Reviews (page 14 of 15)
Seems fine. Do people like Led Zeppelin or something? 3/5
First Zeppelin album, Favorite track: Since I've Been Loving You, 80/100
Not quite on the level of IV but still tons of great singles and deep cuts
Made no impression
Led Zeppelin is timeless and perfect. Could not make this album if you tried.
This is one of those albums I know really well even though I never intentionally listen to it. I must admit, I just don't get why this is so beloved. I don't hate it but I find it a bit of a sleeper.
Really enjoyed
Since I’ve Been Loving You. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Immigrant Song was good. The rest of this reeks of stealing from black musicians. With some cool riffs, I will admit. But yeah. Won't be revisiting most likely.
Rock de Led Zeppelin. Un megahit. Un 4.
Tiene dos canciones que me gustan mucho (Inmigrant Song, Tangerine), pero otras no.
Not my favorite so far between the three. Still good shit tho! Fuckin page and his underage girlies. Lots of jams but nothing caught my ear except for their big ones on this album
My first favorite album. So amazing and timeless.
Enjoyable album. Like Immigrant Song and Tangerine along with the last couple of closing tunes.
Episch, allerdings etwas ruhiger als ich erwartet hatte. Insgesamt klasse Werk!
"Tangerine" suivi de "That's the Way", c'est les émotions....
je peux malheureusement affirmer que Spotify n'a PAS enlevé la feature qui lance les albums en aléatoire
Classic, used to be one of my least favorite Zeppelin albums, but loved it this time.
This is an inferior led Zeppelin album. In my mind it doesn't come anywhere close to I, II, or IV. I don't know how many led Zeppelin albums are going to be on this list, but it surprises me that this one is.
I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin, but I really enjoyed the variety and production of this album.
I do not like Led Zeppelin.
I’m with Brenda from Bristol on this. About as entertaining as the other one that’s already been from this list.
I approach Led Zep with dread. I feel like they're a band that I should know inside out. Album after album of classic recordings, all part of our shared history. But I'm always too scared, not knowing where to start and what I might find. The band have been elevated to God like status. Gawd knows why. This just droned on and on. It picked up a little around the more folky moments. But it wasn't for me. Oh well. That's one more band not to waste my time over.
Another chance to drag out some vinyl and listen to it, a nice reissue gifted to me by my brother long ago, complete with the recreated spinning image wheel. Zeppelin goes straight back to my musical roots as a high school intellectual stoner, and I still love the music unironically, unsophisticated though this taste may be.
Zep showcasing their breath of musical knowledge and enthusiasm for pushing boundaries.
Not a big Zep fan. II was better
Yeah was good some heavy hitters like immigrant song. Heavy sounds and screaming vocals
Rock solid Zeppelin
Decent stuff
Immigrant Song, what an opener!
The immigrant song slaps
Rock, 1970. This is not a Led Zeppelin's masterpiece like I or IV, but it's definitely one of their best projects and it contains also one of their biggest hits "Immigrant Song". Great record.
I'm not much of a Led Zep fan but this really worked for me.
some good solid rock
needed another A+ song like Immigrant Song for a 4
You can't go wrong with the epic scream from Immigrant Song, a still frequently played classic. The album is a good mix of different sound mixes and different tempos. Nice.
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.
I haven't really listened to a full album by Zeppelin (aside from the 2 I already had on this list) in a while so I'm going by memory a bit. This is a continuation of Zeppelin improving. I think the first album is pretty "meh" but the second was a bit better. There's some absolutely great songs here, including one of myvall time favorites from the band: That's The Way. Not to say that the rockers like Immigrant Song and Out on The Tiles aren't great, because they are. I like this album a lot. The the next 2 albums are peak Zeppelin to me, but this one is damn good.
Led Zeppelin
More experimental in their sounds and a bit of a departure but some cool stuff. Surprised how much acoustic guitar from Jimmy is on this album. Still shreds.
A-A-AAAAA-A, A-A-AAAAA-A Aa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-yeah-yeah aA-hAA-aA-hAA-haA-hAaa-yeah-yeah
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
A-A-AAAAA-A, A-A-AAAAA-A Aa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa-yeah-yeah aA-hAA-aA-hAA-haA-hAaa-yeah-yeah 4/1001
its chill but nothing i would listen to
ok, prefer the latter half
was vibin with it until I got to the last song
This album is known for bringing out the lighter and more whimsical side of Led Zeppelin. I know I spent many hours in my youth listening to the acoustic oriented songs on what used to be called side 2. But Immigrant Song hits as hard as anything in the Led Zep canon, and Since I’ve Been Loving You still thrills me with its peaks and valleys, the full band hitting crescendo after crescendo and Jimmy Page taking that solo at what feels like breakneck speed. Such fun. Sandwiched between the releases that gave us Whole Lotta Love and Stairway, this album may seem overlooked. But it’s a real gem.
Probably the zeppelin album I like most
Started out hot, nothing really of substance that caught me in the end
Good start. Lost interest.
asd
Great
Incredible innovation with such unique sounds. Guitar skills out of this world.
