Immigrant Song - 5/5 Friends - 4/5 Celebration Day - 3/5 Since I've Been Loving You - 5/5 Out on the Tiles - 4/5 Gallows Pole - 3/5 Tangerine - 3/5 That's the Way - 3/5 Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - 4/5 Hats Off to (Roy) Harper - 2/5 Average score: 3.6/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
People who love their debut and the stellar follow up may not see the goodness on their third release. It's a little different and maybe not as straightforward rock n' roll as its predecessors. "Immigrant Song" is hard rock at it's finest and it's kicked off the album and 1970 in style! Everyone knows that song, just a fact, as nearly a billion people have listened to it on Spotify. "Tangerine" (132M) & "Out On The Tiles" (28M) are popular but underrated as a classic rock songs. "Since I've Been Loving You" (145M) is a radio staple and one of their true slow songs. "Gallows Pole" (36M) was always on the radio when I was a kid but you don't hear it as much now. "That's The Way" (48M) is solid but doesn't feel complete. The other 4 tracks are filler in my book ("Friends, "Celebration", "Bron-y-aur Stomp" & "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper", but all have 10M-44M listens, more than most albums on this list. 3 stars, it's not their finest but it's diverse and the killer songs outweigh the weak ones.
я снова ничего не осознала кроме того что в иммигранте восточные мотивы
Olipa niin legendaarisia kappaleita tässä että huhhels!
not really something i would listen to but it was ok, it was fun at times. faves: since i've been loving you, tangerine, that's the way
It's fine, iI honestly expected more from Led Zepplin here
I just don't like em that much and this album doesn't need to be here. It's good tho Will I listen to again: 10%
I like Led Zeppelin but I've never been a fan of this album.
Immigrant song is amazing. The rest is so boring.
3.5/5
sicher keis schlechts Album aber het mi grad gar ned glustet zums es zweitmal lose zum mich druf achte. Git 3 Halogen Zeppelin
Good ole Zed Leppelin.
I like the jangly slide guitar. Great opening song, the rest seemed more experimental, or closer to country/folk at times. Need a closer listen but so far not my fave Zep album.
Great album. But, I don’t have any impressions of it…
while being the weakest zepp ive heard so far there is always something interesting going on, the folky vibe contrasts with the overflowing energy of their other works not saying it is bad, but it fails to provide the instant gratification my doomscroller mind is used to makes you want to pick the acoustic and strum the fuck out of it tho
3/5
Started strong, ended very very meh.
si se nota lo setentero, no muy mi estilo pero me agrada la guitarra. Mi FAV FAV FAV (esa si me encanto) es la de since ive been loving you. WOW!!!! y tangerine tambien esta buena yay
*1970 *Immigrant Song and Tangerine are the only big ones here. *It was okay, but totally forgettable. RATING - 6.5/10
ilk şarkısı güzel kalanı benlik degil
their worst major album imo
Led Zeppelin III is not as consistently overwhelming as II or as all-conquering as IV. It is more uneven. Some tracks feel more interesting than essential. “Friends” is cool and texturally rich, but not fully transcendent. “Hats Off to (Roy) Harper” is the kind of track people politely call adventurous when they really mean minor and odd. The album has a few moments where experimentation adds color more than greatness.
Immigrant Song? Fucking amazing. The rest? OK.
“Immigrant Song” is a fucking crazy banger. I have to be careful if that song comes on while I’m driving. John Paul Jones does bananas bass work in general but he is on fire on that opener. The rest is pleasant but sometimes indulgent and boring. They’re on their way to bigger, punchier, less derivative things.
Muy buena guitarra. Buenas canciones pero no todas. Hay algunas que no son mi estilo
Rockin mestariteos? No ei todellakaan! Hyvä 1970-luvun rocklevy? Kyllä vaan! Immigrant sinä tuttu, muuten ei juurikaan. Tämän levyn perusteella zeppelinin hypetys ei (vieläkään) itselleni aukea. 3/5
Liked: Since I've Been Loving You
Moderately familiar with this album from before. I struggle with this band. I want so badly to love them but there’s something missing and I’ve never been able to figure it out. The music is ok but Robert Plant’s vocals are mediocre at best. SNS. 3/5
Good album.
3.5/5
Immigrant Song and then blues. Not too boring, not too interesting. very repetitive when the songs sound the same. I, III, and Physical Graffiti have the problem of not having any good killer on them. After a second listening, perhaps I was too harsh on it.
Much like I and II really
A score to match the album
Alr in love with immigrant song and one other song on the album but we’ll see how the rest goes. I don’t normally listen to Led Zeppelin but have been wanting to get into them. They’re a little harder rock then I normally listen to but I think I’ll love this album. Don’t think I’m the biggest fan of Friends..
Jimmy Page’s magpie eclecticism is in fine form here—blues he can’t quit, folk he can’t quite pull off, and rock bombast he can’t resist—but Robert Plant’s banshee yelp still tests the tolerance of anyone not fully converted to the Church of Golden God. Side two settles into something warmer and less self-impressed, proof that their pastoral ambitions aged better than their hammer-of-the-gods cosplay. Highlights include the thudding, goofy battle cry of “Immigrant Song,” the mandolin-jangle hustle of “Gallows Pole,” and “Tangerine,” a wistful near-prototype for the Tolkien-lite epics to come.
IMMIGRANT SONGG SOLID ALBUM..enjoyable throughout with some peak moments..but again..the highest point came early with the opener..from there still great songs..but not quite as good..still enjoyed listening to it..but is it what I would put on and listen start to end? Nah..
