Fantastic start to an album, solid throughout though Im not a huge zeppelin fan this does make me want to listen to more. Best song - Immigrant song
When i saw Led Zeppelin i thought "Yeah! this is gonna be some great Classic Rock!" And it was like Immigrant song kick in the door, screaming the iconic "Aha ahhh Ah" …and then it kinda trailed off. Like they started to mingle with people leaving the door kicked in on the floor. This was the opposite experience to other albums on this where they felt like the were gonna be bad but were good/okey. Really forgettable except for Immigrant song.
Not bad, an interesting fuse of genres and instruments with nice lyrics, but the overall sound of the album, which is ultimately the thing that makes me want the listen to the piece of music, feels a little all over the place, unclear, not really catchy apart from few tracks like the Immigrant Song. Maybe it's because I've listened to it only two times so far so I am not distinguishing the songs much from the other, but generally the album didn't really hit much for me. It was okay, but not really something I'd willingly choose to listen much right now. 6/10
Sweet. Only ever heard Immigrant Song on here. Some good tunes on here, not their best though
I really enjoyed the beginning of the album and was excited to listen through it, but I felt like the back half kind of simmered down and wasn't as enjoyable as the LZ I've come to expect
Interesting music themes and blends of styles in early tracks, but the album trails off slightly towards the end. Unsure I would listen to it in full again but enjoyed it. 3/5
3/5 Fun album. Heavy at the start and felt it petered off at the end. Never thought I'd be a led head
Die Stimme finde ich ganz furchtbar. Der Rest ist cool. Leider singt er fast ununterbrochen 5/10
Ok
Favorite song: Tangerine for the folksy sound
Loved several songs on the album. A couple really great jams. Last song is odd
Great listen. I don't know much Zep besides the hits so this was a nice listen. I found that , one song to the next, generally sounded the same to me - but that guitar playing is off the charts.
I’m working out that my problem with Led Zeppelin is not that I don’t like their music. When I just hear the underlying instruments and melodies I’m quite well disposed towards the music, barring a few really long guitar solos. What I don’t get on with is Robert Plant’s voice. I just find it difficult: not quite grating not quite offensive. Not hateful just unpleasant. But I get why Led Zeppelin are a phenomenal band. Just don’t wanna listen to that voice.
A 3-star rating seems criminally low for this album for this band at this stage in their career, but it reflects my personal relationship to the music — well, hell, I guess that's what this is all about. This record is a leap forward for the band coming off their distinct manhandling of the blues on the first two, there is a lot more depth and strangeness to the compositions and you can hear where Zeppelin is headed next. And "The Immigrant Song" is a classic by the the fifth bar. Sidenote: not that this is some deep revelation, but John Paul Jones is amazing on that song and on this record. But, I never loved the bulk of the tunes on this album... "Since I've Been Loving' You," "Gallows Pole," "Tangerine," and even "Out On The Tiles" — what a riff, but the song as a whole? — they're just not among my favorite Zep tunes. So, of me a 3. I've got other faves in their catalog.
I feel like this album is what separates the true Zep fans from the casual listeners. I'm more of a casual listener. This one's never really spoken to me. I feel like all the elements are there but it's lacking the spark that makes their other albums so special. Some of the songs are great. Immigrant Song is about as great an album opener as there is. But overall, this one's always failed to impress. Today was no different. OTOH, it was nice hearing Zep songs that I hadn't already heard to death. But also, Plant's voice kinda grated on me this time around.
I like Led Zeppelin, but I have realized more and more that I don't like full album Led Zeppelin. I can take them in short spurts but not the whole thing. 3/5
I've heard it a 100 times already. It was a great album 50 years ago. Too much airplay since then. I don't listen to music to recreate my youth.
I liked it. Quite a bit of the merry peasant sort of stuff alongside some good heavy riffs etc. But I can see why IV got more accolades.
some good songs, overall good vibe
ok
General thoughts: The first half is more rock-ish, has very good tunes and its consistent. I love acoustic but the second half, the acoustic part, is not up to the game of the first half. From this half, "Gallows Pole" outstands though I feel it would be better shorter, same thing for "Since I've Been Loving You" from the first half. Also, idk if its my version of the album, but the sound for the voice sounds kinda low, its a bit annoying. Conclusion is they should have stick to rock songs and add two or maybe acoustic tracks, instead of making it a half-half album. Favorite songs: Classic Inmigrant song, & Since I've Been Loving You. Cover: I dont know whats the general consensus about this cover, but in my opinion is raw shit. Other than hippie vibes it doesnt express anything, its not memorable or artistic, looks like a bootleg quality cover. Real rating: 3.15
Rather disappointed in this one. The mix between folk and hard rock in interesting, but many of the songs are so one-dimensional and don't really develop into much more than they start with. Also, the mixing on the final track (in the remaster) is atrocious. 6/10
Immigrant Song Since I've Been Loving You Tangerine
Grandiose Stimme - aber dieses Album? Fünf Jahre später kam das Doppelalbum Physical Graffiti. Das würde ich eher bei den Top 1001 erwarten (vielleicht kommt es ja noch).
Immigrant Song - classic, great opening. Since I've Been Loving You - amazing song, mesmerizing, best on the album. But the rest is really annoying, I felt like they drilling into my skull with this repeatedly high guitar notes.
Cool
Some of Zeppelin's best songs but also some really bizarre stuff like the final track.
69/100
By far their worst. All average tracks aside from the opener.
Cool. Of course.
I prefer IV.
any album where the songs lead into each other i’m gonna eat up every time
Heel cool en diverser dan ik dacht, ergens tussen 3 en 4 sterren.
Led Zep was van vele markten thuis, getuige dit folky album. Blijf het allemaal erg cool vinden!
Altijd goed te doen, die Led-Zeppers.
Best ok.
I had high hopes, especially when you start off with a banger with the immigrant song but nothing else compared.
