Physical Graffiti

Awesome!

Great tracks on this one

It's a rocker! Here's the thing - I love rock and roll, but I don't really vibe with the blues. Even still, this album cannot be denied.

inherited vinyl (good quality)

This is top shelf rock. Funny thing about this album by the greatest rock band of all time. The first track sucks. But after that... We are off and the redemption is immediate with The Rover. In My Time of Dying is a slow start and then leaps into the tight little guitar spins and quick tempo interchanges. Drums are slammin. Eventually we wend our way to Kashmir which could very well be my favorite song by my favorite band. It's an anthem and I love the Tolkien imagery as well as the strings. Legendary stuff of rock. Disc 2 is off with a bang as In the Light hits us with the heavy guitars and the total optimism halfway through. This song brings hope. Bron Yr Ar takes me back to my early teenage years, eyes full of hope and trepidation. And we swing into the hazy lazy Down By the Riverside. Ten Years Gone reminds me of my dead best friend (we used to listen to Zeppelin all the time for years before he was swept away). The backs of so many cars. So many basements. Campfires. All the excellent nights. "Rivers always reach the sea".

I've been to more than a couple of weddings that have played Bron-Yr-Aur in advance of the ceremony which translates to 'Breasts of Gold.' I always wonder if the groom that chose that song becuase he thought it'd be cool to play a Led Zep his wedding or if the bride did because she thinks her boobs are seriously golden...? On a similiar subject 'Whole Lotta Love' is the worst song that LZ ever recorded. "Shake for me girl, I wanna be your backdoor man... way down inside you need ... gonna give you every inch of my love...' Sure, not as bad as 'Come on Eileen' but still icky. But whatevvs, Led Zeppelin is pretty fuckin' rad and this Physical Graffiti is proof. With the exception of three consecutive songs (In the Light, Bron-Yr-Aur and Down by the Seaside) this album kicks ass all the way thru. Some fans might describe this album with two words: 'Pidyn Aur' while others might say it's 'quite lovely' with a wink and a smile. What I wanna know is why don't they make music like this anymore?

There has never been another Led Zeppelin. I mean, obviously. Anyone trying to name their new band Led Zeppelin would be faced with copyright issues. And be laughed at. Though there have been two bands with the same name before. Apparently there was a British psychedelic group in the 60s named Nirvana. But words can't really explain how distinctive and unrepeatable Led Zeppelin were. They are the best rock band in history (you could disagree or dispute this, but you'd be wrong), and even on "Physical Graffiti," one of their lesser albums, they are beyond 5 stars.

I am less familiar with this Led Zeppelin album compared to their earlier albums but that is an oversight I plan to rectify. The four song progression from the bluesy slide guitar of In My Time of Dying, to the rock of Houses of the Holy, to the more funky sound of Trampled Under Foot, to the classic opening of Kashmir (even my 4 year old can’t help but bob her head along to this guitar riff) shows all that Led Zeppelin has to offer. Y’all know how I feel about Led Zeppelin 😉 and this album is no different.

una bocha de amor

I love the signature Led Zeppelin sound - hard rock with a blues influence, a lot of times tipping into heavy metal territory. "In My Time of Dying" is such a good example of it. I guess it's a blues number at its core but it's heavy, man. Those drums sound huge! The appeal for a lot of these songs for me is the way the band slips into a groove and stays there. The beat and rhythm are so important to their music. A lot of great songs here, including some real epic ones ("In My Time of Dying," "Kashmir," "In the Light," "Ten Years Gone") but I think my favorites are "Custard Pie," "Trampled Under Foot" and "The Wanton Song." Those three capture that rhythm and groove feeling I love about Led Zeppelin. And the riff on "The Wanton Song" is insane.