When I think of Zeppelin I think of my dad. I feel as if they almost belong to him, and I can’t listen to them because they aren’t mine. I’ve only ever heard the hits, of course I’ve heard Immigrant Song about a million times in every movie. Listening to a full album feels like a real treat. Celebration Day to me cements this album in its time, the 70s, where every other song feels timeless. Perhaps that’s why quite a few of their albums are in this list- it showed music doesn’t have to be a product of the era it was made in. In my naivety I thought that like most other bands, Plant’s vocals would soar above the supporting instruments, but this album shows me that all members were equal and cherished pillars that made Zeppelin what it was. Jones’ bass in Gallows Pole and Tangerine, Plant’s vocals in Immigrant Song and Hats off to (Roy) Harper, Bonham’s legendary skills on Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Page’s guitar on Tangerine and Gallows Pole, make each and every song it’s own masterpiece while simultaneously being a cohesive album where each song is a part of a seamless puzzle. I had previously thought of Zeppelin as an ominous group with dark lyrics, but this album left me with a strange positive feeling. I’m excited to dive into the rest of their discography! My favorites: Since I’ve Been Loving You, Gallows Pole, Friends, Tangerine
It’s taken me a long while to realise this but Led Zeppelin are overrated.
Meh
🤟
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
I prefer IV but this has some Great songs, the Classic "Immigrant Song" and "Gallows Pole" are both good songs. I also like the nod to another English Genius "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper.
This album is godly, probably my 2nd favorite Led Zep album. Music literally does not get more based than Led Zeppelin. Immigrant Song: One of the coolest songs of all time. No question. There was this really cool ascending bass line during the “on we sweep” bit that I hadn’t noticed before. Friends: SO cool. Love the weird main riff that has both the sharp fourth and the flat third. The strings add this fantastically foreboding, ominous energy. Celebration Day: Weirdly funky, great underrated tune. There’s a cool nimble bassline during the chorus here too. Since I’ve Been Loving You: Dear God this is the SEXIEST song of all time. It is dripping with tension and passion. I LOVE this song. I wish the electric organ was louder in the mix. Out on the Tiles: AMAZING drum groove. I like the parts during the verses when he throws in these awesome polyrhythms. I love drummers who don’t just keep time, but change up what they’re doing constantly and add intricacy. Some dull people think that less is more, but they are so so wrong. Love Bonzo’s interesting grooves. Gallows Pole: Amazing. I love, love the folksy sound on this one, and when the drums come in it is impossible not to get excited. Led Zeppelin wasn’t even a folk band, but they do folk better and more fun than virtually every folk band of their time. Tangerine: I like the guitar tone on this one. This song feels nostalgic to me. That’s The Way: Again, Led Zep’s acoustic songs are top tier. I adore when a heavy rock band can write a good acoustic song. Bronyaur Stomp: So fun! The guitar-playing is very interesting on this one. Hats off to Roy Harper: cool sliding bluesy guitar. Nice lyrics lol
I’ll confess to never having been to keen on Zep’s bluesier cuts. To my surprise however, this album demonstrates a versatility and nuance that I thought beyond this band. Side 2 of this album in particular really won me round. The folky stuff is really quite outstanding - sometimes understated and atmospheric before really indulging in some grandiose elements. Thoroughly enjoyed this, though Plant’s voice begins to grate after a while.
It opens with Immigrant Song, which has to be one of the greatest openers ever. After that it's great, but veers into turgid 12 string folk stomps a little too often to be brilliant.
This album is hygge. It is a cozy blanket with a caramel cappuccino around a camp fire.
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.
I know this album is a classic but it just doesn't resonate with me. Yes, Immigrant Song is awesome, Tangerine is a great song, and the album is very technically sound... but I just didn't care by the end.
Probably the Led Zeppelin album I've listen to the most, perhaps because outside of Immigrant Song the songs haven't been overplayed to death. Some of my favorite songs on here, Tangerine, Since I be loving you and That's the Way. Always fun to listen to this.
Said before, I’m not a big Led Zep fan, but… No denying how great Immigrant Song is with its charging rhythm and howls. And I really like the variety of folky, bluesy, and 70’s metal guitar. So that said, probably my favorite Led Zep record if I had to pick one.
Immigrant Song and Tangerine are great. The rest of the album is good but not my favorite Zeppelin.
Great album from top to bottom and it all works. Some hard rock, some folk, some acoustic. I think the first 4 of Zeppelin's albums are probably going to get 5s from me.
too bluesy for me to be great
Immigrant Song one of my favourites ever. Rest was a little less exciting.
Amazing band. A few misses on this album but that hardly taints it.
Terrific piece of music. But maybe it's just the nostalgia talking. Remembering putting the record on the turntable, turning it on, wiping the dust off, putting the needle on the record, (and somehow still getting static noises)... but the anticipation of hearing the rush from the first song.
Enjoyable to really get an album that you know what you're going to get going in. This has more varied pacing, but excels with rock, blues and folks. Was really impressed by Since I've Been Loving You... haven't had much exposure to that and it is stellar. Tangerine and Immigrant Song are the clear other favorites. Very enjoyable.
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.
Sort of recognized some of the songs and sound of the vocalist. Fun listen, really enjoyed it.
Great album that features the 12 string heavily, even a bit of banjo that I’ve never picked up on before. Puts me in a trance like a deep zen pill.
