Led Zeppelin III

Considering this album is 55 years old, it really has stood the test of time. I was born 13 years after this was released and I think it still slaps in 2025. Cracking stuff

Really enjoyed listening to this! Immigrant Song is always awesome.

Hdp Altijd goed led Zeppelin

My first time listening to Led Zeppelin. Just expected more due to the hype around this band.

I do love Led Zeppelin but I think this album is carried by the immigrant song. Which probably carries it to a 3, but if I was to remove one LedZep album from The list it would be this one.

A couple of stand-out songs, but mostly 'meh'.

One of my fave LZ albums. Despite the fact that many don’t care for it, Tangerine, Immigrant Song, and Gallows Pole will always rock. Since I’ve Been Loving You may well be LZ’s best song.

I listened to Led Zeppelin in my high school years. My recollection of Led Zeppelin I through IV albums was that they were very good. I just reviewed Led Zeppelin I the other day and it was as good as I remembered. However, this album is not as good as I remember. Okay album.

Very classic album. Some great tracks.

Besides the intro, this is Led Zeppelin, the band known for their hard rock songs, without the hard rock. It’s good, but not much compared to their other material. I’d call it a successful venture into a more acoustic sound but one I’m not too crazy about.

I don't like Robert plants vioce.

Other than immigrant song, feels a bit too much like british guys trying to be southern blues/roots musicians. Actually surprised by how few songs I knew

Not my usual go to Zeppelin but listening to it today I don't know why. So good.

I liked that they went in a different direction here, but, not my cup of tea.

haha drum petal go brrrr

I was late to appreciate just how good Led Zeppelin was, and particularly Jimmy Page. I have not done a deep dive into much of their work past their top dozen hugely popular songs. I was largely unfamiliar with this album but absolutely loved it. High 4+.

It's not in me to give this album any less than the five stars it deserves. Adding it to my Tidal library.

Pleasantly suprised. It's not as annoying as I remember, still slightly annoying though.

Bonhams quality shines through. Classic Zeppelin all round

Great listen. It may not be as flash as their previous two album, or as epic as the few that follow it, but this record shows Led Zeppelin branching out and experimenting to very positive results. Don't go into this expecting banger after banger (even if there are a few of those here), this is a more subdued type of record that unfolds on repeat listens. Key tracks: Immigrant Song Friends Since I've Been Loving You Out on the Tiles

Generischer Rock. Langweilig.

Whenever I rate my album of the days, I always talk about how talented the singers must be to create the albums. Well, they’re lucky I’m not using this album as a point of comparison because next to this? I hate to say all the other albums are more disappointing than David Bowie’s cover of Across the Universe.

When giants walked the earth…. This is the stuff of legend!

This was fun, but it peaked early. Immigrant Song and Gallows Pole are always awesome but the rest of the album just felt kinda like a mess. I am a huge Zeppelin fan, but I don't love this album. Three stars.

Was a decent album for sure, and reminded me of my dad. I wouldn’t search it out on my own, but I’d definitely listen to it if it came on the radio. My favorite songs were “Gallows Pole”, and “That’s the Way”.

Zeppelin at their Folkie Best! A++++++++++++++++

Since I've Been Loving You - very viby, sick guitar solo Immigrant Song - classic

Good groove

Amazing album, first time listening to the whole and I think I need a few listens for it to grow on me.

Vibe

Time for father rock. I’m actually jacked up because this first song is one of the coolest rock songs to come out of that time. Lyrically, musically, vocally. “Goes hard” as the kids say. Friends??? Cool minor guitars. I don’t know man. How do you describe good music. I prefer describing garbage. I mean it’s going too long. It’s a good song that probably require drugs to enjoy minutes 2 through 4. Although the outro into the manic intro of the next track is cool. NICE. Some wicked blues riffing and excellent vocals as per. Good song again. It’s hard to wax poetic when I’d rather tear a strip off of something. Man this is best played blaring out of an old drunk guys expensive speakers in his 900,000 dollar house. I think. I have only imagined that scenario. Although I have heard drunk dads with whiskey enjoy the hell out of this song. Hey. I like it at work too. It gets a little wanky, but listen, if I was at a concert AND drunk. This would be a 5-bagger. As of now, it’s not. This one has a nice melody accompanied by muddy and driving guitars/drums. I like this one. Goes pretty hard. Meh. This one is pretty boring for being about the gallows. Filler track. Got to hit that 40 minutes. I guess. I know nothing about music, writing or the intersection where the two shall meet. Everybody run, Jimmy Page found bluegrass instruments. These next two songs get a combo review because they held into each other for me. Better. Still in weird Americana territory somehow, but this is cool at least. Have to remember this is almost 60 years old. Jesus. 9: this Better. Still in weird Americana territory somehow, but this is cool at least. Have to remember this is almost 60 years old. Jesus. This is OK. Honestly, not the greatest either, but remains enjoyable and at least a little hard rocking. Even though they copied Greta Van Fleet, these Lead fellows sure can play. This album is a strange one. I expected it to hit far harder. It still hit and the great songs are truly great but there was something missing that I may look for on their earlier efforts. 3 HIGHLIGHTS: Immigrant Song, Out on the Tiles,

Highlights: Immigrant song, Celebration Day, Since I've been loving you, Out on the tiles, Tangerine -Exactly what I'd expect from a Led Zeppelin album -Great guitar work -All of the songs have that Led Zeppelin feel to them -All the songs are good, but nothing really that interesting besides the highlights -Some parts sound weird because of the weird use of keyboards they do Rating:7/10

I've had the LP a long time, great record, "Since I've Been Loving You" one of my all-time faves.

Love this album. Possibly has the best opener of all time and also has my favorite Zeppelin song, Since I’ve been Loving You”

Liked Physical Graffiti better even though it was way too long. Maybe it's because I had two of these in a row but these all just sound like jam band songs and it gets so redundant for me. Since I’ve Been Loving You might be the best.

It's ok. Couple of songs you would know, but definitely not a stand out Zepplin album.

Yeah it was okay.

It's not my favourite Zeppelin album by any means, but it's still one of the best heavy rock / blues rock / folk rock albums ever made. Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Gallows Pole, Tangerine ... just so much really high quality stuff.

Great music from the Led.

Good, but not their best outside of Immigrant Song

A classic. Tangerine - perfect song to end the classic Almost Famous movie.

Rocky vibe, once again not really my preference

Fantastic, took me back to about '73 when I started listening to real music and carrying albums from The Other Record Shop and Greyfriars Market in my oxter ❤️🍌🍌

It’s good, not great. A few very good, memorable songs a few weird sonically experimental songs.