Samey
Ok but not as listenable as II
If this entire album was featured in School of Rock and sung by Jack Black, I think I would have enjoyed it immensely more. Not terrible, not life changing (besides “Immigrant Song”, obviously). Fav Song: Immigrant Song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Least: Hats Off to (Roy) Harper? I guess
An album that I had a good time listening to, but I dont think I will revisit any time soon. There's some tracks here that I enjoy and have added to some playlists, but as a whole, it's a good, not spectacular, classic rock album.
Not my favourite of the LZ albums
it was good, but not in my type
Starts strong. Immigrant Song is awesome, Since I’ve Been Loving You even more so… shame about all the filler in the 2nd half of the album
Erotic; haunting; electric; Originally recorded in 1970, this album sees the beginning of Led Zepplin's transition from rock into a more folk or eastern-inspired music (with re-recorded orchestration by the Bombay Orchestra, done during three trips to India during 1972, after they finished touring Japan in '71); no studio musicians were used, with only the band's members performing, and expanding their instrumental repertoire with new sounds. Definitely a departure from their prior work, but ambitious and executed extraordinarily well. Standouts: Friends, Since I've Been Loving You, Gallows Pole, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Meh, about the same as the first album
I like how they changed their sound on this album, the blues formula of the previous albums was getting stagnant and the folk-blues-hard-rock mix was nailed almost effortlessly. They would do even better with the next albums, but without the ideas they developed on this they would become very boring very soon. Not a fan of the last song, sounds like a delta blues cosplay. Still, "Since I've been loving you" is easily in my top 5 Led Zep songs. (I don't like numeric ratings, I just give 3 to anyone)
Love immigrant song! That’s about it for this album
Not my Genre... OR SO I THOUGHT! Makes me want to go for a drive in the hot desert sun, windows rolled down, joint in hand, cruising with no fucks left to give. You gotta be in the mood for this though! I like it 3.7
its led zeppelin not my favorite album but nothing bad about it
Some really rockin songs on here, but a lot of duds as well. I didn't expect banjo in a LED zeppelin song, so that was cool
Gotta love led
This was pretty fun. It really made you feel like Led Zeppelin III
The day after, I don't really remember anything about the album. Was fine for casual listening
I don't get a lot of the lyrics but some of the tracks sounded good regardless
can’t do more than one zeppelin song at a time
John Paul Jones is a better bassist than Jimmy Page is a guitarist. In all honesty this started strong and dragged on by the end. Production and performances are incredible as expected but it felt too long and it’s only 40 minutes.
Rating 3.4.
Obviously masterful guitar riffs, Led Zeppelin and I have never quite been in love though this is an improvement over their debut album.
some bangers, B sides weren't great
Enjoyed it, but did not feel it was their best album
Drums are wild Hangman is the beat track.
Led Zeppelin III/V I'm hoping for something different from the other two Zeppelin albums on the list. I was quite let down by the album, surprised by the amount of acoustic guitar towards the end of the album, which I maybe preferred. Tangerine was the highlight, really good song A disappointing mid 3 out of 5
3/5. I’m not into 70s rock whether it be led zepppin or GNR-didn’t age well for me.
# 79 : Good album, 10 solid tracks with killer drums, piercing vocals and searing guitar. Couple of hits, I would definitely listen to it again sometime. Immigrant Song 04/10/2023
It’s Led Zeppelin!
Onko tämä nyt sitten epätasainen vai monimuotoinen? Kelpo levy mutta jää ehkä toisten bändin levyjen jalkoihin. 3/5
Jonkun verran jää II:n ja IV:n jalkoihin tämä. Kärsii epätasaisuudesta vielä enemmän. Immigrant.. ja Since.. toki kovia biisejä.
Tämäkin taas ihan jees jenkkirock-klassikko.
3.5/5
This is my least favorite of the first 4 albums. It feels incohesive and doesn’t have an organized transitional feel from song to song. It feels like this is a collection of b-sides and random parts that didn’t make the other albums and were just jammed together on one record to fulfill the obligation to the record label. There are pieces of brilliant musicianship and iconic pieces scattered throughout but I find myself typically passing this zeppelin album over when flipping through my record collection.
i just dont care
Pretty solid week of music! Zeppelin III surprised me. A lot of acoustic, bluesy, mellow stuff outside of Immigrants Song and Gallows Pole. But once again, surprised how much I did enjoy the listen. My 2 favorites songs off the album are the songs I have mentioned. Both are downloaded and both are bangers. Immigrant Song will always have a special place in the heart as it has become Team SHANKS walk up song in trivia. I would like to take credit for choosing, but credit need to go to the beautiful Mindy. Gallows Pole has always been one of my Zep favorites. Just a solid, great rock out tune. After that there were a few songs surprised me. I really liked Out on the Tiles. Thought the lyrics were great, especially the line All I need is all your love. Amen, brother! Also enjoyed Friends and That's The Way. Maybe after all these years of ignoring Zeppelin due to having them shoved down my throat during my younger days, I am learning to appreciate what they have brought to the table. I sorta cringed when I saw another Zeppelin album, but once again, enjoyed getting reacquainted with some music I figured I wouldn't take the time to listen to again. Good album. A nice mixture of rock and mellow. Added Out On The Tiles and That's The Way to my Zep playlist. I'm going to score a 3.5, but a 3 on the scorecard. Pleasantly surprised, though. 3
LZIII has always been my least favorite of the numbered albums. I think it's a little to folksy and quiet as opposed to the heavy bluesy sound from the first two albums. I'm honestly kind of tired of the hits like Immigrant Song or Gallows Pole, but the deeper cuts like Out on the Tiles still rock. A very nostalgic listen for me but still not my fav. 3
3 Lo and behold, it’s the worst of the numbered Led Zeppelin albums. It’s such a shame too, because this album starts ridiculously strong with Robert Plant’s howling viking battle cries ushering in two and half minutes of some of the most epic rock music ever put to wax - and then nothing after comes anywhere close to it. To be fair, it’s hard for any song to compare to Immigrant Song, but it also doesn’t really seem like they were trying to with the acoustic approach taken on the rest of the album here. That’s not to say Led Zeppelin should have stayed in their lane, as some of their finest moments in the years ahead would come from deviating from their signature heavy, blues sound, and the group would even later prove further prove their acoustic capacity on tracks like Going to California and Hey Hey, What I Can Do, but whatever they were doing with it here just ain’t it for me. I mean, it’s Zeppelin, so it’s not unenjoyable, but I don’t have a ton of praise to hand out either - if I had to pick a favorite out of the rest of the bunch it would probably be Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, but even then it’s far and away from the upper echelons of Zeppelin’s best. Since I’ve Been Loving You is the only other real noteworthy track here with it’s more distinct blues sound, but if I had to pick a ballad by these guys I would definitely opt for something like Babe I’m Gonna Leave You or Thank You over this. Not a bad listen, but never my first (or second, or third, or fourth) pick when it comes to Led Zeppelin albums. Feel like Immigrant Song is more deserving of a feature on one of their better releases, but at least we were fortunate enough to be blessed by its presence at all - even if the song is now associated with my dad’s 10 Street trivia team.