Solo por cómo empieza ya merece la pena ser escuchado. Hay tantas cosas interesantes en este disco del año 1970 que a veces cuesta pensar en lo poco que han evolucionado otros músicos a partir de inspirarse en estos grupos. "Immigrant song", "Gallows pole" o "Tangerine".
great album, zepellin is really innovative
Always considered this one to be the weakest of the four self-titled albums. It still has the absolute bangers that are "Immigrant Song", "Tangerine" and "Since I've Been Loving You" and none of the songs are bad, so that really just speaks on how good the other self-titled albums are. These guys are truly legends in the citrus rock genre. Lemons, tangerines.. should have done a song about limes as well to complete the holy trifecta.
Classic
Fint og varierende album, men mangler de skikkelig gode sangen
Fave Zep track is on this album, the almighty Since I've Been Loving You. A few other cool tracks, but enough filler tracks to knock the whole package down to a 4. A high 4, but a 4 nonetheless.
Love this album!
Tiene dos temazos clásicos y favoritos para mí. El resto es una buena mezcla de rock y folk. La última canción, eso sí, es un buen wtf actual. Supongo que en el época era algo normal ese tipo de exabruptos, pero ahora es más bien algo pintoresco.
This is a no-brainer 5 album. One of the greatest albums from one of the greatest bands of all-time. Immigrant Song is such an amazing tune. We used to play it in HS marching band during HS and I loved hearing the crowd sing the "AAAAAHHHHH" part. So bluesy, so heavy, so soft at times. Just an all-around fantastic album. I listened to this one on my original vinyl pressing that I've had in my collection for 25+ years.
Classic Led Zeppelin album, immigrant song, that's the way, bron-yr-aur stomp. Great songs great album
This is our second Led Zeppelin album on this list, and I find myself more impressed with this one even though the album was the other's predecessor. I may be paying more attention now or perhaps differently, more than 100 albums later, but I feel more expression and creativity here. A worthy addition to this list. There were some notable songs that stood out. if you're not clapping during "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp," then I don't know what you're doing. A shoutout to "Immigrant Song," which is such a classic banger of a song that deserves all its praise. It's definitely the hardest on the album. "Friends," which I maybe heard on the radio once or twice, stood out to me. I keep listening to it and finding more to enjoy about it. I thought "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" would've been my favorite but "Friends" grabbed the title a few listens in. The guitar opening on "Celebration Day." The simplicity of "Tangerine." The songs are varied and enjoyable. some were okay to me overall, but nothing was bad.
Prior to 1001, this was one of my lesser liked (but still liked) Led Zeppelin albums. I would say that is still the case. That said, this is still a solid album which an amazing variety of instrumentation and vocal effects, and I have a new appreciation for it after listening to it in the scope of this project. Though it may not be a favorite album, Immigrant Song is hands down a favorite song from this album, and one of the best in Led Zeppelin's entire discography. Also, though maybe "underrated" is not the right word, I have always thought Gallows Pole doesn't get enough recognition; they manage to accomplish so much build up and excitement in a song with very minimal instrumentation. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, as far as I'm concerned, is a secret sleeper agent banger on this album. Again, III is not my favorite, but Led Zeppelin makes it hard not to respect and appreciate their chemistry and inventiveness. What they do was cutting edge at the time, and it just WORKS.
Classic rock album with some blues/acoustic influence.
Can't go wrong with some Zeppelin
Enjoyed it, great album
Solid classic, a bit of progressive rock. Overall very good.
This ones class - 3rd in my rankings of led zepp albums feels the most unique out of their albums I've listened to. Purely due to having loads of acoustic sections (which are a great change). Also since I've been loving you is definitely a top 5 zeppelin track
Led Zeppelin II is the ultimate album. Following that is a difficult task, and III is a far cry from II. That being said, it's a different animal all together. Much more subdued, exploratory, but still cohesive. As a band, these guys are perfection. Every part of music is demonstrated to mastery with every song they perform, so it's impossible to not like this stuff even though they have peaks and valleys. What's great about III is that it builds and while you listen, there's a journey that goes out with a bang!
a more acoustic sounding led zeppelin album, that still touches hard rock, folk rock and blues influences throughout
8/10. Immigrant Song is always fun, rest of the album pretty good too
Definitely the weakest Zeppelin we’ve had so far. 8/10
A blend of folk and rock. Still think Physical Graffiti is their best album
Excellent!
Classic
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.
Probably the most eclectic of the Led Zeppelin albums, it contains the usual bunch of hard rockers interspersed with straight blues and a heap of folky acoustic material (that mostly works), part of it with a subtle middle-eastern bent, foreshadowing the direction some of the band’s music would later take. As with all Led Zep albums, III is a super solid record, and up there with their best, but often gets overlooked between their debut and Led Zeppelin II and IV.
Listened to on 5/30/22 4/5 Favorite song: immigrant song I love Led Zeppelin and this album didn’t fail to be a series of bops- the immigrant song is quintessential 70s and I loved every moment of listening to it 3 times
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 Zeppelin..you were my love for ages. How can I pick a favorite album.
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
Not quite as good as 2 and 4 but still great. Also a surprising amount of bluegrass songs
very cool
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.
very meh
Good, obviously. Tangerine and That's The Way are beautiful songs, Jimmy Page is just incredible, though there's not enough on this album to lift it above a 4 overall for me.
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.
Standout Songs: Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Hats odd To (Roy) Harper
Immigrant Song is such a classic, Tangerine and Gallows Pole are also great.
