Reviews (page 3 of 15)
Really like Zeppelin's sound, and this album is no different. This is not one of my favorites by them but Immigrant Song is a great start to this album.
#373 So good I listened twice! Opens with an absolute banger, the one I and presumably everyone knows and then follows with probably my favourite song I discovered on this first listen of the album. The whole thing from start to finish just sounds so accomplished. Heard before? ❌ Would I revisit? ✅ Listen before you die? ✅ Fave track(s): The Immigrant Song; Friends Rating: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
יש כמה שירים מעולים וכמה בינוניים
Is it Zeppelins best album? No. Does is still slap? Yes. More mellow and subdued than other albums in their catalog, but still a great listen. A very solid 4*s, only because I know there is better albums still to come.
I am sure it was great then. Now it is and sounds old.
Love this album
What an opener, and the rest provides a unique Zep experience.
Led Zeppelin III — Led Zeppelin ⭐ Rating: 4/5 🏷 Status: --- 🎨 Vibe: acoustic, rootsy, eclectic 💭 Why: - no real fillers - good tracks throughout - interesting switch from more heavy rock/metal on side A to more folky/bluesy rock on the B side 🎵 Must-Keep Tracks: 1. Immigrant Song 2. Since I've Been Loving You 3. Gallows Pole 4. Tangerine 🔄 Coherence/Flow: 4/5 - although good when considering A and b sides seperatly kinda jarring jump inbetween 🕰 Historical Context: - switchup album from Led Zeppelin II which is said to majorly have formed Heavy Metal (not listened to yet) to more acoustic and not so heavy sounds.

Ei ihan parasta Zeppeliiniä, mutta onhan tässä hyvää menoa ja pari legendaarista kipaletta.
Tää on näit.
Oikein hyvää vanhan liiton rokkia. Tätä tuli joskus paljonkin kuunneltua.
Classic LED Zeppelin. Some really great songs and some that are too long and repetitive.
A disappointing album from Led Zeppelin. Since I've Been Loving You is really good and Gallows Pole is pretty good, but the rest is pretty average. 3 stars or C+.
another great zeppelin album!
A stronger album than the last LZ and it has a strong start. For all that’s good, I’m still convinced the album and band doesn’t quite live up to the hype.
My favourite LZ LP.
Never a fan but enjoyable enough. One for the tokers at uni.
Some solod tracks
Led Zeppelin for me used to be the pinnacle of rock; songs about sleeping with women, doing drugs , and playing shows. The almost trashiness of listening to the full version of Stairway to Heaven at my grandads funeral made his son, my dad, and me burst into solemn giggles. Led Zeppelin meant a lot to me for something I didn’t really know, and I think listening to this album has giving me the greatest gift of deeper appreciation. I never understood when people talked about Led Zeppelin in connection to the Hobbit but I think I understand more now. Talking about the songs, you can see a fall and rise in the electricity of the music. The more acoustic brought out unfamiliar instruments such as the fiddle in the folky Gallows Pole, which was one of the more familiar songs to me. Gallows Pole directly pulls from the folk song Hangman , which I have fond memories of Tia Blake playing. Something that sorta caught me off guard was the beauty in Robert Plant’s singing. Calmingly mystical is the best way I could describe it. There’s a lot of beauty in this album and I’m so happy that I found this website. Favs ( mostly second side ) Since I’ve been loving you Gallows Pole Tangerine That’s the way Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp
Very slow album although it’s only 5”43 minutes. The first song is great but the rest just don’t live up to what the first song brings to the table. The songs are too long anything over 4 minutes is automatically to long and drawn out especially for his style of music
Velmi dober
ehhh kinda not my vibe
It was pretty good but still way too overrated. Feels like the songs kinda blend together at times. Favorite track(s) Since I've Been Loving You Tangerine
Outstanding album that sounds so effortless. It sounds like they rolled in on a tuesday, cranked this out and said "let us know how it goes".
Another all-time classic. It doesn't get much better than this for classic rock.
One of my personal favorites from Led Zeppelin. Provides more variety compared to their earlier albums. Still to this day can’t stand Hats off to Roy Harper though… Rating: 8/10 Favorite Song: Since I’ve been loving you
Fine! Zeppelin doesn't do much for me in my day-to-day. Good for a workout I guess. "Immigrant Song" is the famous one off this album which I instantly recognized.
Not a Zepp fan generally, but it’s a good album! Favourite track: Immigrant Song
Boring
Is there a more distinctive opening 3 seconds to any album?
Classic rock
Love a lot on here, especially the second half of the album. Bron-Yaur Stomp, Gallows Pole, Tangerine, are all so good. Front half has a couple great rock tracks in Celebration Day and Out on the Tiles. Friends and Hats Off are solid. Since I’ve Been Loving You has always been one of my least favorite Zep hits but it was nice to revisit. And Immigrant Song is always a winner. What I will say is that this is maybe my least favorite of the first five or six Zep albums. But it’s still great.
