Physical Graffiti

Classic.

holy shit man why did they have to give me an album so late it their career? I’d feel like an asshole if I just jumped in that late, so I listened to their five prior albums all in one day and each and every one of those six albums were beyond incredible, greater than a 10/10, they were all too good to give a simple rating to and it felt like they kept getting better after each one? but then like listening to the older stuff again felt just as amazing as the late stuff I couldn’t tell you what my favorite album of the six were, hell I can’t even say what my favorite song from this album was like Led Zeppelin I & II we’re both pretty incredible hard rock albums, and they both had some really fun blues songs for some spice and then I think they really stepped up in LZ-III with all these amazing experimental sounds that I couldn’t get enough of and then they moved it in a very beautiful direction with LZ-IV, it’s still definitely hard rock, but a lot more acoustic, gentle, spiritual and celtic a very nice laid back album and then you got Houses of the Holy which is beyond words honestly, like every album is my favorite but I think this one has just the right kind of songs to cater to my specific tastes just a hair above the others with its beautiful usage of electronic and reggae, it’s something I can’t put into words and then I listened to Physical Graffiti and like, man, this one was too fucking amazing too, I can’t fucking tell if I like this one the most or not like I just got so lost in wonder listening to each and every one of these six spectacular albums I really can’t pick a favorite here, they’re all tied for being my favorite Led Zeppelin album I’m a little tired after listening to six albums in a row but I’m glad I did, that was such an amazing experience now I gotta listen to Presence, In Through the Out Door, Coda, and their Live albums, plus anything else I might have missed holy shit seriously listen to all their stuff, it’s too fucking good

I just bought it on eBay. So, yeah, it's good...

Even though this album has Kashmir, this is probably my least favorite Led Zeppelin album. But the least favorite among greatness is still great!

A masterpiece. Love the band. Love the album.

Way better than i even remember. Solid through.

Kashmir is a classic, Trampled Under Feet is a genuine funk banger and House of the Holy is southern toe tapping swamp rock at it's best. An album that surprised me!

Some real classics. A few bits of filler

Overall: Excellent. Relisten? Yes

The Rover In my time of dying Kashmir In the light Bron Yr Aur Voilà comment choper 5 étoiles Adele

A lot of new Led for me b/c there are a ton of less popular songs on this album. All of them are fantastic.

It's Led Zeppelin. It's perfect.

Not my absolute favorite LZ album, but it's a close second. This thing rules man, and even though it's a long double album it doesn't overstay its welcome, due to the band mixing up the style of song so often. Fantastic classic rock record.

This album is maybe the purest expression of the Led Zeppelin sound. It's unique and catchy and damn good.

Another Zeppelin classic.

Really looked forward to listening to this one, as I never have before.....and it delivered!!!! Will listen to more Zeplin!!!

Led Zeppelin is beloved for a reason. I think legalization will help resurrect them a little.

Really like the keyboard, wonder what sybrh they used. Somewhat classical in arrangement. Surprisingly wide variety of styles. And really impressive technically!

Surpreendente ainda não ter escutado o álbum. Referência da força sublime do rock.

I've listened to and enjoyed this album before. Kashmir is probably my all-time favourite song so that was an obvious highlight. I think most of the tracks are very well put together, with exciting, dynamic drumming and some amazing riffs. It's long, and at times is just plain old blues rock, but I still think the album is worthy of 5 stars.

so heavy. i had no idea.

Great album. Can't go wrong with Zeppelin.

We were surprised how many great songs were on this album.

Such a classic, it hurts.

I LOVE IT

Love the group

Love this album. On display is a mastery of a wide range of styles.

L’ultimo grande disco degli Zeppelin

Excellent!

Fantastic

Huge

LOVED. Surprised I only knew one song on the album prior. Added lots of songs to my senior year playlist which inspired me to make more playlists. 9/10.

So many good songs! It’s been too long since I’ve listened to this album! Saved to favs!

My favorite Zepp album that has 2 of my favorite Zepp songs “Sick Again” & “10 Years Gone” Awesome album

Obsesionado con el sonido de la pata de la bateria. En general, el nivel de producción es brutal. Comparen con otros discos de la época que suenan a cartón, esto suena en vivo y brutal.

Really good, lots of bangers. Probably on par with Houses of the Holy for me in terms of having those long tracks that you can sit with for a while

Zeppelin will always be around the top of my list of favorite bands of all time. I could go on all day about how much I love their music and how distinct each of their albums are

In de auto geluisterd met Eva, vonden we allebei tof.

Has a spicy light affair with this album in 2006 ovoid with Shane. Great album

The product of seasoned great musicians, rock at its peak

Four sides of pure Zeppelin goodness - if I were being honest, probably 4 stars compared to Led Zeppelin III or Houses of the Holy, but the extra star for nostalgia as this just BARELY fit on a 90 minute Maxell cassette - it was my first cassette on my St Louis-to-New Jersey roadtrips in my college years going home - got me halfway across Illinois.

Para 1975 Zeppelin llevaba 7 años de haber iniciado, iniciando en 68 a la par de Black Sabbat todavía no se daba el salto propio a lo que sería el metal que habrían de originar entre las dos bandas; en estos momentos no había banda más grande y pesada que Led Zeppelin. Después de unos primeros 4 discos espectaculares, uno muy bueno y siendo una banda enorme sacan un disco doble, de hora y media de duración que, a mi parecer, es el mejor de todos (y quizá el último de sus discos que realmente vale la pena completo). Con una simple pasada lo primero que salta es una producción impecable y trabajadísima; canciones llenas de sonidos, capas y experimentos sonoros que en prácticamente todos los casos funcionan. Lo que más llama la atención es la amplísima gama de ritmos y estilos que usan. Podría uno pensar que esto haría un disco discordante o que no tiene cohesión pero en este caso es muy por el contrario; el disco se siente como un gran ejemplo de toda la obra del grupo y de lo versátiles y talentosos que podían ser. Mucho más allá de hacer más hard-rock simple para estadio con los ritmos que habían perfeccionado se permiten experimentar e innovar, nos dan un rocanrol básico y clásico en Boogie With Stu, una miniatura folk en Bron Yr Aur, un extraño pero excelente... "funk-metal" en Trampled Underfoot, progresivo en In the Light, pop con Down by the Seaside. Ten Years Gone muestra incluso que la banda puede ser sentimental y hacerlo bien. In My Time of Dying, quizá mi canción favorita del disco, muestra lo virtuoso de Jimmy Page y con 11 minutos de duración no cansa. Como si no fuera suficiente, a la mitad de todo esto dejan caer Kashmir, como bestia exótica de todo el misticismo oriental de Plant y Page, las cuerdas elevan la canción mientras que la batería le terminan de dar forma a una canción que solo podría llamársele "monolítica" en mi opinión. En mi opinión Physical Graffiti es el último gran disco de Led Zeppelin y el mejor. A más de 46 años de salir es impresionante lo fresco, pesado e innovador que todavía se siente.

Very very good. The "cough" in "My Time of Dying" has a Charlie Lions vibe

Love this album! Forgot all of these tracks were on this album.

Visar varför dom en av de stora

No lo había escuchado completo y podría decir que el mame de que es la banda mas grande del rock es por éste disco en gran parte, completito directo a la playlist. Tienen un gran manejo de los ritmos y las situaciones por instrumento. Gran Gran disco aunque al final ya creo que tiene varias rolas de relleno (todo el lado D)

Love them, love this

Better than yesterday’s led zep 3. A little long at places but really shines where it does

holy fuck! my favorite led zeppelin album and it's really not even close. bluesy and powerful and huge and perfect. fav track: boogie with stu

Some really good turn up the volume style songs. Obviously Kashmir is a classic. A good album overall

Robert Plant sure likes his oooohhsss. I actually really liked the acoustic in this album. It's not very controversial to say Led Zeppelin is very good.

Love it

An epic saga

Man I forgot about into the light.

Simply amazing!

Great, underrated Zeppelin album, more mature song writing and lyrics.