3.5
Cooool maar ik zou er niet heel vaak naar willen luisteren. Ik heb het ook niet afgeluisterd. Het is voor mij erg specifiek en ik hou niet zo van rock
Good. Not great. But really good and really cool.
Not my fave Zep but still good -
Jimmy Page é um ótimo guitarrista, não diria um dos melhores, mas dos maiores é; o disco é muito bom, mas seria melhor se fosse instrumental, porque o robert plant tem uma das vozes mais irritantes que eu já ouvi em uma música, se não for a voz mais irritante. Dito isso, immigrant song continua sendo minha música preferida desse disco.
02/04/26 immigrant song é a música hino mais enjoativa de todas se vc ouve dms percebe que vai ficando ordinário a voz desse vocalista me irrita um pouco, os falsetes lembram o mickey friends tem a guitarra bem boring tbm, nada dms o refrão é bosta eu devo ser único por achar o vocal mais fino ruim e irritante a transição entre friends e celebration day é foda e celebration day é mto mais legal, porque o instrumental é bom, sobressaindo um pouco o dito mickey - continua enjoante pela duração esse solo de since I've been loving you foi delícia o vocal dele estraga bastante tudo, qualquer coisa é muito foda, mas se n fosse ele cantando seria bem melhor, pq o instrumental é lindo de viver só since I've been loving you é marcante, immigrant song já deu e o resto não é nada demais entendiante pra caramba acaba pelo amor de Deus gallows pole cresce lento demais, não dá vontade de continuar e cresce para quase nada também tangerine é minimante melhor que o resto 3/5 / 6/10 porque o vocal existe e o instrumental é pouco versátil fora da atmosfera de cada faixa parece mais uma coletânea do que um álbum de sonoridade definida
Spectacular. So much range here
I've never listened to Led Zepplin before aside from background jukebox music in bars. Everyone told me this would be the album I would like best because I like a lot of indie rock. I dunno. I just can't get into it. It gets a 3 from me because it's still great background jukebox bar music.
Me gusta, todavía no para volver a escucharlo
Interesting
Some people say they are zeppelin people. Some say they’re stones people. I am both.
I don't dislike this as I did IV
I liked the acoustic guitar parts the best!
Quite soft for a led album
Interesting shift in direction. Some acoustic ideas land really well, others feel like sketches more than fully formed tracks.
Starts strong, but then gets a bit bland with the occasional reminder of what they could do thrown in.
This is my third Zeppelin album within the span of about a month. I'm less than 50 albums in so far, maybe I'll get them all super early on. Anyway, as is usual with Zeppelin, the instrumentation and musical skill are top notch. This album also incorporated more soft and introspective folk songs (which they do very well) and less heavier rock n' roll. The songs are never boring and always unique. I still find their debut album to be my favorite, but the tracks "Friends" and "That's the Way" were personal standouts.
i like led zeppelin but idt this is my favourite album from them. it feels like a typical led zeppelin album but the tracks don’t really stand out. immigrant song might be my favourite song from them though
Immigrant Song almost justifies this album's entry to the list by itself. The second track, Friends, is great instrumentally, but the screechy vocals spoil it. The rest is all fine. Recognisably Led Zeppelin but nothing that memorable for me.
I so wanted to like this, and had great expectations. It just didn't hit the spot.
AaaaaaaaaaAAAHA-AH!
6.8/10
זה היה קצת מעצבן וקצת קאנטרי בשבילי
Not as good as IV. Don't need the white boy blues. Highlight: Out on the Tiles
i like song 3 and really like song 4 why does it turn into a folk album at the end
None of the songs stuck out to me. Very meh
I should love Led Zep. I really should. I like rock. I like metal. But Zep get so samey. By the end of the record I was tired of the constant wailing of Mr Plant. And tired of the same blues riffs. It's an ok album, don't get me wrong. But they aren't the messiahs. In my opinion, Plant isn't even that great a singer. They influenced a lot of bands more because they were early adopters than because of some genius. Granted, they laid the foundations for other bands to build on... who then did it better. I'm sad that I can't get excited about this album.
- enjoying this more than the other Brit albums so far - kind of fun - he like to yell - might listen again
Opens with their all-time hard rock song but mainly excels in the softer moments. Highlights: "Immigrant Song", "Tangerine", "That's the Way"
333
Everything these guys produce is high quality and a musical treat. Having said that, this isn’t among my favorite Led Zep albums.
Is it this good? I don’t find it too special. It’s not too bad but could be a bit overrated? Immigrant song very good but I’m not too sure about the rest, not my favourite type of vocals either.
a pretty good rock album. Immigrant Song is the highlight of the album. its just so good, it rocks so hard. I think that Bron-Y-Aur Stomp was also pretty fantastic. the rest of the album was good, but not great in my opinion
That's The Way
Fine! Didn't like this one as much as the first album. 6/10
A strong album overall, but not my favorite from them. Only a few songs really stood out to me. Top Songs: Immigrant Song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Great opener with Immigrant Song.
Again, not too big of a Led Zeppelin fan, ig i liked “Immigrant song”
Some decent songs, ‘Tangerine’ is pretty and ‘Immigrant Song’ goes hard. Pretty cool stuff, especially for 1970.
This is a good album, but it’s not my favorite Zeppelin record. It’s not quite the record Zeppelin II is, but they more than make up for it in Zeppelin IV.
Immigrant Song is the stand out tune here.