Fun album - a little lighter than the first two albums. I know, starting off with Immigrant Song isn't "lighter" but the album does slide into more laid back fare after that. Apparently folks don't like "Hats off to (Roy) Harper" but I think it's a fitting end to the album. Easy highest rating, but I really like Led Zeppelin too.

This album has one helluva opener. High energy kickoff. They show their blues chops with tunes like Gallows Pole.

This is epic stuff with a lot of variety.

Love Zep.

Very strong opener and then fun throughout

Such a great sound

Immigrant song is just heavy rock perfection. Its been a part of my life since I was a kid. Rest of the album doesnt quite get all the way up there. Except for their version of "The Maid Freed from the Gallows", Gallows Pole. Great.

Fabulous album, a true classic. Blues, rock, the works - it's a masterpiece.

I love Zeppelin, so of course I enjoy this album. But in comparison to the rest of their catalog, for me, this is in the bottom tier of Zeppelin albums alongside Presence and In Through the Out Door. Some standout tracks, and I like the dynamics of the album, but overall doesn't hold a candle to the behemoths of the Zeppelin catalog (namely II, IV, and Physical Graffiti)

Man, this album rips.

Might be my favorite Zeppelin album. Contains more acoustic tracks than pretty much any other Led Zep album, but I think they’re at their strongest here. Gallows Pole, Tangerine and Hats off to Roy Harper are all great songs.

Good: since I've been loving you. Boring: rest

Okay album. Not a fan of the vocals but the backing is great

Classic album. Love listening to Led Zeppelin

This is between a 3 and a 4 for me. It's got some huge hits on it, and then it's got some ok stuff. I think I might actually be losing my affinity for Robert Plant's wailing.

Led Zeppelin is a complicated figure in popular music. They lifted a LOT from black artists without due credit, and owe a lot to people who never saw just compensation, but at the same time I consider many songs of theirs my favorites. Most of those fall on LZ4 and Physical Graffiti, but LZ3 has some good stuff. Hell, I'd say LZ3 is almost better than LZ4 due to the more well-rounded nature of it. That "almost" comes from Immigrant Song. I could never hear the song again and it'd be too soon. I overplayed this song to hell and back, and I feel less than nothing hearing it now. Besides that, though, there's a lot of solid cuts. Celebration Day and Out on the Tiles are the two highlights I found, but pretty much everything that isn't Immigrant Song was a good time. Solid listen overall. If it had a Kashmir or a When The Levee Breaks, it might go even higher, but as is it's just an occasional runback.

Obsessed!

Good album with plenty of Zeppelin classics, Gallows Pole being the standout track.

10/10. What an utter masterpiece. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all time. A lot of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs are on this absolute STUNNER of an album!!! :)

Listened to this album my entire life. 50+ years later and it still crushes.

Absolutely love this! Is it their best album? Very debatable but it is fucking tremendous!

Zep-heads who put III at the bottom of their stack might reconsider. They push you off a cliff with the seminal viking invective opener, planting their flag at the very summit of heavy metal (evermore). Allowing a moment of recovery with a strangely appropriate middle-eastern groove that not only presages the mighty Kashmir but pulls the persian rug out from under you with its hippy-dippy lyric, which, in the hands of anyone but Robert Plant, would alienate any previous fans and drive away any future ones. You have now been soothed into acceptance for the rest of this utter masterpiece as you glide into one of the absolute gems of their back catalog, Celebration Day. Peace and love, my friends, peace and love. But don't get too comfortable, cause here comes the fiercest blues the band has ever done (or will ever do, fight me). I listened to Since I've been Lovin' You yesterday and I'm still trying to recovery. OH THE PAIN as if Bonham was hammering nails into your head. And it just gets better. Gallows Pole, Out on the TIles, Bron-Y-Aur, what a ride. The eclecticism here is pretty astounding, always with that incomparable rhythm section. Never again will we see (hear) such a thing. Frosting that cake with the weird Hat's Off to (Roy) Harper... this still leaves me wondering. It's one of those albums you can listen to a thousand times and still hear something new every time. Starting to think Zeppelin never made a bad record. I just lied, I've always thought that.

3/5

4/5. Probably the black sheep of Led Zeppelin self titled albums. It's surely the quietest and this change of pace can throw you off at first but these are some of the most down to earth in their whole discography. Sure, there some bangers on here but the rest of the songs hold merit as well. I can pick almost any song on here and would not skip it. Softer sounds do not mean less talented and Led Zeppelin proves it here. I will say, it is not perfect despite the good ones mainly because the last two songs kind of end the album on a bad note. Otherwise, another W in Zep's catalogue. Best Song: Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Gallows Pole

It's Led Zeppelin. Let it play the entire day. 5/5

Outstanding record and a big time curveball with all the acoustic songs. A big departure at the time from their first two records. Outstanding!

I had forgotten how strong an album this is. There's a little something for everyone. My only complaint is that "Immigrant Song" isn't long enough.

banger

Led Zeppelin leans more into the acoustic guitar on their third effort. This is probably their most folksy album, especially on the b side. It taps into a side of the band that works unexpectedly well, foiling the usually hard rock that Zep is best known for. Is this their best work? Certainly not, but it stands out as being their most memorable.

Can’t put into words at this moment why this isn’t a 5 for me but it isn’t. Maybe after hearing so much other music and having Led played so much throughout my time that maybe at this moment I feel a little burnt out. That being said a four and feeling done with a artist/band says something too.

It starts off with one of the most renowned songs in all of classic rock: Immigrant Song. Led Zeppelin doesn’t stop there moving on next song Friends which shows off the Middle Eastern influence and follows with Celebration Day, which was aptly named after their 2007 reunion concert. Since I’ve Been Loving You is is a Britain-meets-Clarksdale blues ode which may or may not have been ripped off. Side 2 with the medieval Gallows Pole and the ethereal song That’s the Way that looks at the last of innocence to racial bias. My personal favorite song on the album (hard to pick) is Tangerine which has the best 20-note solo of all time. In the annals of the Best Classic Rock albums of all time Led Zeppelin III is definitely sitting there right before Led Zeppelin IV .

Led Zeppelin III was always a bot of a funky album compared to I, II, IV, and Houses of the Holy. It doesn't quite flow the way the others do with it's rock, then acoustic switch back and forth. It's still an absolute gem. "Immigrant Song" might be the most well known Zepp song of all-time and is kinda of their theme song. I always sort of gravitated to "Gallows Pole", "Tangerine", and "That's the Way". Those are the meat of this album for me! I do love Bron-Y-Aur Stomp too. Ryder!!!! I could do without Hats off to Roy Harper though. Minor complaint for an otherwise amazing album. Hammer of the Gods!!!!