Incredible Album Led Zep's best

Back to back 5s

absolute great

The last album before the "downfall" of the Zeppelin, and it's wonderful. Led Zeppelin surely defined a generation without properly reinventing anything, they just rocked, and this album is proof as much as the others before. You know their sound and they just deliver throughout the entire first disc; the second disc, tho, leans into a more bluesy mood that, in my opinion, works wonderfully, the magical "Down by the Seaside" being one of the highlights of the album alongside the catchy harmonica on "Black Country Woman", judging by the streaming numbers, this side of the album is surely being slept on! A great experience overall and the (almost) hour and a half passes very quickly.

The generator is at it now. Just constant classic rock This is probably my favourite Led Zeppelin album. Ordinarily the length would make it a struggle for me but the variety prevents it from getting stale. Though one or 2 probably could have been cut, it's stronger in the first half and does get mildly weaker towards the end. There isn't anything I don't like, though the stomping riff on Trampled Under Foot is kind of goofy and it sort of bothers me, even though I listen to plenty of other goofy music 4.5 Highlights: In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, The Wanton Song, The Rover

Classic rock

An hour and a half of really good rock, but it's just not for me

Excellent 4/5

I know a handful of Led Zeppelin songs, Kashmir being my favorite, so I'm happy to see it on the track list for this one. It slaps. Nice start to a Monday. I could listen to this again and saved some tracks to playlists.

8/10

A little bloated but still has some great cuts.

Of course a classic album, this is always a pleasure to spin, and I realised it’s a fantastic one to listen to while jogging. Kashmir came on at just the right time to give me the boost I needed. In The Light was a nice discovery for me - I’d heard it before but this is the first time I’d really taken notice, and I loved it. Bron-Yr-Aur has always been a favourite of mine and remains my pick of the collection.

Less is more. If they had called it a day after the first disc, this would have been a five.

Like most Led Zeppelin this is a great album. Unlike most Led Zeppelin it kind of sticks around a bit too long. Maybe it's just me coming off having Led Zeppelin Untitled (AKA Led Zeppelin 4) just yesterday but this one seems to just be a bit too long to listen to. It does have my favorite song from them on here Kashmir which wraps up the first disc of this on vinyl and is just about as much Led Zeppelin as you need.

One of Led Zeppelin's best. I especially love the funk-inspired "Trampled Under Foot" and, of course, you can't go wrong with "Kashmir."

This is more fun than their other albums on this list for me because I haven’t listened to it nearly as much. Good variety here as well.

Double albums hey. Kashmir is such an awesome song and there are a few others that are in the cannon, but could it have been a single album?

- 'Custard Pie' riff reminds me of both older Led Zeppelin (e.g. Four Sticks) and Black Sabbath's Paranoid. Not my favourite or much to stay but still a good opening that feels classic. - Really love 'The Rover'!! - opening rift and the beautiful guitar melody of the chorus. Instrumental breakdown is cool. Desperate and longing lyrics that are also politically critical - 'I would dearly like to know / How all this squander of earthly plunder (great lyric) / Will leave us anything to show / And our time is flying / See the candle burning low / Is the new world rising / From the shambles of the old? ... If we could just join hands.' I find it interesting how a lot of hard rock songs have an opening/main instrumental and riff that seems incongruous to some of the more rueful lyrics (they appear too groovy and upbeat) until you realise the anger in them and how that is deeply intwined with sadness. - Opening (and entire first three minutes tbh) of 'IMTOD' goes WINCINGLY hard. Drum breakdowns are so addictive. Impossible not to head bang! Plant's vocals often feel like they fade into background obscurity - until the music completely dies eight mins in and the song pulls you back, forces you to pay attention - "Oh, my Jesus!". Almost like it is finally that point in which the narrator realises death is imminent and the noise of the world is extinguished - the religious focus of the song becomes more prominent. The 'byes' in the last two minutes are almost humorously blunt - and the moans and 'take it's towards the ends feel sexually charged. This is a great blending of emotion and primal instinct in the time of dying - the desperation and acceptance at the culmination of a human life. Then the last few seconds of silly band noise brings you back to reality. 'Can I take you to the movies?' - The opening of 'Houses of the Holy' feels undeniably different and a little jarring compared to the last song - but that seems intentional. Isn't life a big mess, after all? And it is a mess filled with joy. The lyrics are mostly as optimistic as the instrumental groove. Maybe the most holy places are the ones where we find that ordinary joy. 'Trampled Under Foot' - Ahh finally, the sexual anthem. Hot! Lyrics are fun and heavily euphemistic which still makes them so clever. The themes are at the same time celebratory, reverent and violent. Typical of the male rockstar and the male sex drive, honestly. 'Kashmir' is of course I classic I have listened to many times before. It is easy to get lost in, yet still in the context of the album feels like a very natural stage that progresses the record. It brings a sense of both triumph and doom, combined with tones of foreignness and adventure which bring music influences not yet heard on the album. It feels like both a climax and a diversion from the rest of the project. The opening of 'In the Light' does indeed feel like stepping into the light, but that of another world entirely. It's ethereal and haunting, sort of Celtic, and stops you in your tracks. As the song progresses, things become more familiar. The instrumental at four minutes is unusually mellow and sentimental, lovely. Focused more on piano, bass and organ than drum. Then we are brought back to the beginning, suddenly and yet naturally. The reality of your weakness, your flaws, it comes back into the light. Yet, simultaneously you feel in the softness of dark. Beautiful. - By 'Bron-Yr-Aur' and 'Down by the Seaside' (already heard many times, courtesy of Dad), I am feeling positively relaxed and mellowed out. Still, though, a little melancholy - nostalgic, maybe. I feel like I'm at the end of the journey. I've experienced many failures, maybe I am even dead. But I am at a stage of somewhat acceptance. Still - life bleeds through and rips you up at the instrumental break of DBTS and the tonal shift that follows. It is not over yet. Still, like in most songs on the album's first half, the original feeling eventually returns and brings that sense of duality. There never exists one state, one emotion, on its own - peace and anxiety always run parallel to each other. Where there is life, there is death. Which one is really the more painless? 'Ten Years Gone' - Once again there is a beginning of reflection, drifting, sadness. Life goes on - and it goes quickly. Yet, you only realise that once you finally slow down. Another really beautiful one - an homage to the long haul, in life and relationships. 'Night Flight' - A tonal shift and call to action. Probably the weakest for me so far on first listen, though. 'The Wanton Song' - Has a great central riff and rhythm that drives the song and makes it easily likeable. The chaotic sound reflects the title well. However, I didn't find it as interesting or memorable as some of the earlier tracks. 'Boogie With Stu' - Probably my least favourite. The opening percussion was a promising start and carried through to the end. I understand the sort of silliness and fun happening as well as the hints of ragtime influence, but the music generally isn't my kind of style at least for this moment. Thematically, the casual aspects of the song reflect to me the 'wanton(ness)' of the whole record, symbolising the duality of emotion and human experience - the bustle and comedy of a city, just the tip of a dark underbelly. 'Black Country Woman' - Like the last song, opening with a sense of casualness (accented by intentionally-included audio disruption), tinged by a country and bluesy twang. When the drums pick up and harmonicas sing, I found it easy to get invested in the song. Once again exploring strong feelings of betrayal and loss, the song maintains a fun central spirit. 'Sick Again' - The metallic guitar invoked once again, for me, the soul of Black Sabbath - bringing the record full circle somehow. However, it had the mess and chaos of Led Zeppelin, something that felt like a culmination of the album's story. Loud and clanging, purifying - driven by dirty low guitar but cleansed by high, piercing percussion. Unified and yet also distinct from each other. Just like those many aspects of life the album captures - noise, quiet, tragedy, comedy, seriousness, carelessness, anxiety, peace, life, death. Perhaps not as final a closer as, say, 'When the Levee Breaks', but still packing a punch.

we listen in da car and it wqs bussin

Pas mon album préféré de Led Zep. Certaines pistes sont trop "hard", d'autres sont magiques (kashmir, ten years gone, in the light...)

3.5 but I suppose I’ll round up

I love Led Zeppelin. There are songs on here that are new discoveries for me.