Крутой микс стилей. Нравится фолковый вайб в некоторых песнях. Немного не мое, но было интересно послушать.
Some enjoyable moments
Classic
Fuck yeah
Robert Plant once punched Len Houmous just because Len was more talented. 4.5 4/10 Since I’ve Been Loving You
Klassisches Rockalbum, Gitarrenriffs, bluesig.
One of the best album intros of all time.
Great listen. The first song got me hype and sent off into the rest of the album!
If you told someone to listen to Zeppelin you wouldn’t recommend this first but you wouldn’t recommend it last either. It’s overall a very good album some songs personally I felt dragged on way longer than they had to.
#37 Led Zeppelin took a different approach to this album, shifting from the straightforward hard rock sound of I & II to a more subdued acoustic style for much of III. This album serves as an important stepping stone to their next few albums, really marking a maturity in their songwriting and sound. It showcases their intrumental versatility and stylistic range. III is probably their most underrated album, but it deserves just as much acclaim as the rest of their first six. Immigrant Song is the best known song here, but Since I've Been Loving You, Gallows Pole, Tangerine, and That's The Way are all top-notch tracks as well. Initially I wasn't sure this album would be deserving of a full 5 stars, but after several listens this time around, I can't see any reason why it should get any less.
Im so sorry I couldn't finish this
First Led Zep album I owned - one of the most interesting in their back catalogue. Varied in tone and instrumentation compared to other albums it has tended to suffer being an 'in-between' album, without some of the blockbuster songs on either II or IV it's nonetheless the Zep album I have listened to the most.
pretty good actually
at this point this is my third led zeppelin record, and I can't really distinguish this one from the others. sorry to led zeppelin
Of all the dad rock albums on this list so far-- I've had a better time here than most. Some songs (thinking specifically about Ramones's Blitzkrieg Bop) get ruined by their inclusion in modern nostalgia bait and advertisements, but I still felt something from Immigrant Song here so that's something. I really haven't listened to a lot of Zeppelin and was surprised by the breadth of sound here. Not all my jam, but I'm glad I listened, some good bangers, some meh.
Great tracks on side B. Otherwise, great performances but not great songwriting.
i really liked it, felt like the good old days
Some of the songs feel very country. The album is nice to listen to but for me it's probably a one time listen. Songs I liked Immigrant song Gallows pole Celebration day Tangerine 7/10
7/10. Buen álbum pero pierde potencia mientras avanza, además que es moggeado hasta la muerte por II y IV
Has some of my favorite zeppelin songs on this album (Friends, Gallows Pole, bron-y-aur stomp) and some of my favorite acoustic guitar work. Not my favorite from Zeppelin in total, but still so good. Intro for Bron-Y-Aur is so dang cool. 12 string on Tangerine is also so epic and peaceful feeling. Thats The Way 12 string is also so nice. Hats Off to Roy Harper is kind of spooky but I really like the way they mixed it.
I actually liked this one a lot! Very classic, idk if it’s worth a 5, but I’m in between a 4 and a 5
vivid memories of bert and i screaming the ah ah ahhhh ah part at the beginning of the immigrant song as loud as we could until our mom told us to stop
yea this is a great album
This is awfully close to a 5 but it’s still a very very good album
Was always my favorite zeppelin album back in the day, fun to give it a listen again.
A masterpiece of an album where Led Zeppelin showed what they could truly accomplish if they simply decided they want to. There are three songs on here that make it a worthy listen with Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You and Tangerine. All classics and though I don't know the second half of the acoustic songs are ALL the best versions of acoustic Zeppelin, they are excellent in their own right. It must have been odd to hear a band that is known for hard blues rock and extended electric guitar solos sit down on stools and start doing acoustic songs. It's difficult for me to choose a list of songs I like from Zeppelin III, as I appreciate and enjoy them all. I generally dislike it when this list includes every album a band released for a period of time (such as including Zeppelin I - III and Zoso), but I would possibly remove Zeppelin II and put Zeppelin III in the book. This is more "important" album than anything else they did. Rather than let their sound get stale, Zeppelin chose to try and flex their limits. This is the result and it's a great result.