Classic Zeppelin III. Not much more to say
Immigrant song is a standout. Mostly derivative blues, shines when they pull out their cock and balls and rock out.
III isn’t necessarily one of the first albums I think of when I think of Led Zeppelin, but it's an outstanding album. It's interesting in that song for song, it probably has fewer classic rock staples on it than any other Zeppelin album, except for Presence. But as deep cuts go, the songs on this album are fantastic. Stylistically, III is more diverse than Zeppelin's first two albums, which is what makes it so exciting to listen to. The introduction of more acoustic, folk-based influences reveals so much more depth in the band's abilities. They don't have to be so heavy or hit you over the head with their sound. But man, when they want to be heavy, look out. You want bombast, here's "Immigrant Song." Need some cool pedal steel guitar, try "Tangerine." Looking for a lovely pastoral sounding acoustic number, here's "That's the Way." You want a slow burning blues odyssey, go for "Since I've Been Loving You." Practically every song is an excursion into a different musical territory, but everything comes together so organically. Nothing feels out of place. You can also tell the band is having a blast making this album. I absolutely love it. Fave Songs (All songs, from most to least favorite): Since I've Been Loving You, That's the Way, Friends, Immigrant Song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Tangerine, Gallows Pole, Hats Off to (Roy) Harper, Celebration Day, Out on the Tiles
If only Gandalf knows how to play guitar…
III will never be my go-to Zeppelin, but this was better than I've given it credit for.
Starts with a bang and remained decent throughout. Glad it didn’t fizzle out like I was thinking it might.
Solid album - didn’t blow me away, but I would listen to it again.
It's not got the big hits of Zep II or IV, but this is really good...lesser songs like Celebration Day and Out on the Tiles are really good, and then the bangers like Immigrant Song, That's the Way, etc. just round it out. Hats off to Roy is the only real dud on the album, and even it's not as bad as I remember.
I had a solid Led Zeppelin phase in high school. They are still great. Not every song is a winner, but the ones that are are awesome.
Honestly my favorite album on this list so far. Listening to it brought me back to all the times I listened to it in my bedroom as a teenager learning how to play since I’ve been loving you, and in my car listening to immigrant song. Some of my favorite songs of all time on here.
Absolutely remarkable album. Perhaps underrated at the time, but so rich and diverse.
It's all Led to me. Which means some I love and others just sound the same. Idk, I guess it's a solid 4 for me
Great album, will be listening to it again
It's my favourite LZ album and i'd give at least 2 others 5*s so this is an easy rate.
Classic
I'll give 4 stars because of peer pressure, but I don't see anything special about Led Zeppelin...
good
It's a hard choice, but I've always picked this as the best Led Zep album. Pretty much perfect.
The album that made Jimmy Page hate the press, simply because they couldn't understand why Zep went acoustic. Probably Cameron Crowe's favorite Zeppelin album. The highs (Immigrant Song, That's The Way, Tangerine) really soar, and are among the best of their catalog. The rest is something of a mixed bag, and a foretaste of the feast to come on the next album...
Think I've listened to Zeppelin's one and two and not really been into it. Three was pretty nice though!
I always think I don't like zip very much but I think what I'm really just tired of the few songs they play on homogeneous Classic Rock Radio. Fantastic album
Very easy listening
Not my favorite of theirs but still great
Solid album from start to finish.
3.8 - excellent mix of harder tacks like “Immigrant Song” and more melodic tunes like “Tangerine”. Solid listen for a great band.
Probably my favourite album of all time. Still holds up, so completely alive
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.
Masterpiece, one of my favorites from Led Zep
Classic Rock. Well deserve 4 +++
I've had a love/hate relationship with Led Zeppelin for a long time. Fortunately, this one is in my favorite albums of the group. The folkish songs on this record are phenomenal and Immigrant Song is a killer opener. Not a perfect album though, maybe the last 3 songs weren't needed. Anyway, it deserves 4 stars for sure.
2.5
Love me some Led Zeppelin. Truth be told, this is probably only my 5th favorite Zeppelin album (Top 4 are Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin IV, roughly in that order) but it's still great. 4 stars.
Kolejne Zeppeliny na liscie, tym razem z numerem trzecim z 1970, ktory jest chyba najbardziej folkowym materialem w dyskografii bandy, ktory jednak jest otwarty tak bangersko hardnym instrumentalem jak immigrant song, ktory jednak sam w sobie jest ciekawa opowiescia pasujaca do folkowych klimatow snutych na reszcie albumu, tak jak na poprzednich albumach grupa gra wylacznie przy wykorzystaniu wlasnych instrumentow, ale tym razem slychac wieksza roznorodnosc, zwlaszcza wsrod akustycznej czesci instrumentali, wiec Page operuje na banjo, akustykowych gitarach, czy tez hawajkach, do tego Jones ma hajlajtowe momenty na mandolinie, kontrabasie, poza typowymi klawiszami hammondowymi i moogowymi, kolejna rzecza ktora wyproznia ten krazek jest sposob w jakim jest podzielony udzial czlonkow zespolu w pisaniu kawalkow, bo prezentuje on o wiele bardziej demokratyczne podejscie do tematu, gdzie kazdy z czlonkow ma swoje pare groszy, a nie sam Pageowy show, roznorodnosc liryczna jaka za tym idzie jest jedna z mocniejszych stron plyty, ale jako fangej folkowej strony rocka pewnie kupilbym cokolwiek z taki akustykami pana Page, ale gdyby pisac od kawalka do kawalka to znajdzie sie tutaj cos bluesowego jak since i have been loving you z epicka solowka Jimmiego, czy cos bardziej psychodelicznego jak utwor firends, ktory jako jeden z nielicznych z tamtego okresu featuruje smyczkowe brzmienia, wiec jest to 43 przepakowane roznorodnoscia brzmienia, ale jednoczescie te 10 kawalkow pasuja do siebie tworzac spojna calosc, na plejsce juz mialem openingowego immigrantowego songa, ale tym razem dodam jeszcze wspomnianych friendsow i barowy song out on the tiles, ktory obok immigrantow jest przykladem hardego rokowania z tego krazka, charakteryzujace sie Bonhamowa solowka, jeden z hajlajtowych momentow tego albumu obok niezliczonych ou jechow Plantowych
When you open your album with “Immigrant Song” it is really hard to follow that. Zeppelin needed 9 more tracks to fill the void but they do it here. If not for IV’s more solid lineup this would’ve been Zeppelins best album.