Ah the double album that sounds like two completely different albums. It's a bit jarring when you first listen to it. It's a solid Zepplin album, then it's not, it's some almost prog rock album. Wild if you aren't ready or know about it. So the first album is as I said a solid Zepplin album. Trampled under Foot, Kashmir, and Houses of the Holy seriously some great classic rock staples. Then you hit the prog portion and you go wait what? Then remember the same band wrote songs about the Lord of the Rings and it makes a bit of sense. Good album, well worth a listen or two.

Was struck by the similarities between this and the previous album. For their respective eras they were doing the same thought of thing. But in Zeppelin's time they had to be a bit more tuneful. From timeless classics like Kashmir to some of my personal favourites such as Bron Y Aur Stomp, Down By The Seaside, and Ten Years Gone. A great album all told. Ca only be a 4

A Led Zepp LP I enjoyed? Shhh. No way. Plenty of experimental elements to this. I really got excited when 'Kashmir' came on, I didn't realise this was them! Sorry for showing my ignorance, and being trampled under foot, but proggy old shit is not my bag normally. Tracks like 'Down by the Seaside' and 'The Wanton Song' have made me reevaluate my opinion of the Zepp I'm even tempted to buy this too, but if I do I will keep it a secret.

It's weird this I've was chosen for this list over Houses of the Holy

Trækker op, at jeg virkelig godt kan li' Led Zep, og at der er langt mellem nogen snaps på den her liste. Men mere anonymt fra dem. Anden halvdel var bedst.

damn good album. kashmir is on top. noticed robert plant's voice got higher and higher

🎸🐫⚡️🥧🤘

Un peu dommage que ça soit celui-ci notre premier album de Led Zep. Du bon rock mais la flamme est un peu passée

Led Zeppelin had lost their appeal to me at this point. Great album. They just weren’t wowing like they did initially. I listened to this years later and wondered why I had lost interest. Still blistering rock. Can’t figure it.

5/5 first, 3/5 second

There’s like three songs on here I had no idea where Led Zeppelin

Now look. In many ways this is their towering achievement. Double album, very little that could be considered a bad track. But it's almost as if the world has moved on past the 70s, and past led Zeppelin, so it's no longer relevant any more.

15 track 4-star album that was born to be a 5-star 10 track album A lot to digest but regardless, Page's guitar work is memoroavle on all but a couple of fillers

Musically this is awesome, but I’ve never been able to get into the vocal style of this type of rock

There's something to be said for a band to be able to make an 80 minute long album and not have it feel like it's dragging through the finish line. This record is expansive, bold, and honestly pretty refreshing for a band that has become so overplayed in the annals of rock, that even their best songs get very wearisome. It starts incredibly, "Custard Pie" is a herky jerky rocker with an off kilter beat and very odd guitar playing. Plant wails about wanting to cream a lady (classy) but that doesn't really matter so much as it just kicks off the record with a bang (lol). "The Rover" is really where things start to get serious though. Probably one of the purest examples of Led Zep busting through with just a straight up incredible rock song. "In My Time of Dying" starts slow, but once it kicks into gear this thing becomes one of the best instrumental jams the band has ever crafted. "Houses of The Holy" rounds out side A with another solid rock track. Side B is where the album really digs into the bizarre. "Trampled Under Foot" is surprisingly funky and kind of throws you off guard before the monumentous "Kashmir" struts in. This song has always been intimidating in nature. The powerful strings sounding like an imperial march provide the backing to an expansive 9 minute long song that you just wind up lost in. To be frank, I've kinda grown weary of this song and I'm ready for it to be over by the time the 5 minute mark comes in. Even still, it's presence cannot be denied. Side C has "In The Light" which continues the mystifying nature of the previous song, but I couldn't get into this one as much as I would've liked. "Bron-Yr-Aur" provides a wonderful breath of fresh air with a beautiful acoustic interlude that doesn't sound too unlike what Iommi does on Black Sabbath albums. It's wonderfully played and sounds gorgeous, I could have that on repeat no problem. "Down By The Seaside" is a fun and lighthearted song that's a bit Eagles-esque with it's pop-tinged country rock vibe and then Zep bring it in at the end to transform it into their hard rock style. An underrated track for sure. "Ten Years Gone" is the perfect capstone to this side of the record, as it's a heartfelt dirge about Plant's ex lover whom he had to leave behind due to his demanding career. The guitar-work on this song is the perfect accompaniment to the heartfelt lyrics and passionate singing. Side D sadly is where the record starts to fall off for me. " Night Flight" and "Wanton Song" are both pretty good rockers but the kitschy "Boogie With Stu" and the incredibly loose "Black Country Woman" feel like throwaway tracks to pad out the length of the record, and "Sick Again" is just not very memorable as a closer. It's easy to see why this album is so highly regarded. True, my Zep fatigue has kind of affected my overall enjoyment of the album I would say, but as far as double albums go there's no denying how much of an achievement this album is and it definitely deserves it's place as one of the most celebrated rock albums.

Oh shit it’s good so far Oh I recognize Kashmir The music itself was good but idk that it's something I'd ever seek out to listen to again

This was a good if not long listen. You can see how bands like the white stripes got their influence from these guys. Solid album. 8.25/10 Top song Trampled under foot

love Led Zeppelin

Good classic rock with a good groove. Songs were quite long. Intricate guitars and just a good overall vibe. 4/5

This album is packed with the usual bombastic Zeppelin sound. Indicative of the fully ignited, richness of mid 70s studio hedonism. The money and the drugs run freely in this recording, but its Led Zep in some of their most creative and inspired moments. Granted, it's not all perfect - Black Country Woman seems anachronistic for it's name sake - apparently included as filler for the double album, it can't hold a candle to the inspired, driving, non-western influences present on Kashmir.

Do I need to hear this before I die? Well I have. Many times. One thing about this album is that it’s really affected. So many riffs would have more impact if they had less treatment. The prime example being Ten Years Gone. What a riff. It would hit harder without the effects. Lyrically, this album is dumb, but so are all Zeppelin albums. Plant’s vocals sound strained as well, but there are so many interesting grooves and musical moments.

Fantastiskt album och fantastiskt band. Älskar Led Zeppelin! Kashmir är en absolut favorit men gillar massa annat på albumet också förstås. Når inte riktigt upp till en 5:a men en väldigt stark 4, skulle säga 4.5. Jag har svårt för långa album. helt enkelt.

Great musicianship, great energy, still feels fresh, interesting (if occasionally ridiculous) lyrics. At times maybe just a bit much.

Great collection of tracks, feel way shorter than the run time suggests

in the light, down by the seaside

Nous y voilà. Un deuxième album de Led Zeppelin et c'est un de ceux que je ne connais pas. Presque une heure et demi de Led Zeppelin, c'est pas si mal. Bon, j'en ai déjà parlé la dernière fois, Robert Plant est un personnage douteux, donc rien que pour ça, une étoile de moins, tiens ! Bon bref, musicalement, c'est du Led Zeppelin (sans plagiat, cette fois, en plus, je crois !), donc c'est très cool, au niveau de la guitare, c'est au top, les compos sont cool et variées, des fois t'as des passages acoustiques (et c'est une facette du groupe que j'adore) et même si c'est très long, tu t'ennuies pas une seconde. Bon, faut aimer Led Zeppelin et c'est quand même un peu mon cas. J'imagine bien que quelqu'un qui n'aime pas va se frapper la tête contre les murs.

A mixed bag with some important classics.

Still a Zeppelin record but probably a very small notch below some others.

Great riffs. Down tempo Zeppelin at times. Great drum parts. Vocals are fantastic. 4.2/5.0

I listened to this while working (same for most of the albums I’ve listened to so far) and while I enjoyed the album, nothing really stole my attention. 3.5/5.

It was good, but a little too dragged out. My favorite was Kashmir, then Houses of the Holy, Bron-Yr-Aur, and Down by the Seaside were all good. Overall, I’d give it a 4.1/5! 😴🥀

I love Led Zeppelin though this is not my favorite album of theirs. Pleasant enough to listen to though and has Kashmir on it so still deserves a good rating.