Gademit hvað þessi plata er góð. Rennur í æðum mér frá upphafi.

Immigrant Song slaps, the rest of the album cant quite reach it

First Song Good. Otherwise, Slow.

Not my favorite led Zeppelin album

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Fantastic album from a top tier band

I’ve always liked what I knew of Led Zeppelin but I’ve definitely been sleeping on them because I really loved this album. Their guitar work, particularly the acoustic, is very *them* and I think Robert Plant has one of my favorite voices in rock. Tangerine was a standout for me on this

I’ve liked the song Immigrant Song since the girl with the dragon tattoo movie which does a cool cover of it. We woke to this album on the day that we were supposed to go to Iceland where ironically, the song was written. Great composition but not the best of Led Zeppelin

We started our Labor Day Friday with “immigrant song” , which we recently learned was written about the band’s trip to Iceland. It proved a cruel irony though, as we had made the difficult decision to forego our flights that evening to Reykjavik due to logistical issues. So it was either a sign that we should send it, or the 1001 album gods taunting us. As for the rest of the album, I can’t help but think it doesn’t bring the heat like some of the other Led Zepplin offerings outside of immigrant song. Regardless it’s still a great listen.

Pretty solid. I liked the acoustic guitar. Vocals are not my favorite. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp was my favorite song

One of my least Favourite of them but only because i really dont like immigrant song, The rest is amazing

This was very good.

Gema

Led Zeppelins first four albums are exceptional and if you ask someone which one is their favorite there's no wrong answer. This is an album everyone should listen to.

Not the best Zeppelin album. Not sure why it's on here when there are several other Zep records that are significantly better.

I gave it a 3.8 round to 4 stars. Let's start out with the two all time classic songs, Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You. Two absolute bangers in the crazy rocking Norse Myth song and a slow driving bluesy classic. The rest of the album has more folk and Celtic influenced songs. Overall its different than LZ 1,2 & 4, but that can be a good thing if you want something different. Definitely should be in my regular rotation.

I always feel bad for this album, sandwiched between 1, 2, and IV. It's still really damn good Zeppelin.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AH!

Another excellent album. Might consider this one slightly more "folksy" than the earlier ones.

Banger and a half

I associated Zeppelin with drug-addled burnouts of my highschool days until I was nearly out of college, and "got" Zeppelin in a new way. At that point John Bonham had been dead ten years or more and I was able to sort through the discography at my will. I came to discover I the heavy blues of the first two albums kind of bore me. I prefer III, Houses of The Holy, Physical Graffiti, and Presence. Three comes at you with more interesting and varied rhythms, and the entire band performs so well, and so well together. I particularly like "Out On The Tiles" - "Gallows Pole" - Tangerine." That's a great run.

The tightest of all the Zep albums, in my opinion. No filler whatsoever. Nothing but solid tunes from front to back. Know every note.

The voice annoys

Immigrant song is great, everything after is good but overrated. 3.5

Led Zeppelin III was not as commercially or critically successful as the band first two releases, but it would have been almost impossible to be more successful than the first two. The album was highly anticipated, which could explain some of the critical reception. Some of the negative feedback to III contributed to the band's reclusive, anti-media posture. The band explored a more acoustic-based sound on this album, like in "Gallows Pole" and "That's the Way." These songs show the band's ability to expand the range of influences incorporated in their music, as they would continue to do for the rest of their career.

I love them 😍 I can’t say anything bad about them😍

A fantastic album, never understood why this was considered an inferior album to the first five.

It's a surprise to me, but I'm into this album. I like the acoustic sound and folksy feel. It's like a fast-moving current that appears calm at the top but unsettled underneath.

Starts off as well as any LZ album. Some great moments throughout but does not hit as many high points throughout. It sort of feels like elements they would expand on later - or reprises of what they had already done. But the riffs when they appear are u deniable.

Immigrant Song is just iconic! Very nice album.

Love it

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sometimes i cannot believe thet Led Zeppelin is a real band, because how does anyone make music like this?? Great album! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

不是那么Metal

Although I think "Led Zeppelin IV" is better album, this one doesn't really lack anything. In 1970 it was definitely great. Now still is. 4.5/5.

Best album of the 60+ I have listened to so far. More of this, please 4.5

A great album with some true bangers and a little filler. Page's guitar playing and JPJ's bass work is simply superb throughout. Since I've Been Loving You has to be one of the heaviest non-metal song ever. Zep sounds like they are having fun writing/recording music at this point.

I've had this one for a while. It's one of the weaker Led Zeppelin records for me! It feels meandering and self-indulgent in way too many places.

I've not listened to this album much previously. Heard it was a bit "folky" but I would say that. 4 stars for Immigrant Song alone

Excellent. Yes. Also I did fail my Genetik exam.

Led Zeppelin always sound fantastic. I just wish their songs didn't sound quite so much like they know that.

ha vo dem album im chopf dass sich uf wales zruggzoge hend und mega viel akustischi songs druf sind. und dasis am wenigste glost han vode erste vier zeppelin albe. immigrant song icooonic huere geil churz to the point geils riff plant schreit. friends cute a celebration day hani huere freud gad. bonham und JPJ afoch so guet. plant au afoch so en geile sänger.

Fantastic album

Crazy how much I liked Physical graffiti and how annoying I found this

C'è stato qualche momento che mi ha lasciato interdetto ma per il resto è solido

Even bad Led Zeppelin is great

Led Zeppelin are classic for a reason! This is the kind of music we listen to around the house anyway -- I enjoyed this album. :)

This was pretty good. The acoustic songs were better than the super heavy ones.

I like "That's the Way" and "Immigrant Song" (obvi).

First listen Saved 7/10 Top track: Since I've Been Loving You

Культовый альбом. Ни добавить ни прибавить

\"Immigrant Song\" might be the best album opener ever. This remains a timeless classic for good reason. A complete banger!

Strong start that the rest of the album fails to live up to.