LP
Don’t think I’ve ever listened to this album in full. Celebration Day has always been a favorite and makes me think of playing bass with Xan at 16. Ultimately still a tier below LZ II and Houses of the Holy in my opinion if only for the creativity of the songs. Still has that earlier LZ sound I like so much more than the albums after HotH.
This was my favorite Led Zeppelin record for years before I heard "Presence" and never looked back. "Since I've Been Loving You" is in the running for my favorite song by the band. You want to know what makes me feel like the Beatles were mortals more than anything? The fact that this record was released the same year as the last Beatles record. I like to think I would have thought "F the Beatles, this is the 70s and I'm a Led Zep man" the way Jimmy Page wanted. Not sure I would have. But, this and Black Sabbath drew a line in the sand. Not to mention Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother." 1970 was a passing of the torch in some ways. Even the Stones had to find their way and work their asses off to make records that hung with the new class of insurgent rock bands. What an exciting time in music.
I love Led Zeppelin, but I really don't know much about them or their discography - which makes it hard to judge this album against their others. But - at the end of the day - they're the Zep, the album rocks. What more do I need to know?
Cool
Great rock album
Robert Plant is unlistenable, too much noodling guitar, Immigrant Song is a good opener though.
ok, so a whole album redeems them a tiny bit for me, this was a fun listen
One of my favourite Led Zeppelin albums, some classic tracks on here
One of the greatest rock albums of all times
Not their best but it is still really good. I love the latter half run from Gallows -> Bron Y Aur. So solid.
Most definitely the lesser of the better albums from Led Zeppelin (a distinguished list that includes 1 to 4 + Physical Graffiti). But lesser does not mean that it’s anything less than excellent, brimming as it is with classics (Immigrant Song) and signature blues tracks (Since I’ve Been Loving You).
Revenge of the Led. This was nice and boppy! I'm glad the generator made me listen to Led Zeppelin as I enjoyed this. Again I'm torn between a 3 or a 4, I wish the rating system was out of 10 tbh.
This was good and I had fun!
Led Zep's first two albums are great, but have quite rightly been regarded as rip-offs of classic blues artists, and they don't bring much of their own sound to the records. This is the first album where they really bring something different to the table, with a wide variety of styles blending together in a pretty perfect way
funky, fast paced, decent. -1 star for being straight people but idk if thats really fair
The only problem with Led Zeppelin III is that it isn't Led Zeppelin I or II. It had a lot to prove as the band tried to stretch itself and had some growing pains. Even with that, some of the songs on it still really deliver: "Immigrant Song," "Since I've Been Lovin' You"... The last couple of songs are ones I always forget Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, and Hats Off To Roy Harper. I don't really call this album a misstep; bands would kill to have a misstep like this. But it is an important link from II to Runes. So yeah, I will give it 4 stars, but it just barely gets 4 (like a 4.4).
There are not many hits on this album so I'd guess most listeners (me included) don't recognize most of the songs. But wow, can these guys play. Probably more than other Zeppelin albums you can really hear all the intricacies and range of their abilities, Page and Jones in particular, due to the heavy acoustic motif. I mean, I always knew they were good and super talented but I did not realize how good until now. The string work (and there are a lot of stringed instruments and playing styles) is just ridiculous. Friends and Celebration Day made me stand up and pay attention - from Page's acoustics and Jones' string arrangements on the former to Page's slide guitar on the latter and Jones' organ synth segue between the two. Their ability to play the blues is on full display on Since I've Been Loving You. That's where I started to notice Bonham's range of ability. And then he crushes it on Out on the Tiles (his playing and his composition of the other instruments). Gallows Pole then seems to show everyone's range - love the arrangements and different stylings. At one point I asked myself \"so what's Plant doing on this album?\" Sure, with all the acoustics his vocals take center stage and really fill your ears - which most cannot do. But then I listened to Hats off to Roy Harper - what he does with his voice at the 1:50 mark to turn it into an instrument itself is incredible. As I went back for more listens I realized he was doing other unique effects with his voice on other songs (like the Immigrant Song and That's the Way). These extras were even more impressive than his sheer energy. Overall, this album goes to show these guys could play any style you wanted.