Immigrant song - no explanation needed, probably gonna be best song on the album, popularized in modern culture, fucking odin pops up as I listening to it Friends - India shit , pretty decent but not much going on, a little bit rock painted with spiritual shit Celebration day - guitar overlayed is pretty tuff, two guitar two sides, lyrics a little bit confused or I'm just dumb SIBLY - smells the blues from miles away, John P jones is cooking with this one, nothing interesting musically, feels like a jam, chord changes is pretty nasty, Robert is COOKING Out on the tiles - riff & rhythm is pretty cool Gallows Pole - Disney shit, 1876 American? Tangerine - out of sync with others That's the way - same as tangerine, not a fucking children toys instrument Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - its just page show off atp, weird, this is perfect for road trip ngl, Wales shit eh Hats off to Roys - Robert Johnson, love the south's slide tho, what in the fuck is this 2.5/5 ok album not much tho
# Playlist Track - Out on the Tiles # Notes - One of the most fantastic album intros OF ALL TIME. Immigrant song is such a punch in the face! - I like how wide this album is. So many different moods and feelings, and they rock so hard. - Led Zeppelin is really something else. One of those albums that I actually recommend to anyone, even if they are not big fans of the genre.
Led Zeppelin is very derivative. Mostly from the blues. Nothing really new. I really don’t understand why they are so popular Lyrics aren’t very good at all. Softer than most Led Zeppelin albums Immigrant song is catchy. No other songs stand out. Imaginative album name. Not very good. Two stars.
Good, but not typically what I listen to.
you know, it's fine
one of the GOAT 💥immigrant song 💥gallows pole 💥tangerine
Their typical sound and everlasting quality; although this album is without their most notable hits, it has become a foundation in their versatile opus 👏
It’s insane how many zeppelin songs one knows without being a big fan. You know them so why look at what I have to say. I don’t think they put out a so-so album until Physical Graffiti. So there. Choice cut: Since I’ve Been Loving You
Pretty Good
This is one of my favorite Zeppelin records, and one of my favorites of all time. Yes, there are some great rockers here, like "Immigrant Song," and "Out on the Tiles." But the showcase has to be all the acoustic songs, particularly "Tangerine," "Gallows Pole," and what should be the record's highlight, "That's the Way." But getting in the way there is "Since I've Been Loving You," which just murders. It murders! One of the things I love most about this album is how intimate and "small" it feels, compared to so much of the Zeppelin discography. You feel like you're in the room with them, and I love that. Another no-brainer - FIVE STARS
I should listen to more led zeppelin huh
Certainly not the best Led Zeppelin album. 3.2/5
2,5
musicas fav: immigrant song, friends, out on tiles
I mean, it's Zeppelin.
Let’s gooooo
낫마스 ㄹㅈㄷ IMMIGRANT SONG이 있네요
Led Zeppelin III is one of the band's most adventurous albums, balancing thunderous rock anthems with rich folk and acoustic textures. While initially divisive, its willingness to break from expectations has made it a fan favorite, showcasing a more mature and versatile side of Led Zeppelin without sacrificing their power.
Van de eerste 6 albums van Led staan er 5 in deze lijst. Zo ook deze dus. Voegt het nog wat toe? Led brengt weer eens bluesrock, het doet een beetje aan Creedence denken, de schreeuwstem van de zanger lijkt potdomme af en toe op Janis Joplin, kun je nagaan. In vergelijking met de vorige plaat, van Rush, is het meer bluesy en minder rock, maar dat was ook zes jaar later. Er is verder niet echt een nummer dat er uitspringt, maar het is wel constante kwaliteit, dus dat belonen we dan maar weer.
Ik verwees bij Rush naar Led Zeppelin. Ze laten mij gelijk even horen waarom ik hen te kort doet. Immigrant Song heeft een ijzersterke handtekening. Op een jaren '90 beat en melodielijn pompt de band je huis in. In 2,5 minuut heeft de band de eerste ster al te pakken. De rest van het album is minder iconisch, maar is heerlijk. Ergens valt Bron-y-aur stomp extra op. Zo'n pakkend gitaartje met beat. Snoop zou er zo overheen kunnen rappen. Kom ik voor de tweede keer met een jaren '90 associatie. Waren ze hun tijd toch flink vooruit.
Na de topmuzikanten van Rush, schakelt het algoritme automatisch door naar Led Zeppelin. Logisch, aangezien in de lijstjes met beste drummers, bassisten en gitaristen, steevast artiesten uit deze bands naar voren geschoven worden. Maar daar heb ik al genoeg over gezegd bij eerdere recensies. Het valt niet mee om elke keer wat origineels te zeggen. Overigens viel me bij het doorspitten van de wiki op, dat ook Jimmy Page niet aan de h-drugs wist te ontsnappen. Dat wist ik gek genoeg nog niet. Terwijl ik dat toch altijd machtig mooi vind, als artiesten zichzelf de vernieling in helpen voor ons luistergenot. Puntje erbij! Terug naar de muziek: wat me nu opvalt, ook bij het teruglezen van eerdere recensies, is dat Led Zeppelin blijkbaar graag opent met een dijk van een hit. Het risico is dat je dan al je kruit verschoten hebt, maar het voordeel is dat je er gelijk lekker in zit. Beide is hier wel een beetje het geval. Het is daarna helaas niet allemaal even sterk en het niveau van Immigration Song is natuurlijk niet te evenaren. Toch een dikke 4 sterren.