I've never liked Led Zeppelin, but this is my favorite that I've heard of them so far. Part of it is likely that they influenced so many bands that I like that the sound feels too familiar and uninteresting. I'm guessing if I listened to this a few times I might like it a lot more.
Didnt listen
Huge opening, but definitely lost me halfway 3
Maybe not my favourite LZ album I've had on this list, but still better than a lot of other albums in general
myea
not the best led zeppelin album
Já mencionei em minha review do IV que Zeppelin não é inteiramente minha pira. Gosto do som, mas não faço muita questão. III não chega nem perto de ser meu favorito do grupo, pelo contrário, está quase no final do meu ranking pessoal. A banda é tecnicamente brilhante, tremendamente ótima na execução de todos os elementos de todas as canções. O baterista é simplesmente um monstro, os solos são inacreditáveis, os vocais são estridentes e poderosos. Mas apesar da proeza técnica deste disco, ele me perde em diversos momentos. Acho seu início francamente irritante, com Immigrant Song e Friends. O ritmo melhora um pouco com Celebration Day, na qual considero um dos pontos altos do disco junto da impressionante Since I’ve Been Loving You (possivelmente a melhor canção do grupo e uma das melhores dos anos 70… Quando a ouço eu 100% entendo quem é fanboy da banda), e a eletrizante Out On The Tiles. O que define III pra mim é sua inconsistência. Os cortes mais acústicos são simplesmente perda de tempo ao meu ver, como Tangerine e That's The Way. Mas os picos são astronômicos. Como avaliar um álbum assim? É igual namorar uma garota com o sexo mais selvagem e gostoso que você já viu, mas que simultaneamente não para de falar de banalidades estúpidas, e a família é composta de criminosos. Vale a pena o sacrifício pelo clímax inigualável? Pra mim, não. 3.5
aaaaaaah aaaah
Standouts Immigrant Song Celebration Day Since I've Been Loving You
ja
Overall pretty good, and well put together. I just don’t think I like Plant’s vocals all that well. 3.5/5
I might say this every time we get Zeppelin but they are not really my thing but this charmed me. I do love The Immigrant Song so it was a cracking start and then I was really enjoying it up until the end of Gallows Pole when I felt it dropped off a cliff. Like they just were contractually obliged to pad it out. 5/5 until then. 3.5 overall, probably rounding down because I was so disappointed in the rest.
classic 80s music. again not my style
entretenido, algunas mejores que otras
Just exhausting.
Not my favorite Zeppelin but still good
Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album. The Immigrant Song and Since I’ve Been Loving You are obvious highlights.
AAAAAaaaaaAAAAAA AAAAAAHHHH!!!
classic but not their best
2 legendary songs but the rest was a bit of a let down.
Best bluesy, best nice
the last few songs were very country hippy erm yeah. not really my vibe but maybe i’m just not cool enough to get it. 3 stars!
it might just be my dopamine deficient zoomer brain, but this was honestly a bit of a slog to get through. i might come back to it later.
This album is definitely interesting. Probably something I will revisit, but none of the songs really stand out to me.
I cannot deny the musical talent needed to create an album like this. They do a wonderful job on that end of things. Personally, I absolutely hate this album. It is not for me at all. Their style that is presented for most of the album is not great, obviously I love immigrant song though. You can never go wrong with that one but the entire rest of the album feels like it has a totally different vibe and it’s not one that I would generally come back to listen to.
Immigrant Song sets a bar the rest of the album can't quite reach...
It's OK. Presumably original at the time. But meh.
I think even a 3 is generous. Very unremarkable. I'm sure they did better albums than this though
Immigrant Song kicks this off in the best fashion, but I was somewhat dreading an hour of that sound as I've never really gelled with Led Zepp beyond that I was wrong! This is a good album, with some gorgeous highs and lows and flow, with some tender moments backed up by 4 clearly super talented individuals. That's The Way a real highlight
Probably my least favorite Zeppelin album, but of course the worst Zep album is better than the vast majority of albums out there. I feel it opens really strong with Immigrant Song, but then never quite reaches those highs again. Also doesn't include any of my personal all-time favorite Zeppelin songs.
More rock n roll 5/10
Solid, but i’d say its one of the weakest from Zep’s golden age, pales especially to IV and Physical Graffiti.
I'd say 2,5/5 well made and iconic for the genre admirers i guess but absolutely not my style
It’s Led Zeppelin. Solid rock tunes. Not all are home runs like The Immigrant Song.
liked 2 songs- but one of them was tangerine, which i already knew lmao didn’t hate it by any means but didn’t love it and wouldn’t put it on again unless it came on thru a spotify radio or something
The later songs are easier to listen to. The first few songs while rocking are in most cases forgettable except for the Immigrant Song.
I thought led was just one guy 😭 ( super cool creative sound just wasn’t what I’m used to)
7/10 not really my vibe
Obviously a great album with a few other their all time best songs, but other songs are pretty average for LZ.
7/10- I assume I, II, IV, and maybe Physical Graffiti will appear throughout this journey, but it feels odd getting III before all the others. Overall it’s a good album and this album has some great songs. I don’t love Plant and I feel like this album is heavy on it.
I like the traditional, English folk style songs on here. I'm just not a huge Led Zeppelin fan as I can't get behind Robert Plant's voice. Strong 6/10
good
Totally get why this might be seen as a classic. Some of the songs are timeless - Immigrant Song, Tangerine - but when it gets into the more folksy bluesy stuff with the extreme slide guitars I'm just not that much of a fan. All the musicians are prodigiously talented. I could listen to Robert Plants voice all day long, but to be honest prefer when he applies this to his more recent stuff, even his solo work from the 80s really works for me. Undeniably important record (I really like the early synth atmosphere on some of the tracks on the record as well) but it's not all my cup of tea.
