt a bit dull.
i wish this album was just kashmir on loop for 90 minutes. it unfortunately isn’t that and other songs on the album exist
Boring
Very long album but maybe because I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't know any of the tracks. Just not for me 😕.
Dad core. Isn't all graffiti physical? 2 discs? FOH with that In My Time of Dying has a couple of good minutes within 11 goddamn minutes of masturbation Kashmir is an all timer, not gonna pretend otherwise
Standard boring to bad rock
Pari ok-tason rallia, mutta ei tätä tule toiste kuunneltua.
i can’t sit through this whole album. i’m sorry but i hate led zeppelin so much. robert plant’s voice makes me feel anger. and i hate jimmy page. kashmir is an ok song though
Вроде норм, но не мой вайб
side three is pretty good. the rest sucks.
It's middle of the road Zeppelin. There's better Zepp records.
A breathtakingly diverse range of sound. But for me? One song was enough.
Not sure I gave it a fair shake, but didn't make it past the first disc and nothing jumped out at me.
hey Robert Plant can you please stop talking about 'love'. 'woman as a car' is a song category I thought was too dumb for even Led Zeppelin but it's my fault I'm surprised. I don't think Kashmir is anything close to Led Zeppelin's good songs. Whole thing sounds a lot more dated than their earlier albums. Less woaah ohhhh womann vocal solos but it sounds a bit like they're trying to do Queen songs. Led Zeppelin has 2-3 good songs per album, which you are to find and put on a shuffle playlist. In releasing an album this long (possibly with no good songs? I can't tell after this much Zeppelin) they have committed a crime against the listener. music: hated. (⌐■_■)
There were times that this got into some of the more interesting places Led Zeppelin is able to go. There were also times this got into 11 minute songs that started 9 minutes of JPJ playing a noodly synth solo. The bad times outweigh the good, and the sum total of the times is over 80 minutes, which is entirely too long to have to listen to Led Zeppelin for.
It's really painful listening to these classic albums for the first time, only to come out extremely underwhelmed by something so critically acclaimed. Like I really want to love Led Zeppelin, and this album, but I can't dig it at all.
Probably my least favorite Led Zeppelin album so far. Just wasn't a fan of most of it. There were a couple good songs like The Rover but overall the album felt too long.
The Wonton Song was actually interesting. The rest of it was very meh, and don't make me listen to Kashmir one more f'ing time!
Not my jam today. I don’t believe I would listen to this album again.
I still just don't like classic rock that much. I listened to the whole album and never once stopped to appreciate a song. Sound album, but not my thing.
This is better than the other one I had by them, but still, Plant always sounds like he’s about to go ‘ohhh mama’ which must be appropriated from somewhere, and sometimes he actually does it, and it’s just kind of embarrassing. I listened to more of each track than I thought but there’s no way I’d put it on again. Really hope there’s not loads more LZ on the list. 3 stars is GENEROUS. Actually fuck it, 2.
This is the sound of not having new ideas. Safety. Stunted. Mediocre, compared to the early stuff. I know it's natural, but it's just disheartening haha. Honestly I wonder if we can blame the era.. distribution and marketing innovation. Like old world artists never had to worry about their fame getting to their head, blowing up long after dying. If anyone is even remotely talented, they should be marooned haha.
I struggle with Led Zeppelin because I mildly enjoy most of their music but I never really enjoy listening to entire albums and when those albums are over an hour then they become pretty tiresome to me
Why did i listen to this whole thing
There’s a perception among my peers that Led Zeppelin fucking sucks. Theres a few reasons. For one they are thieves. For two, they don’t evolve, all their music sounds the same, it’s all white man’s blues with occasional hard rock. I tend to like their hard rock songs. I tend to like their hits. So when I got Physical Graffiti I was optimistic. I am no longer optimistic. Imagine it’s 1975, you sit down to listen to the new album from one of your favorite bands. You drop the needle on Custard Pie. My god. It’s the same shit again. It’s another fucking Led Zeppelin song. It sounds like all the others. It’s incredibly mid. Oh no. The Rover starts. More of the same. Except it just keeps going oh no. Then, fucking In My Time of Dying, it’s 11 fucking minutes of uninspired blues riffs, Robert Plant is doing what I can only call a pastiche of spiritual music and blues. It’s like the suffering of gospel music, if that suffering was dying cats. I swear he’s usually better than this. Or is he. Greta Van Fleet is a band whose whole existence is preying on boomer nostalgia for Led Zeppelin. The edgy kids who said today’s music sucks also love them. They are bad. I feel like their music and some tracks on here are, essentially, the same. This is a death knell. Trampled Under Foot. Thank God. What a good song. It’s awesome. Funk is such a refreshing change of pace. There’s energy here. It’s such a forward looking song. I bet the Chili Peppers love this song. The whole album could have been this direction and it would be so much better for it. Even the cynic in me can’t deny, Kashmir is a fucking triumph, it’s sort of baffling that they…don’t do more like this? Clearly they’re talented enough to explore prog and funk, they’re the best songs on here. Did they stick with the old formula because they didn’t want to alienate fans? They should have. This albums too long, the few stand outs don’t save it. Blegh.