The tide has turned on this record and thank goodness for that. No longer considered Led Zeppelin's worst album, 'Led Zeppelin III' is a welcome foreshadow into the diversity of sound the band would explore later on. Simply put, if you don't vibe with this record, then maybe you don't vibe with a crucial element of the band, which is their total embrace and celebration of English/Celtic folk and regional music, particularly from the Middle East and North Africa. Jimmy Page's ability to take his guitar virtuosity, Robert Plant's soaring vocals, and John Bonham's sheer power as a drummer is Led Zeppelin's musical innovation. But no disrespect to John Paul Jones, who was responsible for many of their arrangements and is a masterful multi-instrumentalist. Certainly on this album, you hear some wonderful mandolin lines. So if you don't care for all that, then you're missing what makes Led Zeppelin special tbh. Eighth grade seems to be the time when the geekiest music nerds I know let the Led out, myself included. This was my favourite Led Zeppelin record growing up; it certainly brought me the most pleasure. No outrageously long wankfests ("Since I've Been Loving You" is the closest thing and it's my least favourite track), no dumb songs about sex and women, no drum solos, no 'Lord of the Rings' references. Honestly, you can point to this collection of songs as upholding all that makes Led Zeppelin unique without needing to apologize or side-step anything. "Immigrant Song" is the song that normies would know but with good reason because it absolutely whips ass. Remember what I said about Led Zeppelin's musical innovation? Well, this song captures all of that in miniature. Even though the rest of the record isn't like this at all, it doesn't mean that Led Zeppelin avoids their 'heavy' sound altogether. Songs like "Friends" and "Gallows Pole" show they can let the hammer drop even with acoustic instruments. "Celebration Day" has an intoxicating thick rubber ball bouncing slide guitar that feels natural alongside their other face-melters from 'Led Zeppelin I' and 'Led Zeppelin II.' I used to think that "Out on the Tiles" was forgettable, but I love opening few seconds where the guitar descends step by step and the drums march like it's a parade on storm. All of this then bleeds into the chorus, easily one of the album's happier moments, second to the chorus of "Celebration Day" in which Robert Plant literally sings about how happy he is. Of course, the best part of the record would be the acoustic songs. "Tangerine" and "That's the Way" beautifully captures innocence and wistfulness in a way that's reminiscent of the final days of summer, when the hot August sun is flat and renders everything in a dappled orange glow leaving you to wish this feeling could go on forever. I know "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is about Robert Plant's dog, but to me, it contains some of the very best lyrics about the pure bliss you feel in romantic love: "caught you smilin' at me/that's the way it should be." Is there really a better feeling than noticing your partner, the love of your life, your soulmate, beaming as they make eyes at you? In the throes of love, aren't you just begging for opportunities to bring that person up so you can say their name, getting to the point where you're just saying it anyway? ("As I walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name"). I know it's about a dog! I'll resist the temptation to armchair-psychoanalyze Robert Plant on how he was able to produce such a tender song about a Merle that's fit for a square-dance but not about any human woman. Maybe Led Zeppelin would sound happier ('Houses of the Holy') or more sonically diverse ('Physical Graffiti'). And maybe they would refine their strengths, distill their sound even further, and create their greatest artistic statement ('Led Zeppelin IV'). But in 'Led Zeppelin III,' they proved they were not going to be your average incurious brain-dead blues-based riff-o-rama rock band. If that's too much for you to handle, then I don't know what to tell you. Listen to REO Speedwagon, I guess. Iconic album art. A

It's probably an unpopular opinion, but to me this is the best Led Zeppelin album by a wide margin. There's so much depth and variation to the music here. The band that took heavy metal to the mainstream here demonstrates what else they could do. What's a better environment for a metal band (given that hell isn't an actual option) than a cottage in the middle of nowhere with no electricity or running water? That setting influenced a blend of heavy rock, acoustic blues, and other styles. Many panned this album upon its release, as too confusing and varied, and it never quite recovered to reach the celebrated heights of the other self titled releases. While later Led Zeppelin work owes a lot to these experiments and would come to be celebrated, 'Led Zeppelin III' remains a hidden gem, with only the opening track, 'Immigrant Song' (rightfully) loved. But for me, the entire thing is brilliant and engaging, and still my favorite.

Beauty! I’m so glad there was still some Zeppelin left in the tank this far into my journey. Immigrant Song alone makes this an instant 5 star album. They bring the heat, every time.

Ok

#308. I could probably just say the same thing for all the Zeppelin albums on here. They're all fantastic, and there's not really any part of any of them that is bad or boring. Also, Tangerine is one of my favorite songs of theirs. That bass line usually get stuck in my head for a while after I listen to it. You know you're doing it right when you've got a guitarist like Page, and the bass is the part that sticks out. 5/5: perfect *this is the thirty first album I purchased from this list Song added to playlist: Tangerine I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book.

Pure quality

Gillade förra skivan på listan väldigt mycket. Den här börjar också riktigt bra. Gillar flera låtar Immigrant Song och Gallows Pole är skönt driv i. Tycker den förra skivan var bättre men den här är också mycket bra.

Helt habilt. Immigration song är snorbra även thats the way. Resten är ok, hyfsat samma, kan inte riktigt särskilja låtarna. Men i grund skön rock.

”Led Zeppelin” och ”IV” tycker jag är något bättre då de har en lite högre högstanivå, men även denna är riktigt bra rakt igenom.

Classic zeppelin sound, almost every track is notable, definitely an essential listen.

The least overplayed and so the most fresh to listen to of Led Zeppelin's first 4 albums was always my favorite growing up. You get the big riffy rockers (Immigrant Song) and the blues guitar/vocal workouts (Since I've been Loving You), but the acoustic folk driven stuff on the second half is the best, from the driving mandolin on Gallows Pole to the tender 12-string psychedelia of Tangerine, jangly stoned dream That's the Way, and traditional Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. But it's not actually as great as I remember it being not having listened all the way through in a few years. They take this combination of sounds a lot further on Houses of the Holy where it fits the peaks of arena rock glory.

I love Led Zeppelin and this album is very nice but because I only really like 3 of the songs from it (the rest are also good but they're not 5-star worthy), I am giving this whole thing a 4, as the best songs are really good and the other ones are nice when they're just playing in the background.

Great, guitars are crazy.

Good album. Change of style...more folky and enjoyable

This is the beautiful thing about this app. I knew imigrant song but never heard all the other songs and they were just amazing. I look forward to hearing way more. I love the blues sound then others were just a jam. Loved it all!!

Is it cheap to give every Zeppelin album a 5? Maybe, but to me they are all really great and have been listening to them for all my life. Even if this is weaker album in their catalogue it's still what I want outta them.

The first half was really good. But it lost its magic in the next half. "Immigrant Song" will always be my favourite off this album. That was my first Led Zeppelin song. The last track was a rubbish conclusion. 4 stars for "Self Titled III"

Not their best but come on, it's Led Zeppelin.