Not as strong as II or IV but that’s a high bar to clear. 3.5 Stars
My tia really likes Led Zepplin, so I'm pretty disappointed i didn't like this album as much as I expected. While I enjoyed the instrumentation, I am a vocalist at heart; vocals can totally make or break a song for me. I understand the appeal of Robert Plant's powerful voice but the pitch and tonality totally lose me.
More like Led Zeppelin 3 stars
As a casual fan, I was already vaguely familiar with this record, but I’m more drawn to I and IV. A few great tunes including Tangerine which I’d forgotten about, but too much acoustic fluff.
Not my fav but the acoustic songs HIT
Great first half, but then forgets to be interesting for the rest of it. Wish I could give a 3.5 stars.
Very Zeppelin
I am so surprised I like this record at all. Like, genuinely surprised. I hated Led Zeppelin II and Physical Graffiti and thought they were absolute garbage. So why does this work with me? Who the fuck knows.
I didn’t expect it to be so pastoral after the first song. It almost won me over but the last song seemed really self-indulgent. I never realized how much influence the White Stripes took from this band
Nice! Loved That's The Way :)
a way better album than the previous two. The song tangerine is probably my favorite off this one.
A vibe but not really my vibe, at least the first half anyway. I like the songs that sound like they were made at the beginning of the 1970’s (that’s the way and since I’ve been loving you were personal favourites)
Heard some songs before; 3.5; Not really sure what it is, but this album doesn't do a whole lot for me. After I few listens, I enjoy the songs more and appreciate that there's a little more nuance and variety in the instruments and styles. Also fun every. At the same time, the songs feel a little repetitive within themselves to me. Favorite Track: Out on the Tiles
Tangerine lemppari. Classic rock vähän liian kuivaa. Ehkä paremmilla kuulokkeilla ois pitäny kuunnella?
3.5/4
Not my favorite Zeppelin album but it has some good songs 3.5 stars
favorite - tangerine 7/10
A lot of people rip on this album - it’s not my favorite Led Zeppelin album but certainly not a flop! Though I don’t like Roy Harper. But I love Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
3.6
3.5 Standout songs: Since I’ve Been Loving You, Tangerine, and That’s The Way
Not really my style and would need to be in the mood but still great album!
Liked some songs more than I thought but in general not for me. Think this might be a recurring theme for most of these albums 🫠
Obviously knew immigrant song. Appreciate the chill side of this, some great road trip songs on here. Saved Since I’ve Been Loving You, Out on the Tiles, That’s the Way, and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. I don’t trust them to not be soooo offensive but didn’t listen very closely, so fingers crossed they’re not?
I've just started to expand my music taste from mainstream pop, so getting adjusted to new genres is a task. Therefore, take my rating with a pinch of salt. While I absolutely loved the guitar throughout the album, the vocals were a bit too harsh for my liking. I can see myself appreciating this album 10x more once my taste broadens. Definitely worth the listen.
I mean I added 3 songs out of 10 if that adds to my opinion.I did already have immigrant song and since I've been loving you,pretty peak songs would I listen to the whole album? no probably not
Ehhh it was okay
meh
Acoustic country meets classic prog rock, favourites: immigrant song, since I've been loving you
Not good but not bad 🦭
Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands of all time. While I love most of their output, I have conflicting thoughts on 'III' in particular. The content of this album sounds very inspired and forward-thinking for 1970. Innovative and enjoyable are two very different concepts, however. For example, 'Friends', and 'Celebration Day', the second and third tracks respectively, sound very fresh and quite unique. But they also don't really make me feel anything, which is unlike what I generally want from music. There are exceptions of course, 'Immigrant Song' is just awesome and I love the Norse mythology-themed lyrics. 'Since I've Been Loving You' has a reputation that precedes it, and it is almost as good as people say. Or is it as good as people say? I don't know, it rocks! 'Tangerine' is so damn beautiful. A few diamonds in the rough are sadly not enough to keep 'Led Zeppelin III' from being the worst of the best Led Zeppelin material. At least it's better than 'In Through the Out Door'? Best songs: Immigrant song, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Gallows Pole Worst songs: Friends, Celebration Day, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Abysmal: Hats Off to (Roy) Harper
Much more my style of music, big fan of old Rock. Lots of ones I recognize too. Faves: Immigration Song, Tangerine, that’s the way Least faves: friends, hats of to roy
This is ok, but overall pretty unmemorable. Not really Zeppelin's best, but even not great for them is still pretty good.
Not my favourite Zeppelin album, but see how the link between 1,2 and 3 would make Led Zeppelin 4 the major album it became. Too folky for me, but perhaps the band needed that change from the big bluesy rock of the first two albums? However, as with my previous album, having gone back to it now, I have warmed to it.
I listened to a few of the songs. They were …alright. Not really my style though, might listen again??
Never been a huge fan of Plant’s voice. Favorite two - since I’ve been loving you & bron-Y-aur-stomp.
Understand the talent, liked one of the more soulful tracks, but th rest wasn’t really for me!
It starts off with Immigrant Song and you're like FUCK YEAH...and then you get a bunch of tracks of jaunty bullshit. This album sounds like what a dweeb would say his favorite Zeppelin was.
Middle of the pack Led Zep album. Immigrant song, Since I’ve Been Loving You, That’s the Way are highlights.
