The immigrant song slaps
Rock, 1970. This is not a Led Zeppelin's masterpiece like I or IV, but it's definitely one of their best projects and it contains also one of their biggest hits "Immigrant Song". Great record.
I'm not much of a Led Zep fan but this really worked for me.
some good solid rock
I haven't really listened to a full album by Zeppelin (aside from the 2 I already had on this list) in a while so I'm going by memory a bit. This is a continuation of Zeppelin improving. I think the first album is pretty "meh" but the second was a bit better. There's some absolutely great songs here, including one of myvall time favorites from the band: That's The Way. Not to say that the rockers like Immigrant Song and Out on The Tiles aren't great, because they are. I like this album a lot. The the next 2 albums are peak Zeppelin to me, but this one is damn good.
Led Zeppelin
More experimental in their sounds and a bit of a departure but some cool stuff. Surprised how much acoustic guitar from Jimmy is on this album. Still shreds.
A-A-AAAAA-A, A-A-AAAAA-A Aa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-yeah-yeah aA-hAA-aA-hAA-haA-hAaa-yeah-yeah
A-A-AAAAA-A, A-A-AAAAA-A Aa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-yeah-yeah aA-hAA-aA-hAA-haA-hAaa-yeah-yeah 4/1001
was vibin with it until I got to the last song
This album is known for bringing out the lighter and more whimsical side of Led Zeppelin. I know I spent many hours in my youth listening to the acoustic oriented songs on what used to be called side 2. But Immigrant Song hits as hard as anything in the Led Zep canon, and Since I’ve Been Loving You still thrills me with its peaks and valleys, the full band hitting crescendo after crescendo and Jimmy Page taking that solo at what feels like breakneck speed. Such fun. Sandwiched between the releases that gave us Whole Lotta Love and Stairway, this album may seem overlooked. But it’s a real gem.
Probably the zeppelin album I like most
I prefer IV but this has some Great songs, the Classic "Immigrant Song" and "Gallows Pole" are both good songs. I also like the nod to another English Genius "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper.
I’ll confess to never having been to keen on Zep’s bluesier cuts. To my surprise however, this album demonstrates a versatility and nuance that I thought beyond this band. Side 2 of this album in particular really won me round. The folky stuff is really quite outstanding - sometimes understated and atmospheric before really indulging in some grandiose elements. Thoroughly enjoyed this, though Plant’s voice begins to grate after a while.
It opens with Immigrant Song, which has to be one of the greatest openers ever. After that it's great, but veers into turgid 12 string folk stomps a little too often to be brilliant.
This album is hygge. It is a cozy blanket with a caramel cappuccino around a camp fire.
I know this album is a classic but it just doesn't resonate with me. Yes, Immigrant Song is awesome, Tangerine is a great song, and the album is very technically sound... but I just didn't care by the end.
Said before, I’m not a big Led Zep fan, but… No denying how great Immigrant Song is with its charging rhythm and howls. And I really like the variety of folky, bluesy, and 70’s metal guitar. So that said, probably my favorite Led Zep record if I had to pick one.
Immigrant Song and Tangerine are great. The rest of the album is good but not my favorite Zeppelin.
Amazing band. A few misses on this album but that hardly taints it.
Terrific piece of music. But maybe it's just the nostalgia talking. Remembering putting the record on the turntable, turning it on, wiping the dust off, putting the needle on the record, (and somehow still getting static noises)... but the anticipation of hearing the rush from the first song.
Enjoyable to really get an album that you know what you're going to get going in. This has more varied pacing, but excels with rock, blues and folks. Was really impressed by Since I've Been Loving You... haven't had much exposure to that and it is stellar. Tangerine and Immigrant Song are the clear other favorites. Very enjoyable.
Sort of recognized some of the songs and sound of the vocalist. Fun listen, really enjoyed it.
Great album that features the 12 string heavily, even a bit of banjo that I’ve never picked up on before. Puts me in a trance like a deep zen pill.
Solo por cómo empieza ya merece la pena ser escuchado. Hay tantas cosas interesantes en este disco del año 1970 que a veces cuesta pensar en lo poco que han evolucionado otros músicos a partir de inspirarse en estos grupos. "Immigrant song", "Gallows pole" o "Tangerine".
great album, zepellin is really innovative
Always considered this one to be the weakest of the four self-titled albums. It still has the absolute bangers that are "Immigrant Song", "Tangerine" and "Since I've Been Loving You" and none of the songs are bad, so that really just speaks on how good the other self-titled albums are. These guys are truly legends in the citrus rock genre. Lemons, tangerines.. should have done a song about limes as well to complete the holy trifecta.
Classic
Fint og varierende album, men mangler de skikkelig gode sangen
Fave Zep track is on this album, the almighty Since I've Been Loving You. A few other cool tracks, but enough filler tracks to knock the whole package down to a 4. A high 4, but a 4 nonetheless.
Tiene dos temazos clásicos y favoritos para mí. El resto es una buena mezcla de rock y folk. La última canción, eso sí, es un buen wtf actual. Supongo que en el época era algo normal ese tipo de exabruptos, pero ahora es más bien algo pintoresco.
This is our second Led Zeppelin album on this list, and I find myself more impressed with this one even though the album was the other's predecessor. I may be paying more attention now or perhaps differently, more than 100 albums later, but I feel more expression and creativity here. A worthy addition to this list. There were some notable songs that stood out. if you're not clapping during "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp," then I don't know what you're doing. A shoutout to "Immigrant Song," which is such a classic banger of a song that deserves all its praise. It's definitely the hardest on the album. "Friends," which I maybe heard on the radio once or twice, stood out to me. I keep listening to it and finding more to enjoy about it. I thought "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" would've been my favorite but "Friends" grabbed the title a few listens in. The guitar opening on "Celebration Day." The simplicity of "Tangerine." The songs are varied and enjoyable. some were okay to me overall, but nothing was bad.