This album is a master class in how to make an acoustic guitar rock. Pretty much love every track (although the last track is only "ok" in my book). Immigrant Song rocks, even if the lyrics are a little cheesy. Love the strings on Friends. Celebration Day is another cool track and I like how Friends segues into it - very cool slide guitar here (and elsewhere on the album). Since I've Been Loving You is a little on the long side, but is worth listening to closely - great guitar throughout with a fantastic solo in the middle. Out on the Tiles has a great groove. Gallows Pole is a classic - a classic with banjo, no less. Tangerine moves nicely from calm acoustic waves to rocking (with a bit of country twang at the end). That's the Way is very moving and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is a fun acoustic track. Hats Off to (Roy) Harper is a bit of a meandering ending...really feels tacked on, but overall the album is just great. Easy 5.
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.
Hi- Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Lo- Hats off to (Roy) Harper Led Zep's effort before they *really* hit it big with VI is appreciated with classics like Immigrant Song rocking out, Since I've Been Loving You and Tangerine pulling at the heartstrings, and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp providing the stomp-clap goodness years before Queen did it with We Will Rock You. Hats off to (Roy) Harper was not a great send off for this album, but it's not for us, it's for Page and Plant's friend Roy Harper.
Sets the bar high with Immigrant Song and then never comes close again to matching that energy. I needed a nap halfway through.
Pretty good album. I liked the banjo that showed up in the one song. 1 recognized song
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.
J'ai énormement apprécié le clin d'oeil de Led Zeppelin à son public français, avec la présence d'un Nikos Aliagas absolument déchaîné sur la totalité de l'album. Ce dernier commence par nous donner les dernières actus sur Lolo Ferrari, avant de nous parler du Festival de Cannes à venir. Ensuite, il repétera à intervalles réguliers ses phrases telles que "Salut c'est Nikos" ou encore "ça buzze ça tweete". Enfin, il nous proposera un tour d'horizon de l'actu people en moins de 60 secondes.
Seems like they were beginning to find their own way as opposed to just doing what had been done better and louder than everyone else. This album seemed more experimental and progressive than the first two but still very blues influenced.
Предисловие: Альбом слышал раньше. Тогда мне не понравилось. Даём 2 шанс. Прослушивание 1 1 Обожаю этот трек. Лучшая песня в ost шрека. Хахахаха) 2 Сказать мало что можно. Трек необычный. Похож на музыкальную паузу из мультфильмов дисней. 3 Сесть бы сейчас в какую-нибудь семёрку, и поехать в закат. Включить это на всю, и радоваться жизни. Мне нравится. 4 Как он чувствует... хахаха) этот трек пропитан колосальной энергией 5 Меня завораживает этот голос. Это прекрасно. 6 Что за кантри началось?) Мне ооочень нравится. 7 Сгрустнул.... 8 Что за депресняк начался?.. 9 Вот это другое дело. Сейчас иду по улице, пританцовываю. Выгляжу наверное,как идиот. 10 Какая грязь. Мне это не понравилось.
Beetje vage rockmuziek. Volgens mij hebben we al eerder een album van deze artiest gehad, en daar was ik destijds niet heel enthousiast over. Ook dit album kan mij niet heel erg bekoren, al voelt het niet zo slecht als het vorige. **
I like a couple zeppelin songs, but I never took the time to sit down with any of their albums all the way through. There’s a specific blend of acoustic instruments with later rock sensibilities that works extremely well for me (e.g. Jethro Tull is a band I love *way* more than they deserve by any objective measure. Or like King Gizzard’s use of harmonica hits my brain really nicely). I don’t quite know the exact alchemy there, because there’s a lot of folk rock that I can’t fucking stand, but Zep III is like right in the sweet spot. Loved it.
5 star album by any conventional scale but led gets judged on their own scale
classic. great rock album
As far as I'm concerned Zeppelin 1-4 are flawless and I will stand by that until I die
Some of the greatest hits of the band, with really good songs
Qualquer disco do Led leva 5 estrelas!
Immigrant song is a hell of a way to start off an album. After that, this becomes a more straight ahead blues album with hard rock layered over it. It works pretty well, and there are plenty of classic songs on this album. One thing that was hard to keep out of my mind while listening to this is that the next three albums that they are going to put out are going to be IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti. This album is not as strong as those, but on its own it's very good. It's clear that this album is previewing where the band is going, but it's not quite there yet 4/5
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.
Peerless. From the album cover design and artwork onwards, a masterpiece showing Zep at their best.
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 really really dig it. Not bad for a Sabbath cover band
By the hammer of Thor!
I mean, it's Led Zeppelin.
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.
A very excellent rock production that sounds super varied especially for its time
Not the best Led Zeppelin album, but have a lot of good songs and surely 5/5
Really just an amazing album front to back. Maybe my favorite of theirs
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
Muito mais músicas boas do que eu imaginava
Pure classic from first to last song. Every song a stand alone hit.
Heerlijk album met een heel sterke intro-song
Personally, this is my favourite Led Zeppelin album. Introducing folk elements makes a great band even greater.
More Zep before some Zappa! K. Top rated album named three gets three.
Some good rocking here
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.
Inte Zeppelins bästa, men det säger inte så mycket. Immigrant Song är en sån jävla tokbanger, man glömmer ibland hur bra Zep är för att de är en sån stor del av kanonen vid det här laget men de är så ägiga??