It is a kick-ass blues rock album and if it was their debut I would have rated it higher. To me it is a step in the wrong direction from their first 2 albums. There are 3 of my all time favorite tunes from Zep on this album, so great highs, and at the same time a couple of my least favorites are on here too.
I like the cover art a lot. This seems more experimental, I found some parts pretty boring. High 3.
The music is fine, but the whole experience is dominated by Plant' vocals, which are not.
friends is an underrated song
sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit
Led Zeppelin 3 out of Led Zeppelin 5
Not their best, but does contain Since I've Been Lovin You and Tangerine, two of their most underrated
Immigrant song is amazing and such a great way to start an album. I liked the long 6/8 blues jam and the acoustic stuff on the backend but overall considering how well regarded they are, I didn’t connect with this album.
not a fan especially with Leadbelly and blues hard to justify Zeppelin sometimes?
pleasantly surprising, back half gets better after 'since I've been loving you'
Personal note; as a 6 year old my dad put my brother and I in the centre of the lounge and arranged the 4 speakers of his new quad system around us and played LZ2…. LZ3; 1. Immigrant Song 2. Since I’ve been loving you 3. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
I see why they went a slightly different route after this one. It feels a bit forced by round 3 and they are really stretching those last few songs to get in a whole album. Concept became a nice way to redefine this band. It's ok. Fun but a bit forced. That first song fucking rules though.
Favorites: Immigrant Song Friends Since I've Been Loving You
An undeniably phenomenal album opener, and great music throughout. God that voice is grating.
Pretty good but not my favorite by them
Been pretty skeptical about Zeppelin albums with my experiences, mostly due to the length but this was an overall enjoyable projects with some songs I was even able to take away to listen to again in the future.
Country fried Zeppelin. Bouncy. Lighter. Since I’ve been living you swings bluesy and then goes different. Tangerine good.
Still can’t get into Zeppelin Fav songs: Immigrant Song Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#1,066)
Immigrant song is good, the rest is meh
Immigrant Song was good, the rest was a bit dull wasn't it? I only knew Immigrant Song from School Of Rock for the longest time.
A 3 for 3. More acoustic but still rocking. Not my favorite overall of there’s but some excellent tracks
these dudes rock. unfortunately a little frontloaded. peaks with immigrant song, and the back half is some good rock and roll but it doesn't REALLY get me goin
Rating: 6/10 Never heard Led Zeppelin III before (I’m sure we will get every album they’ve ever made on this list). These are decent songs and the album length doesn’t overstay, but I think the band is just a touch overrated for how much they’re revered. Still much better though than all of the classic rock of the next 15 years that they influenced
Immigrant Song goes hard but the rest is a chill banjo sesh as I phase in and out of consciousness to the sound of incomprehensible wailing vocals somewhere off in the distance 6/10
Certainly they have better albums, right? Not terrible though. 6 Lord of Lightning vs the Balrog out of 10 Lizard Wizards
"Tangerine," one of like four songs I can play in its entirety on the guitar. I think at some point I would have lied that this is my favourite Led Zeppelin album. It's not, though I don't know what is. Houses of the Holy? What's the one where Robert Plant goes "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAA"?
Didn’t hit as hard in the backend
Maybe Zeppelin just isn’t for me but I’m glad I know this one start to finish now. Just always a bit one-note.
Bangers only at the beginning but most of the rest was pretty forgettable
I thought we’d already had this but no, we had a different Led Zeppelin album that sounded the same.
Decent 3,5
Strong country and folk inspirations, which admittedly are not my cup of tea. I do appreciate the blues rock on "since I've been loving you". I liked the first half, but from gallows pole onward the country/folk influences take over and I started nodding off. I don't think the singers voice really fits this more quiet style of music I'd give the first half a 4.5 and the second half a 2.5. overall that rounds out to a 3.5. Because i dislike albums that arent cohesive in quality I'll go with a 3. However, I have found some new songs I am adding to my catalogue.
Favorite track(s): Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Gallows Pole Heard before Previous rating: 7/10
Led Zeppelin would be a top tier band if that annoying guy would stop singing and just let the sick guitar riffs flow.
Pretty good, Immigrant song carried
Not my favourite Zep album. Immigrant Song the only real stand out for me. However, worth a listen…
6/10
Not a big fan of rock but I liked Immigrant Song
Not as good as I was hoping for, but still good.
I like this one, but it is not my favorite Led Zeppelin album. I remember my parents having this on vinyl and it being the only LZ one we had so I am very familiar with it, but I prefer II and IV.
Well there’s immigrant song, and I kind of liked tangerine, but as usual I find Zepp just fair to middling. The blues tracks are done better elsewhere and I’ve never been a fan of the vocals. Not worthy of making this list IMHO
Three stars.
Good but some of it is a tough listen
Surprisingly disliked immigrant song the most out of the album. Friends 11/10
eigentlich no kuul, paar bangers, aber teilwiis chli weird oder streng zum lose
I like the Immigrant song. Although I don’t usually like rock, this was very listenable.
I wasn’t that big a fan of the more acoustic tracks
Blues
[6/10]
Thoroughly enjoyable I loved how it seems like every song had a different feel
Listened on my train to Trenton from Norfolk. Started off strong with a song I knew—Immigrant Song. I enjoyed Since I’ve Been Loving You. That’s the Way reads queer tbh. My listening was interrupted by a call from Alyssa. Gonna rate this album a solid 6.5/10.
Not the best Zeppelin, but still ok
Classic rock. I can jam.