7 / 10
The Led Zep album I return to most. I'm always hearing new things in it.
This album is where I started to realize I like Led Zeppelin more slowed down and folky. Immigrant Song is an iconic opener, but I really enjoy some of the softer tracks on this album, like That’s the Way.
Compared to their earlier albums, this shows a lot more influence from folk and sounds a lot more original. I love the range of different instruments and sounds across the album too. The highs may not be as high as on some of their other albums but it's consistently great.
This album makes me want to rewatch Almost Famous
you can tell zeppelin's influence on jeff buckley in this record. really enjoyed this one.
An absolute classic.
Solid album with almost no recognizable singles
*all-time.
I have no beef with Led Zeppelin. But I feel that this album lacks the impact and musical craftsmanship when compared to the other early LZ albums. LZ1 was a watershed in rock music, practically writing the textbook of what would become heavy metal. LZ2 expanded on that with a no-skip album of one banger after another. LZ4 may be the masterpiece, and Physical Graffiti provides the expansive canvas for a collage of styles and genres that ultimately defines Led Zeppelin. LZ3 just doesn’t tick off enough boxes for me, even though I love the album. It just gets list in one of rock’s greatest discographies. Having said that, it’s still a 5 star album. 5 stars
all day Green Day W album
3 de 5 El álbum en primera instancia sorprende porque se aleja de su característico y pesado hard rock de riffs, para explorar de forma magistral elementos de folk acústico y psicodelia, así como también, consolidando sus raíces de blues. Un trabajo donde la instrumentación se volvió rica y variada, con sonidos más suaves y acústicos, un cambio radical en el sonido de el grupo, que demostró que la banda no podía encallarse en un sólo sonido. A destacar: Track 1 - Immigrant Song Track 3 - Celebration Day Track 4 - Since I’ve Been Loving You Track 5 - Out On the Tiles Track 7 - Tangerine Track 9 - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Epic record, one of their best.
I come from the land of the ice and snow… What? Don’t tell me you’ve never had a Led out? AAAHHHAAAHHH HHAA!!!
High school.
8/10… classic rock / *1970
Just sensational
Very strong start, but found my enthusiasm waning by the end
What can I say, I like Led Zep. First half stronger than the second but still great throughout.
Zeppedy doo-dah
It's not totally acoustic record but shows a different sound in the band.
The first Zeppelin album to show everyone that the band was more than cock rock. Still gets maligned to this day I feel. Very strong work on here, though it is naturally hard to compare to the bangers they had before and after.
Classic Zeppelin album. What stands out to me now are the beautiful twangy guitars and the satisfyingly tape-saturated production.
Buiten Immigrant song, te veel country...
Amazing how their worst albums from the first 6 aounds
Brilliant stuff.. have listened to this countless times.
The range on this album is crazy. Just amazing musicians doing their thing.
It was completely new to me. I had never tried to listen to this kind of music before. It was heavy rock of 70s and perfectly fit the 70s vibe. It didn't exactly resonate with me mostly because rock has never been a genre I'd usually give a listen to. There were two songs whose instrumentals stood out to me 'since I've been loving you' and 'that's the way'. It's not really my vibe. But it was brand new world for me.
Much much better than physical graffiti, but still not my jam.
Greta van Fleet coverband Coole instrumentals, het is dat ik Robert Plant 9vd10x gewoon heel vervelend vind zingen
Ja gewoon super goed. Led Zeppelins probleem is gewoon dat ze nog veel sterkere platen hebben. Deze moddert wel een beetje in het middendeel, maar de highlights zijn dan ook wel torenhoog.
Classic album. Immigrant Song is iconic.
Grandes temas acústicos. Igual que mucha fuerza. Una de las bandas que mejor manejó la dinámica
While this is my least favourite out of the four self-titled albums, this album still rocks! There is really something here for everyone. The pure energy of Immigration Day and Celebration Day, the gorgeousness of Friends, Tangerine and That's the Way, the acoustic jam that is Gallows' Pole, the underrated Out on the Tiles and the sublime Since I've Been Loving You. That last song may be one of the finest love songs ever made. Everything about it so well done. The build across the song is so well-paced. The climax is amazing with that scream from Plant. The guitar solo from Page and the rhythm section of Jones and Bonham keeping it all together. Plant gives one of his all-time best vocal performances. The only thing that keeps it from a five-star album is the inclusion of Hats Off to (Roy) Harper. IMO, this did not need to be on the album and certainly not as the closer. Nevertheless, this is still an album that some bands would kill to have. For many bands, this would be their best but for Led Zeppelin, it's just Tuesday. Highlights: Immigration Song Friends Celebration Day Since I've Been Loving You Out on the Tiles Gallows' Pole Tangerine That's the Way
Great album, great group
Fire. Favorite tracks: Friends, Since I've Been Loving You
Yup
again rock! i like it but only if it’s occasionally administered into my system. Leave me alone please. It was a good album, iconic songs on here as well, I’m just not the best person for this🥹
Not a zepp fan but may be on the way. This has to be among the best guitar sounds in the history of rock music and one of the best openings of an album of all time Still music for boomers but its good music for boomers.