Prior to 1001, this was one of my lesser liked (but still liked) Led Zeppelin albums. I would say that is still the case. That said, this is still a solid album which an amazing variety of instrumentation and vocal effects, and I have a new appreciation for it after listening to it in the scope of this project. Though it may not be a favorite album, Immigrant Song is hands down a favorite song from this album, and one of the best in Led Zeppelin's entire discography. Also, though maybe "underrated" is not the right word, I have always thought Gallows Pole doesn't get enough recognition; they manage to accomplish so much build up and excitement in a song with very minimal instrumentation. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, as far as I'm concerned, is a secret sleeper agent banger on this album. Again, III is not my favorite, but Led Zeppelin makes it hard not to respect and appreciate their chemistry and inventiveness. What they do was cutting edge at the time, and it just WORKS.
Classic rock album with some blues/acoustic influence.
Enjoyed it, great album
Solid classic, a bit of progressive rock. Overall very good.
This ones class - 3rd in my rankings of led zepp albums feels the most unique out of their albums I've listened to. Purely due to having loads of acoustic sections (which are a great change). Also since I've been loving you is definitely a top 5 zeppelin track
Led Zeppelin II is the ultimate album. Following that is a difficult task, and III is a far cry from II. That being said, it's a different animal all together. Much more subdued, exploratory, but still cohesive. As a band, these guys are perfection. Every part of music is demonstrated to mastery with every song they perform, so it's impossible to not like this stuff even though they have peaks and valleys. What's great about III is that it builds and while you listen, there's a journey that goes out with a bang!
a more acoustic sounding led zeppelin album, that still touches hard rock, folk rock and blues influences throughout
8/10. Immigrant Song is always fun, rest of the album pretty good too
Definitely the weakest Zeppelin we’ve had so far. 8/10
A blend of folk and rock. Still think Physical Graffiti is their best album
Excellent!
Probably the most eclectic of the Led Zeppelin albums, it contains the usual bunch of hard rockers interspersed with straight blues and a heap of folky acoustic material (that mostly works), part of it with a subtle middle-eastern bent, foreshadowing the direction some of the band’s music would later take. As with all Led Zep albums, III is a super solid record, and up there with their best, but often gets overlooked between their debut and Led Zeppelin II and IV.
Listened to on 5/30/22 4/5 Favorite song: immigrant song I love Led Zeppelin and this album didn’t fail to be a series of bops- the immigrant song is quintessential 70s and I loved every moment of listening to it 3 times
Not quite as good as 2 and 4 but still great. Also a surprising amount of bluegrass songs
Good, obviously. Tangerine and That's The Way are beautiful songs, Jimmy Page is just incredible, though there's not enough on this album to lift it above a 4 overall for me.
Standout Songs: Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Hats odd To (Roy) Harper
Immigrant Song is such a classic, Tangerine and Gallows Pole are also great.
Classic Zeppelin III. Not much more to say
If only Gandalf knows how to play guitar…
III will never be my go-to Zeppelin, but this was better than I've given it credit for.
Starts with a bang and remained decent throughout. Glad it didn’t fizzle out like I was thinking it might.
Solid album - didn’t blow me away, but I would listen to it again.
It's not got the big hits of Zep II or IV, but this is really good...lesser songs like Celebration Day and Out on the Tiles are really good, and then the bangers like Immigrant Song, That's the Way, etc. just round it out. Hats off to Roy is the only real dud on the album, and even it's not as bad as I remember.
It's all Led to me. Which means some I love and others just sound the same. Idk, I guess it's a solid 4 for me
Great album, will be listening to it again
I'll give 4 stars because of peer pressure, but I don't see anything special about Led Zeppelin...
The album that made Jimmy Page hate the press, simply because they couldn't understand why Zep went acoustic. Probably Cameron Crowe's favorite Zeppelin album. The highs (Immigrant Song, That's The Way, Tangerine) really soar, and are among the best of their catalog. The rest is something of a mixed bag, and a foretaste of the feast to come on the next album...
Think I've listened to Zeppelin's one and two and not really been into it. Three was pretty nice though!
Solid album from start to finish.
3.8 - excellent mix of harder tacks like “Immigrant Song” and more melodic tunes like “Tangerine”. Solid listen for a great band.
Classic Rock. Well deserve 4 +++
I've had a love/hate relationship with Led Zeppelin for a long time. Fortunately, this one is in my favorite albums of the group. The folkish songs on this record are phenomenal and Immigrant Song is a killer opener. Not a perfect album though, maybe the last 3 songs weren't needed. Anyway, it deserves 4 stars for sure.
Love me some Led Zeppelin. Truth be told, this is probably only my 5th favorite Zeppelin album (Top 4 are Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin IV, roughly in that order) but it's still great. 4 stars.