Ahh the Led Zeppelin folk album. Some cool songs, some forgettable ones. Overall a good addition to the Zep discography. My left ear really loved that last song.
This is clearly not Zeppelin’s best album, but it’s still a Zeppelin album. 3/5 in my books.
Not my favorite band but a decent album.
'Immigrant Song" is a great thesis statement, "Out on the Tiles" their struttiest, "Tangerine" a sleeper great tune that makes me happy every time I hear it. The maypole folk songs are good, but not what I board a heavy dirigible for. A lot of the rest is nice enough bluesy soundtracky mood pieces I've publicly thought might be Pink Floyd until the vocals hit.
great album
Not my favorite Zeppelin. Though Since I've been loving you and that's the way we're highlights on here that I forgot about. Oh and immigrant song is pretty awesome. One and two and 4 are just so consistent and physical graffiti and houses of the holy also have more bangers.
Cool.
Tsja, ik snap de Led Zeppelin liefde nog steeds niet helemaal. Het is prima? Ik vind dit wel het prettigste album van hun tot nu toe, maar ben nog steeds niet echt weggeblazen. De zanger maakt zich schuldig aan het glam/hairmetal schreeuwzingen van de jaren '80. Misschien is dat wel het punt? Dat ze dit al in de jaren 70 deden? Das knap hoor, en ik hoor hier juist niet alleen maar de pure hair/glam metal. Je hoort ook wat variatie en soms een beetje meer folky muziek? Het is allemaal knap en interessant, maar het is ook allemaal niet heelerg mijn ding. Het is prima. FAVO: Celebration Day, Tangerine
Pretty fun to listen to. The talent behind the group is incredible. Jimmy Page’s guitar playing is a masterclass of music performance, and the roaring drumming of John Bonham never ceases to amaze. That being said, this album isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but I will not deny it is an incredible piece of music.
-this is the second Led Zeppelin album i’ve heard from here this week and i’m not complaining bc shit’s fire. they’re a band that has seriously grown on me and this is another really cool album -i love how Loud and Intense the whole thing is. 3.5 for now but could definitely grow on me more -Favorites: Immigrant Song, Gallows Pole
Jo, ist halt wieder Led Zeppelin und klingt so wie das vorherige Album Led Zeppelin II. Man bekommt was man erwartet oder befürchtet
Schwächer als Led Zeppelin II
It's great.
I’ll just say what I mean and hope it doesn’t come off like it sounds in my head: I’ve never thought of Zeppelin as “cool”, precisely because I most associate the group with people with comparatively low personal grooming standards. As it happens, the only thing that stinks is my attitude. I owe some dudes an apology. “Immigrant Song” is an ice cool blast of proto-Madchester, proto-Beastie Boys white man funk that sounds like a theme tune for a TV show about a superhero with the power to blow shit up just by winking suggestively at it. There’s no guitar solo in that one, which feels like a refreshing bit of restraint from the lads. Conversely, the record’s other highlight “Since I’ve Been Loving You” is effectively an extended, gloriously textured guitar solo. It sounds, for me, like a night spent with a superhero who can blow shit up just by winking suggestively at it. The rest of the record does what Zeppelin does; which is to say – a lot for a lot of people, but not a lot for me. Still, I’m grateful for having had another long held assumption dismantled – Zep’s cool. Wink wink.
classic 3.5/5
It's fine, I dont get the hype.
immigrant song and since ive been loving you are incredible, otherwise it's cool music but nothing special tbh
This album has some great, foundational sounds and iconic individual songs, but I don't think I'd go back to listen to this as an album again. The hit singles off this album shine much brighter on their own than this album does as a collective, not to say that the music itself is bad. A solid listen for one time through, though.
7/10
I have said in previous reviews that I have never really ‘got’ Zeppelin but I actually enjoyed listening to this one. Not the most clever lyrics but sang with feeling to be sure!
I was not looking forward to Led Zeppelin albums. I figured there had to be a few of them, possibly more than a few. The only record of theirs I willingly listened to when I was younger was IV, and I mostly enjoyed it. But I had never gotten into them the way so many people my age did back in the 70's and 80's, constantly hearing the band on rock radio stations (later called classic rock radio stations I suppose). I couldn't stand Robert Plant's screeching voice over bluesy rock riffs. I do like his voice when he's not trying to hit those notes, but it felt like every song was an excuse to get that sound out of him. When this album started I totally felt the same way, thinking I'd be trashing this in my review. But the truth is, I actually liked some of the songs I'd never heard before. They were understated (by their standards) and not just bashing you over the head with the drums, guitar, and that voice. Of the ten songs on the record, I actually liked about five of them. There was only one, Tangerine, that I really enjoyed and would consider listening to again (but not enough to put on a playlist), but they weren't bad. If this is how the rest of their albums go, I guess I'll think they're not too bad and the radio hits were the outliers.
Out of their first 5 albums, this is the weakest out of them all. Sure, it's got some great tracks and some legendary ones, but on the whole, it falls far short of what was given to us in Led Zep IV or even close to Led Zep II's masterful work. 3 out of 5 stars
Not a huge fan of the vocals, but most tracks are nice.
definitely not my fave led zeppelin
J'ai pas été très concentré sur cet album pour être honnête, ça m'a amusé d'entendre le premier titre qui était le générique de Complément d'Enquete ou un truc du genre... "aaaAAAAAH AHHHHHH" 3/5
I like getting the Led out every now and again this is a good album. Nice riffs I like the slow down versions and less manic stuff where Plant shoes off his voice. Not a patch on IV but still a good one.
pretty good
Nothing that Led Zeppelin does is bad, but this isn’t my favorite record of theirs. It starts really strong with Immigrant Song and then kinda just treads water for a while. 3.6/5
Some decent songs and some boring ones
Immigrant Song is a banger, wasn't bothered about the rest really!