I really wanted to give this album the benefit of the doubt. The first few songs were really good. Then came the first long song. Then another. Then lots of songs with throaty ooohs instead of lyrics. I listened to it all. I won’t go back.
Mid
Honestly, I don't understand the hype behind Led Zep, the songs are too long and repetitive, and while I can recognize the talent that went into the songs, I only found maybe 3 of them worth my time, and I wouldn't be upset if I never heard anything off of this album ever again, to be frank.
Ah, I really tried to like it, but it's just not MY kind of rock. Sorry Mr Zeppelin.
First two sides are close to a 4, but the bloat knocks it way down.
Rollete. Y largo.
Boring
Jos tää ei ois niin jumalattoman pitkä niin saisi yhden ekstratähden. PG > II > I > IV
STANDOUTS: Trampled Under Foot Kashmir OVERALL: 2/5; love the die-cut vinyl story though
Rollete. Y largo.
Outside of a small handful of good tracks, and the many cool riffs, this album is just plain boring. I wouldn't mind it as much if it were a single album, but this is a double. Not that I hate long albums, but there's quite a lot of filler here and that is a cardinal sin for double albums. Also Robert Plant's voice really annoys me. And Jimmy Page had a 12 year old girlfriend
The first part of this album is classic. The second… meh… when you listen to these songs, you understand why they weren’t included on their parent albums… they are just not great. I’m not a big Led Zeppelin fan but this for me easily the worst one
Not for me, really. Overindulgent. Moments of exciting bombast, especially the sequence of Trampled Under Foot (clavinet! Superstition rip off?!), Kashmir and In the Light (moody synthy intro). But too much twee shit, like Down By the Seaside, or just bad 12 bar blues, like Boogie with Stu (which does rather sound like a bass player doing his best on keys...).
vielfältig, experimentell .. und etwas aus der zeit gefallen, auch wenn von vielen geklont und referenziert. für mich eher backgroundmusik beim staubsaugen ..
Om det er AC/DC, eller Zeppelin, så er det simpelthen så skabelon rent, at jeg keder mig alt for hurtigt. Selv med 3 dage til det, syntes jeg det var en svært album at komme igennem.... Jeg er ikke fan endnu.... Et dobbelt album er også for voldsomt, med den ikoniske skærebrander vokal....
Not even an interesting album in context
I just don’t like Robert Plant’s voice. Most of the songs could be cut in half. Zeppelin is not my jam.
Look - I’m not trying to be inflammatory here, but this album was so boring. Not to say it is bad musically, but this album could’ve removed a ton of bloat and would have been better for it. A 40 minute album containing “Kashmir” “Down By the Seaside” and “Night Flight” (and others I s’pose) would have resulted in a tighter album worth revisiting. As of now, I likely won’t revisit it.
Physical Graffiti left me with mixed feelings. While I admired its beautiful artwork and could hear the undeniable skill of the musicians, I couldn't shake the sense that it dragged on, almost like a sombre dirge. Despite its revered status, I found myself questioning why it's held in such high regard. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 2 STAND OUT TRACK - Down By the Seaside
ну кашемир круто, но в целом очень исторический альбом. слушать прям тяжеловато
Me gustó más el anterior de Led Zeppelin.
One of Zepplin’s best, but that’s not saying much. Too much of their musics is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Not impressed
4.5/10 - The avengers theme is in here that's crazy. Some of the songs are too long. One of them sounded like there was sex noises in the background and a few were too long.
No me ha encantado además para ser led zepellin la verdad
I like Led Zeppelin as much as the next music fan raised by rockers, but with this record it's more like Meh Zeppelin.
love Zeppelin, but have never gotten this one
good but not my jibe just could not get into it
A little disappointed to get this first as I wore out the vinyl when I was 14. I do play a lot of music for my 7-year-old, including a bit of "classic rock", though not any Zeppelin that I recall. Trying to listen with those ears, maybe something will pop. But, I've just reached the 11 minute dirge of "In My Time of Dying", and I'm connecting on a pretty fundamental level with that. Completed, it just seems so sessiony. There is undeniable talent here and some really great moments, but they are too spread out across fifteen 5-6-8-11 minute songs. Not that the stuff in between is bad, it's just often unnecessary. On the other hand, I think I bought drugs out front of 96-98 St. Mark's Place (featured on the album cover) on a few occasions. That's a happy memory.
I never was much of a Led Zeppelin fan and this listen hasn't converted me
Bis auf Kashmir für mich nichts dabei.
I feel like I've been listening to Led Zeppelin copycats. This is already much more interesting than all the 80s hard metal bands that I've encountered so far. Not super into it though, 2*. Oh hey, I know Kashmir. Enjoyed: guitars in Bron-Yi-Aur.