Kolejne Zeppeliny na liscie, tym razem z numerem trzecim z 1970, ktory jest chyba najbardziej folkowym materialem w dyskografii bandy, ktory jednak jest otwarty tak bangersko hardnym instrumentalem jak immigrant song, ktory jednak sam w sobie jest ciekawa opowiescia pasujaca do folkowych klimatow snutych na reszcie albumu, tak jak na poprzednich albumach grupa gra wylacznie przy wykorzystaniu wlasnych instrumentow, ale tym razem slychac wieksza roznorodnosc, zwlaszcza wsrod akustycznej czesci instrumentali, wiec Page operuje na banjo, akustykowych gitarach, czy tez hawajkach, do tego Jones ma hajlajtowe momenty na mandolinie, kontrabasie, poza typowymi klawiszami hammondowymi i moogowymi, kolejna rzecza ktora wyproznia ten krazek jest sposob w jakim jest podzielony udzial czlonkow zespolu w pisaniu kawalkow, bo prezentuje on o wiele bardziej demokratyczne podejscie do tematu, gdzie kazdy z czlonkow ma swoje pare groszy, a nie sam Pageowy show, roznorodnosc liryczna jaka za tym idzie jest jedna z mocniejszych stron plyty, ale jako fangej folkowej strony rocka pewnie kupilbym cokolwiek z taki akustykami pana Page, ale gdyby pisac od kawalka do kawalka to znajdzie sie tutaj cos bluesowego jak since i have been loving you z epicka solowka Jimmiego, czy cos bardziej psychodelicznego jak utwor firends, ktory jako jeden z nielicznych z tamtego okresu featuruje smyczkowe brzmienia, wiec jest to 43 przepakowane roznorodnoscia brzmienia, ale jednoczescie te 10 kawalkow pasuja do siebie tworzac spojna calosc, na plejsce juz mialem openingowego immigrantowego songa, ale tym razem dodam jeszcze wspomnianych friendsow i barowy song out on the tiles, ktory obok immigrantow jest przykladem hardego rokowania z tego krazka, charakteryzujace sie Bonhamowa solowka, jeden z hajlajtowych momentow tego albumu obok niezliczonych ou jechow Plantowych
When you open your album with “Immigrant Song” it is really hard to follow that. Zeppelin needed 9 more tracks to fill the void but they do it here. If not for IV’s more solid lineup this would’ve been Zeppelins best album.
LP
Don’t think I’ve ever listened to this album in full. Celebration Day has always been a favorite and makes me think of playing bass with Xan at 16. Ultimately still a tier below LZ II and Houses of the Holy in my opinion if only for the creativity of the songs. Still has that earlier LZ sound I like so much more than the albums after HotH.
This was my favorite Led Zeppelin record for years before I heard "Presence" and never looked back. "Since I've Been Loving You" is in the running for my favorite song by the band. You want to know what makes me feel like the Beatles were mortals more than anything? The fact that this record was released the same year as the last Beatles record. I like to think I would have thought "F the Beatles, this is the 70s and I'm a Led Zep man" the way Jimmy Page wanted. Not sure I would have. But, this and Black Sabbath drew a line in the sand. Not to mention Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother." 1970 was a passing of the torch in some ways. Even the Stones had to find their way and work their asses off to make records that hung with the new class of insurgent rock bands. What an exciting time in music.
I love Led Zeppelin, but I really don't know much about them or their discography - which makes it hard to judge this album against their others. But - at the end of the day - they're the Zep, the album rocks. What more do I need to know?
Great rock album
Not their best but it is still really good. I love the latter half run from Gallows -> Bron Y Aur. So solid.
Most definitely the lesser of the better albums from Led Zeppelin (a distinguished list that includes 1 to 4 + Physical Graffiti). But lesser does not mean that it’s anything less than excellent, brimming as it is with classics (Immigrant Song) and signature blues tracks (Since I’ve Been Loving You).
Revenge of the Led. This was nice and boppy! I'm glad the generator made me listen to Led Zeppelin as I enjoyed this. Again I'm torn between a 3 or a 4, I wish the rating system was out of 10 tbh.
This was good and I had fun!
Led Zep's first two albums are great, but have quite rightly been regarded as rip-offs of classic blues artists, and they don't bring much of their own sound to the records. This is the first album where they really bring something different to the table, with a wide variety of styles blending together in a pretty perfect way
Pretty good album. I liked the banjo that showed up in the one song. 1 recognized song
Предисловие: Альбом слышал раньше. Тогда мне не понравилось. Даём 2 шанс. Прослушивание 1 1 Обожаю этот трек. Лучшая песня в ost шрека. Хахахаха) 2 Сказать мало что можно. Трек необычный. Похож на музыкальную паузу из мультфильмов дисней. 3 Сесть бы сейчас в какую-нибудь семёрку, и поехать в закат. Включить это на всю, и радоваться жизни. Мне нравится. 4 Как он чувствует... хахаха) этот трек пропитан колосальной энергией 5 Меня завораживает этот голос. Это прекрасно. 6 Что за кантри началось?) Мне ооочень нравится. 7 Сгрустнул.... 8 Что за депресняк начался?.. 9 Вот это другое дело. Сейчас иду по улице, пританцовываю. Выгляжу наверное,как идиот. 10 Какая грязь. Мне это не понравилось.
5 star album by any conventional scale but led gets judged on their own scale
Immigrant song is a hell of a way to start off an album. After that, this becomes a more straight ahead blues album with hard rock layered over it. It works pretty well, and there are plenty of classic songs on this album. One thing that was hard to keep out of my mind while listening to this is that the next three albums that they are going to put out are going to be IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti. This album is not as strong as those, but on its own it's very good. It's clear that this album is previewing where the band is going, but it's not quite there yet 4/5
Muito mais músicas boas do que eu imaginava
Some good rocking here
Inte Zeppelins bästa, men det säger inte så mycket. Immigrant Song är en sån jävla tokbanger, man glömmer ibland hur bra Zep är för att de är en sån stor del av kanonen vid det här laget men de är så ägiga??
Very under rated. But I'm biased.
Good
Another superb entry by Led Zeppelin. Incredible how they could pop out these amazing records a year apart. This album is where LZ starts to explore other genres, blues here, funk there, and overall very much a blend of folk and heavy metal. It's hard to even hate the less interesting songs cause the band members all work so well together, not just the rhythmic drumming or Plant's delivery, but for me it's Page's guitar that firmly establishes him as one of the best, if not the best, guitarist of all time. The highlights of this album are "Immigrant Song", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Tangerine", "That's the Way", and "Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp." Half the album, not bad. "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of my favorite songs of all time; that masterpiece is enough for me to keep coming back to this album. Despite the fact this is my least favorite pre-Presence album, it just goes to show LZ has one of the most consistent discographies in music history.
A couple of gimmicky throwaway tracks… Hats Off should have been an instrumental. But the great Immigrant Song is only like the fifth-best one, and that’s really saying something. I saved several of these for permanent rotation, and I’m so glad I finally heard the drums on Out On The Tiles.