I think this rating is just a reflection of personal aversion to rock. Tracks to Track: Immigrant Song
Ihan jees, sieltähän löyty bluesit countryt ja kunnon rokettirollia. Harmi et aika paljo oli kans ihmeellisyyksiä.
Ik blijf het proberen met Led Zeppelin, maar naast de jengelige vocalen, pakken de songs me ook niet zo als ze anderen wel lijken te pakken. "That's the Way" is mooi, desalniettemin.
Revisiting this record after more than 50 years finds that I have moved on way past this classic sound. Immigrant Song is still vibrant, and Celebration Day remains interesting but the rest of this largely folk rock record is, frankly, dull.
I recognize these songs from commercials
Not my favorite band, nor my favorite album from them but still, it's a good classic and I enjoyed the acoustics.
Not my favorite of theirs
Immigrant Song is a strong opener from which it fizzles out and never recovers. If I wanted twangy mandolins and folksy ballads I wouldn't be listening to Led Zeppelin.
I’ve never been blown away by led zeppelin and this is no exception. I enjoyed most of the songs except the closing track, but it’s not somethinf I would come back to. My fave song was tangerine, seemed a bit more intimate than anything else I’ve heard from them. 3/5
Sounds terrific, but doesn't really tingle my jingle, if you know what I mean. Like it's got that special sauce, but what do you expect me to do with it, eat it like soup? 3.5/5
Immigrant song is one of the great Zeppelin songs, though I was surprised how folky and acoustic the rest was. Very nice.
Love Zeppelin but this one was not for me. Take out Immigrant Song and this would get a 2.
Not my favourite Zeppelin album. I liked immigrant song, out on the tiles, tangerine and that's the way. I think the second half was much better or at least what I felt like more.
They might possess some virtuosity but there's no way I'd let these grubby freaks make me a sandwich
they could never make me form an opinion abt this album. deeply unmoved.
Somewhere in the middle as far as Zeppelin albums goes. Not as bad as their last two, not as good as IV, HotH, and the good stuff on PG.
Mein zweites Album der Band. Nach dem ersten Song dachte ich, das könnte überraschend gut werden, aber es fühlte sich dann doch etwas lang an und er schrie mir zu viel. Trotzdem besser als das, was ich vorher hatte. Solide drei Sterne mit Tendenz nach oben.
Starts off strong with Immigrant Song, then kind of loses steam right after. Just ok.
Easy to listen to.
Snelle inhaal review #20: Ik had echt al half een review geschreven voor II, toen ik erachter kwam dat het om III ging, aanzienlijk minder album helaas, maar kan het nu even niet meer loskoppelen, woops.
We beginnen met een bekende banger. Ik vond dit album leuker dan het vorige album die we hebben beoordeeld voor deze challenge. Nieuwe bangers voor mij waren Out on the tiles en That's the way.
джазз не моё
I’ve heard a lot of Zep over the years - mainly just the hits. I figured I’ve heard all the band has to offer: competent rock music, slick execution, tight production. It’s all here on 3. Let it not be said that Led Zeppelin aren’t a great rock act. On listening to 3 for the first time, the above impression holds up. This was good! I enjoyed this more than I had expected to - certainly more than Physical Graffiti. I also admire the balancing on these tracks - especially Immigrant Song. The musical elements are just so distinct. They sound so clear on a nice set of headphones. I love how much energy the band put into their music. Thing is, their songs live and die on those musical elements. Lyrically I don’t get the sense that Robert Plant has a lot of depth as a writer. Immigrant Song is a good case - the song is killer, but the lyrics, while full of evocative references to Valhalla, are all a bit directionless and feel thrown in because they just sound cool. All the aside, it’s a strong 3 for 3. ✨
Honestly I could leave this. I don’t think it’s their best and maybe I’ve just grown tired of Led Zeppelin
A couple of memorable songs and a good blues but not their best
(Immigrant Song ends) YOU LIKE THAT?!!! THEN LET’S GOOOOO!!!! (Gets out acoustic guitar)
Not even in my top 3 Zep albums!
3.5 stars I feel like I’m failing this challenge on some level by not fully appreciating Led Zeppelin. Am I too old to get into them? Should I have gotten into them as a young impressionable youth? Am I just too much a dummy to appreciate the musicianship? Well, anyway, I enjoyed this album but it didn’t set me on fire. Immigrant Song though, what a way to open an album. It’s good every time. My cousin, who is Swedish-Finnish on the other side of the family, said this song makes her think of her people - “we come from the land of the ice and snow” - so now I always just think of her ancestors as marauding Vikings when I hear that opening war cry. The rest of the first half didn’t live up to the excitement of the opening song. I actually really enjoyed the folky country second half.