Led Zeppelin's last good album (Led Zeppelin IV/Symbols was their last great album). At this point, Robert Plant's voice is starting to crack, losing the raw shriek he had throughout the first four albums. You can still hear it on tracks like Custard Pie. The Rover is a solid Jimmy Page rif-driven track and In My Time of Dying as well, with Plant in proper form in the latter. House of the Holy is the first iffy track on this album, and it's clear why they left this out of the album of the same name. Plant's voice sounds whiny rather than angry shrieking. It's not terrible, but I'd never put this one on a playlist. Plant's back to form in Trampled Under Foot, and while this track is good, it reminds me about that sound of echo or reverb that kind of annoys me in a lot of mid-70s Zeppelin tracks. Not sure what it is exactly, but this track would have been better if recorded a few years earlier and nothing else was different about it. Kashmir obviously classic, and In the Light carries on with this experimental vibe--In the Light might be my favourite track on this album. I remember seeing it on an LZ laser light show once and it was awesome. Love the acoustistic track, Bron-y-Aur. Down by the Seaside is a terrible track. If you could fire this track into space and replace it with one of the only good tracks on their next few albums and make Led Zeppelin 5. Ten Years Gone is OK, but fillerish vibes as well. Night Flight is terrible as well. Wanton Song just OK. Boogie With Stu is Terrible. Black Country Woman is a good one. Sick Again is another dud. Overall this album is still pretty good, just not flawless like the first four. 4/5

Excelente banda y albúm. Energía y variedad en géneros. Muy divertido.

Ooph I obviously did not finish this long one again because I'm an insolent chud. All I currently have to say is a cool ass album cover. On my AP Human grade I will finish listening to this by the end of the week. Because it's Led Zeppelin and I need to seem cultured I will be giving this 4 stars thank you very much.

Excellent first half, does drag on in the second which is a shame but enjoyable

The main downside to this album is the length! I struggle with long albums. Especially when the first half of the album felt so punchy, and the second half was a little more lowkey. However, this album was pretty damn great. I never listened to LZ prior to starting this challenge and I feel like I was missing out. It's heavy yet soft at times, and showcases such cool riffs.

Can I Make Your Garden Grow? 1001 Albums Generator 284 (5/5/2026) I've always been more of a II, IV, and Houses of the Holy guy when it comes to Led Zep, but I've heard multiple people say that Physical Graffiti is their favorite. I never understood this opinion because I remembered PG being very filler-heavy. And you know what, there is some filler on this album, especially in the last quarter, but you know what else is on here? The FUCKING Rover. Down By The FUCKING Seaside. Trampled Under FUCKING Foot. KashFUCKINGmir. This album is amazing dude. If it ended with the criminally underrated The Wanton Song and we rode off into the sunset, with the only bit of arguable filler being Bron-Yr-Aur (but I actually like that song) and Night Flight, this would be an easy 5. As it is, the last three songs are varying levels of weak, so it sits at a 4.5/5, rounded down to a 4. Favs: Trampled Under Foot Down By The Seaside Ten Years Gone Least Fav: Boogie With Stu

Love Zeppelin but curious why this album is on the list. Are there more? Zeppelin II is better.

I really like 'In my time of dying'... Other than that its a cool album

classic

I'm less than 100 albums into this project and I'm already on my fourth Zeppelin. I even got lucky enough to get the debut first. That being said, the first one was always my preference, but this album comes pretty close to it. The music is still the same combination of bluesy rock n' roll with superb musicianship, but this contains more songs I really enjoy than on the previous albums I was given ("The Rover", "Kashmir", "Bron-Yr-Aur", "Ten Years Gone"). As the albums go on, Zeppelin's music becomes more diverse and at times, experimental. But it all remains enjoyable at the end of the day.

When I first encountered this album way back when I was daunted by the prospect of a whole double album. My, how I've changed. Plus i was way past the discovery stage with this band & consequently I considered this album to be Kashmir plus some odds & ends. So I never went systematically thru... until now. So many great deep cuts on this one. Love this band. Rarely listen to them anymore, so it's a ton of fun to dive back in on occasion. I'm giving this one a 4+. How much of a + is the question. I think I'mma go 4.49--not quite enough to tip the scale upwards, but easily standing above the normal 4s. Reserving the right to come back & push it up upon further reflection

This could've been one of Zeppelin's best records if it was trimmed down to like 10 songs. Still very good. 7/10

Do indeed to write much. It’s Led ZEP. It’s great. It’s not my favourite of the many of theirs that has turned up. But it’s hands down better than most other artists. I would happily listen to it many times.

Very much enjoying this one. Feels like proper rock having come off the back of The Who and Mott The Hoople. This is an album that is made to be turned all the way up

I’ve enjoyed a good bit of Led Zeppelin in the past and this one is a solid album. Kashmir & Bron-Yr-Aur are standouts for myself. I don’t tend to gravitate toward Led Zeppelin’s music these days for various reasons, however I do not discount their influence on many artists or rock and roll as a whole. Happy listening!

I again heard a few songs I have sort of known. It's a very familiar feel but I cannot help feel that the era that has produced this music is truly over. It's essentially the product of a different culture that shares very little with today. This doesn't make it bad. This album brought a bit of anemoia even though I don't deem its era to be better than today overall

the rover оч понравилось. в остальном приятный альбом, шумный, не раздражающий или отвлекающий.

Not my top Led Zeppelin album, but does have a couple of my favorites.

Another really long one.. but not bad, +1 for boogie with stu

Smells like cocaine. Fuckin' rocks.

Some bangers,(Kashmir, Trampled Under Foot, Down by the Seaside which feels like the perfect song to roll the credits to). Love some of the riffs and drums on this record. But imo it gets a little repetitive, sometimes too long and stretched out without much going on (e.g In My Time of Dying). Or maybe the high pitch voice just got in my head too much.

Too long.

Allein wegen "Kashmir" hörenswert. Sehr gutes Prog-Rock Album. 4/5

très bon album, peut-être le meilleur du groupe, ça se discute avec Led Zeppelin IV. Les quatre faces proposent un inventaire intéressant de la discographie du groupe. Petit coup de cœur pour la face A. Quelque longueur tout de même, ça reste Led Zep

Really great album! I like the second half more than the first. There are a lot of riffs in this album that you can really hear in some weezer and I want to say stone temple pilots songs. Very cool.

Es mi álbum favorito hasta ahora. Una rica introducción principalmente a los ritmos funk y rock. Se entiende como un álbum versátil e inmersivo.

Doubted between 4 and 5 stars. The album feels more patchy than its predecessors. It is still a pillar of rock history of course.

A great record with some of the punchiest songs Zep ever recorded. The first disc is perfect, second drops the ball a little but still hits pretty hard. Good stuff all round.

Love this album, some of my very favourite Led Zep tracks, but some gubbins unfortunately too !

This is the fourth of my Led Zeppelin listens on the list. Considering that I first had them at album 129 and this is album 257(including the one I haven't yet rated at the time of writing). This is probably the most indulgent album Zeppelin ever made, with tracks like "In My Time of Dying" running for far too long. Despite this, it feels different than earlier Zeppelin. It feels less flashy than a lot of their old songs, and a bit more tired. They're beginning to lose their edge on this record, unfortunately. However, it's still Zeppelin-and Zeppelin songs are almost always inherently good. It's still an enjoyable record, even if it's quite bloated and lacking the vitality of older records.

I don't think they needed a double album here but still another very good one from Led Zeppelin.

good, some tracks I had never heard before

This album should not have been a double album. There are some great songs on here, but a lot of mediocre songs that aren't up to par with Led Zeppelin's normal output. Only docking it a single start because mediocre Zepp is still Zepp.

Solid rock album. Feels really uninventive now but I think that is just because LZ really defined the sound of rock at the time And as always DASNE

ugh idek 3 feels low but not exactly 4 will round up ig

fire

....