I've heard it before. The guitar and bass performances are great. I don't think Bonham was as good here as on the 1st or 4th albums. But Robert Plant's vocals just don't match a lot of the musical style here. Only a couple of good songs, otherwise a mediocre effort.

Well, I found a few interesting nuggets in there. Overall, it was some fine Zepp - which I did not know very well other than Immigrant Song.

I might be holding Led Zeppelin to a higher standard because I was prepared to give this a three star rating compared to albums I and IV. But then I looked back at the other three star reviews I doled out and have to knock this up one. Easy listening acoustic Zep. Foreshadowing Plant's much later work with Krauss?

OK, listening to full albums rather than the overplayed selections of my youth, I'm coming to appreciate them more. I'm probably more a 3.5, but not quite ready to push this up to 4 stars.

I'm sure fans of their first two albums must have said "WTF?" after listening to this for the first time. While it's not their one of their best and none of the songs are very well known other than "Immigrant Song", their departure from hardcore guitar into blues and folk on this album really demonstrates their range and talent as musicians. A few years ago Katie and I were traveling through Wales, and we went a little out of our way to go to Bron-Yr-Aur cottage, where they wrote a lot of the songs on III and IV. Was hoping to at least get a picture, but we abandoned ship when I saw that you had to go up a steep gravel path off the main road to get there...it looked like someone's driveway. And apparently the current owners aren't fond of Zep fans making a pilgrimage to their property...not worth the hassle.

Starts great. And then it ends, fine?

tad boring, this one

The underrated champ! This is where the band transformed from amazing rock band to amazing at every genre. Half of this album is experimental rock songs and the other half is experimental folk. The combination is amazing and although I prefer the first half both are really well done. The opening is iconic being Immigrant Song which is one of the bands most popular. For me the albums peak is at Since I've Been Loving You. It's perfect from it's infectious guitar rift to Bonham's legendary drumming and maybe Robert Plant's best vocal performance. The ending of the album is one of the most hated Zeppelin songs and I understand why. Personally it's fine and doesn't ruin the album but does leave a bad last impression. Although it isn't everyone's cup of tea, this album is still amazing and a great stepping stone to get to Zeppelin's best album. Favorite songs: Immigrant Song, Friends, Since I've Been Loving You, Out On The Tiles, Gallows Pole, Tangerine

Some songs I liked on the album: Out on the Tiles, Tangerine, That’s the Way

Other than immigrant song this album is a snoozer.

Immigrant song - absolute cracker. Undoubtedly the album starts off with its best song. The riff and drive of the song is brilliant. Everyone has heard it. This is what people think when they think zeppelin. Friends, celebration days and since ive been loving you are belters as well. Since ive been loving you is another top tune. 7 minutes of really good stuff. The finger picking in Gallows pole reminds me of a old folksong type tune. Tangerine. Its a real grower. I like it. Theres a good mix of electric driven songs and acoustics/strings. More towards the latter id say. Not something most people would think of when they think zeppelin. This album is a grower. I listened to it a few times. Loved it in the end.

Akustischer als gedacht. Viele Lieder kannte ich noch nicht.

perhaps this list's biggest problem is the number of repeats there are when there are still so many amazing and artists (especially from africa, Asia and latin America) that are totally unrepresented. this is a pretty good album, but when it's the fifth led zeppelin album on the list and (in my opinion) markedly not as good as the others, it feels like a waste of a spot that could have gone to a band like Amanaz or Yellow Magic Orchestra

Immigrant Song is obviously really good Since I've Been Loving you is ok Everything else is like blandly fine but completely unmemorable idk why people think this album is so great

Tangerine was good. High 3.

A really good album, but the weakest of the first four released by the band. I love Gallows Pole and Tangerine and I like Since I've Been Loving you a lot. I can go either way on the Immigrant Song. From any other band this would probably be a 5 but the rest of their early work is so good, I just can't put this one in that same category.

Wanted to give this a 5 for “Since I’ve Been Loving You” alone (what an incredible performance by the entire band!) but the rest of the album makes this a high 4. Some of the 30s style blues songs were interesting and “The Immigrant Song” is a fun opener but the rest were just not that memorable.

Big Zeppelin fan, but this has been my least favorite so far. 3-3.5/5

Magnificent!

wow josh kiszka sound great here- [someone whispers frantically at me from offstage] what? stole it? oh.

Really the only song that gets much exposure off this album is Immigrant Song, but it's an interesting album and I'd say I prefer it to II. 4.5/5

Some of this (e.g. the last track) was really quite different to what I expect from Led Zeppelin but I still enjoyed it - perhaps not as much as some of the later stuff though.

AAAaaaaaaaAAAAA

Not as good as I or II but still an easy 5 stars.

I've always found that my favorite Zeppelin album is the one I'm currently listening to/listened to most recently.

Not as good as their other album we listened to but still great. 4.5

very good love led zeppelin

Not their best, but Immigrant Song is crushing

Banger

Classic Zep

nedd to say something? masterpiece

An another Leddy and a banger. How does he keep doing it??! anyway was good not as good as the other one but good. 8/10.

One of the best albums ever made. Love it

Have always been partial to this album. Has a strong point of view, albeit one that was heavily influenced by American musicians. Still holds up and goes.

Love it!

Yes

Just some excellent classic rock.

1001 Albums Day 6 Another one I find it a bit difficult being objective about, since it's a part of my childhood. Trying to be objective, this album certain has a couple of iconic Led Zep songs, starting off with probably their best opener; Immigrant Song, and further along there's Since I've Been Loving You and Tangerine. The rest of the album are decent, hazy, psych rock deep cuts, decent, but not necessarily some I'll return to all that often. Gallows Pole is a fun reinterpretation of a folk song. That's The Way is a beautiful song about something queer, can't really tell if it's about a gay man or a trans woman, or not queer at all, and just about conservative's fear of the feminization of the hippie movement. And I think that's sort of the point of it, it's a classic, "whatever it means to you" song. But all that being said, there is something about this album that doesn't really excite me. Don't get me wrong it's good, really good, but that's about it, it isn't really exceptional. And a part of me wonders if that is because I have grown accustomed to all Prog albums being concept albums, especially albums of this ilk, era and genre. Though, one of my favourite albums of all time Blackwater Park, is a Prog Metal record that's not a concept album, so I don't know if that holds water. Though, a part of me really is saddened that this is just a collection of songs, no more. In my opinion, probably the second best Led Zeppelin album, (tied with Led Zeppelin II and just behind Led Zeppelin I) but I guess we'll see as this album challenge goes along. Favs: Immigrant Song, Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, That's The Way Least favs: Hats Off To (Roy) Harper 80/100

III? That's what I'm talking about! Such an underrated album full of songs that deepen their lore. This album is about everything from dogs, darkly comedic folkloric tales, Lord of the Rings shit, friendship, and dripping with the influence of their 18th century cottage environment. LZ needed a break from blistering electric bangers, and if they were to stay around for the longhaul, they needed to showcase more depth. Not without their aptitude for electricity, however, they came away with some all-time bangers such as Immigrant Song, Tangerine, & Celebration Day. Honestly if the heavy rock fans only got Immigrant Song out of this album, and the rest was exclusively acoustic medieval folk with mandolins & lutes, could they still even complain? That song is insane, one of the highest-impact heavy rock songs ever made.