Immigrant Song
Well, its another LZ BANGAAA. Hot topic which album is best, but there's some gold in here: Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You. Perhaps a 4*... tough!
Ein á mínum uppáhalds
Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but awesome nonetheless. "That's The Way" has quickly become one of my favorite songs of theirs. Just like every Led Zeppelin albums, there are enough hits that can draw you in, that you end up listening to the whole record.
Love this group
One of Led's greatest songs kicks this album off and lets just say I've been waiting since the beginning of the year to review a Led Zepplin album. Three is not in the top albums for me but that is only because I was never as familiar with it as 1 or 2 or Physical Graffiti. After listening to it, I'd still keep it lower on my list only because I was always more a fan of their rock side than folk side but this is still a classic album.
FINALLY. We've made it through 242 albums before hitting our first from Led Zeppelin. Starting with III is interesting because this is personally my least favorite of the self-titled series, at least that was my perception going into it today. Coming out, I'm not so sure. This is a fantastic album, and I knew that going in, but so many more great songs than I recognized or remembered. Crazy that Immigrant Song is the biggest hit on here, I certainly don't think it's the best. An obvious departure from their usual hard rock fare to folksy blues. Lots of acoustic and sliding steel guitars. They really committed to a sound and overall it came out really well. I don't think this is on the same plane as the first two LZ albums, but damn it's also terrific. Favorite tracks: Tangerine, Hats Off to Roy Harper, Out on the Tiles, Immigrant Song, Since I Been Loving You. Album art: Love the cover, and seeing it here larger than usual illuminates incredible detail. Very lively and funky, feels organic in the way the music does as well. But the first four Zeppelin album covers are iconic regardless. 4.5/5
some great tracks on here, Plant's voice and Page's guitar work are such a good combo
Never listed to the Zep much before. Really quite liked it
Great
Pretty sweet album. Consistent rock.
I used to play this album so much - haven't played it for years now, but it's still great.
shame spotify links you to the remaster by default. the curse of the spotify remasters! lowkey wish it was 2 rather than 3, but I'll take what I can get also, it turns out the first led zep album came out 50 years ago, which is really strange and incredible to me for some reason
This album starts on a high with Immigrant song, but can't really follow it up - a lot of good riffs but not much that really reaches out and grabs me, although celebration day is close. I'd come back to this album for an enjoyable listen, but it's never going to be one of my favourites.
Plenty of bangers and still as full sounding
The album leads off with its best song. The Immigrant song sets the tone for the album, but none of the other songs live up to it, and leaves you a little disappointed. A lot more bluesy songs on this album.
I think this was one of my favorite Zeppelin albums at one point but I haven't listened to Led Zeppelin in a while. It's definitely a great record but I listening back this time it was a little underwhelming this time. I think there are two reasons * The recording quality leaves a bit to be desired. Sounds a bit thin in places (probably the first time I'm listening to this on a truly hi-fi audio setup) * It's a bit less bombastic than earlier Zeppelin albums. They definitely started to do more acoustic stuff and ballads. The is one of the things I used to really like about this album but probably I just wasn't in the mood for mellow Zeppelin this time out so not going to count this against it too much. Anyway, hard to rate this anything but a 4. A great record.
I genuinely cannot believe how good that album sounded. I played the first track expecting to hear hard rock, what I encountered was bluesy rock and a bit folky as well. My perception of Led Zeppelin has been totally overturned, and for the better as well
Great display of folk and rock blending tinny folk acoustics with heavier rock riffs and drums. Not the album that brings me home but a refreshing and impressive collection from one of the greatest with some classics snuck in. 4.49 Friends, Out on the tiles, gallows pole, tangerine
Obviously, the musicianship is faultless, and thankfully the professionalism here is part of the band's passion for an eclectic range of music. Yet one would like a more organic tracklisting; the division of the LP into electric and acoustic sides makes the album feel like slightly artificial, as if driven by guile as much as creativity. Also, and you may disagree, the cumulation and ordering of the acoustic tracks causes the last two tracks, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp and Hats off to (Roy) Harper, to sound a little peculiar, like experiments that don't completely come off. Nevertheless, there's more than enough meat here.
yup, still like this. some songs still played now and then on remastered box
Familiar Led Zeppelin sound, but also a bit of experimentation on this album. Not perfect, but lots to like, with Since I've been Loving You and Tangerine as particular highlights.
Tiene dos canciones que me gustan mucho (Inmigrant Song, Tangerine), pero otras no.
More folky and even bluesy than their prior work. Not my favorite album of theirs but definitely some hidden gems.
Incredible start, but then nothing else on the album quite holds up to Immigrant song. One more banger makes this an easy 5
Not a cohesive album imo, but when it's good it's "best ever" good. And there's more good than not. Deserves to be on this list.
Great album. Knew a few of the songs but dont think I had listened to it all before.
This album is definitely my favorite currently of the zeppelin albums 1-4. Tangerine and immigrant song is great!
Really enjoyable. A classic which I had never listened to from start to finish. Even the strummy acoustic songs rock.
I've probably listened to this the second-most of all zeppelin albums, and for good reason. It's really good. Celebration Day and Gallows Pole are the standouts, and despite it being overplayed for 50 years and its presence in Marvel movies Immigrant Song still rocks pretty hard....
classic
Immigrant Song obviously the most popular but I guess I was expecting something a bit more. This one was quite bluesy/acoustic/folk, probably more than what I would've liked. 7/10.
classic
I usually say I don’t like led zeppelin but I actually enjoyed this album.
Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Immigrant song, Since I’ve been loving you, Out on the tiles, Gallows pole
Sounds a lot like Greta Van Fleet! (Did I make you cringe?! :D ) More seriously, Zeppelin is great. Had not listened to this CD before, a bit of a departure from their popular stuff, had a lot of fun listening to this on repeat.
Didn’t have the magic of some other Led Zeppelin albums, but still a solid listen.