It's my 3rd fav LedZep album after I and II. Features some of their heaviest guitar work and best bass playing. The songs are epic, progressive and long, but they also have this psychedelic feel to them. The textures and attention to detail here is incredible on most of the album. It's very long and does get a bit tiring to be honest. Do all the songs add something to the experience? Not really. It's still relatively consistent for its length and has some of their best songs on it.

Very long but pretty cool tunes.

Definitely the best Zeppelin. Gotta give it a 4.

No esta a la altura de los 4 primeros discos pero sigue siendo un gran album, es zeppelin...

#371 / 1089 Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ , probably not that often Not the best of Da Zeps, but a fine album anyway that has many a great moment, which says something about their material as a while IMO (I might have the vinyl in my collection, I know I have the previous, also as CD). This is getting to the point where they started to go too prog and polished for my taste. This is also too long of an album. While previous Houses of the Holy was also good, it too was going this way and it still bothers me to this day. I wanted, still want, to like their whole catalogue. I loved the explosive nature of the early band. When they get to their super musical, very contemplative part of the career, the intensity seems to vanish. I feel like they are one of the first mainstream artists who went what I call the "music for musicians" way. What I mean is music that has many intricate, music theory rule braking and/or super technical parts, which ruins the music's emotional weight, but if you've extendedly studied music theory you find it interesting and novel or whatever. To me it feels like an Yngvie Malmsteen's "more is more" kind of fuck you to the unscholarly peasants. While I know some theory and rules, like cycle of fifths and chromatic circle, I personally don't care for the most part and have always listened music by the seat of my pants and go atleast 95% by feel. Which is probably why heavy music is my thing, it carries a ton of emotion. Weak 4/5

4/5

Soooo good! Hadn't listened through to this one before, it's awesome! It's Robert Plants voice at its absolute peak. Songwriting is awesome, playing is awesome...it's awesome

i really wanna sit at a bar while listening to this on a jukebox

Good first half, amazing second half. Would be Zeppelin's Best just behind Led Zeppelin IV

Very diverse record! Love the drums and the riffs, some songs are veeery long for my modern music taste but I enjoyed most of it lots.

This Album was sixth Album from the English Rock Band released in 1975. This is an Album of varied musical styles including prog rock, blues rock, funk, soft rock, Rock’n’Roll, Country Rock, Orchestral Rock and their Staple Hard Rock. However unlike yesterday when I felt lost and many tracks sounded like they were from different bands, although the genre of some of the tracks differed they seem to have the similar identity. The obvious stand out track is Kashmir with its epic sounding baseline building tension, this somehow reminded me of some of the Epic sounding hip hop track in and around the turn of the century. There were other tracks which particularly caught my ear, surprisingly “In my Time of Dying” which is blue rock, a genre I don’t particularly get on with but I loved this track. If there is a complaint it would be that it is too long, lasting over 80 minutes, having said that I enjoy the sound of this band so at least it was a pleasant 80 minutes. I will definitely listen to this Album Again

Déjà écouté. Comme beaucoup de double albums, ça s'essouffle nettement sur la fin, mais le premier disque est peut-être bien ce que le trio Jimmy Page-John Paul Jones-John Bonham a fait de mieux. Robert Plant est clairement en dessous. Top : The Rover Flop : Boogie with Stu

Very typical led zeppelin but using a lighter sound. Ten years Gone is such a beautiful song and Kashmir is an all time classic. 4

Huge variety of styles and very well done....was very surprised

Woah this is way better than Led Zeppelin IV, has a much rawer and even funkier vibe to it which I appreciate and the long songs are great. Very impressed

Overall, very good! Interesting instrumentation, fun guitar solos, powerful and engaging vocals. Moments of genuine sonic iconicism. Enjoyable record. The 15 tracks felt like a lot. Also contributed to the long runtime of 1hr 22min. Yet, the record was cohesive making it easy to fall into the music and forget that individual songs were playing. 8/10

custard pie: muy rockero mal, pero tiene onda no me disgusta. no es algo que escucharía normalmente te rover: está la verdad que el copa, para ser rock me gusta che no me lo espere. in my time of dying: esta no me gustó tanto medio rara houses of the holy: siento que me motiva y me ceba pero a la misma vez me taladra trampled under foot:me gusta pero me taladra otra vez kashmir: tiene onda pero basta no puedo más in the light: solo beat no me gusto bron-yr-aur: emmm más instrumentales? down by te seaside: no me gustó ten years gone: me estaba copando pero después me la gue bajando night flight: arranca muy bien, decayó the wanton song: arranca DEMASIADO espectacular , me cebo mucho la verdad boogie with stu: me gustó mucho, medio rara la voz pero me copo black country woman: flojo sick again: meh en conclusión , me terminó doliendo la cabeza. a mí el rock es un género que me suele taladrar y con algunas canciones es no aguante, pero hay otra que me cebaron mucho, me guardé tres en playlist. hay un punto que el álbum se transforma más en country no está mal.

It doesn't need to be a double album, lets be honest. There's a few tracks here I'd cut: Bron-Y-Aur, Down by the Seaside, Boogie with Stu. In My Time of Dying could probably stand to have a minute or 2 trimmed off, as well. But there are some incredible moments here, and all of disc 1 is at least solid.

Первая половина збс, вторя ниоч

A good album, but it is definitly on the long side.

No había escuchado mucho de Led Zeppelin. Conocía algunas de las canciones, pero se nota porq es la banda que es . Genial

This was amazing. 4.5

This is a great fucking album.

Muito sólido, mas falta-lhe ali alguma coisa para ser um 5. Se calhar é só grande demais/pouco focado como álbum

Nunca tinha ouvido este álbum. Sólido mas não e o melhor deles.

Cracker, bit long. Always preferred I-IV but obviously a good album.

Buenos riffs 3

:D

If we could do half stars, I’d probably give it a 3.5, but it’s closer to a 4 than a 3. Kashmir is a banger. The other songs all kind of blended together to me, and the slightly grittier style of this album isn’t my fav when it comes to LZ.

(82/100)

Zep never really disappoint. Kashmir alone gets it over the line.

Physical Graffiti ain't my favorite Zeppelin record, but it's fuggin' ZEPP BRO. I'm a huge fan, and their influence on a lot of the modern hardcore and metal I'm into is impossible to miss. Such an ambitious, absorbing jam - sprawling in a way that could've easily collapsed under its own weight, devolving into a sweaty wank festival. Bouncing between styles without losing power or identity, it's an enthralling listen. Big and confident, with the chops to push beyond what a rock record was supposed to be. Even now, it hits me as ahead of its time. ALL HAIL!

The best rock band of all time? Your honor, I'd argue yes. (and please note that I have ZERO merit badges to back up my expertise in this genre.) Obscenely confident, supremely sexy, and pleadingly emotive - there's something undeniably physical about Robert Plant's vocal performance. The lyrics don't catch me on first listen, but honestly, they don't need to. The heavy wall of sound these dudes create is an extremely powerful experience that lets you really sink in an just groove. I don't need to know what's actually being said in order to be fully emersed in the strange mix of these guys are throwing at me. On a more critical note: After two full listens, I DID get the Led out and didn't want to go back for more for a while. But what a fun trip it was before my craving for a different flavor. Goddamned Legends.

Such a good album. The sound is great. Plant is at his peak. Riffs are awesome. Didn’t realize that a lot of tracks were leftovers from previous albums.

When I was younger my friend Scott had a garage with a basketball hoop and an 8 track player. I think the only 8 track they had was a dub of Physical Graffiti the went up to Down By The Seaside. We spent hours poorly playing HORSE and 21 and listening to Zeppelin. Nostalgia or not, this is a great album. At least up to Seaside.

It's Led Zeppelin

Never actually listened to this all the way through. Each track was great. Does feel a little bloated at times (Kashmir), like “ok, I get it…” I think I was just eager to hear what was next.

I waffled between a 4 and a 5 on this, from my memory I was gonna say 4 because it's a notch below 1,2 &4 and a little bloated....but then idk man I was really fucking vibing with this today so many great songs on here. But in the end it drug on a little long and in my heart of hearts I know 1,2&4 are substantially better and I'm just gonna have to say four stars.