Enjoyable. A bit more folky than some of their other stuff.
I'm not crazy about Led Zeppelin, but there's some nice songs on here. Nothing bad on it really, just some boring stuff. Nothing truly grabbed my attention besides Immigrant Song, but I know that one pretty well at this point. But still, a decent album. My favourite song was Immigrant Song.
Led Zeppelin is one of those bands where I think their most popular songs are often their least interesting. The highlights of this album are The Lemon Song and Ramble On. The transitions from double-time to normal time on The Lemon Song are nearly perfectly in perfect and show that LZ really understands "groove" even if they are just considered a rock band. Ramble On is one the greatest rock songs of all time. JPJ's bass line is like its own melody upon which the entire track rests. The rest of this album is basically unremarkable to me.
3,not because it was a mix of good and bad but because despite being so incredibly boring and bland, it was palatable
Immigrant Song
some bangers some shmangers
Pleasantly surprised by the amount of acoustic guitar. An enjoyable album with unremarkable lyrics.
nice rhythms good guitar lyrics/vocals are meh catchy tunes great guitar.
У лэд зэппелин есть альбомы по-лучше
Some great tunes, lots of filler!
Vraiment plus de classiques sur cet album. Je préfère de loin cet album face au 1er.
Pretty average Zepplin fare. Has some famous songs on it but isn't as good as their better albums
If only Immigrant Song was last, would be a great way to end the album, rather than raise your expectations from the start and fall short the rest of the way
3.5
Good album, but I prefer the rock songs over the acoustic folk songs
Good rock
Very palletable. Not outstanding outside of the hits.
Not a massive Led Zeppelin fan tbh.
3/5 Best: Immigrant Song Worst: Hats Off to (Roy) Harper
It starts off with a bang, but kinda fizzles through side 1. Side 2 is better, but it's not as good as their other albums in my mind.
Not all that big on Zeppelin’s acoustic stuff and that’s the main focus here. There are a couple strong tracks, but they’re not exactly brilliant songwriters and it’s harder to hide when they’re not rocking out. It’s still a solid album, just not their best to me. Best song: Since I’ve Been Loving You
Second listen. I’ve been getting a lot of Led Zeppelin recently. This is my favorite album of theirs.
Never really thought Led Zeppelin was all that great. This album is no exception. I liked "Immigrant Song" (duh) and "That's the Way" which I'd never heard before, so that was a nice surprise. Otherwise it was fairly uninspiring. I feel like I've heard a version of "Gallows Pole" before that I liked, but this wasn't it. 3.5 stars
Not my favourite Zeppelin records. "Since Ive Been Loving You" is the highlight and the centrepiece. Towards of the bottom of their discography for me.
3.5 stars
I like my Zeppelins electrified, and there's not a lot of that going on here. Obviously, 'Immigrant Song' and 'Since I've Been Loving You' are amazing, but stuff like 'That's the Way' is downright snooze-worthy.
It has everything! But I cant give it a 4. My criteria for that is that I would select it for my own consumption. But I can understand higher ratings.
A band in transition but some great tracks for 1970 and not what everyone expected.
III isn’t as good as some of the other albums but definitely classics on here
Bundsolidt, hard rock, 70’er
3,5
Haven't listened to this in ages, guess it's time to get the Led out!
Pretty good
Decent
aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA a Doesn't hold up as well as I remember. Zep definitely fixed their folkier sound with the next album. Also is it just me or is immigrant song like so much lamer than if should be.
This one seems to be one of the greatest ROCK-albums of all time, but for me still sounds like a guitar-driven country album, and i'm not a cowboy to listen to that.
Good classic, but I still shifted over to Jimi before the album was over
Short and sweet, it's alright, but not too many bangers on this one
One good song here, and somehow there was actually one or two bad ones in there as well. One of the lesser of led zeppelins discography but the fact that I still think it's a 3 is a testament to their skill in my opinion
It's Zep. Not for me and the riffs, while great, just feel overrated.
Led Zeppelin III is the third album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. This album continued the band's tradition of playing all the instruments themselves, but there was a slight shift from hard rock to primarily folk rock. This shift at first confused critics and affected the album's reviews and initial sales, but since has been seen as an important turning point in the band's music. Led Zeppelin III has been certified 6x platinum in the US. This was a great album - especially the opening track "Immigrant Song" - and it's psychedelic, folksy rock music made my work day just a little better. Led Zeppelin was in their prime for this album.
I was excited to hear this one, but I was a bit disappointed. Only a couple of songs I really liked (Immigrant Song and Out On the Tiles). Too much acoustic stuff and not enough drums for my taste.