Ooh, now this should be interesting. As I've have said before, I don't possess a proper LED Zeppelin album, though I have several compilations. So ther were some new ones to me on here. For a general overview it amazes me just how versatile they were as a band. From the more progressive 'Immigrant Song' to the full blues of 'Since I've Been Loving You' and the folk or roots music of 'Gallows Pole' they move between genres with consummate ease. Even the tracks I hadn't heard previously fell on the ears like old friends. Incidentally, one of these is 'Hats Off To Harper', and if this collection does not include at least one album from the man who was such an influence on bands like LED Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but include artists like Beyonce, it will invalidate the whole concept of this 1001 albums thing. I think you know by now how many stars 🌟 I'm giving this. 10.

It’s a high 4 star. A bit more variety and exploration of styles than the other Zep albums, and without the iconic stand out tracks that have lasted the test of time. ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’, ‘Out on the Tiles’ and ‘Tangerine’ are the highlights for me.

Led Zepp's legacy is gargantuan, they are loved by people of all ages. Their body of work is eyed with envy by multitudes of artists. I never got into them (should I admit to that?) This album was a severely average, I don't mind 'Immigration Song' its not their best, but listenable. The rest? It was a yawnfest and I couldn't wait for the album to end. However, at the end, I quite liked the vocal tremelo effect on 'Hats off to Roy Harper' but that was about it. A 1 star poor effort.

Kanske världens mest överskattade band.

My favourite Led Zep album hands down. Just every track is great. Friends is awesome. Since I Been Loving You is epic. Out on the Tiles has one (or three?) of Page's best ever riffs and enjoyable time signature which bounces about. The acoustic side is glorious. Tangerine and Bron-Yr-aur in particular.

I've heard a lot of fans knock this album for being "Immigrant Song and a bunch of boring acoustic stuff". Rubbish. Although not quite bearing the "classic" status of I, II, or IV, this album is arguably the best in terms of raw songwriting. And while there are fewer distinctive riffs on the electric guitar and bass than usual (thus lacking one of the key elements of Led Zeppelin music), the actual instrumental skill is possibly the most consistently impressive, especially from Jimmy Page. I also think this album showcases Robert Plant's most impressive vocals on any single track, with the stunning semi-epic Since I've Been Loving You. In that song, Plant's rock scream is the perfect balance between his early otherworldly youthfulness and his later manly husk. Other songs, like Out On The Tiles, Gallows Pole, Immigrant Song, and Celebration Day further showcase this vocal. Then of course we have the iconic stadium-shaker Immigrant Song, with its heavy, octave-based riff and foreboding chord progression. Friends is most notable for its odd, horror-esque string melodies, juxtaposing the kid-friendly lyrics. Tangerine is arguably Led Zeppelin's best early ballad (giving Going To California and Thank You a run for their money), containing the rare vocal self-harmonising and a pretty acoustic guitar pattern. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is a solid jam, with slightly odd mixing that half-buries the vocals – but I'll give it a pass because it's insanely catchy. Hats Off To (Roy) Harper is really the only stinker on the album. It's a fiesta of terrible echoey vocal/guitar effects with little substance and no actual reference to Harper. I suspect most of the hate towards Led Zep III comes from this single track, because pretty much everything else is pure fire. 5/5 Key tracks: Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Out On The Tiles, Tangerine, That's The Way, Gallows Pole, Friends, Celebration Day, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Quite the ride,the second half of the album far worse than the first half. Vocals get quite annoying at times, probably it's just me. Good instrumentals sounds like a good album to chill on. Celebration Day is my personal favourite of this album.

Not their best, but gorgeous nonetheless.

Yo quiero ver lo que me vayan a decir cuando vean este rating

9/10

While this album starts off well, it falls apart slowly but steadily as the album goes on. Overall it was still a good album, but not as good as II

This was mediocre

this shit was playing in the ramen shop no cap

So, II is my "favorite" Led Zeppelin album, but this is also a band as a whole that I'm quite content never hearing again. I don't mind blue-influenced rock, and they were definitely wearing it on their sleeve, but they're like the Deftones in that any intricacies in the songwriting that could be appreciated by my dumb brain are blown away by some fan, unprompted, going "OH THEY'RE HTE FUCKING BEST DOOD" (no I'm not fixing that typo). Should I let someone else's opinion dwindle mine? No. Except when it goes beyond playing something ad nauseum. Much like tube TVs had a percentage of static coming directly from the background radiation of the universe, Americans have a not-insignificant play of Led Zeppelin in their collective conscience. ... Right. This was about a single album. It's fine.

Immigrant Song is a banger of an opener, but this one just never lives up to the previous two. Nice to see them experimenting a little, the blues influence is still present, but they seem to be leaning on it with less weight. A couple slower tunes here (almost acoustic). All in all a little lackluster for the boys, compared to their previous two.

Ei lainkaan hassumpi albumi. Parit klassikot ja muita passeleita.

The thing about listening to any Led Zeppelin album is that it makes me want to listen to even more Led Zeppelin albums.

Good album. This album just keeps on giving & it's probably my favourite of their self titled releases. I think they hit a great balance here between folk and rock & it slaps so much. Best Track: Since I've Been Loving You Worst Track: Hats Off To (Roy) Harper

Best Song: Friends Worst Song: Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Kills me to say the Welsh one is the worst song on the album but it's true

It gets 4 stars simply for Immigrant Song, one of the best songs ever. The rest is just so-so bluesy rock.

Folkier than I expected

One of their best, high 4s so giving it a 5.

Not my favorite album by them.