Got it already

Not my favorite Zeppelin album — the music gets simple & two dimensional sometimes, and you can hear where later heavy metal bands bit off Zeppelin’s sound to make cheap knock off tunes. But there are some true gems here: In My Time of Dying; Braun-Yr-Aur; Houses of the Holy; Boogie with Stu; and Kashmir. It’s not their best, but it’s very good. A 4.

I don't really like Plant's singing, but the rest of the band played quite well. It's full of great guitar and drum playing as well as less conventional sounds and neat production tricks The arrangements are tasteful. I especially like when they stray away from rock and towards genres that you wouldn't expect from LZ. Side two is my favorite for that reason. I think this was their creative peak as a band The track run 7-8-9 is a highlight for me

Not really my thing but 100% see how good it is.

Tracks I love: In My Times of Dying, Kashmir,

Really sick grab bag from LZ. The final few tracks are a bit of a down note to end on but my dad endeared me to Boogie With Stu at a young age and that fondness continues into adulthood. The last two tracks probably could have been cut but they'd been a hot streak for too damn long. Favorite Tracks: Custard Pie, In My Time of Dying, Houses of the Holy, Down by the Seaside, Kashmir, Boogie With Stu

70! BABY

Not a huge fan of the Zepps but this has some of the songs I love the most!

Liked all the tracks. Has one of my favorite Led songs.

Very good instrumentals, definitely appreciate this for my first album of this experience

Definitely my vibe for sure loved the instrumental and the genre switched making an interesting listen mg experience. I rate it 4 instead of 5 simply because there was a couple songs that felt like filler and there is most likely something a bit better that scratches the itch I have

- Liked ‘Kashmir’, ‘Down By The Seaside’, ‘Bron-Yr-Aur’ - Very traditional chill rock, doesn’t stray too far from what makes it successful - Best played in quick succession, but each song is also possible to play solo and still be enjoyed, which is quite the feat. - Still find the vocals a bit tricky to get behind, but they’re so iconic that I manage

J’adore le son !

Lots of extended guitar riffs, which isn’t always my thing, but Kashmir is phenomenal and almost everything except Black Country Women works

Ahhh man. The old case of the double album that *just* overstays its welcome. Had this album been reduced to 11 or 12 tracks I think we’re on for an easy 5 but the last side is not up to scratch with the rest of the album. I still considered giving this a 5 because this is clearly zeppelin at the peak of their creative powers, and some of their very best stuff is on here, but knowing that Zep IV exists which is punchier and more concise kinda put me off.

Tons of classic riffs. I enjoyed listening to the whole album, although it was mostly academic vs. actually wanting to listen to it a bunch.

Very good album. First experience of Zeppelin and really enjoyed it, especially Bonham’s drumming. Proper classic rock. However, not too consistent.

Loved this

4.4

Ah yes, Physical Graffiti. Back when this came out my favorite bands were Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and this was one of my favorite Led Zeppelin records. It was fun listening to this again after who knows how long. "Kashmir" and "In the Light" were my favorite songs off this album then, and hey I still like them now. I can see how those tracks and some of the other stuff on here prepared me for the 20-minute-long prog extravaganzas that I was going to discover a year or so later, and some of the newer stuff I like now. So except for Robert Plant's voice starting to grate after a bit, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Probably won't listen to it again anytime soon, but: 4

Lots of good tracks on here. Diverse range of sounds from the band. Not as strong in the second half of the album. Favorites are The Rover and In the Light.

Great up to Kashmir. Should be a one disc album

I feel like their earlier albums are a bit tighter.

Not the best Zeppelin album but lots to enjoy, especially with side 2 of album one in the running for one of the best album sides of all time. A little indulgent towards the end though.

Been enjoying getting to know LZ more on this list and ready for more! Just quintessential LZ. Great opener, hard hitting and great depth and variety throughout all their songs. Tight, skilled, engaging and great groove and rhythm. Not sure what else to say, other than another great album (quite long tho!) but enjoyed it on in the background and just blends really nicely into each other and don’t even realise the length of some songs. Enjoyed and ready for more

Trampled Under Foot is the best Zepp song ever. I don't usually agree with Ryan on length, but this could be edited down to one LP to be perfect.

I really dig it but it’s a bit long.

Really solid album. songs 3-10. Boogie with Stu was also a banger. None of the songs were bad though. I feel like this album would have benefited from being a single LP record as opposed to a double LP record. still a good album though

Lät som Led Zeppelin.

Third very long album in a row, but the first one that didn’t feel exhausting. It’s a fifty year old album that feels fresh. The music is great. Not my top Led Zeppelin album but it’s solid

as someone who hasn't had the urge to listen to zeppelin for about 15 years, i'm shocked by how much i like this! all the blues-rock i've been given so far has been middling at best, but i'm reminded why these guys are the best of the genre - big, heavy, dead-eyed grooves, played by a fucking massive rhythm section will always do it for me. there's a sweetness and playfulness to disc 2 that caught me off guard as well, and from the peak of Kashmir through the four following track might be the record's best stretch. it's kinda dumb, and it's not all essential, but there's purpose behind the spread here. Physical Graffiti feels wandering, searching, imposing, a band who could pump this shit out in their sleep looking for various ways to go further. good stuff!

It’s a 4 star album that could be 5 if it wasn’t so long. Some great songs here, with the run from “Houses of the Holy” through “Night Fight” being the strongest. But you do get a bit tired by the end.

The first side of this is a stone cold 5/5. Dips for me in the second half, hence the 4. Double albums are rarely a good idea in my opinion.

Custard Pie 3.8 The Rover 4 In My Time of Dying 4.1 Houses of the Holy 4.3 Trampled Under Foot 4.2 Kashmir 4 In the Light 3.8 Bron-Yr-Aur 3.3 Down by the Seaside 3.5 Ten Years Gone 4 Night Flight 3.7 The Wanton Song 3.8 Boogie with Stu 3.5 Black Country Woman 3.3 Sick Again 3.6 Score: 3.793333333

A very good, innovative album. “Kashmir” really stands out. 8/10

Legendary band...surprisingly I'm not familiar with this whole record. I know a handful of the tracks. I must have stopped my Led Zep journey at Houses of the Holy. I enjoyed this a lot, though it was not the record I would have picked to represent this band. I loved a lot of the experimental stuff on Disc 2 but jeez there's just too much of that traditional blues for my taste. That said...what a band!

Didn’t finish disc 2 but good so far. Added kashmir to likes

It was pretty neat but kinda slow

Cohesive and solid album. Nice to hear the band having fun between songs

Had never really sat down to listen a LZ album before, it was quite an experience, really enjoyed the bass and vocals, but I'm not too fond of Jimmy Paige as a person, really good album tho

I don’t know how others will feel about this album but it’s kind of a banger imo. Kashmir is a really cool song, and I enjoyed The Rover and Trampled Under Foot. **of note, this is the first album I’ve listened to with nice headphones lol

Me dispongo a escuchar el segundo disco de mi vida de Led Zeppelin, con el poco entusiasta sabor de boca después del primero (Led Zeppelin I). He de decir que el entusiasmo no se ha desbordado esta vez, pero lo encuentro mucho más afín a mis gustos. Se me ha hecho difícil la casi hora y media que dura este disco doble, pero peores cosas progresivas me he tragado. Es verdad que aquí ya vemos una amalgama de estilos que no estaban en su primer álbum: rock and roll, progresivo y hasta folk. Por historia gustos personales, conecto más con los temas progresivos, y si no los tengo en un pedestal es probablemente porque no los escuche en mi adolescencia. Destaco "The Rover", "Kashmir", "In The Light" y "The Wanton Song".

Slightly uneven, but the well-known tracks are great and there are some hidden gems among the deep cuts. 4 stars.

Was very good but liked it less than I was expecting to. Think this was mostly due to the length, there weren't quite enough ideas to carry the runtime, cut it in half and there's a really good album I'd think. Still has a great sound and Kashmir is obviously great but I know for certain id stick 4 on over this.