Guitars are clearly the star of the show, wish the vocals were turned up a bit though.
Safe to say upfront that I am not a fan of Led Zeppelin‘s particular take on 70s drug filled machismo rock and after listening to the first half of this album, I felt my preconceptions were warranted, but I have to say the second half of this album surprised me and is actually pretty good. Several songs I have not heard and honestly I felt like I was listening to something more current à la Jack White and all of his projects. I might even relisten to a few of these tracks. Overall glad I checked it out.
A classic. This is not my favorite album from Led Zeppelin, and often when I hear something that deviates from hard rock or bluesy rock, the magic of the band is not there, is an avg album with two or three gems.
Good but I dont like Led Zeppelin that much
I get everything: how people love this band, the influence they had on my favorite bands and how necessary their existence is but yet, I wouldn't choose this for myself.
More folky than I expected, not really for me
Kind of expecting more from this the way it starts with "Immigrant Song". The rest is boring in comparison.
When I was a kid, I had a friend whose dad had a record player in his bedroom. If his dad would pop out to run an errand or whatever, me and my friend would go to his bedroom and queue up "Immigrant Song" over and over again, and get genuinely freaked out by it. Listening to it now, it no longer has the same effect on me, but I'd imagine, back in 1970, that song gave plenty of people the shivers. Beyond "Immigrant Song" and "Out On The Tiles" though, this album leans into a more folky and/or blues sound that doesn't do all that much for me. I want my Zeppelin ripping heavy.
They are all "good songs" but most of the songs on III aren't as interesting as other Led Zeppelin hits. Immigrant Song is iconic though.
Ok, one of the 5 or 6 Led Zeppelin albums I am to be treated with during this process. As far as I remember from the other Led Zeppelin "numbered" albums, this is the one where they kind of broadened their palette, with Immigrant Song being the opening track , a classic Led Zep stomping track, then, right afterwards things start becoming somehow interesting: Friends introduces an acoustic guitar and some percussion instruments that are not the usual pounding drums in a sort of trippy-hippy haze. On Celebratory Day we have something that sounds like a synth (mellotron maybe?) and a slide guitar, fast paced but uselessly loud. Since I've Been Loving You white blues is a hard pass but the Hammond organ is a nice touch, always thought that John Paul Jones was underrated as a musician. There is a banjo on the more folk/traditional oriented Gallows Pole, and That's The Way is a nice acoustic piece of music, although this one along with Tangerine remind me too much of Baby I am Gonna Leave You from their first album. It is admirable how, despite their music being so rooted in traditions, they still managed to sound new at the time, and I understand that. I can also see how the band, along with Black Sabbath, was influential on the whole heavy metal genre; I can also see how the skillful playing might be exhilarating for some, but the whole chest-beating attitude and the somewhat (at least to my today's ears) conservative ideas behind their music, the feeling that, although they were trying to improve on their formula, as far as I can tell, I, II, III, and IV sound like the same album over and over again, all of this together is personally a turn off for me.
Not my fav but good.
it's ok
Hate to say it but not my favorite from zep. In fact don’t really like this album. I know that’s a very unpopular opinion, but it’s too rock for me. I like that slower, psychedelic rock feel from them. Still all time great band if not the best.
“ I'm talking about bands that rock. Led Zeppelin. Don't tell me you guys never got the Led out. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant? Ring any bells?” - Jack Black as Dewey Finn pretending to be Ned Schneebly in School of Rock The first half of this album has a few absolute bangers (Immigrant Song and Since I’ve been loving you) but also a few tracks that are excessively noisy and not that interesting. The second half is much more consistent and really pleasant.
Rock for the 70s and beyond
Better than the last one. I still don't get all the hype.
A lot folkier, more acoustic. Still has the bluesy feel. I'm still not the world's biggest fan of Robert Plant's horny yowl. Album is a little front-loaded, too. Favorite tracks: "Immigrant Song", "Celebration Day"
They go too folky on this one
Never was my favorite Zep album—sorry! I know critics love this one but the debut has always been my go-to, along with 4. I was never a fan of acoustic music, and that sound doesn't really do Zep any favors here. Friends is forgettable, That's the Way is downright a *skip*, and Hats off to Roy Harper is borderline cultural appropriation (but really, isn't most of their work?) Since I've Been Loving You is the real stand-out here for me, followed by Immigrant Song and, funnily enough, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp (I just want to hug a dog whenever I hear it, y'know?)
A little all over the place in genre for my liking. There are some individual songs I quite like on the album, even outside of the obvious Immigrant Song as the incredible kick-off. But I don't know that I like them together. Way more bluegrass/folk than I expected, but that could be from just knowing LZ's hits rather than listening to their full albums usually. All in all a mixed bag, but not for me.
6/10
Every single song sounded too similar. They weren't super bad, but it got pretty boring after awhile.
Posjedujem vinyl - od oca u moje ruke. Od svih Zeppelina što se tiče od I - IV, ovo mi je najslabiji. Znam da sam prošle godine imao slušaonu 80% njihove diskografije i tako mi je došlo da mi je ovo najslabiji naslov od te kvadrologije.
1 and 2 were better for me. Still some great songs on here. Stand out track - Since I've been loving you
I think they're just going to include all of the led zeppelins this one wasn't very strong although it started with immigration song
A few classic tracks on this one, but definitely one of my least favourite Led Zeppelin albums overall
Fine
Not bad but nothing amazing, first song gives you high expectations and it never really delivers on it.
Love Led Zeppelin but III happens to be one of my least fave albums. Starts out insanely strong with Immigrant Song and then I just lose interest. Great band, great album but not for me.
It's Zeppelin. It's good music. I don't enjoy as much as I used to though. Still a good album.
Better than some of the others and a great opener. Still not really the most amazing rock band in the world to my ears.
other than one nothing stood out to me
Wel wat nummertjes van opgeslagen. Heeft wel mijn interesse voor Led Zeppelin gewekt
Love Led Zeppelin and enjoyed the album. 2 great tracks the rest was alright but 3* seems fair.