Another true great Zeppelin album. There's times where this one rambles and jams a bit, like "In My Time Of Dying" is a great song but it's 11 minutes and it almost feels like something you just kind of have to get through because after it is three incredible tracks in a row- "Houses of the Holy", "Trampled Under Foot", and "Kashmir". "Kashmir" is probably the highlight of the album. That riff is so perfectly Led Zeppelin. It's catchy, groovy, a little bit rough around the edges, and impressively cool at all times. I really love all the interstitial musical elements in this song, like that one random meter or feel change at around the 2:15 mark, those strings that come in between Robert Plant vocal phrases, the chamber brass parts.. it's just awesome. Gotta be a 5/5. It's not my favorite Zeppelin album, but it's really really good and these songs are too good.

i didn't know Robert Plant sounded like that. great fun.

Zep's equivalent of the White Album. Many of these songs feel like them at their most focused in their identity, being Led Zeppelin at their Led Zeppeliniest, but many others offer refreshing variety. This also has two of my absolute favorites from them: Kashmir and Ten Years Gone. Overall another classic from my former favorite band lol.

There are a lot of Gems here, Kashmir and In the Light really shine back to back for me. There is a hair of bloat, if they could have brought this down to like an hour it would have felt a lot better, but it still earns a strong spot in the 5.

Probably one of the greatest albums ever made. Can hear the Beatles and blues influence. Best musicians in the world too

Unreal

Easily their most underrated album

It's led zep. Kashmir is the standout track. Rest of the album is good, but Kashmir takes the cake.

Discazo de una de las mejores bandas de rock. Auténticas canciones setenteras guitarreras con excelente batería y voz inconfundible. Imprescindible

Excellent.

Ok holy fuck, I've slept on Zeppelin wayyy too long! I've listened to their first, thought it was meh and dismissed the rest. But wow, this album has blown me away. It is very consistent, fine as fuck rock! I think I might give it 5/5 simply because it proves me wrong about my opinion on Led Zeppelin! Ofc I wouldn't do that if the songs wouldn't back it up! Glad my journey through this book starts with this album!

Great guitar riffs, groovy

Led Zeppelin's sixth studio album, and their sixth hit. Do these guys not know how to miss? The album builds up with some just classic, amazing rock songs, until it gets to 'Kashmir,' which is just on a whole other level. But wait, there's more! That's only record number one, which ends on a fantastic note, and could have been the closer. But Led Zeppelin decided to grace us with another entire record where they proceed to flex for another thirty or so minutes. It's some of the best hard rock and roll you'll hear from a band still in its prime.

Going to be difficult. This is my desert island Led Zep album..so good.. but it has flaws ...and playyyy. A band at their peak though I'm aware that the recordings were made over a couple of of years. Bonham is the greatest rock drummer. It rocks it rolls.. You could easily make a 5 star single album out of this double but I still give it a 4.5 and round it up! So many highlights. Flaws...? No flaws its a 5.

zep is zep.

Probably too 3 Zep albums. So many happy memories listening to this.

absolute classic!

I wasn't a Led Zep fan during their heyday, Robert Plant's voice, but damn this is a good album. Faves: The Rover, In The Light, Bron-Yr-Aur

I can't believe I have never listened to this album before. This is a classic.

Zeppelini są świetni jak zwykle. Choć przyznam, że tego albumu nie słuchałem w całości. Bardzo solidny krążek, zarzucający nas bangerem za bangerem. Mi z kolei bardziej podobała się pierwsza część albumu. Jest dosyć spore zróżnicowanie w typach utworów. Riffy są catchy, wokal oczywiście kozacki. Niemniej jednak trzeba przyznać, że ciągnie to się trochę zbyt długo i myślę, że wyrzucenie kilku utworów poprawiłoby przyjemność z słuchania albumu.