The most distinctive LZ album. Less focused on ripping off old blues singers.
Hell yeah
Still can't stand his voice. And the music mostly doesn't do it for me either.
A classic. Immigrant Song is a timeless classic. This album seems to be the band’s slow dhift from old blues to their own rock style. A great listen.
Glad I listened! Some quality Led Zeppelin here, and some great tracks I'd never heard. 7/10
Probably my favorite album of theirs? I love the heavy blues undertones on this album.
Great blend of rock, folk, acoustic, and blues. Top Songs: Immigrant Song, Friends, Since I've Been Loving You, Brown-a-Yur Stomp.
What a way to open the 70s. Immigrant Song starts off with tales of Vikings and longing for Valhalla - it's all ridiculous and overblown, but it sounds so damn good you give it a pass. Other highlights include 'Celebration Day', ' Since I've Been Loving You' (LZ does the heartsick blues), 'Gallows Pole' and 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp'. A bit more acoustic in places, which is sometimes a welcome relief from the screaming guitars and screaming Robert Plant. Overall, a great time, shame about the last track 'Hats Off to (Roy) Harper' which I didn't feel was up to the rest of the album.
6/10 - it's good but Immigrant song is the best and the others are all passengers
Never been a Zepp guy. Having said that, Since I've Been Loving You is a bloody great.
Wow, I really underrated this one before. I used to think this was boring, but honestly has some of the band's best guitar work ever. It's also their folkiest album by far. I've always liked their folk rock stuff, so that's not a bad thing either. There is a lot of fire on here. Immigrant Song is so heavy it's almost a metal song, Friends has some stunning arrangements and Tangerine is one of their most beautiful songs. In general, I would describe this album as very beautiful. The production is so crystal clear, especially on Since I've Been Loving you. The only two songs that I would consider duds are Gallows Pole who's almost country instrumentation is kind of a mismatch and the closer, which doesn't sound very good but I kinda respect how lo-fi and out there it is. Great album tho, grew on me a lot when I relistened today.
Solid, better than II. Nothing too special but gets a 4 because of immigrant song and tangerine. Ignore the last track
One of the worst cases of first song syndrome I’ve heard; sets the bar way too high. Also I’m not sure why I have zep 2 a 4/5 it’s closer to a 2 than a 4
I think it's at times great, but also pushy too no end, everything is so maxed out it doesnt breath much. Sure its great, and if you like "too much" this is perfect for you, but I guess I wasn't in the mood yesterday
Immigrant song - 5/5 Friends - 3/5 Celebration day - 2/5 Since I've been loving you - 3/5 Out on the tiles - 3/5 Gallows pole - 3/5 Tangerine - 4/5 Thats the way - 3/5 Bron Y aur stomp - 3/5 Hats off to (Roy)Harper - 1/5
Verjetno my all time favourite band, k sm ga ogromno preposlušala v lajfu. Predvsem v najstniških letih in pa slučajno spet zadnje nekaj mesecev. (Včasih rabiš pavzo od najljubših zadev, če hočeš, da so še tvoje najljubše.) "Immigrant Song" - a je to njihov najkrajši komad? Short, but sweet oz. hard. (Valjda je seznam na netu, tretji najkrajši je.) "Since I've Been Loving You" je tak filing kokr točn to kar zj počnem zraven, ko ga poslušam - sedim na prevročem balkonu, kadim travo in jem jagode.l z vrta. Bosa. Mogoč bi sam moral bit že večer. To je a night song. Trojka nima mojih najljubših komadov gor, ampak ma še zmer kr nekaj meni zelo ljubih ("Immigrant Song", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" ).
Freaking iconic.
Nope, not for me
Great album, not one of their better ones out of the LZ tetralogy. But still a good album but a legendary band.
3.5 дуже гарний тембр голосу, прості тексти (+ для практики англ), я б ввімкнула ще раз "Immigrant Song", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Out on the Tiles", "Gallows Pole"
Awesome album! "Since I've Been Loving You" is an excellent song. "That's The Way" is my 2nd favorite
As someone said Immigrant Song was such a good start and then the rest are quite same and do not match the energy. 3.8/5 so 4 stars
Schon geil!
Classic Led Zeppelin, good music to listen to.