Var faktiskt rätt bra.
Very under rated. But I'm biased.
Good
Another superb entry by Led Zeppelin. Incredible how they could pop out these amazing records a year apart. This album is where LZ starts to explore other genres, blues here, funk there, and overall very much a blend of folk and heavy metal. It's hard to even hate the less interesting songs cause the band members all work so well together, not just the rhythmic drumming or Plant's delivery, but for me it's Page's guitar that firmly establishes him as one of the best, if not the best, guitarist of all time. The highlights of this album are "Immigrant Song", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Tangerine", "That's the Way", and "Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp." Half the album, not bad. "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of my favorite songs of all time; that masterpiece is enough for me to keep coming back to this album. Despite the fact this is my least favorite pre-Presence album, it just goes to show LZ has one of the most consistent discographies in music history.
quite ok
2022.01.07
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.
Masterpiece
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.
A couple of gimmicky throwaway tracks… Hats Off should have been an instrumental. But the great Immigrant Song is only like the fifth-best one, and that’s really saying something. I saved several of these for permanent rotation, and I’m so glad I finally heard the drums on Out On The Tiles.
Immigrant Song
Amazing and iconic albums. Every song is brilliant
I really love their debut album but I did not enjoy listening to this album… there were a few redeeming moments but mostly I hated listening lol
Well, its another LZ BANGAAA. Hot topic which album is best, but there's some gold in here: Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You. Perhaps a 4*... tough!
Just an excellent album. Not sure what else to say. I remember my dad playing me Gallows Pole on guitar when I was a small child, a bit of a weird sing when you think of lyrics but hey. Interesting fact, the original record cover had a wheel on the side that you could turn and make the image change through the little holes.
Ein á mínum uppáhalds
Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but awesome nonetheless. "That's The Way" has quickly become one of my favorite songs of theirs. Just like every Led Zeppelin albums, there are enough hits that can draw you in, that you end up listening to the whole record.
Love this group
One of Led's greatest songs kicks this album off and lets just say I've been waiting since the beginning of the year to review a Led Zepplin album. Three is not in the top albums for me but that is only because I was never as familiar with it as 1 or 2 or Physical Graffiti. After listening to it, I'd still keep it lower on my list only because I was always more a fan of their rock side than folk side but this is still a classic album.
FINALLY. We've made it through 242 albums before hitting our first from Led Zeppelin. Starting with III is interesting because this is personally my least favorite of the self-titled series, at least that was my perception going into it today. Coming out, I'm not so sure. This is a fantastic album, and I knew that going in, but so many more great songs than I recognized or remembered. Crazy that Immigrant Song is the biggest hit on here, I certainly don't think it's the best. An obvious departure from their usual hard rock fare to folksy blues. Lots of acoustic and sliding steel guitars. They really committed to a sound and overall it came out really well. I don't think this is on the same plane as the first two LZ albums, but damn it's also terrific. Favorite tracks: Tangerine, Hats Off to Roy Harper, Out on the Tiles, Immigrant Song, Since I Been Loving You. Album art: Love the cover, and seeing it here larger than usual illuminates incredible detail. Very lively and funky, feels organic in the way the music does as well. But the first four Zeppelin album covers are iconic regardless. 4.5/5
i’ve already talked about this album it’s so fuckin’ good I think this is where they were really able to show some of their best stuff like LZ-I and II were great but I think they really tuned their sound to a new great level with this album, and all the better stuff to come after this is a 10/10, please check out Led Zeppelin’s discography
some great tracks on here, Plant's voice and Page's guitar work are such a good combo
Never listed to the Zep much before. Really quite liked it
Great album. Nicely different from the others, but still classically Led Zep.
One of my faves
Dexent
Some great songs, some not as great songs. Solid
Int jätte intressant, flowar lite dåligt imo
I prefer the heavier Led Zeppelin Highlight Tracks: 1, 3, 5, 9
Ahjo.
Estujo bien...
Great
I liked Led Zeppelin II. This one, not so much.
Zeppelin. No better rock band. Best song on III: since I’ve been loving you
One of my favorites! Love every song!
Best thing about this one is the acoustic arrangements…2nd favorite LZ lp.
Pretty sweet album. Consistent rock.
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
I used to play this album so much - haven't played it for years now, but it's still great.
Immigrant song - what a start to an album! Friends - Now we've gone a bit prog. Not the most melodic song I've ever heard End review - Aside from the couple of good songs "Immigrant Song" and "black dog", the rest was unmemorable.
Absolute bangers all the way through, can't believe i never listened to Zep. Gallows pole FUCKS
So I've actually never really cared for Led Zeppelin. I feel like they're in my wheelhouse but it originates from being an edgy teenager that didn't want to like popular bands. So when I was assigned this one I was excited to finally have an excuse to experience them for myself. I went in with an open mind and... I just don't get it. The album was really boring. I can hear the technical guitar playing if I really listen. The subject matter is interesting I guess. But I was just bored the whole time. It leads me to think there's there's something wrong with me.
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
Classic Album. What’s there not to like about Led Zepplin and arguably their best album of all time.
shame spotify links you to the remaster by default. the curse of the spotify remasters! lowkey wish it was 2 rather than 3, but I'll take what I can get also, it turns out the first led zep album came out 50 years ago, which is really strange and incredible to me for some reason
This album starts on a high with Immigrant song, but can't really follow it up - a lot of good riffs but not much that really reaches out and grabs me, although celebration day is close. I'd come back to this album for an enjoyable listen, but it's never going to be one of my favourites.