Some argue this to be Zeppelin's best album given that it has all the great quality and it's double the size. The question of my favorite Zeppelin album is almost impossible to answer since it changes all the time. This one definitely rotates to and from the top. Their sixth album which they added previously recorded songs to eight current songs to make a double album. Recorded over a two year period where there were apparently significant contributions from all the band members, especially Bonham. These songs fall into a variety of musical styles: hard rock, Eastern-influenced, prog rock, funk, acoustic, a love ballad, soft rock and blues. The songs might jump around stylistically but there is a great flow to an overall outstanding whole album. Picking out song highlights here is almost as difficult your favorite Zeppelin album. Some of mine are: "The Rover" - a kick-ass intro and Page's guitar in the chorus, "In My Time of Dyning"- a bluesy number and Bonham's start-stop drumming, "Kashmir", "In The Light" - their prog rock song?, Plant's vocals and Page's guitar again in the chorus and "Ten Years Ago" - a ballad but I love how it changes tempo midway through. So much good on this album. It had been awhile and this was great to hear again.

Kashmir and In My Time of Dying are the best tracks. A classic.

I haven't always been a fan of Led Zeppelin, but I kind of jumped in when the box set came out in the early 90s. Now listening to their original albums, I am discovering some tracks that are new to me and the flow of the actual album rather than compilation order. I really loved this one from start to finish.

Yes!

Good, rounded Zep album with a definite stylistic shift

Top album showing the breadth of the band Cover art 5/5

One of my favorite bands in High School, still love this album and one of the Zeppelin albums that I still listen to. Perhaps since it hasn't gotten the airplay as some of the other albums. It's still great bluesy rock.

As good as I remembered. I love that big sound. A classic.

My favorite Zep album

I really like the opener Custard Pie - rocks, bluesy, rough and it’s my least favorite song on this double album. Great throughout, and hard to pick highlights. One of my favorites is how “Down by the Seaside” is such a tranquil tune that unexpectedly steps off the curb into an Alice in Wonderland rock jam and then finds its way back to the sidewalk. “Night Flight” is another favorite due to upbeat vibe. Easy 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I don't know if it was just because it was the easiest Led Zeppelin CD for me to access as a kid, but this has always been my favorite album from the band. Easy five blending rock, folk, blues, and early prog vibes. Love this!

Meus protegidinhos há tempo já kk

10/10 and not even the best Led Zeppelin album. How the hell do you even manage to fill an 80 minute album with all killer and no filler? "Kashmir" is a contender for my favorite song of all time, "In My Time of Dying" is not far behind, and I can't pick a single song that I dislike.

This is the one where they completely and utterly stretched out their enormous wings. After 5 albums in 4 years they had a little rest and then came back with this! It's got Kashmir on it for fucks sake!!

Classic!

Best double album of all time

it was good! thanks zeppy. liked kashmir

Always amazing

Rock, rock y rock Mucho guitarreo del bueno Quizás canciones demasiado largas

Love

Fuck yeah. Amazing at every turn. The muscianship is off the charts.

Gleich schon mal spannende sounds auf custard pie - JPJ auf der Orgel oder was das ist nimmt vorweg was er dann bei them crooked vultures bringen wird. the rover auch wieder geiler stampfiger bass, und RIFFS RIFFS RIFFS! Kreativer und einfallsreicher als frühere Alben. Ein Gitarren Show Case (Slide auf in my time of dying...) - überhaupt ein geiler track, voll vielseitig. Toll.

A truly classic!

Led Zep complexifie sa proposition tout en préservant son ardeur rock and roll ; des incursions funk et protométal s’ajoutent à la recette gagnante alliant psychédélique, blues et riffs rocks désarmants.

Can a double album be good enough to get 5 stars? You wouldn't think so. Jimmy Page begs to differ.

Kashmir that is it

Excelente!

4.5/5 just wow!

My favourite led zeppelin album at the moment, all the tracks on the first half are classics. The songwriting is just so good, and there are so many excellent memorable riffs. The second half of the album is a bit long and less exciting but the first half is good enough on its own to make this a 5

Another great album by Led Zep. A double album that doesn’t drop off at any point.

Quality

Great album. A few classics I recognized and a few I hadn’t heard.