Definitely a repeat listen for some songs like Tangerine and Immigrant Song
Bra skiva!
Cool, classic Led Zeppelin album. Immigrant Song is definitely the best song on album.
Incredible album the whole way through, if I had to give it a complaint, the last track is a bit shit but overall loved it
Opening with the immigrant song is so good. Probably my favorite opening of a Zepplin album. But I don't think it follows the flow of that super well. But man is it a good album. Always thought it was a weird folksy sorta rock, much different than their usual sound anyway. I like it, it's different, not in a bad way. It isn't my favorite Zepplin album.
Yep, it’s good
absolute quality
Really great.
i know a couple of their popular songs and i like dazed and confused. from this tracklist i only know immigrant song. which is so short btw. doesnt do much for me. second song: meh sound and i dislike the lyrics. synth at the end was delicious. LOOOOVE how it carried over into the next song. i like 'celebration day' a lot better in all possible ways. song fades out which is okay but ill be thinking about the previous transition forever. OH i do know this song too ('since ive been loving you'), love it. nice. love a long intro when its this good. next song is good too it was just the second song really that i didnt care about and even then the ending was cool. overall album is very listenable cause i like chill rock songs but i dont think its all that. didnt blow my mind but its good and perfectly enjoyable. i added 'since ive been loving you' to my playlist for songs over 7 plus minutes :)
real good groves. the drums are sick and the bass is nasty.
I grew up on this album. Still holds up.
My favorite so far is “since I’ve been loving you” it gives off a funkadelic soul type of song while still hitting that guitar making it a rock. I love it.
Was just in the right mood for this one. Enjoyed the majority of the tracks - I get a nice wave of nostalgia every time I listen to Led Zep. Probably one I'll come back to again
Solid start with Immigrant Song. By the 2nd song it feels like a solid 4. Love the blues / blue-grass influence of Led Zep, almost a bit slide guitar. And can tell how they've progressed through the last 2 albums to this one. 4/5
Love multiple songs from this gem. It is definitely not the best Zeppelin album, however, it has many highlights. I'd give it 9/10, however, as I can give it only 5 star ranking I am going to give it 4.
This album rips. Immigrant Song is a killer opening track. This era of music, and Led Zepplin in particular, is known for the excess, but you have to respect a 40 minute album.
It's Zeppelin, you know exactly what you're going to get. I did like this more than I usually like them though. I think doing a whole album here works better than the solitary songs I've heard before.
Zep's slightly more folky album. BT: Immigrant Song, Celebration Day, Gallows Pole
Awesome stuff.
Not much to say. It was Great. Every song. Obviously, right?
Wonderful rock record with an equally excellent folkie B side. Rock at its prime in its heyday, difficult to beat
Love this, awesome playing with folk
It's very interesting to listen to some Led Zeppelin songs that aren't part of the greatest hits of the band (for me, the only exception here is "The immigrant song"), but Led Zepelling is always Led Zepellin, so I don't have so much to say: Absolutely amazing
Really good! Didn't expect that sound and really enjoyed it. I think it runs a bit out of steam, but maybe it was just me getting a bit bored :S "Immigrant song", "Celebration Day", "Gallows Pole": BANGERS!
I liked some of it
Haden't heard Tangerine before
I dig it.
Quality listenings
My least favorite of Led Zeppelin's first six albums but again still very good. 1. Gallow's Pole 2. Since I've Been Loving You 3. Tangerine
Classic. Reminds me of college
i could - and would - hate on robert plant's voice until the cows freeze over...but damn, man...bonham.
Diverse and awesome
Discovered Led Zep in 1989 with their (untitled) 4th album. Then, listened to all albums. Top track: Since I've Been Loving You
classic
Classic.
4. Quizá no le puse mucha atención al final pero sentí que se cae poquito. Qué pinche joya son Celebration Day, la que sigue y la que sigue.
Aunque tiene una de mis rolas favoritas, las cuatro estrellas son porque creo que me gusta un poco más el disco número II que muy seguramente tocará escuchar en algún momento.
Solid
Starts with an all time best riff and has to keep up from there. Awesome.
I've grown to appreciate Zeppelin more and more. Great album.
Very good. Even though most of songs on this album are not mega hits and only Immigrant Song desrves to be called that, it's a very good rock album.
More acoustic than I expected
I had Led Zeppelin 1 come up yesterday, and I'm definitely still a fan of this one, but in comparison, it's not quite the masterpiece that 1 is. It seems more disconnected, and not all the songs are bangers. Still love it though!
slower zep. fav track: that's the way
It’s a zeppelin album. Solid classic rock. Starts with the best - immigrant song.
Great album and powerful album
This album was sick. Got a new song off it, enjoyed it a lot.
For me, there is not a Zeppelin album that is less than a 3. This one- this is a 4.
A great, expansive exploration of sound…on their way to Zeppelin IV!
It doesn't get any more classic than Led Zeppelin. Some great songs.
Zepplin's great
I've heard this album a few times before, it's pretty varied and the songwriting is noticeably a lot better than most other rock from 1970. Zeppelin were ahead of their time, one of the few artists from this exact time that kinda DOES deserve to have a bunch of albums in this list. Everyone loves Immigrant Song etc, but big fan of all the 12-string acoustic stuff as well. Would get a 5 but some of the second half drags a bit. 4/5.
Another amazing zep....
un classique j'ai reconnu beaucoup des melodies j'ai passé un moment pas désagréable je sais pas si je reecouterais
La mayoría de los temas en este disco me suenan a improvisaciones folk. Tendré que darle una segunda vuelta.
As a fan of Led Zepplin, I will honestly say this is not one of my favorites of theirs. Other than perhaps the Immigrant Song to me, I could pass over this album any day in favor of others. But I appreciate the relisten for this list.