Good. Not their best.
A little too much twangy guitar in places
Acoustic hard rock
I think of the numbered Led Zeppelin album this is probably my least favorite. "Immigrant Song" is such a strong opener, but other than "Since I've Been Loving You" the rest of the album falls somewhat flat for me. I know that'll disappoint any hardcore Zeppelin fans but oh well.
- Immigrant Song is a classic obv - Since I've Been Loving you dragged for me, Out on the Tiles picking it back up in a way i like though - don't like the panning at the beginning of Gallows Pole one bit, it feels really unbalanced, liking the song overall though - the panning on Hat Off to (Roy) Harper too?? why is it so weird overall impressions: i like led zepplin but wasn't familiar with most of these songs. enjoyed the overall album but probably not going to go back and listen to it anytime soon.
Långt ifrån dåligt, men jag ser inte storheten.
Couple of good songs. Not my favorite.
i wanted more acustic some rlly good ones, but i felt like it was a blur
Immigrants, coming here from a land of ice and snow, singing their songs, driving their ships to new lands...
nominative determinism FTW
Niet m’n fav zeppelin
Not my fave Led Zeppelin album
Bron y ar stomp oli uusi ja positiivinen ylläri. Immigrant song tietty hieno. Mutta ei muuten juuri kolise.
Heard it before?: No but have heard a few from this before Enjoy it?: Yes, the pacing of each song and vocals really compliment each other Favourite song: Track 1 - Immigrant Song
This wasn’t their best work, in my opinion. Some of their songs were mediocre. It wasn’t bad, but they’ve done better.
Incredible opener, everything else was just ok to me. Album Cover: I like it a lot 4/5
More mellow than I was expecting, apart from Immigrant Song. Pleasant to listen to, not sure I'd go back and listen again though.
Pas leur meilleur, mais assez varié comme album! Pas juste du gros rock. Immigrant Song est iconique, et j'aime bien Tangerine!
Not my favourite led zeppelin but still an enjoyable listen. Fav song: Tangerine
Seems fine. Do people like Led Zeppelin or something? 3/5
Made no impression
Enjoyable album. Like Immigrant Song and Tangerine along with the last couple of closing tunes.
I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin, but I really enjoyed the variety and production of this album.
Yeah was good some heavy hitters like immigrant song. Heavy sounds and screaming vocals
needed another A+ song like Immigrant Song for a 4
p204. 1970. 3 stars This is going to be unpopular opinion, but I don't think Robert Plant can sing. He sounds like a castrated bullock that has inhaled helium. It's like a weird high tone yelling. Combine that with the 7+ minute wankage that is "Since I've Been Loving You Too Long" and it makes your ears bleed. Shame, because there are some good songs on this, the rest of the band are on form, and Jimmy Page seems quite a good guitarist.
Led zeppelin II was better xD
Dad dock, my dad unironically loves Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song, Celebration Day and Since I've Been Loving You are bangers, don't really care for the rest of the album, the closing track especially is somewhat grating
its chill but nothing i would listen to
ok, prefer the latter half
Started out hot, nothing really of substance that caught me in the end
Good start. Lost interest.
It’s taken me a long while to realise this but Led Zeppelin are overrated.
I don't think I'm a big Led Zeppelin fan. They have a few songs that really resonate with me, but their sound is the prelude to the 80s rock bands that I'm definitely not a big fan of. This album has decent songs and is influential, but I can't say I completely enjoyed it. P.S. Since I've Been Loving You seems like a good rip-off of I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know by Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Best Songs: Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine Worst Songs: Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, That's The Way
Good. And that’s what they needed, validation from me. I’m glad I could oblige. Perhaps their career will take off now? Who knows.
too bluesy for me to be great
Immigrant Song one of my favourites ever. Rest was a little less exciting.
Not my favorite of theirs and overall not terribly cohesive, but it’s got some great tracks “Since I’ve been Loving You,” Gallows Pole.
The fourth Led Zeppelin album we've had. I still highly respect their musical legacy but have very little interest in actually listening to them. While loving the style they were at the forefront of, I just find LZs songwriting extremely unexciting and rather dislike the singer's voice.
This is probably one of the weaker Zeppelin albums but it still has Immigrant Song which is a classic.
A collection of belter classics and a few album fillers imho.
Oh what an age it must have been! Talent just kind of found each other and made the soundtracks of a generation. These guys were good
Like this one, Immigration Song a classic of course. Jimmy Page guitar workis of course awesome. Some tracks were filler in my mind
Led Zeppelin classic rock but so many of the songs on this album sounded so similar it's a little tiresome. I started to listen to this album while at work and doing some paperwork but it was not conducive to getting my work done. I later listened to it while I walked and it was better walking music.I know it's their style and it is classic but I'll just listen to this every decade or so.
This was... okay... Everyone obviously knows Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You is a great slower song, and I really like the gentle sound on Tangerine. But, as a whole, it's not super gripping - I expect we've got better LedZep to come... 3/5.
Immigrant song is a standout. Mostly derivative blues, shines when they pull out their cock and balls and rock out.
Not my favorite of theirs but still great
Not one of my favorite bands by any stretch of the imagination, but there are some really good moments here. The last three songs prevents this from getting a 4.
2.5
Cool
ok, so a whole album redeems them a tiny bit for me, this was a fun listen
funky, fast paced, decent. -1 star for being straight people but idk if thats really fair
my favorites were immigrant song, out on the tiles, tangerine, and since i’ve been loving you. i really loved the instrumental in these songs, and i loved how much variation the album had.