I got this album several days ago and I'm just now getting around to listening to the ones I've gotten in the interim because this has been on repeat. Just incredible. Best track: Kashmir

Solid! Was listening to this on my last day at SRU with Raymond. Good music; good memories.

Enjoyed it class

The best Led Zeppelin album. Innovative and lively tracks all over. Absolutely great rock.

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!

F19 workout sessions w Brandon, Summer 2019 forever

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

Great album, loads of hits, still a bit sick of 70s rock, but zeppelin are the pinnacle. If they could just cut like 4-5 tracks and make this a single album it would have been perfect

Really good! I was a little Zeppelined out by the end but an enjoyable listen!

Double albums are hard for most artists to pull off, and Zeppelin is not immune. While there are so many amazing moments there are some duds here for me. All that said, it’s still a pretty good album with some iconic tracks.

8.5 / 10

Great album. Long songs but they didn’t feel over done. Kashmir’s riff is iconic and that opening line always gives me goosebumps.

It pains me to give Zeppelin less than a 5, but this has always been a double album that would have made an incredible single album. Too much of Disc 2 is just ok…rip offs of old blues tunes, etc.

this is sick. one thing this project has done is it's convinced me that Led Zeppelin are good, actually. groundbreaking, i know.

Good zep album for sure.

Led Zeppelin has always felt to me like an exclusive club; one that felt too overwhelming to join. But just after hearing this record, I really get it. They're awesome and the people that love them weren't lying about how great they sound. The guitar work is phenomenal, I think by the end of this list I'll definitely be a Led Zeppelin fan. Favourites: The Rover Trampled Under Foot The Wanton Song

Not the best Zep, but it's still classic Zep, so it's good

Not as good as the first 4 but still I mean Led Zeppelin it's all good better than most.

Oh no I accidentally put my physical graffiti review in the Led Zeppelin IV review! Good thing my sentiment is basically the same!

I was under some impression that this was the best Zeppelin. This project has SERIOUSLY disabused me of this notion. It’s too long. It is good. But no. Not a 5. II WAS a 5. And maybe I. But not this. And I know people love IV. But…. Nah. Not that either. See? This project is making me… not just a fan, but very opinionated. With reason. I HAVE listened to A LOT of Zeppelin. Not that I’m complaining. But yeah. Now I know. All I’m saying. 4 Boolean: True

Kompetente Bluesrockmusik aus der Hardrock Fabrik UK, ltd. Wenn ich Led Zeppelin höre habe ich immer gleichzeitig das Gefühl dass man sich weiter nichts wünschen kann, weil die Musik so komplett ist und das Gefühl dass irgendwas fehlt. Hier mit Doppelalbum natürlich auch noch alle Musik. Kompetente Kompetenz.

Amazing rockers. Great album.

Great album. Not the best not the worst. But let's be honest. Kashmir is the best song on the album.

"My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again" This album, while one of the weaker ones in the Led Zeppelin discography, never became stale or overly boring to listen to. Furthermore, it alos touts two of my favorites from the band, including Kashmir and Ten Years Gone. Both of which are S-class songs, fully deserving of their laurels. Despite all of this praise, the album did overstay its welcome. And although a long album in of itself isn't a detriment to its quality, at 1hr 20 mins, Physical Graffiti was diluted by lackluster songs, which detracts from the overall quality. Despite this, I can't justify lower than a... 🏢🏢🏢🏢

Very good album made even better for having Kashmir on it.

If there was ever an uneven double album that could have been a single album filled with absolute bangers, this is it.

Favourite of mine back in college. Page and Bonham are legends and know some of the songs like back of my hand. Easy 10/10

The bubblegum ice cream of Led Zep albums - neither is the best flavor on its own, but 2x good enough can make it the pick. At this point, after we've all heard every Led Zeppelin tune to exhaustion, if you ask me to put on a Zeppelin tune, more often than not I'll choose Ten Years Gone. It has a bit of everything we love these guys for, and would never be made today. Could use more Lord of the Rings, maybe. Also, I have it on good authority that if you're tripping balls and In The Light comes on, when the loud scary part drops, you might shit your pants.