I miss the energy and creativity from their debut. I don’t know if they could ever top it.
It is great, but not my style
Really enjoyed it, though I think I liked II and IV better. Occasional songs that felt more standard-classic-rock. Still really enjoyed the folk elements, unusual chords, guitar work.
Pretty great
Good but not their best
Really good! May become a 5/5 after a relisten
I’d only heard the first track, so as far as I’m concerned, this is a surprising and varied album. Three stars…
my fave led zeppelin
Less enjoyable than the first one from them. Beginning is very iconic, but after that is very slow. I was just dissapointed.
God kombination af akustisk folk og elektrisk blues-inspireret rock. Det er også et interessant lyduinvers med forskellige typer percussion og interessante harmonier og eksperimenter med reversed lyd på for eksempel That's The Way. Standouts: Immigrant song (Selvfølgelig! Episk åbningsnummer), Since I've Been Loving You (Nok en af de mest bluesede numre på albummet), Tangerine (Godt eksempel på noget akustisk folk). Kommer til at høre albummet igen
Solid album, but not their best. 4 Stars.
1970 - what a fantastic year. This is a great album befitting of the year of its (and my) birth. A post-psychedelic sashay through folk-rock themes.
The sound of a band in transition. Having established themselves as heavy cosmic blues monsters on their first two albums, on their third they are looking for new things to try. It starts with the thundering power of the Immigrant Song - one of the best loved riffs in all rock music - but that's done and out of the way in under three minutes, like they're saying "Well, that's that done, so let's do something new." So straight on to Friends - all tricky time changes, middle Eastern and Indian chords, synthesisers, Bonham just on congas and, of all things on a Zeppelin album, a String Arrangement. Unfortunately, over the top you have Plant coming out with what could best be described as Hallmark Saccharine. ( "The greatest thing you ever can do now / Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now" is a fair example) interesting but not entirely successful. Then into Celebration Day, where Jimmy Page shows off his slide guitar skills. Since I've Been Loving You is sort of Dazed and Confused 2 only bluesier and with keyboards. Out on the Tiles is fine enough and features some great playing, even if it does sound suspiciously like Jeff Beck's recording of Shapes of Things from Truth. With Gallows Pole we seem to head in Fairport Convention territory, with English Folk Rock. With Tangerine with back with The Yard birds, but with bonus steel guitar to give it a Country feel. That's the Way is that remarkable thing: a beautiful Zeppelin song. More folk acoustic guitar and the lyrics are ambiguous. Two boys living next door to each other, one of whose parents don't like him seeing the other. Because he's not their type? A gay subtext? Up to you I guess, but it is an album highlight. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is a lot of fun, full of virtuosic folk guitar and all sorts of off beat stomping. We're a long way from The Hammer of the Gods. But very close to Bert Jansch Finally, Hats off to (Roy) Harper with more acoustic guitar and a vocal effect that probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Go and listen to Bukka White if you want to heat how to Shake 'em Down properly. So then, a band experimenting with what made them huge and trying new things. People who were looking for the next Whole Lotta Love probably didn't find it here and it's not entirely successful, but when they swing and hit its pretty awesome
ive been quite fond of this album cover for a while but as it turns out i dont like the album that much. sad!
Great
Just damn near perfect.
È un album che non riesco a capire appieno, ma ci sono delle canzoni che spaccano e sono fantastiche: immigrant song, since i’ve been loving you, tangerine (quella che mi è piaciuta di più) e that’s the way. Possiamo poi dividere l’album in due metà, la prima più movimentata e spaccona, la seconda, da tangerine in poi, che è invece piu calma e dolce.
Legendary bluesy rock, along with more acoustic stuff than I was expecting
It's a fun album that loses its momentum towards the end. My first Zeppelin album, LZ3 is surely one to remember, but also one to keep me wanting more from the band.
Classic rock, nostalgic for sure!
Immigrant Song is iconic in its own right, followed by some tonal shifts with Friends and Celebration Day. Out On The Tiles is great, but Since I’ve Been Loving You goes at least three minutes longer than it should. Gallows Pole stands out with its roots of old English folk music. Overall, a solid first album on this long journey!
7.5/10 This album has arguably my favourite classic rock song of all time on it, as well as two of my other overall favourites from Led Zeppelin. The rest, as far as Led Zeppelin songs go, I always think are quite uninspiring Favourites: Immigrant Song Since I’ve Been Loving You ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tangerine
An extra star just for Immigrant Song.
awesome
Most people don’t have much regard for this album compared to the totality of Zeppelin’s oeuvre, but I love it. I like that aren’t trying to punch you in the head with riffs on riffs and thundering drums. They’re bringing the folk and their third album. Jimmy playing a lot of acoustic here, Jonsey is bringing the mandolin and synths and Bonham is downright subdued. No orgasmic caterwauling from Plant (just a little Viking battle cry). 4.7^
Consistently strong listen. The first four Zepp albums are just all unequivocal classics. I personally find the first two thirds of the album stronger than the back third, but still it's great. Only real skips for me are "Gallows Pole" and "Hats off...", but otherwise fantastic album.