The catchy songs didn't have anything to say, and the frilly songs weren't pretty enough to catch me as folk rock. For me this fell slightly tediously between two stools.
rym 3.78 Folk Rock/Hard Rock 噢第一张飞艇。真是那个年代的独有的风骚。但应该不是飞艇的名声该有的最高水准，期待后面的其他专辑。 pick: Since I've Been Loving You, Celebration Day
Starts off incredibly strong with Immigrant Song, then turns into an okay folk album. Weird pivot, but whatever. Favorite Track: Immigrant Song
The title is also the review. It’s Led Zeppelin. It’s a 3. It’s a high 3 but too much noodling and not enough substance to get it to a 4 for me.
A to to.
Started off strong but disappointed.
Couple of solid songs on here!
Led Zep! Have tried to get into them before (with I think IV?), but didn't succeed the first time. Dad loves them though, so there's gotta be something I'm missing. Another rock album, but more classic rock, which I'm not as familiar with. Feels wrong that III is #4. Feel like that's a missed opportunity. Also more numbered albums so yay. 21, 3. Starting with Immigrant Song. Best track: Tangerine 8/10 - Robert Plant isn't shouting on this one. Very nice acoustic track. Was apparently at the end of Almost Famous, which makes sense. Fitting as a credits song, which also happens to be my favourite. Since I've Been Loving You is epic. Think it's finally clicked on the third listen. Love the keyboards. Epic guitar solo. Actually really like it. Seems inspired by I Want You (She's so Heavy) to me if I had to guess (came out a year earlier. Something about the doomy-sounding slow guitar motif that goes through the song. Worst: Hats Off To (Roy) Harper - 3/10 - This was a 1/10 on first listen tbh. Barely sounded like a song. Weird demo guitar sounds paired with a baffling vocal effect. Kind of got it on the second listen, but doesn't really go anywhere and still don't like the vocal effect. Not my favourite. Understand Led Zep a little better now, but still struggled to get into it. Can't vibe with Robert Plant's voice that much. Especially when he's shouting. Got into the bluesy acoustic guitars on this record eventually. Think I am sorely missing context from their first 2 albums, as apparently this one is more acoustic than normal. Immigrant song is a rocker, even if the lyrics are a little cringy. Still probably have 3 more chances to fully understand them. Bad tracks are bad. Good tracks are good. Still willing to give them another shot. They've grown on me slightly. Final score: 6/10
Instrumental très vibey qui part en kiff total. Le chanteur porte extremement bien les chansons. Sons préférés : Gallow Pole , Hats off to (Roy) Harper
Led Zeppelin III starts out very strong and ends up being a good but not great album, not nearly as great at Physical Graffiti or Led Zeppelin IV.
goo
It's funny - got this the day after I got Led Zeppelin IV. It's definitely more uneven than IV, but overall a good listen. Immigrant song is definitely the highlight for me and I like Since I've Been Loving You.
Talvez se eu estivesse chapado isso aqui teria mais musicas marcantes além de "immigrant song". "Celebration day" tem um instrumental de guitarra gostoso de escutar. Pulei algumas musicas por achar chato mas reconheço o trabalho que foi colocado por trás. Vai tomar um 3 msm, dane-se. Combina com o titulo do álbum.
Alright, but not for me.
copado, auto
75
a few great tracks, would listen to again
Slightly overhyped tbh. It’s a good album but it doesn’t have the consistency that would make me want to give it a 4+… 3.5/5 maybe on a good day.
Fast vier Sterne, II und IV finde ich einfach noch stärker.
bleh
Liked this, didn’t love it
Prefer the mellow ones. Vocals get a bit annoying when he’s constantly screeching. Immigrant Song is a headbanging intro 🤘 and Since I’ve Been Loving You and Tangerine stood out.
Certainly not me fave but some crackers. Since ive been loving you is a top 5 song i reckon. Tangerine is very pretty. Could give or take immigrant song
Immigrant song is great and pretty much carries the weight of the whole album. Other good songs too, but its still one of led zeps weakest albums. One i never actually feel like playing. 3.5
surprised how little I liked this. To have such a banger of an opener. And then go nowhere. Rest of the album was Boring if anything. Listened to it a couple more times and it imoroved. Generous 3 after initial disappointment
Led zep 3. Good album, nothing more to add.
A mixed bag here for me, one song I already knew, a couple that were new to me that I liked, and some real stinkers. “Since I’ve Been Loving You” in particular just makes me want to listen to “Ball and Chain,” the superior version of this song. The song also features perhaps the worst rock drumming I’ve ever heard. I added “Immigrant Song,” “Friends,” and “Tangerine” to my library. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
Anoter Zep, starts strong with the first two tracks, the bluesier it gets the worse it is. Settles into a mostly unremarkable flow. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No, 97/367 (26%) Will I get: No
Kinda mid considering their overall quality
creo que necesito más escuchas. ahora mismo me gusta pero todavía no termino de sacarle el juguito.
gave us everything and left us with nothing..? immigrant song and since ive been loving you set the bar so high and then it just kind of goes down hill
This was my second Led Zeppelin in a week. I'm normally not a classic rock guy, but this was ok.
Not quite what I was hoping it would be after loving their debut so much but it was good enough. Immigrant Song is overrated.
"Immigrant Song" is otherworldly, but the rest of the record are noodling (early experiments with synthesizers sound interesting just not very good). Always felt that this was by far the weakest of their "classic era."
Irgendwann im Juli 2026 Habs abends beim Kochen komplett durchgehört. In der Küche. Bei Temperaturen von 1000 Grad. Essen hat gekocht, ich hab gekocht und Led Zepplin hat 1970 gekocht.
Donnerstag, 23.07.2026 Ausnahmsweise mal in der Bibliothek und tatsächlich auch mal wieder zuhause im Bett
Much better than their first, very background 70s movie but also has some western vibes to it - it wasent too bad
Was disappointed to see this pop up as my first album. Then “Immigrant Song” started and I was like, “Hell yeah!” It went downhill until the end of Side A (“Out of the Tiles”), and then got better again. I like the rock stuff better than the folkier and bluesier stuff. But Bron-Y-Aur Stomp had me tapping my toes. Highlights: -Immigrant Song - Out on the Tiles - Gallows Pole - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp “Since I’ve Been Loving You” was an interminable slog. Album closer “Hats off to (Roy) Harper” - I like the experimental nature of it but it’s not fun to listen to. Love the cover art. Crazy how much Jack White took from all this!