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.

Good but not something I would play on repeat. I might have enjoyed it more if it had not been a double album. I added “Boogie for Stu” to my playlist.

⭐⭐⭐⭐+ Grymt album som framförallt startar starkt. Här finns några riktigt bra spår dock lite långt och en del spår på andra halvan som inte är lika starka. Vet att många tycker detta är Led Zeppelins bästa, själv tappar jag intresset en aning, säkert pågrund av längden. Plus för att jag uppfattar albumet lekfullt. Det blir en stark 4a. Bäst är The rover, In my time of dying, Kashmir, The wanton song, Boogie with Stu

Pretty good album 7.5 out of 10

i enjoyed this more than led zepplin 3. some tracks i already knew, but there also were some new standouts for me here (in my time of dying, boogie with stu). loved the drums on this. very rock n' roll.

Banger, ouvir led zeppelin faz me sempre sentir uma sex bomb

It's got some outstanding bangers on there, but as with many LPs of this length there's a couple where the qualitity dips, even if only a little. Would recommend, but not as an entry point for LZ.

If you Zeppelin you’ll love this too. Kashmir is the standout and the rest sound like Zeppelin. Which isn’t a bad thing.

Yes. Not my favorite LZ album but their sound never misses for me. Wish people still made music like this

One of the most famous double LPs, only just too long to become one CD. This is a riffing masterclass. Kashmir is, absolutely, the most famous one, but every riff there is iconic. But it's not as good as Houses of the Holy, or as relentless as In My Time of Dying. And that's ignoring that everyone else feels like they're at the top of their game. Plant is wailing away, JPJ's bass is prominent, Bonham is thrashing and pounding. I don't think Physical Graffiti is as good as some of their earlier work (Zoso and HotH: the album come to mind), but I think there is a vibe here of a band leaving it all on the table. And they sorta do… it's not their last good album, but it's certainly the last important one. Physical Graffiti feels like a big stomping blues album than a flat out rock album to me from the outset. Trampled Under Foot? Brilliant big dumb crunchy blues. But there's also slide blues. There's the breakdown in Kashmir that feels like it could be a Motown breakdown in another life. LP2 starts off more mellow, but side 3 ends with the very good Ten Years Gone, and by the flipside it just feels a bit more 60s instead. Either way, a great set of songs. I don't think it's a full 5, but definitely a very strong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well, this belongs here even just for Kashmir, but there are lots of great tracks on here. I'll stop just short of a 5, but def a hard 4/5.

This is the first time I've listened to this full album in at least 25 years. Looking at the cover, I tried to remember what year it was from, and was correct in that it was "late zeppelin" ('75). It's in that point where they've started making the music that interests them. You can tell that several tracks were heavily influenced by native British folk music, and by less conventional blues rock. And touches of influences they picked up in their world travels. It reminds me that I still don't really like "rock" music, but they truly made some of the most interesting and influential of it. It's at its best when they're experimenting the most. 8/10

Enjoyable after a cavalcade of mid to bad. It's not all great, and who honestly needs an album om 80+ minutes. Still slots in comfortably above most of of the albums on this list.

Major nostalgia on this one. I went deep as a stoner teen on this double-album, letting the 80 minutes wash over me regularly after school as I zoned out in bliss. I’m more discerning now. Although I remember every word and there are so many high highs here (hee), there are, it must be said, a couple of weaker tracks too, particularly on disc 2 (especially “Down By the Seaside”.) This album though is a total rocker, with some all-timers in “In My Time of Dyin” and of course “Kashmir.” Jimmie Page’s stupendous and creative guitar shines throughout. It’s a high 4/low 5.