The Weeknd n'a rien inventé avec son dernier album en invitant Jim Carrey sur la plupart des interludes. L'album Led Zeppelin III en est forcément l'inspiration principale tant les apparitions ponctuelles de Nikos Aliagas sont pertinentes. Le CD commence en trombe avec un « Salut, c'est Nikos ! » qui donne le ton. « Au sommaire de ce 50 minutes inside, des stars qui prennent de la drogue et qui achètent des grandes maisons. » enchaîne-t-il alors qu'on entend la voix de Robert crier « aaahaaaaa » dans le fond du studio. Tout est calculé pour passer un excellent moment.
classic. great rock album
I already knew a couple of these songs (and like them), but I don't think I'd go back and listen to this album start-to-finish again. Some of the songs got repetitive for me.
Great album but as far as Led Zeppelin albums go this one is one of their lower ranked ones. Immigrant song is a classic but the rest of the album is more a showcase of instrumentals than their first two albums. Still a good album but led has made much better. 7.5/10
I like Tangerine.
It's Zeppelin, man. That's all you need to know. But really, I'd say this is a solid record but it's not their best. I mean of course Immigrant Song and Tangerine are classics, but some other tracks fall short. One of my favorite things about Led Zeppelin is (of course) Jimmy Page. His guitar work is what brings me back to Zeppelin time and time again. This album seemed to have some standout acoustic arrangements, and acoustic Zeppelin is pretty great. Decent record, but not enough killer tracks to be "great" in my book.
Decent album. Some great choons but all gets a bit samey, bit dates, heard it so many times. Not one I’d keep going back to
More Zep before some Zappa! K. Top rated album named three gets three.
King Zeppelin, dock ett av deras svagare album. Inget kalasfan utöver en handfull låtar. Föregås av ett bättre album och följs upp av ett bättre album.
Var faktiskt rätt bra.
quite ok
Perusrokkia, annetaan nimensä mukaisesti kolmonen. Ei minun mielestä mitään erityistä klassikkomatskua.
Tällainen rockijurnuttelu ei ole oikein oma juttuni, eikä genren legendoihin kuuluva bändi tee kovinkaan suurta poikkeusta. Varmasti aikanaan tämä on ollut kovinkin edistyksellistä, ja soundit ovat edelleen varsin kelvolliset. Kappaleet ei vaan ole erityisen hyviä tai mielenkiintoisia. Juuri ja juuri kolmoseen tämä nousee.
Okay I can finally say I listened to Led Zeppelin and I mean cool I guess. Since I’ve been living you is the best track on here.
Dexent
Some great songs, some not as great songs. Solid
Ahjo.
I liked Led Zeppelin II. This one, not so much.
Best thing about this one is the acoustic arrangements…2nd favorite LZ lp.
Solid
El patito feo de los primeros discos de Led Zepp. Hay que tener en cuenta que fue su tercero en sólo dos años, pero siempre he tenido la sensación de que no hubiera cambiado mucho la película si este disco no hubiera salido o lo hubiera hecho en forma de caras B. Personal: 6. Es divertido, pero se me hace un poco bola. Trascendencia: 3. Led Zepp los tiene mucho mejores, tanto de hitazos (Led Zepp II, IV) como discos de culto (Physical Grafitti). Género: 5. De nuevo, los mismos Led Zepp los tienen mejores
Immigrant Song is really good but the rest isn't really my cup of tea - nothing else that stands out to me
This is what I'd call a solid 3.5. Plenty of solid riffs as is to be expected of Jimmy Page and a number of songs that I could happily tap along to but outside of Immigrant Song, there's nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately since it can't be a 3.5, it's a 3.
6/10
Started off with such a banger, but then was pretty meh throughout. Definitely lifted from a 2 because of Immigrant Song, but wouldn't give anything else on the album another listen.
Not my favourite Zepp album
Was always more familiar with IV and House of the Holy cause that's what my dad had on vinyl growing up. This album is fiiiine. Drags a bit after the first few, then gets going again with Gallows Pole. Album stays interesting after that, but I feel it really rides on the strength of the openers. Or maybe I just wasn't in a Zepp mood.
Minder fan van dit iets kalmere album van Led Zeppelin. Immigrant song is wel top
Good listen couple of foot stompers in there 3.5
Not their best, but there's not a bad Zep album.
Immigrant song is great, and there are definitely a couple of other enjoyable songs on the album (Friends, Tangerine, That's the way, Bron-Y-Aur stomp). However, none of them really grab me (besides the opener). So, regrettably, it's 3.5 stars from me (3 in the rating since I'm not likely to put the entire album on again).
3.5 stars
Levynä ihan ok. Kun ei ole varsinaisesti fani niin joku best of -levy voisi nousta viiteen tähteen, tämä oli vaan ihan ok.
Ei tää ollenkaan huono levy ole, mut I ja II asettanut riman, niin korkeelle, et 3* maksimi mitä voi antaa
Less driving than their debut and the intricacies didn't grab any particular part of my brain.
Some classical songs but also some less interesting songs, should have listened more but like the later LZ more.
I never found Zeppelin particularly attractive musically. But you have to admit they brought attitude to the table. I prefer the first album. It’s nice they championed Roy Harper.
Starker Blues-Anteil (speziell klassisch „Since I’ve Been Loving You“) in einem ansonsten recht wummernd-treibenden Stück Rock aus dessen Blütezeit. Personal Highlight: „Friends“. Homer Simpson bangt mit weniger als 3 Härchen - mir egal: 3.3
Keiner kann die Kickdrum besser als John Bonham (generell kann kaum einer besser als John Bonham). Aber ansonsten: Ah, die Mega-Unsympathen Page & Plant mal wieder am schwer machen dran, ihre Musik, die man ja wegen ihrer beschissenen Voll-Toxizität so gern scheisse finden möchte, auch angemessen scheisse findet. Geht bei mir leider nicht so richtig, die können halt wirklich was und ich mag auch Songs wie That's The Way wirklich gern, obwohl Bonzo da ja nicht mal drauf zu hören ist. Naja, trotzdem kann ich mich immer drauf rausreden dass Bluesrock nicht wirklich meins ist, jedenfalls nicht dauerhaft. Mögen meine 2,7 Punkte Plant in den Arsch fahren und an Pages Eiern wieder rauskommen.