3/5
awesome vocals
A bit if a snore fest apart from immigrant song

Nothing to get very excited about, nothing to really dislike.
It's Led Zeppelin but this is far from my favorite album of theirs. I appreciate the artistic nature of it but it just doesn't resonate with me quite to the same level of their other albums.
Officially confirmed my assumption that I don't like hard rock

Diooos! Empieza siendo Shrek 3, amo. Por lo demás, me suena muy igual todo. Disfrutona pero para un ratillo. No es mi movida, esto huele a hombre manipulador.
This is a certified classic. Influences run wide and deep. Drums are insane. Mixes rock, blues, acoustic? And folk sounds very well.
Great record! Zepplin 2 thru 4 is a great run of albums. This one is probably weaker than the other two but still, a record with immigrant song on it can't be bad at all
Better than IV
Malo me manje iritirao od drugih Zeppelin albuma. To je napredak.
Niet voor mij.
Classic album that shows the band’s influences in early blues very heavily. Starts with immigrant Song, which is the best song on the album. Probably the weakest of their first four albums but still great.
Pretty darn good.
Noice leuk album met lekkere nummas
This was great...they are band that has stood the test of time for a reason
Is this Led Zeppelin's twangiest album? Not many "hits" on this album but it's still a pretty interesting album. Mostly showcasing Jimmy Page's guitar work. Lots of acoustic and slidey twangy stuff that is pretty interesting. I wouldn't say this is my favorite Led Zepplin album but it's got some pretty interesting song writing.
This was no run of greatest hits like IV, and it was certainly more mellow, but after a second listen, I have a lot of appreciation for this collection of songs. The band is just very talented and that talent shines both in their mellow moments and in the rockin’ ones. I really enjoyed the emotions they conjure up.
good
cualquier disco que comience con Immigrant song ya tiene a la mitad de la audiencia en el bolsillo. No sé si es justo jejeje gran disco. Lo escuché hace mucho, pero qué gusto volver a escucharlo.
Solid album. There’s a good mix of mellow and wack, with something to like about every song. Favorite tracks- Since I’ve Been Loving You and Tangerine
It comes out of the gate strong with Immigrant Song and then immediately goes somewhere fun with Friends. Bron-y-aur stomp always makes me feel good. Gallows Pole is great. Just a fantastic album.
i only need song 1 but the rest is quite cool too
the opening of immigrant song with the, like, george of the jungle howl is pretty good. no thoughts on friends. no thoughts on celebration day. no thoughts on since i've been loving you. no thoughts on out on the tiles. gallows pole has a great rhythm to it. tangerine is the catchiest of the bunch so far but it's kind of a low bar for catchiness (i do not think they are going for "catchy" at all). that's the way has better vocals than the rest, it's sort of ballady, and i think i like that more than the, i don't know, airy/atmospheric vocals of the rest of the album. the opening of bron-y-aur stomp sounds kind of like, banjo-ey and that's pretty dancey but it literally turns into stomp clap which i have been informed via osmosis is cringe. hats off to (roy) harper sounds like someone just found out about knobs and is playing a tape while cranking those knobs all over the place like a child, genuinely stupid song tangerine > bron-y-aur stomp > i guess immigrant song for the cool yelling melody thing and the rest is kind of whatever
10/10
One of these got onto my intimate mix on spotify
I need to remember that this is a lesson in music history more than anything else. It's interesting to hear this album in retrospective to see how many sounds it has inspired. Since I've been loving you is really interesting but prior songs have been sonically basic. Gallows Pole also stands out and immigrant song is a pop culture classic.
- primer track temazo historico - transicion top entre segundo y tercer track - rock 🤘 top y chill
Good. A classic. But I'm so tired of listening to Led Zeppelin.
Discazo folk que demostró que Zeppelin no tenía límites
i yearn for rock n roll dudes to shred their vocal chords again
Feels a bit dated but is still seminal. I find it more folk-sy now. Even somewhat medieval.
It was fine. Kind of disappointing, I don't love Plant's voice.