Great rock album, its great for a workshop, repairing the vehicle or riding a motorcycle.

a good zeppelin album

I am probably in the minority of people that DONT think this is a 5 star album. Its REALLY close but its bloated. Again, probably unpopular opinions but In My Time of Dying, Kashmir and In the Light could use a couple of minutes being trimmed off. There are also a couple of ho hum tunes in here as well. That being said some of the Heavy Balloons best work is on here. Ten Years Gone and Bron-Yr-Aur are some of my favorites not just from Led but from any artist. 4 stars, this || close to being 5.

un clásico

Custard Pie 🌟

4.5/5

Every time I listed to Zeppelin it's like a breath of fresh sea air washing over me. Classic, incredible, thick, nostalgic.

Honky tonk rockin woman has seen into the new world to come

This is the album by Led Zeppelin that I am least familiar with. When I was younger I was obsessed with 1-4 ( 2 and 4 specifically) but just never really got around to this album. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Sonicly it might be the best Led Zeppelin has sounded in my opinion. Jimmy in particular seemed to find another level. Finally listening to this album is exactly why I stared this journey. Today I am great full for this list, let's see what tomorrow brings.

la primera parte del album es muy buena pero mientras mas se le agrega mas se va perdiendo la idea tampoco ayuda que escuche antes de este led zeppelin IV

Led Zep is always great. An easy four stars

An 82 minute album wasn’t what I was planning for this morning, but I enjoyed it! Favourite track: Down By The Seaside

The encyclopedia of guitar riffs (some stolen,some original)..and drum riffs and bass lines. Songs are long but the grooves are solid. I don't know if any vocalist/lyricist could match what this power trio laid down.

in my time of dying, and kashmir are my favorities

One of the better Zeppelin albums.

The A side was slightly underwhelming, although it ended well with Kashmir. Alternatively, I thought the B side was amazing, especially the three song stretch of Bron-Yr-Aur, Down by the Seaside and Ten Years Gone.

Not quite to 5, with a few dogs and dragging points, but overall a solid listen. For 82 minutes, there was a lot going on, a lot of gems and fun deep cuts I hadn't heard before. The question I always ask when listening to Led Zep (and The Beetles) is why does the drummer get as much props as they do. I mean it's solid drumming throughout, but for the amount of posthumous praise Bonham gets, is it totally earned? Vs all the peers of the day?

Yup rock and roll done by music scholars. Everything is so on Led Zeppelin is the best no matter how corny the take is. Not my favorite album of theirs but still so incredibly good. Favorite might by the wanton song.

I’ve listened to a good amount of Zeppelin in my lifetime, but I never really went through their full albums as I had a large box set of their tracks. So this was a first visit to the whole PG album for me. It was excellent. The find on this album for me was The River which was a great, great track. Meanwhile, I’ve always liked Houses of the Holy, Kashmir, and Trampled Under Foot. The rest of this was solid as well. They are just a great band. 4 stars.

I think there's more stuff going on here than the usual "blues played at higher tempo" of the other albums. There are still the usual suspects, but the songwriting is more intricate and interesting. Not as many "hits", just a solid and consistent album.

some good stuff in here. kashmir carried. trampled under foot was 3 minutes too long

im rating it 4 for now. I might come back and change it to 5.

Ambitious and sprawling, this is Led Zeppelin's clear second best album, after their untitled fourth album. So many ideas are brought to the table here. There are heavy rock stompers, mystic folk tunes, songs with long jammy sections, you name it. All of this performed by an expert band at the peak of their technical prowess. Also, this album includes the Symphonic Rock masterpiece "Kashmir", which I suspect may be solely responsible for rock bands starting to include a "token arabian song" on their releases. Key tracks: In My Time of Dying Trampled Under Foot Kashmir In the Light Down by the Seaside

John Paul Jones sine tangenttrakterier er så forbanna kult

Likte det her en del bedre enn de to forrige. Tidvis pompøst af. In to the lights er den beste låten deres.