Starts off with such a bang (Immigrant Song) and then never really reaches that high again. Just OK for me.
This album definitely shows a different side to Led Zeppelin. A little more country...
More classic rock, not as good as II. Still gets a slightly generous 3, rather than a harsh 2.
Immigrant song! Others kinda merged together
Probably the weakest of the first 4 albums, but definitely one of their more interesting ones. Feels like a transition, figuring out a new style that they would do a great job incorporating back into their blues rock sound in IV.
Die Ansätze von Metal reichen mir nicht
3.5-4, 7/10 unfortunetly im 19 and cant relate to boomer music mixing hillbilly music with boomer rock is good tho OWO
Listening to this album I get a sense of the pressure on bands to produce a big hit single - as my co-judge says, she wanted to hear Immigrant Song, so she had to buy this album. After the hit, you get a deep dive into acoustic bluesy numbers that sound, at times, like demos. The band gets to indulge a bit, it’s good for the Zep aficionados, but for the rest of us, this pales in comparison to the LPs that came before and after.
I tend to avoid over hyped bands so I’ve never actually listened to this album. Must concede that there are some good tracks here, but Plant’s piercing screams are a bit much, especially when he does his “ooooooohhhh, baaaaby!” yell. Better than I expected though and these boys do indeed have talent so it gets a passing grade from me.
It's Led Zeppelin. Album has a few top tier songs, but the rest is more just okay. What I want to know is why this album is on here of all LZ albums (unless there are more for some reason?).
Not bad
Jag förstår att det är en klassiker och den har några bra låtar. Men den känns ganska "meh" i övrigt.
Listened to the remaster while working. Weird Mix, but might be the headphones. Underrated guitar solo in Celebration Day Out of the Tiles is a potential backyard jam. Tangerine chorus is a vibe.
"Immigrant Song" is a great way to start an album. The rest of the album wasn't familiar to me. "Tangerine", "That's the Way", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" are probably worth a re-listen, but the album as a whole was only okay.
meh
Definitely not bad, got some iconic songs onthere like immigrant song, and since I've been loving you was a long acoustic piece out of the ordinary. My favorite was Friends, which was a new track for me.
Overall the quality of the music is poor however there are a couple of great songs that I enjoyed within the album that barely scrape it to a 3.
I've heard the immigrant song before, a jam. Not my favourite but good. Friends is interesting. Growing on me, very special. Celebration Day is funky too. Since I've Been Loving you is a little jazzy. I didn't expect that, it's nice. Fulfills the word loving in the title. ---- The track organisation for this album appears random so far. The songs don't connect or flow. I haven't paid much attention to the lyrics though. Out on the Tiles is coo-ool. Sidewalk sound. Tangerine opening reminiscent of the Beatles Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is eh but good for background
This is a classic album... Love it, another known to me :)
Great album. Not putting as much effort into this review as everyone else seems to have given up. Not my favourite Led Zep record by a long way but still a lot of great songs here.
i mistakenly remembered this one as the worst of the bunch. its not. it was surprisingly enjoyable. not quite so much of that famous plant whines about babies.
Es un buen álbum aunque hay una que otra canción que era algo aburrida, es ese tipo de canción que pondría de fondo en alguna platica, pero no para escucharlas en si, a excepción de las canciones que más me gustaron. No tenia idea de que Inmmigrant song pertenecía a ellos. Canciones favoritas: -Inmmigrant song- Remaster - Since I've Been Loving you -Out on the tiles Canciones que no me gustaron: - Hats off To (Roy) Harper
Tengo una opinion bastante variada sobre este album, en muchas de sus canciones me encontraba bastante aburrido, sentia como si fuera musica de fondo o si se estuviera repitiendo la misma cancion, pero esto cambiaba con canciones especiales, donde me encontraba asombrado y con ganas de cantar o bailar. En conclusion siento que el album es salvado por algunas canciones, pero en comparacion a eso las que restan se me hacen bastante mediocres. Canciones Favoritas: That's the way Since I've been loving you Immigrant song Out on the Tiles Tangerine Canciones que menos me gustaron: Hats off to Harper
Immigrant song is uiteraard top. Gallows pole heeft ook wel wat. Veel andere zijn wat te hard
Like the first half of this album a good bit more than the second, and think I was more interested in the individual songs than the album as a whole. Still, I'm excited to get and listen to more Led Zeppelin in the future Already Saved: Immigrant Song Saved After Listening: Friends, Since I've Been Loving You
gonna be honest did not make it through this album since i've been loving you is good and some of the guitar parts are cool but: i do not like boomer music this album did not change that
Will always have a soft spot for Immigrant Song. Listened to this album a lot in 7th grade. As a whole, III lacks cohesion and lulls, especially when placed next to I, II, and IV. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is a highlight I'd forgotten about, though. The last track's steel guitar (I think?) is fun too
folksy rock. didn't resonate with me
The weakest of Led Zeppelin's four self-titled albums. "Immigrant Song" is one of my least favorite songs on the album and definitely my least favorite Zeppelin opening. The punchy parts of the music feel less powerful on this album. In a lot of cases, they just disappoint (like on "Celebration Day" and "Out on the Tiles", which both feel diminutive and repetitive). The softer sounds of the album are a mixed bag. "Friends" is utterly forgettable, toned down to the point of the drone of Plant's admittedly beautiful vocals but with little else to occupy the attention. That being said, the highs on this album are what should be expected from Zeppelin. "Since I've Been Loving You" is the first truly good song on the album, and it is one hell of a song. The centerpiece of the album (both sonically and emotionally), Plant is at his very best as he shouts and sputters through, over, and under the banging drums and sharp guitar. Utterly mesmerizing. The final three songs on the album almost succeed in matching the heights of "Since I've Been Loving You". "That's The Way" is one of the acoustic songs that realizes its potential; it is astounding (amplified by the fact that it follows "Tangerine"). Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is incredible fun and the repetition never grows dull. "Hats off to (Roy) Harper" is shocking; it captures the beauty of those early blues recordings whose crackling and cuts seem to come alive. If "Since I've Been Loving You" is Zeppelin's very best extrapolation of blues on this album, it's fitting that the second best song here so perfectly captures the uniqueness of early blues. If it were only these two songs the album would deserve a 5. However, they are weighed down by the failings of the rest of the album.