Led Zeppelin IV is my favourite but this is a cracking listen. Kashmir is iconic, and I also enjoyed In My Time Of Dying. Would have been a much tighter album if the songs were shorter. They don't benefit from extended riffs or the hook repetitions. Not their worst, not their best.

Not my favorite LZ album or even of my top 5 but super solid nonetheless.

I’m a big Zeppelin fan, but as with every album, I try to be objective. Objectively, this is great. Zeppelin delivers quality blues-rock tracks from start to finish. My personal favourites here are Trampled Under Foot Kashmir, and The Wanton Song. Is it deserving of five stars, though? No. Zeppelin has better, and tighter albums than this. Still, I’m always happy to hear Bonzo bashing the drums.

Not typically the Led Zeppelin album I gravitate towards, and it’s been a minute since I listened all the way through. But it was fantastic.

Another great Led Zeppelin album. I only knew a couple songs, but I like the variation of sounds and genres. Kashmir is wild with those strings. The first half of the album really grabbed me but was weaker towards the end.

Dans un monde IDÉAL (which we clearly DON'T live in), j'aurais donné la note de 3,5. Le 1er disque est goated, gros classiques, got me in the zone. Le 2e disque commence un peu wacko, mais j'ai quand même fait de belles découvertes. Just 4 daddies playin' some music.

Great album but get the slide guitar out of it. 2nd half not close to the first 4.2

The first half of this album is amazing. However, after In The Light, the quality of the album takes a nosedive. Not really any great songs after that, apart from Ten Years Gone.

Þetta var nú bara solid þristur, þannig séð, fram að Kashmir. Með því lagi og eftir það fær þessi plata 4 stjörnur. Voru einhvern veginn bara öll frekar góð í hlustun eftir Kashmir.

so good bruh

One of the quintessential Led Zeppelin albums. It does have a great side A and iconic moments such as Kashmir. 9/10 [KEEP]

I think probably their best. Underlying grooves that make the songs work so well.

I know a handful of Zepplin songs, but never planned to listen to a straight Zepplin album--this was better than I anticipated, pretty enjoyable while working.

Features some great songs, but it's just too long for me. Still a solid 4.

Excellent, one of my favourites.

Kashmir. And the second disc awesome.

A great listen. Had elements interwoven throughout. Found Kashmire so deeply intriguing & almost mythical. Some songs, in terms of their lyrics, were not a wonderful listen or had some derivative misogynistic ideals in them. Overall deeply enjoyed this album & will listen again.

This generator is weird because through the first 28 albums, I’ve gotten 3 Led Zeppelin albums now. Through the first half, it’s really good. Some of that heavier hard rock Zeppelin sound. Seems like there’s some more evolved sound here than early Zeppelin. Stuff like Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir. Doesn’t seem like the very top best of Zeppelin, but definitely a lot of variety to their sound on this album that early Zeppelin didn’t have. Like a lot of double albums, it feels a little too long. But Ten Years Gone is on the back half and is one of the best songs on the album. Overall, really good. At its best a clear 5, but then not does feel to drag a little which might knock it to a 4. None of those last few songs feel essential to the album. Could’ve been a 5, but I’ll settle on a 4.

On my way to work this morning, I actually had the thought "Ooh, it's Friday, I hope I get a good album to listen to." And 1001 Albums Generator, you did not disappoint! I got into Zeppelin in middle school via their fourth album. In high school I got their debut and second album. It wasn't until college I got their third album and this one, and I associate both of them so much with a specific time and place. Can still smell the incense, lol. I put "Down By the Seaside" on our family beach mix and now it always reminds me of the beach. And also incense.

Didn't realize I knew a couple of these songs!

Houses of the Holy and this one are their peak for me, and I wish we had gotten a bit more of them in this mode (or these modes I guess, they are all over the place) before they get not as consistently good. But I should re-listen to Presence... So many great songs on this, the production is immaculate and so heavy, and it's lots of fun to hear them break out and try so many different styles. They are also all at the peak of their instrumental powers here. Great record.

Does this make me Tony Stark

I mean it’s led zeppelin There’s ups and downs in this record, sometimes I feel like it’s a masterpiece sometimes I feel like they are just overdoing it. Sometimes I think even they are lost in their songs. Great listen all around I’d say it was an album for a Friday it’s pretty deep to listen all in one day and take it in.

It's great but there too many songs and the songs are all too long. It's just too self indulgent and loses momentum which is why it doesn't get 5, but it's a sick album, just needs to trim the fat a bit

It’s Zeppelin, come on!

I mean, it was what it was. Some legendary songs, some that I will remember, some that I ll forget. Don't like them but album was undeniably great. 4.1

Песни неплохи чемто на Oasis похож

Almost 5 for Kashmir alone.

After only one full listen to this one I might sound a little bit basic and predictable, but the highlight and standout moment of the album for me is Kashmir with its driving riff and superb vocals. Plants vocals throughout the album are excellent, Pages guitar work is fantastic and as ever, Bonhams drumming is fantastic. The guy is the master at filling at just the right moments. The only downfall and the reason for my single listen is that the album is a tad long for my liking. Listening to the album took up most of my obsenely long commute of an hour and 40. I wonder if I'd be able to sit through the full album if I was to listen to it intently at home?

It's very good but the second half just isn't as strong as the first half. Sick Again ends the album on a high note musically, but "said you had dug me since you were thirteen" being sung by a man in his late 20's is highly questionable.

The type of music i imagine an american biker gang member would blast at home. There’s a constant presence of very juicy and assertive guitar, which is probably my favorite part of these songs. Also, I think anything from this album could find itself on the soundtrack of Dark Shadows. Very danceable. Or at least you could really vibe to it. There are also some longer tracks with a lot of drawn-out synth harmonies and a more psychedelic vibe. They feel like if you recorded when a band is just lazily jamming out at the end of a long practice session.

Would have been 5 stars but the second half was very meh. 8/10

4.5

4⭐️/5 02.04.2026

pretty long but its a really smooth listen. something you put on while you're working around the house, i bet it sounds great on wax. fav track - in my time of dying

Rock and fucking roll mansome great songs

Go big or go home, and b'ys, Led Zeppelin did NOT go home. While their blues influence shows up here as always, they added some experimental, bombastic sounds on top of it and it really brought their whole sound to a new level. A sonic journey unlike anything they had released previously.

Shows how little of a Zeppelin fan I am that I didn't even realize that "Houses of the Holy" wasn't even on their album of the same name. I've listened to them a lot, but they've never really been one of my favorite bands. Kind of a band I listened to a lot when my tastes were forming, but then I largely moved on. There are a bunch of excellent songs on this album. "The Rover", "HOTH", "Trampled Underfoot", "Kashmir", "Bron-Yr-Aur", "Ten Years Gone"... The rest of the album is good too, but I can mostly take it or leave it. Pretty solid overall with several really great songs.

I love Led Zeppelin, but this album is just a bit too long, some of the songs are 8+ minutes which is a bit too much for me. Musically and lyrically it is really good, my only negative about it is that it is too long.

They me in the first half, NGL. Second half ripped. Maybe a bad master at first?

Un disco atrevido y honesto. Me gusta como experimentaron en este disco con géneros, estilos y distintos instrumentos. Muestran una faceta musical más intima que hace este disco un poco más libre, menos narrativa y con poca continuidad, pero muy interesante.

this was an amazing album, a little too long especially in the end, but still really good.

Even when these guys are not great, they're still great. Is it on the long side? Sure. Are there some misses? Okay, yeah. But they still rock.

Realized I've not listened to this album too much, always have stuck to I and III for the most part. There's some really good tracks on here, I'll definitely be playing it again.

Don't listen

Pretty good. Call of duty song jump scare

An incredible conception of punchy bass, insanely delightful drums, groundbreaking guitarwork, and some fuckwit screaming WOAAAHH----- WOOOOO OAAAAHHHHHH OOOOOOOO!!!! over the top of it. That being said, this album is very very very good. The first disc on this thing is just unreal. Kashmir is probably one of Led Zeppelin's best songs, if not their best. Does that make this their best album as some people claim? No actually. I think this record is a bit too long for my liking, the second disc really doesn't do much for me that I haven't already heard before. This thing would be a masterpiece if they cut a lot of the fat off. I think this is my first non-five Zeppelin album. And I'm aware that this could get me lynched as this is the contrarians 'best' Zeppelin album. psst, Hot Dog is their best song.