I pretty much only know the hits when it comes to Led Zeppelin, so I think I'd only heard Kashmir before here. Not a lot to say really... It's great, Kashmir is an all-time song; though a few others on here I could do without. So not quite a 5 star, but I look forward to getting some of their other albums here.

Zseni borító, főleg szuper a bakeltitet huzogatni!

5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background Long and sprawling. Lots to love here, but parts of it drag on more than I like.

Leuk om te luisteren!

Who taught the British the blues?

heavy

Really nice!

Zeppelin is a big gap in my knowledge - this album definitely listens like 1 cohesive album + 1 album of misc, but it’s still so good

fraglos Kult

8/10, good vibes

God the middle of this album is so good. Everything after the interlude is better than everything before it

End of "in my time of dying" sound like sponhebob. Preddy good album. 1.5 h is excessive. And it has the pedophile song at the end. But i still liked it

Some say this is Zeppelins peak but I find some songs were just okay mostly the previous unreleased. They expanded their musical genre very nicely.

me guarde varias canciones porq me gustaron. poquito largo para mi gusto, pero rescato joyitas como rover, down by the seaside, boogie with stu, etc etc, muy buenas canciones para agregar a mis playlists.

Heel nice album, met Kasjmir als piek!

enkele bangers hier

Very good

very long, but a good listen! there was a little bit of pressure here as my mum really likes it, but i can't fault it either

Led Zeppelin doesn't have any "bad" albums, of course, and this one is great. But I also think it's the single Zeppelin album that gives in most consistently to some of their worst instincts. Songs too long because we like to jam instead of carefully write? Let's just make it a double album! Some songs not nearly as compelling as others? That's okay, it's a double album! I often deride double albums as containing too many "filler" tracks, and I certainly think that's the case here. A single album with "Custard Pie," "In My Time of Dying," "Houses of the Holy," "Kashmir," "Bron-Yr-Aur," and "Ten Years Gone" would be on just about anyone's shortlist for greatest album ever. The addition of the other nine tracks does NOT make it a stronger effort; it merely dilutes the overall greatness presented to us with decent, but largely unmemorable filler.

A lead zeppelin wouldn't even work. Fucking idiots

Friday, 24 July, 2026 Good album with some great songs. No need for a double album, however…

better than I thought it would be, added some of them to my favorites

I really enjoyed relistening to led zeppelin after not enjoying album in, and I liked the diverse music styles and bits they included, definitely listening to them more now

Good

Its not Zeppelin's best and its too long but its still Zeppelin.

I personally much prefer the first five Zeppelin albums, but this is still solid.

lololo piola

This could be a great rock album if you cut out the half that isn't, but in its defence, when you do look at the track list, it isn't always clear which you'd cut. Besides the bluesgrass piano one, that was a bit random.

Could be shorter but still great

I really enjoyed the boogie ahahah

The first 3 sides of the album are all really good, I do think they start to wane by the end of the album and unfortunately it does bring down what is otherwise an amazing album. Again my usual complaints with double albums is that they could be really strong single LPs which unfortunately is the case here again. Still a great album nonetheless

It's a classic album that I've been listening to since my teens and it's in my rotation. Its flaw is the same one all double LPs have: it's long and the second side loses steam.

To think that half of the songs on this were near throwaways from previous album sessions only speaks to how great these guys were. It’s obvious that Kashmir and Houses are the pillar songs holding this up, but other standouts for me also include Down By The Seaside, The Wanton Song and Boogie With Stu. The variety of styles here deserves to be recognized too. It just doesn’t quite hit me as hard as some of their earlier stuff.

In full disclosure, I love me some LED Zeppelin. Probably one of my fave bands of all time. So of course seeing one of their albums I get hyped. I over listened to it all back in the day so it’s nice to come back and revisit. Overall this is a solid album with some great songs (I’m looking at you Kashmir and Houses). Tough to compare this to some of their earlier albums and probably why I just can’t round up. I also would like to boogie with Stu. 4.5

I prefer Led Zeppelin albums that punch me in the face relentlessly with rock greatness for no more than 45 minutes. This feels a bit overstuffed to me and will be near the bottom of their albums on this list…at a 4*. lol. 3.75/5

good songs

Fire. Another great Led Zeppelin album. Trampled Under Foot sounds so similar to Long Train Runnin by The Doobie Brothers. Kashmir of course a classic. I also like Black Country Woman.