It was a fine listen.
Love since I've been loving you and immigrant song but the rest didn't really do it for me
어쿠스틱 기타
I enjoyed it, but the songs got repetitive and the constant falsetto got old.
Immigrant Song carries, but to be honest I might prefer the folky songs outside of the rocky songs (besides Immigrant Song), because the hard rock songs felt weakly composed/performed to me.
i don't think i like classic rock very much
This one is pretty mid for me. While listening I mostly felt bored. The album tries really hard to be raw, emotional, and acoustic-heavy, but it comes off as exaggerated and overwhelming in a way that just feels dull. It’s very raw and scrappy, which can be a good thing, but here it feels messy rather than powerful. The lyrics are quite weak, and Robert Plant’s vocals often sound more strained and struggling than commanding and heavy like on their other records. Overall it just doesn’t hit like their best work. A few tracks do stand out and carry the album — especially “Immigrant Song,” “Out on the Tiles,” “Gallows Pole,” and “Tangerine” — but they’re not enough to save the whole thing from feeling like a bit of a letdown compared to other albums. Not one of their best by a long shot.
What I put down on my first listen: "More folk-rooted than their previous hard hitting records. Robert really carries with his voice." I remember it being more slow, but actually it's less intense than their first two records. Has more of an introspective mood for sure that's added by the folk rock sound of this album (3.5).
Of the pre-In Through the Out Door albums, LZ3 is the underdog. Anyone whose family had a copy was probably fascinated by it, with its rotating die-cut cover, but it's probably the one folks heard least. Sure, Immigrant Song is an iconic beginner, but even the other popular track, Gallows Pole, is among the lesser known hits. It was certainly spun less often than most of its peers. Maybe because it's an allegory for the corruptability of justice, maybe because it's of the “25 minutes to go” school of songs that just keep speeding up, unstoppable, anxiety causing. Immigrant Song is more classic, but Gallows Pole is probably one of Zep's better folk-adjacent songs. 3 also has Since I've Been Loving You, which is one of their purer blues songs and honestly my biggest surprises. “Hats Off…” also mines a similar bluesiness, but more of a slide guitar, folksong blues… there's more of that acoustic vibe on Side 2 than I would have expected from Zep. And there's also Out on the Tiles, which is pretty dramatically similar to Good Times Bad Times. Weird album all around for the boys. At this point, LZ3 is unsurprisingly at the bottom of the pack, outside of those weird stragglers at the end of their career that I'm simply not overly familiar with, but Zep did their thing well enough that that still nets them a strong ⭐️⭐️⭐️, maybe a 3.5. I'll be giving it another spin to get better acquainted, but it really is set apart from the best of the catalog
Expectation: -> Led Zeppelin is one of those bands that everbody loves but I don't really have an opinion either way. Maybe I form one today. After listening: -> Still mostly ambivalent and don't feel connected. Really liked some moments but most of this was just playing in the background while I did something else. I'm realizing that I never recognize when a Zeppelin song is playing on the radio or streaming. Immigrant Song is a standout on this album. Track ranking: Immigrant Tiles Tangerine That's the Way Loving Gallows Celebration Stomp Friends Hats
Sou muito fã da banda e já tinha ouvido. Mas é sim um grande clássico e tem uma das músicas mais influentes de todos os tempos (alguns diriam), Immigrant Song
3.5, this album is technically very very good. The guitar work, whew. Aside from Immigrant Song, I like Friends and Since I've Been Loving You. I appreciate the artistry, but the band and their music don't resonate with me as much as I would like.
it's alright, definitely a blast but I wasn't really blown away by it.
Immigrant song is cool and stands out to me, but the rest is just classic led Zeppelin sound that you're either into or your not
It was alright. Good music tones. Slower than expected.
Led Zepplin dude. Insane opening track, great album.
Good album but my least listened to Led Zeppelin. I like Houses of the Holy more, and III is my lowest ranked of the first four. Still Zep and still good but this one is a 3 for me
Really like Zeppelin's sound, and this album is no different. This is not one of my favorites by them but Immigrant Song is a great start to this album.
יש כמה שירים מעולים וכמה בינוניים
I am sure it was great then. Now it is and sounds old.
Classic LED Zeppelin. Some really great songs and some that are too long and repetitive.
A disappointing album from Led Zeppelin. Since I've Been Loving You is really good and Gallows Pole is pretty good, but the rest is pretty average. 3 stars or C+.
Never a fan but enjoyable enough. One for the tokers at uni.
Some solod tracks
It was pretty good but still way too overrated. Feels like the songs kinda blend together at times. Favorite track(s) Since I've Been Loving You Tangerine
Fine! Zeppelin doesn't do much for me in my day-to-day. Good for a workout I guess. "Immigrant Song" is the famous one off this album which I instantly recognized.
Classic rock
Крутой микс стилей. Нравится фолковый вайб в некоторых песнях. Немного не мое, но было интересно послушать.
Some enjoyable moments
One of the best album intros of all time.
Great listen. The first song got me hype and sent off into the rest of the album!
If you told someone to listen to Zeppelin you wouldn’t recommend this first but you wouldn’t recommend it last either. It’s overall a very good album some songs personally I felt dragged on way longer than they had to.