Disappointing,not as good as I and II
"Immigrant Song" / "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" Released: 5 November 1970
Immigrant Song. though the rest really feels like a southern rock/blues record. Plant has some cool vocal lines. a solid record but its not really a zepplin one that i like
Not my fav LZ album, too folky but some pretty songs. 3.5
Really enjoyed it
Classique. Correct mais je l'écouterais pas tout le temps. Mais très bon.
Folkish at times, classic riffs all the way, and Plant's voice. Plant makes it all worthwile.
Classic hard rock - so comprehensively influential that it's kinda washed out by everything that came after it. Fave track - "Immigrant Song", c'mon. "Gallows Pole" is great too, though
Okay Zeppelin album. Only the real one banger tho
Meh. Not great. Just immigrant song and tangerine.
Not my fav Zep
Some nice acoustic stuff
Need to revisit soon
I want to like it a lot more than I do. Lots of good: I loved Immigrant Song. Some cool interesting music in Friends and Celebration Day. Good catchy riffs in Out on the Tiles. Gallows was weird but grew on me. Tangerine was nice. There are things I like in every song but for some reason the sum of the parts (the album) just doesn't come together for me. I've never liked bluesy LZ songs and still true (but I've never liked the blues). Would rather hear Joplin sing those types of songs. A full album of his voice was too exhausting -- especially during the slower folksy songs. I can't watch cartoons for more than 20 minutes due to the voices and this was like listening to a cartoon character sing to me. I like that people like them and I see the value but can't imagine wanting to put this on again.
starts off very strong with immigrant song but tbh i don't really remember the rest other than it's good background music
Starts off brilliantly - then some good bits, other bits a bit dull - the folky bits.
"friends" has a spooky background and i love it!!
I didn't hear too much that was groundbreaking. Maybe I expected too much? Still, I enjoyed it. 3.5, not yet a 4.
1970. Key Songs: Immigrant Song, Celebration Day, Tangerine
pity 2 star for immigrant song and last song but this is not my type of music
A band I've heard of but never listened to. Not bad, but not one I'll seek out again in future, probably. Also I maintain 3 min 30 seconds is the longest a song should be. 7 minutes? C'mon guys, that's just EXCESSIVE.
It comes out hard at that start and peaks there. There’s nothing massively interesting past that compared to many of their other songs.
First, I am just not a Zep fan. Immigrant song is amazing but the rest of this album is a low point compared to other albums by them.
Obviously it's good and ahead of its time and immigrant song is amazing, but you can't just give me every zeppelin album. They just aren't THAT incredible or different from one another.
guitar heavy, interesting political themes, blended rock blues and folk, crazy instrumentals first title named 'immigrant song' - ' will drive our ships to new lands' don't know how in love I am with white old guys commenting on ethnic struggle but who knows. track 2 'friends' - long strumming, interesting tempo, not my fav kind of eerie COOL ASS BLEND INTO TRACK 3 track 3 'celebration day' - hype as fuck, cool loopy guitar, fun and energetic 'my my my im so happy im gonna join the band, we are gonna dance and sing in celebration, we are in the promised land.' track 4 - since ive been loving you - ooo that a intro guitar is smooothhhh as fuck damn, loving this slower smoother vibe, 'ive been working from seven to eleven every night, I said it kinda makes my life a drag drag draggg', 'but baby since ive been loving you, im bouta lose my worried mind.' reallyyy loving this cant lie SAIDDDD IVE BEEN CRYING, oh my tears they fell like rain DAMNNNNN that was smooth, super interesting chord progression love some blues n rock blend track 5 'out on the tiles' - ok groovy, out on the town, I like it, think this would grow on me track 6 'gallows pole' - also groovy, lyrics are interesting, feels like a bargaining of some sort, asking for a friends help??, hangman as in hanging?? bargaining for his life, cool story, don't know how much I like/resonate but definitely interesting track 7 'tangerine' - ooooo very pretty guitar in the beginning, does she still remember times like these, to think of us again, and I doooo, and sick guitar bridge, beautiful track 8 'thats the way' - light airy feel, like childhood;I cant play with you no more, I don't know how im gonna do what mama told me, my friend, the boy next doorrrr, 'and yesterday I saw you standing by the river, and weren't those tears that filled your eyes, and all the fish that lay in dirty water dying, had they got you hypnotized??' wow 'and yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, BUT ALL THAT LIVES IS BORN TO DIEEEE' wow this is pretty lyrically beautiful, the outro instrumentals are so perfect track 9 'bron-y-aur stomp' - cool strumming to start off, gradually gets heavier more substantial, adds in a nice drum beat, oooo groovy as fuckkkk, 'hear the wind whisper in the trees, telling Mother Nature bout you and me', this is nice and fun track 10 'hats off the (roy) harper' - ok funky instrumentals, idk how I feel about it to be honest, not my favourite, 'no brown skinned woman gonna make no monkey outa me??? excuse you????' OVERALL : id say track 7 8 and 4 rly stood out to me, and I may revisit those songs, overall the album didn't really resonate with me, I found it relied on strong instrumentals (which I enjoyed) but wasn't lyrically focused which is something I usually gravitate towards, the style isn't my cup of tea and I don't think I connected with the album as a whole
The one with the Immigrant Song
Yeah, never really got the Led Zeppelin thing
Seriously why does he sing like that