8/10 I really liked this at first, it ran out of steam in the last 30 minutes though. But I still liked a lot of these songs individually such as Kashmir.

Some excellent stuff on here but it's arguably just a bit too long.

Overall vibe A couple real good songs I thought Led Zeppelin did hard metal but had a pleasant surprise

Down by seaside Wanton song Boogie with Stu so far bangers

Was ok

Honestly pretty vibey I would say it’s a little aggressive for background music but I like it Currently 4/5

Its zeppelin man… I bet hearing this in the 70s was so cool!

I love Led Zeppelin, and some of my favourite songs of theirs are on this album, but it's just too damn long. It's an absolute scorcher of an eight- or nine-track album, spun out to fifteen. In My Time of Dying, Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir probably form the best run of tracks on any Led Zeppelin album. In My Time of Dying (that slide guitar!) and Trampled Under Foot (that clavinet!) are among my most played Led Zeppelin songs. I have a lot of time for Robert Plant's ecstatic wailing, though it's sometimes like being serenaded by a randy tomcat. Bron-Yr-Aur is a lovely singular gem in their catalogue. The rest is pretty disposable for me, which makes this album one I rarely listen through in full.

Although still of a high quality, I don’t think this album is as strong as their previous albums. Still some awesome guitar riffs though

7/10

One of the greats. Has some dull blues on it though...

bring back long songs

I’ve heard this before and I own it. I don’t know this album as well as their first five albums since my dad didn’t have this in his collection and I downloaded this within the past 10 years (they all got plenty of money and didn't starve from this). I’m not entirely sure this needed to be a double album, when you got a runtime of over an hour it can be excessive and needs some variety or binding theme or something to make it not drag on. There are some great songs on here and a little variety, and none of the songs are bad, but it does drag on to the point that I’m ready for it to be done before it’s done.

Trampled under foot is 10/10

Great songs, voice gets a bit tiresome sometimes.

enjoyed

It was pretty good tbh

They can’t keep getting away with it I liked this one more than Zeppelin III, I just think it’s a better sound for the bands talents. Love the variety on this one; even though the songs are on the long side there’s enough substance here where you don’t get bored. In My Time of Dying is probably my favorite song on here, love that guitar riff and the way it builds. The first half in general is pretty splendid. I think the extended runtime of most of these songs really gives you the chance to appreciate all the cool stuff behind the scenes I do think this album has the problem of just being a little bit too much Robert Plant; great in short spurts but after a full hour his voice does sorta get on your nerves. I don’t think Kashmir is a bad song but it’s a little overrated and I just think highlights that there’s isn’t a true “perfect” song like the other Zeppelin albums we’ve gotten Still though don’t get me wrong, this is a damn good album, easily a 9/10, but it’s Led Zeppelin so I’m judging a bit harsher. Emily will definitely make me listen to this one again and I don’t think I’ll complain at all

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

Ensimmäinen levy 10/10. Syksy

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

Too long and I’m too far behind to justify the intended relisten. Will go with initially gut feeling of a 4.

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

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

🎸🐫⚡️🥧🤘

Du Led qui fait du Zeppelin...

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 Playlist add: "Ten Years Gone"

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.

Det va jo på langt nær dårlig, og æ likte det for så vidt, men ikke godt nok til å synes at halvanna time va riktig lengde på albumet.

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.

The mighty Led Zeppelin, bestriding the land beneath it, and leaving kinfolk covering. Even on a sprawling double album such as this, every song showcases them at their artistic and technical best. It's known best for Kashmir, but there's a fine supporting cast too. Is nice.

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