So torn, perhaps the most front loaded album in history. But that front is such a masterpiece its hard not rounding up to a 10. Cut the second half and this would have been a 10 outright so I gotta round down for not sticking the landing. Second half isnt bad by any means. It just aint the first half y'know. 9/10

the guitar work on this album is noticeable and awesome. Music to be blasted loud in a trans-am. This is a long one. A couple of hits, and not many skips.

Good

The album is good, but way too long with mediocre songs in the end. Favourits: Kashmir, In The Light, The Rover

8/10 бля ну прикол

Bops. 4.

Bombastic and lush but often a bit too ling

Solidt album

Album #45 Led Zeppelin: Physical Graffiti Somehow never got around to listening to this one in full before. I’m often intimidated by double albums since a lot of them are just needlessly long (Outkast…), and I find myself just waiting for the good songs to wash up on shore from a sea of trash. I have, however, heard and enjoyed Led Zeppelin 1-4, and I do consider myself a fan of their music, though they would hardly rank amongst my most listened to artists. When I first started seriously getting into music, it was exclusively classic rock, so naturally Zeppelin were heavy in the rotation through their classic songs; I mean, what kind of guy hears Stairway to Heaven for the first time and doesn’t seek more by that band? But even though I’ve liked every album I’ve heard by them, with Led Zeppelin 4 potentially even being a 10 for me, I just never feel compelled to listen to Zeppelin. I think that it’s a pretty mood-dependent band for me, probably due to Robert Plant’s vocal style; sometimes his moaning and whining can give me a headache, other times it brings me to completion. It’s sort of a cliche at this point that if you were to make a supergroup of the best musicians from each instrument, you would wind up just reassembling Led Zeppelin, but enough has already been said about just how talented the band is. Physical Graffiti was an album I was already familiar with, as I’ve listened to the hits quite a bit (particularly Kashmir, which, even before this ranking, was already a top 3 Zeppelin song for me), but its length deterred me from ever listening to it in full. I sort of just assumed it would be some hits mixed in with mindless noodling and overly-dramatic self-falatio from Plant, but damn was I wrong. There is not a single bad or uninteresting song on this album, and it definitely doesn’t feel like it lasts for over an hour. Every song keeps you engaged and flows into the next one quite well. I do think that disc one outshines disc two, simply because every song on it is nigh on perfect, but the fact that disc two doesn’t even feel like a noticeable drop off is a testament in itself. I think the only reason I am not giving this one the full five is due to the fact that I sort of get lost in the album, even when I try to focus and pay attention to each song as it changes, I blink, and suddenly I’m 12 songs deep. Which isn’t even a bad thing since it means that the album is captivating, but combined with Plant’s vocal delivery, it sort of becomes hard for me to decipher what he’s saying and differentiate the songs at times. That is probably just a me issue though and definitely nit-picking, but if I even feel a bit of reluctance to give out the 5 star, I tend to play it safe. Best Tracks: Kashmir, Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot (What a 3-song run) Worst Track: Black Country Woman Score out of 10: 9.5

Sweet

It would have been a five as a single album, but they just couldn't resist...

Alright, starting off with Custard Pie. I really like this song and it is everything what Led Zeppelin is and does. The Rover starting has a great drum sequence by our legend, Bonzo, Plant's voice, for me, seems very soothing. It is a little tone down though, they could have gone overboard which would have been fun to listen. Nevertheless great song with a great rhythm. In My Times of Dying sounds like if Led Zeppelin had to cover an ACDC song somehow. A great, soothing start and shit's about to go down. You can sum up Led Zeppelin with that line and that is exactly why I love them so much. Ohmyjesus indeed, what a song, man. I literally had goose bumps. I love Led Zeppelin, god. Alrighty, Houses of the Holy is the next song and a good follow up. I feel like dancing. Trampled under the foot seems repetitive at times but the good kind, the one you want to keep listening to. Plant's vocals are completely raw and the rhythm is so good you can't stop listening. Kashmir starts playing and sweeps your feet away. Disc 2 is good with really great songs. The downs are really down and the ups are really up whereas Disc 1 consistently amazes you and ends on a high note. All in all, great album making you understand why Led Zeppelin is truly one of the best.

The final side is unnecessary. The first three sides are phenomenal.

I liked this better than Soundgarden. Chunky rock in places, experimental sounds in others. Definitely my preference for older rock.

I had forgotten how much weaker the second half of this one is compared to the first. It goes from their best record to nearly their worst, but In Through The Out Door exists, so PG is spared that indignity. Anyway, sides 1 and 2 are perfection. Side 3 is really terrible outside of 10 Years Gone. Side 4 is just ok. I'm tempted to slap a 3 on it but Kashmir alone makes it a 4

I'm pretty sure I've heard all of this album before, but I can't recall the last time I would have listened to it start-to-finish. Here's my thing with Led Zeppelin: A lot of my formative years were spent listening to classic rock radio in the late 80s through the 90s. And Led Zeppelin was such a consistent staple of those radio stations, that I just got tired of them. So I've been mostly on a pretty strict "No-Zep" diet for quite a while. In addition, as a guitarist, I love Jimmy Page as a riff-writer, but I hate his playing. He's very sloppy. And with something like "Bron-Yr-Aur" it's painfully obvious that a better guitarist would have practiced that more to eliminate all the clipped notes in it. His playing is frequently frustrating to listen to. So, this is fun to re-visit this album. But I don't think this one is their best.

Pretty good album. Not usually the biggest fan of long blues rock jamming sort of albums, but Led Zeppelin has always been an exception. It’s quite a long album, but luckily it is packed with good songs. Highlights on the first half are In My Time Of Dying, Trapled Under Foot, and of course Kashmir. Side C has Bron-Yr-Aur and Ten Years Gone as amazing standouts. But honestly, side D could have been left out. It’s the weakest side and nothing really comes close to the highs of the rest of the record. Still, pretty good album.

Not too bad

--Custard Pie...phat as...well, custard pie --The Rover...a little aimless --In My Time of Dying...Blind Willie Johnson. Don't generally care for 11 minute jams but everyone is nice 'n' tight here --Houses of the Holy...why wasn't this on Houses of the Holy? maybe because it's average --Trampled Under Foot...talkin' 'bout love! this grooves. JPJ shines here --Kashmir...classic --In the Light...LedZepp gets sci-fi. too long and lacks momentum --Bron-Yr-Aur...pleasant instrumental --Down by the Seaside...when this gets going it's good. I just wish it didn't take two minutes to get there --Ten Years Gone...a little cheesy --Night Flight...starts strong and stays strong --The Wanton Song...interplay between bass/guitar/drums is real fun here --Boogie with Stu...Ian Stewart and Ritchie Valens. do I hear a mandolin? and some pian-ee? good fun --Black Country Woman...nice 'n' funky --Sick Again...fun closer

4.5 Stars Awesome album...whenever I listen to a Zepplin record I almost always envision just how powerful their live shows must have been. bands certainly wrote "better" songs than them, but I'm not sure many bands, if any, sounded like they had more fun playing & signing than LZ. Favorite song: Ten Years Gone & In The Light

god this is so good, forgot how much i loved led zep. could genuinely be a 5 with a few more listens and more time to take it all in. re entering my led zep phase immediately

Čovek voli svoju mamu nema šta.

This was a hard album to review because I had more pleasant memories of this album than I originally thought. So despite being nostalgic for this album I think it’s not the complete perfection that is I-IV, but it’s so close to that level of quality that it deserves recognition for that. Really it’s just the side b is lacking. Side a is super iconic and all the parts of this album that are memorable and sadly the second half falls off a bit. Seriously it’s a stellar all time great rock album, it’s just not 1-4.