I liked this more than Led Zeppelin II. It was very folksy, very acoustic, less aggressively horny (as far as i could tell). I think in my review of 2, I said it was the "acoustic" Zeppelin record. I think I got my albums confused. This is definitely the acoustic Zeppelin album and it's better for it. Page really nows how to strum an acoustic guitar. It's so rhythmic and intense. And when he gets the slide going, it's a lot of fun. The Immigrant Song rocks. I hope it's pro immigration. Friends has a great little acoustic riff. Celebration Day has a great little electric riff. Since I've Been Loving You is this massive blues rock epic. I enjoyed it. Gallows Pole has a fun renaissance fair vibe. I dig it. Tangerine is a very pretty acoustic track. Maybe my favourite song on the album? It hints towards Going to California for sure. I didn't know it going into this album. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is a fun driving folk track. Hats off to (Roy) Harper has some wicked slide guitar. The guitar playing in general on this track rocks. Final note: i feel like this review seems very glowing and in some ways it is. But I also found this album didn't really stick with me, and isn't something I'd just throw on. I dunno. Maybe I've changed and Zeppelin is no longer my thing. On paper, it's a 3.5... but i'm going to round down because I struggle to connect to it.
I've rated other Led Zeppelins highly. This really fell apart after Immigrant's Song, which, to be fair, is such an epic knock out with such a long cultural shadow ... 2.5 or so
A side has all of the hits. B side is full of experimental deep cuts that don’t seem to flow well together.
Good album. Never has been my favorite of theirs, though.
Underwhelming. Only one truly great song
A side is good, flip side a bit too folky for my taste.
It got this very 70s sounding rock, which is nice, but there’s something missing for me. Not a huge fan of acoustic music. I love stuff like synthies in the background or whatever, something like that would make it complete in my opinion (but yes I know back then synthesizer were just invented and thus not very widespread…or maybe Led Z. just didn’t wanna use it lol). So yeah… too “acoustic” for me, too little electric sound + a high voice, which is kinda cool, but exhausting at some point.
Tangerine is really the only standout track for me on this one. There are some interesting bits and pieces here and there but doesn't hold up.
If you haven’t heard Les Zeppelin, how could you possibly have enough of a musical background to even find this list? “Immigrant Song” is one of the best rock songs ever. The rest of the album is classic, but loses a bit from the over-played status of Zeppelin.
This was fine. Immigrant song is a classic. The vocals kind of grate after a while. I can no longer listen to Led Zeppelin without hearing Henry Paker's impression
Liked some of the songs, others weren’t mine for sure, but overall liked it.
klasika, bolji nego što se sjećam mada opada malo pri kraju, since ive been loving you dobra ali i dalje malo previše
It’s another Led Zeppelin. It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing.
19/1001 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III Heard before? ✅ Revisit? 🫳 Led Zeppelin III has one of the greatest opening tracks of all time, however I forgot just how top heavy this album is. After Since I've Been Loving You, it kinda all goes downhill for me. Yes, they're experimenting with the sound on the latter tracks, but they don't work for me.
Two favourited songs.
You know what's better than III? IV.
It was fine. I’m not a huge Led Zeppelin fan. Tangerine and That’s the Way were my favorites aside from Immigrant Song which was the only song I knew going in.
It’s ok; def not the best, 2nd best, or 3rd best Zep album…
Kind of subdued
Best rhythm section ever. Guitarist is good but steals all his best ideas. Singer has a hobbit fetish.
I'm 1018 albums deep and these are the bands/musicians this list has failed to make me a fan of: Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, The Byrds. I don't hate Led Zeppelin, they just do nothing for me.
WHAT a way to start an album ‘Immigrant Song’ is. I always preferred Led Zeppelin II as a teen and they’ve fallen by the wayside quite a bit as I’ve grown up. Why do I think this album is acceptable but Deep Purple is not? I appreciate how stripped back it is, it allows its self to breathe a lot more. It really reminds me of later, less garagey White Stripes. They’re both in ‘It Might Get Loud’ so that may be less of a coincidence. This album does drift a bit as it goes on, but I like how’s it not Blues Rock All The Time. it’s not Clapton thank God. There’s one song on here that’s total crap. I like the cover too. 3.
Last time I rated an album I forgot to write a review. Anyway... I tried listening to this 11 months ago (to the day) and I recall not enjoying the first few songs (bar Immigrant Song) and so I came into this with that memory still lingering. Unfortunately, a listen this time didn't particularly change my views of the first few songs (bar Immigrant Song). I think I definitely prefer Led Zepp's folkier stuff, and I figured out I really don't like the blues-y stuff much at all. Too much slide guitar for me to be enjoyable. Was going to be a 2, but I did enjoy the B-side a lot more. But I think there's a reason I hadn't heard of nor listened to most of these songs before. Definitely one of the weaker Led Zepp albums, but still overall a 3/5 stars.
Peaks with the first song
Honestly I was surprised how unimpressed I was with this one when I revisited it. The blues songs, played well of course, are nevertheless somewhat desultory, and the folk-based songs - typically talked about as the defining sound of the record - are a bit hit and miss. It certainly pales substantially versus II and IV, perhaps that its biggest problem.
When Zep officially became “music to play D&D to”
It was fine. I do like “Tangerine” an awful lot.
Liked this but just not connecting with it on the level most people seem to. LZ has all the elements that I should love but I just never want to listen to them. Immigrant song is the clear stand out here but the album never really hits the same height after.
i looooove led zeppelin
Yup, that's certainly another Led Zepp album. I don't know why they don't connect with me. Maybe their omnipresence over the years. Maybe just Robert Plant's voice. Even mentioning Roy Harper's name didn't do it for me. Looking back, I've given two other albums 3 points, and thinking back, I may have been a bit generous.
It's a shame that this album starts with Immigrant Song, because that builds up a lot of promises that the rest of the album completely fails to deliver. A banger of an opener, then a load of acoustic noodling that just puts me off.