5. No doubt about it. From the first song's scream to the scream of the last song. Everything is perfect in this album.

I would like to go back and give Electric Ladyland a 5

The length of “Since I’ve been loving you” is the exact amount of time it takes to get from my ex gf’s house to my house, a fact I learned at 4 in the morning in high school after sneaking out

beautiful and i love the cover

Immigrant song is a classic, the rest fell pretty flat for me

my god this is incredible

Awesome

It's crazy that a British band is able to absolutely nail so many forms of Americana. This album covers blues, rock, folk, and a little bluegrass, and it does them all flawlessly. There are so many singles on this album. But they also work together to produce a nice flow for the album that keeps you engaged the whole time.

Great album. It was a nearly perfect blend of folk, rock, country, and energy that I didn't know existed. I'd never really listened to Led Zeppelin before, mostly because I assumed they were more heavy metal/screamo. I had heard "Going to California" before and loved the song, but knew it wasn't really reflective of the band as a whole, but now that I've listened to an album all the way through it actually hits a lot of the same enjoyments for me. My favorite song from this album was definitely "That's the Way," which in my mind is a song about a summer romance between closeted teens and it's so sweet and sad. The album was closer to a 4.5 for me, but there were a few banjo riffs that took me out of the album's immersion a bit, but overall I was incredibly pleasantly surprised by Led Zeppelin.

5.0

This album would be nothing without Immigrant Song.

Not sure I'd have this Led Zeppelin album on this list, but I presume there will be others.

It becomes a matter of whether the Zeppelin album gets that extra star to qualify as one of the greats, because it will always be at least a 4.

Tangerine has always been one of my favorite songs but for some reason I’ve always neglected this album - top to bottom so so good. I wish I could go back and give their debut album a 4. Other favorites include (but not limited to) out on the tiles, gallows pole, and that’s the way

B+ Immigrant Song 5 Friends 5 Celebration Day 3 Since I've Been Loving You 5 Out On The Tiles 3 Gallows Pole 3 Tangerine 4 That's The Way 3 Bron-Y-Aur Stomp 4 Hats Off To (Roy) Harper 3 This used to be my favorite Zep album. How naive I was. Ha! Alabaster! Call me an Alabastard, more like. Since I've Been Loving You remains my all-time favorite Zep song, however.

Top

Classic from a long time ago. Spreads across a lot of different styles. Recommended

Since I’ve Been Loving You leading into Out On the Tiles is one of the all time one-two punches in recorded music history.

Awesome for music yet not their best.

Underwhelming, slightly annoying maybe. 68/100

Led Zeppelin III It wasn’t until I got a bit older that I started to appreciate Led Zeppelin, and over the last year or so I have really got into them, particularly Jan and Feb this year when I listened to them A LOT. Their first four albums are truly excellent. LZIII is an interesting one though, a kind of a transition between first 2 more straight ahead rock albums and LZIV’s more mystical, hobbity and instrumentally diverse sound. Ramble On’s acoustic folkiness from LZII seems to be a stepping off point for a lot of what’s on here: Friends, and then the 2nd side, with Gallow’s Pole, Tangerine, That’s the Way, Bron-y-Aur Stomp and Hats Off to Roy Harper. Outside of those, Immigrant Song is an absolute classic, and Celebration Day is just fantastic, the bass in particular is awesome, but I love the slide too. I’m a bit ambivalent on Since I’ve Been Loving You, on the one hand I like the general atmosphere and some of the guitar is great, but it does stray into plodding mindless blues rock a little too much for me. The drumming in Out on the Tiles is superb, which makes sense with the writing credits, it may not be a top tier LZ rocker, but it’s real grower for me. I do love the slightly loose feel compared to I and II, even if there isn’t as much immediacy as those two albums, but in Immigrant Song, Celebration Day and Gallow’s Pole it has 3 of their best songs as well as some great songs like Bron-y-Aur Stomp. I like that they did try and move away from the sound they had established, even if the synthesis of heavy rock and mystical fairies and folk music is probably better realised on IV. As good as it is it is probably a notch below I, II & IV, so in reality a very high 4, but definitely verging on 5. As they are such a great and influential band I’ll judge them to a higher standard and go 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love Led Zep

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought, considering I groaned when I saw it generated yesterday morning. Immigrant Song is a high point. Unfortunately, it's at the very beginning of the album, which may have been a critical error because it's all downhill from there. I liked a few other songs, so this is probably closer to a 3.5, but I just can't bring myself to rate it a 4 when I didn't feel that strongly about it.

another decent but uninspiring album from led zep. this is our third one in three weeks and they just all sound like the same boring blues rock after a while. nostalgia carries this band so hard and I have very little of that for them. that said, immigrant song is a five-star song on a three-star album. that song fuckin slaps. favorites: immigrant song, since i've been loving you

Led Zep never really did it for me. Sure they rock and are one of the preeminent bands of our time, but man they are just so bluesy. In a take or leave it situation, I would leave it. This was fine all things considered.

was nice

Classic. Duh

This is a banger

Highlights: Immigrant Song, Tangerine

In the grand scheme of this list so far this deserves a 5. Compared to all of the other Zeppelin albums, this might be one of my favorites because it stylistically feels more folk and contry inspired.

It just not my style

I love Immigrant Song (and it makes me think of Rathergood Viking Kittens more than Marvel's Thor) but no other song made me pause to look at what was playing.

I, II, & IV are my favorites of the LZ catalog. Why doesn't III resonate as much? Is it all those mandolins? It's a classic, no doubt, just a different flavor.

Ei Led Zeppelinin parasta, tosin tykkäsin hiukan loppupäästä joka oli enemmän country ja bluegrasstyyppistä. Parhaat: Immigrant Song, That's The Way

It doesn't reach the same highs as some of the other Led Zeppelin albums on this list, but it's still consistently very good. Of course Immigrant Song is a classic, and Since I've Been Loving You is another standout. I also love their cover the Yardbirds' Tangerine.

Ok there's a couple of great songs on here, 'Immigrant Song' obviously, and 'Since I've Been Loving You' was a good time too. Outside of that they just seem to lose the plot, especially towards the end. When they're just going acoustic the songs are just big balls of nothing, doesn't evoke anything from me. I've struggled to get into Led Zep for the longest time, and the re-listens this challenge has made me do hasn't changed my mind in the slightest.

Overall enjoyable but had few standout features

Not one of my favorite zeppelin albums but still pretty good.

Honestly this album isnt really my vibe I think theres maybe one or two songs I enjoyed for their slower pace.