Some of the songs feel very country. The album is nice to listen to but for me it's probably a one time listen. Songs I liked Immigrant song Gallows pole Celebration day Tangerine 7/10
7/10. Buen álbum pero pierde potencia mientras avanza, además que es moggeado hasta la muerte por II y IV
you know, it's fine
Their typical sound and everlasting quality; although this album is without their most notable hits, it has become a foundation in their versatile opus 👏
Pretty Good
I should listen to more led zeppelin huh
Certainly not the best Led Zeppelin album. 3.2/5
7 / 10
Solid album with almost no recognizable singles
all day Green Day W album
3 de 5 El álbum en primera instancia sorprende porque se aleja de su característico y pesado hard rock de riffs, para explorar de forma magistral elementos de folk acústico y psicodelia, así como también, consolidando sus raíces de blues. Un trabajo donde la instrumentación se volvió rica y variada, con sonidos más suaves y acústicos, un cambio radical en el sonido de el grupo, que demostró que la banda no podía encallarse en un sólo sonido. A destacar: Track 1 - Immigrant Song Track 3 - Celebration Day Track 4 - Since I’ve Been Loving You Track 5 - Out On the Tiles Track 7 - Tangerine Track 9 - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
I come from the land of the ice and snow… What? Don’t tell me you’ve never had a Led out? AAAHHHAAAHHH HHAA!!!
Buiten Immigrant song, te veel country...
Much much better than physical graffiti, but still not my jam.
Greta van Fleet coverband Coole instrumentals, het is dat ik Robert Plant 9vd10x gewoon heel vervelend vind zingen
6/10 - it's good but Immigrant song is the best and the others are all passengers
Never been a Zepp guy. Having said that, Since I've Been Loving You is a bloody great.
One of the worst cases of first song syndrome I’ve heard; sets the bar way too high. Also I’m not sure why I have zep 2 a 4/5 it’s closer to a 2 than a 4
I think it's at times great, but also pushy too no end, everything is so maxed out it doesnt breath much. Sure its great, and if you like "too much" this is perfect for you, but I guess I wasn't in the mood yesterday
Immigrant song - 5/5 Friends - 3/5 Celebration day - 2/5 Since I've been loving you - 3/5 Out on the tiles - 3/5 Gallows pole - 3/5 Tangerine - 4/5 Thats the way - 3/5 Bron Y aur stomp - 3/5 Hats off to (Roy)Harper - 1/5
3.5 дуже гарний тембр голосу, прості тексти (+ для практики англ), я б ввімкнула ще раз "Immigrant Song", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Out on the Tiles", "Gallows Pole"
I miss the energy and creativity from their debut. I don’t know if they could ever top it.
Good but not their best
I’d only heard the first track, so as far as I’m concerned, this is a surprising and varied album. Three stars…
Less enjoyable than the first one from them. Beginning is very iconic, but after that is very slow. I was just dissapointed.
ive been quite fond of this album cover for a while but as it turns out i dont like the album that much. sad!
Great
Immigrant Song is iconic in its own right, followed by some tonal shifts with Friends and Celebration Day. Out On The Tiles is great, but Since I’ve Been Loving You goes at least three minutes longer than it should. Gallows Pole stands out with its roots of old English folk music. Overall, a solid first album on this long journey!
7.5/10 This album has arguably my favourite classic rock song of all time on it, as well as two of my other overall favourites from Led Zeppelin. The rest, as far as Led Zeppelin songs go, I always think are quite uninspiring Favourites: Immigrant Song Since I’ve Been Loving You ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tangerine
3/5
Nothing to get very excited about, nothing to really dislike.
sigma balls
Diooos! Empieza siendo Shrek 3, amo. Por lo demás, me suena muy igual todo. Disfrutona pero para un ratillo. No es mi movida, esto huele a hombre manipulador.
Great record! Zepplin 2 thru 4 is a great run of albums. This one is probably weaker than the other two but still, a record with immigrant song on it can't be bad at all
Better than IV
Malo me manje iritirao od drugih Zeppelin albuma. To je napredak.
Noice leuk album met lekkere nummas
the opening of immigrant song with the, like, george of the jungle howl is pretty good. no thoughts on friends. no thoughts on celebration day. no thoughts on since i've been loving you. no thoughts on out on the tiles. gallows pole has a great rhythm to it. tangerine is the catchiest of the bunch so far but it's kind of a low bar for catchiness (i do not think they are going for "catchy" at all). that's the way has better vocals than the rest, it's sort of ballady, and i think i like that more than the, i don't know, airy/atmospheric vocals of the rest of the album. the opening of bron-y-aur stomp sounds kind of like, banjo-ey and that's pretty dancey but it literally turns into stomp clap which i have been informed via osmosis is cringe. hats off to (roy) harper sounds like someone just found out about knobs and is playing a tape while cranking those knobs all over the place like a child, genuinely stupid song tangerine > bron-y-aur stomp > i guess immigrant song for the cool yelling melody thing and the rest is kind of whatever
I need to remember that this is a lesson in music history more than anything else. It's interesting to hear this album in retrospective to see how many sounds it has inspired. Since I've been loving you is really interesting but prior songs have been sonically basic. Gallows Pole also stands out and immigrant song is a pop culture classic.
Good. A classic. But I'm so tired of listening to Led Zeppelin.
i yearn for rock n roll dudes to shred their vocal chords again
It was fine. Kind of disappointing, I don't love Plant's voice.
Never listened to this one all the way through. Good but not my favorite Zeppelin
Not my favorite Led Zeppelin release, but not half bad
Y'know, I think this might be my least favorite of the first four. I'm not steeped in the fandom enough to know if this is a popular or unpopular opinion. Here I was ready to rock, and then discovering there's a bunch of only ok stuff on here I'd forgotten about. Still, pretty good.
I will be the first to admit I underrated "Physical Graffiti", I listened to it on a poor stereo system and was talking to my partner the majority of the time. One of these days I'll get around to messaging this site's creator and editing my review there. That being said, Zeppelin and I do not mesh, something about the lead singer's voice and general classic rock vibe is something that I *personally* do not love. This album is beyond competent but its also a snooze from time-to-time. The highs are really high though. 3.5/5
pretty cool
fine!