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.
I hated this album. The first song inducted like Ohio and was a great 👍but the second song was really amazing and the fourth song was really bad too. I’m not so happy that Brett blew his mind away with seven xylophones of thoughts so I could use his bathroom. But the fact is that the third song inducted like kneeling star shirts. The fifth album, I mean song, couldn’t really find a way out of the door when it got hungry. The sixth and seventh songs were each the same person, and each of them had different tastes in food. When they had dinner together, they ended up laughing at the trumpet while they rained on the table. After the eighth song, I could barely remember the last time I heard the monkey outside the train bus. That’s how long it was.
Classic for a reason. I appreciate the varied musical styles
Yea I mean this is pretty great.
such a talented fucking band. immigrant song tangerine these are incredible. their range. fantastic!
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.
Plenty of bangers and still as full sounding
Fav songs: - Immigrant Song - Gallows Pole - Tangeringe - Since I've Been Loving You
Awesome unique sound. A classic!
The album leads off with its best song. The Immigrant song sets the tone for the album, but none of the other songs live up to it, and leaves you a little disappointed. A lot more bluesy songs on this album.
I think this was one of my favorite Zeppelin albums at one point but I haven't listened to Led Zeppelin in a while. It's definitely a great record but I listening back this time it was a little underwhelming this time. I think there are two reasons * The recording quality leaves a bit to be desired. Sounds a bit thin in places (probably the first time I'm listening to this on a truly hi-fi audio setup) * It's a bit less bombastic than earlier Zeppelin albums. They definitely started to do more acoustic stuff and ballads. The is one of the things I used to really like about this album but probably I just wasn't in the mood for mellow Zeppelin this time out so not going to count this against it too much. Anyway, hard to rate this anything but a 4. A great record.
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.
I genuinely cannot believe how good that album sounded. I played the first track expecting to hear hard rock, what I encountered was bluesy rock and a bit folky as well. My perception of Led Zeppelin has been totally overturned, and for the better as well
Great display of folk and rock blending tinny folk acoustics with heavier rock riffs and drums. Not the album that brings me home but a refreshing and impressive collection from one of the greatest with some classics snuck in. 4.49 Friends, Out on the tiles, gallows pole, tangerine
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
Excellent, classic rock at its best.
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
This album has a little bit of everything. I find myself returning to this album more than any other Zep album. I'm not saying it's their best. I'm just saying what I'm saying. "That's the Way" and "Tangerine" always get played to the end.
Obviously, the musicianship is faultless, and thankfully the professionalism here is part of the band's passion for an eclectic range of music. Yet one would like a more organic tracklisting; the division of the LP into electric and acoustic sides makes the album feel like slightly artificial, as if driven by guile as much as creativity. Also, and you may disagree, the cumulation and ordering of the acoustic tracks causes the last two tracks, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp and Hats off to (Roy) Harper, to sound a little peculiar, like experiments that don't completely come off. Nevertheless, there's more than enough meat here.
Less driving than their debut and the intricacies didn't grab any particular part of my brain.
A thunderous masterpiece in a string of them from this band.
absolute banger
Kicking off with the immigrant song.... the signature sound that everyone knows is as good as ever. And .... the rest of the album is crap in my opinion. Sorry not my type of music.
First time I heard it. I liked it.
Well, this could be the 1001st time I've listened to this classic work. Great stuff.
yup, still like this. some songs still played now and then on remastered box
Some classical songs but also some less interesting songs, should have listened more but like the later LZ more.
Familiar Led Zeppelin sound, but also a bit of experimentation on this album. Not perfect, but lots to like, with Since I've been Loving You and Tangerine as particular highlights.
Tiene dos canciones que me gustan mucho (Inmigrant Song, Tangerine), pero otras no.
More folky and even bluesy than their prior work. Not my favorite album of theirs but definitely some hidden gems.
Incredible start, but then nothing else on the album quite holds up to Immigrant song. One more banger makes this an easy 5
One of my favorite LPs of all time. This is getting five stars, and I don’t even need to hear a note. Listened again and it’s as good as I remember. Rock, blues and fusiony goodness with world class instrumentation and one of Rocks all time best vocalists. What’s not to like? Well, maybe the final cut “ Hats off to Roy Harper” as that song is fairly grating. Trivia nugget - Roy Harper is a real dude who was the (originally) uncredited singer on Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar”.
incredible offering. Huge way to start an album.
Led Zeppelin III was often regarded as the slightly unloved middle child between Led Zeppelin II which launched the band on the road to rock stardom and Led Zeppelin IV, which is the their true masterpiece. The band's willingness to break out into various styles, from bluesy rock to straight blues, folk rock to pure folk alongside the expected heavy rock songs, seemed to put a lot of people off. But this album is a classic in its own right and has come to be regarded as such. Bangers from start to finish!
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.
Not a cohesive album imo, but when it's good it's "best ever" good. And there's more good than not. Deserves to be on this list.
Great album. Knew a few of the songs but dont think I had listened to it all before.
This album is definitely my favorite currently of the zeppelin albums 1-4. Tangerine and immigrant song is great!