Will be coming back to this one

Not sure how far I’ll get, but we’ll give this a try! I’m glad the first album was a band I was familiar with and kind of liked! While I really only know a few of their songs, LZ’s reputation as some of the greatest rockers of all time precedes them. So it was a weird surprise to find aside from a few exceptions, this album mainly featured folk songs rather than hard rock. At the time, the reception upon release was mixed and I can sort of see why. While I’d say this isn’t a bad album by any means, it’s just kind weird and nothing stands with the exception of the incredible “Immigrant Song” which was famously featured in Thor: Ragnarok. Wouldn’t mind re-listening to this, I use don’t have much of a desire to re-listen to it. 6/10

my favourite LZ album

One of the best groups for Blues Rock. Only a few radio-play songs here, but that does not diminish its appeal. Great balance of ebb and flow energy, and what a Stomp! I’ll round up.

Great range of styles, sounds, and energy. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is one of my favorites.

Led Zeppelin is incredible and Robert Plant's voice is one of a kind. This is an album I continue to come back to year after year.

Classic. One of my favorite Zep albums.

Boring Rock with no outstanding Features

Classic. Perfect.

I think led zeppelin are very good I think this because I think the guitar sounded very nice I liked the songs and how it sounded

Eh.. this was a bad Zeppelin album. The start of the album is fantastic with Immigrant song, but the rest of the songs are just meh if not very underwhelming.

Greta Van Feet has a cover band?!

A continuation of the deviation starting with LZII. It’s good, a lot of great tracks but it’s running theme of acoustic and pedal guitars just makes it feel a little too rustic all these years later. Since I been loving you.

I want to put the rock and roll emoji here. That is all

Gotta say, Led Zeppelin III as quite the great album. I had heard the intro to Immigrant Song many times in the past but i never knew that song was by these guys and I like the song quite a bit more now due to hearing it's other parts. The other songs on the album were great too all using their guitar work to their fullest potential. The vocals also were really good even if it is something you hear a lot from early metal albums. Some of the songs did get a bit annoying for occasionally overusing the guitars in ways that didn't sound super good but those parts never detracted from the album too much and because of that, its still great. Best Song: Tangerine Worst Song: Hats off To (Roy) Harper

Second half dropped the ball

Solid album and i'd probably put it at 4.5

altro album da categoria "e che je voi di?". so' i Led Zeppelin.

Fighissimo

C’è stato qualche momento che mi ha lasciato interdetto ma per il resto è solido

Overrated. Only immigrant song and since I've been loving you are worth it. Definitely the worst from Led Zeppelin I-IV

If a Led Zeppelin.

I had never sat down to listen to this album, but somehow I knew all the songs. It's what you would expect heavy rock mixed with the blues.

I liked the start and then it fell off (drink). Favourite track: Gallows Pole.

Absolute legend. Incredible for 1970.

Every day is a great day to listen to Led Zeppelin. It makes my Friday just that much sweeter to know I got this album.

Outside of a few songs I thought it was kinda boring

now this is *exactly* what i was expecting

i liked it but i also got tired of it .

Yeah whatever it's fine.

My least favourite out of the four self-titled albums but my no means a bad one The folk-ier tracks were all great and actually help this album stand out from the other four by adding a bit of variety to the mix Also, Immigrant Song still sounds as epic as it was when I first heard it and deserves to remain as of Zep’s most popular tunes Favourite tracks: Immigrant Song, Since I’ve Been Loving You, Gallows Pole, Tangerine

Classic rock is classic.

Fucking so good I love Led Zeppelin. Previous to this I considered IV my favorite but now it might be III.

First two songs are best, followed by a lot of underwhelming typical Zeppelin. Screechy Plant vocals.

While this album is good, I do not think it is among the best of Led Zeppelin. Bron-y-aur stomp goes hard.

Timeless classic!!!! Cannot even start describing how special this piece is for me

Love this album. Don’t think I’ve actually listened to it from start to finish. It’s Better than I expected. There were like 1-2 songs that I wanted to skip, but other than that a pretty clean album. Great start with immigrant song.

My first exposure to an actual Led Zeppelin album was... a little underwhelming. Obviously Immigrant Song is the standout, but nothing else on the album really follows it, and it comes off as a mid blues-rock album.

Led Zeppelin is often hit or miss for me. While there are some Zeppelin songs that I absolutely love, and this album has a couple of them, I’ll never listen to it straight through again. Besides their fourth album, I think I’d prefer to listen to a compilation of their hits. Am I allowed to say that??

Immigrant Song is a favorite of mine. They just go so hard with that driving beat. The blues influence is heavy here, at times soaked in some fine acid, and always blowing out those speakers. I can see why they're such a big influence on everyone. The screaming is a bit much after a while. Definitely have to be partaking in some chemical enhancers to really go on this trip 😂

It's good. I like the psychedelic inspiration it clearly drew from.

LED Zeppelin 3 gehört für mich nicht zu den besten Alben der Supergruppe. Und? Diese Aussage hat tatsächlich keine große Bedeutung. Es bleibt trotzdem ein Meisterwerk. Sie sind einfach Pioniere der Rockmusik.

more folky and acoustic than their previous 2 albums. still some blues and rock on here also.

I love Led Zeppelin, and I get they’re a rock band, but when they do a song that puts the roll in “rock and roll” like Since I’ve Been Loving You and Tangerine on this album, it just comes together perfectly

Eh. Kinda too chaotic for me. I could see how the guitar would be super cool and neat, but the guys voice irks me

Not my favourite Zeppelin record but still a fantastic album top to bottom. Plant especially seems really dialled in here. I also feel like there is that feeling on this record that it is a stepping stone to something even greater, like gathering themselves up before taking the next big plunge....

Starts off strong with Immigrant song but can never get back to those highs. Since I've Been Loving You is another great cut. Folk rock is not exactly what I want from this band, and I've never been a fan of Robert Plant's vocals. The last three tracks are really dragging this down a lot, especially the last one. Why is it mixed like that? Hats Off to (Roy) Harper is a big reason why I can't rate this higher than a 3.

The end is very folk and definitely drags a little but still a very good record the beginning is extremely high energy and very hard rock

high 3/5, it gives me extra interest in listening to more led zeppelin albums

Pretty decent actually! Guitar sounds great. Very long songs but I do not mind it. 3.5/4!

Tangerine wow

own

A strong start with Immigrant Song, but it doesn’t maintain that energy. It actually transitions to a much more acoustic heavy, almost folk rock. The lyrics are mostly pretty mediocre, but the singing itself is still powerful. An enjoyable experience