Never listened to this one all the way through. Good but not my favorite Zeppelin
Plant’s voice is SO FUCKING GOOD. Raspy, strong, dash of whine. I don't think this is the BEST of Led Zeppelin, but I got time for it. Definitely some bangers in the mix. Much like The Beetles after their trip to India and the subsequent Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album, the influence of Zep's worldly travels is pretty evident throughout the album and is a mostly enjoyable exploration into different sounds. Since I’ve Been Loving You – blusey! Immigrant Song – classic Tangerine – jam band
Hmm. Immigrant Song: I liked when I was 16, does not excite me now. Some other songs are okay but not ones I'm keen to hear again. Since I've Been Loving You, on the other hand, was actually rather good, happy to put that into a blues rock playlist. The background on what they were trying for with this album reads okay, my anti-Zep prejudice has stayed quiet, but still not an album I'll play again, I'll call it Good, 7/10.
had to ask myself what this would be like for me if cameron winter sang all the songs and the answer is pretty fucking awesome
Not my favorite Led Zeppelin release, but not half bad
Favourite songs: Immigrant Song, Since I’ve Been Loving You, That’s The Way
Y'know, I think this might be my least favorite of the first four. I'm not steeped in the fandom enough to know if this is a popular or unpopular opinion. Here I was ready to rock, and then discovering there's a bunch of only ok stuff on here I'd forgotten about. Still, pretty good.
Het begint ongelofelijk goed, maar daarna zwakt het iets af. Toch een heel sterk album.
Not good ngl
Mahtava
What an opener! I enjoyed the album.
I will be the first to admit I underrated "Physical Graffiti", I listened to it on a poor stereo system and was talking to my partner the majority of the time. One of these days I'll get around to messaging this site's creator and editing my review there. That being said, Zeppelin and I do not mesh, something about the lead singer's voice and general classic rock vibe is something that I *personally* do not love. This album is beyond competent but its also a snooze from time-to-time. The highs are really high though. 3.5/5
This used to be one of my least favorite Led Zeppelin albums, but upon further review it turns out this is just another genius album from the genius mind of Jimmy Page. 5.0/5.0: Iconic
not much needs to be said about this one
Excellent. Lots of ~vibes~ but the first two tracks are so different and SLAP.
pretty cool
i liked this! of course i knew a few songs already so not entirely new but still a good album nonetheless.
Zeppelin does not disappoint, as usual.
Not exactly a fan…too vintage, which is an odd thing to say as someone who loves older music, but it’s true. Feels like an old antique store with nothing interesting to offer. Obviously well-produced, guitars sound lovely, but it’s so, so, so boring. Just uninteresting. Feels like background noise. Auditory equivalent of talking to an older person who just won’t stop yammering. Wouldn’t return to again.
fine!

People who love their debut and the stellar follow up may not see the goodness on their third release. It's a little different and maybe not as straightforward rock n' roll as its predecessors. "Immigrant Song" is hard rock at it's finest and it's kicked off the album and 1970 in style! Everyone knows that song, just a fact, as nearly a billion people have listened to it on Spotify. "Tangerine" (132M) & "Out On The Tiles" (28M) are popular but underrated as a classic rock songs. "Since I've Been Loving You" (145M) is a radio staple and one of their true slow songs. "Gallows Pole" (36M) was always on the radio when I was a kid but you don't hear it as much now. "That's The Way" (48M) is solid but doesn't feel complete. The other 4 tracks are filler in my book ("Friends, "Celebration", "Bron-y-aur Stomp" & "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper", but all have 10M-44M listens, more than most albums on this list. 3 stars, it's not their finest but it's diverse and the killer songs outweigh the weak ones.
Since I've Been Loving You
A 4.5 rounded up
я снова ничего не осознала кроме того что в иммигранте восточные мотивы
Already listened to it a million times it’s peak
Enjoyed it and the songs are not very well known like other Zep albums except for Immigrant Song. Giving this a solid 4.
Olipa niin legendaarisia kappaleita tässä että huhhels!
Esta bueno, pero no me gusta
not really something i would listen to but it was ok, it was fun at times. faves: since i've been loving you, tangerine, that's the way
Classic, great, 4,5
It's fine, iI honestly expected more from Led Zepplin here
At one point could have been my favorite Led Zeppelin album. It is just so weird and daring, while still having great tracks. They show that they can do medieval sounding folk as good as anyone. Also this is the album of the most slept on Zeppelin songs like "That's the Way" and "Out on the Tiles". This album is 5 stars though I have wore out my welcome with listening to this in full. 4.5 rounded to 5
Led Zeppelin III was quite a change from the first 2 albums which were heavy on updating Chicago Blues to be rock n' roll. More acoustic guitar work, although the first song from the album that I heard was "Immigrant Song" was a continuation of the sound from Led I and II leaning on a Viking theme. "Since I've been loving you" could have easily been on Led Zeppelin II. My favorite of the new quieter sound is "That's the way." But Led Zeppelin needed to make this album in order to progress their sound.
This is the first Zeppelin album I've listened to in full. It's pretty great even if I do find it to be a little inconsistent. Some unbelievable highs here like Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You and Tangerine as well as some other great tracks across the track list. The more acoustic stuff towards the end was a bit hit or miss but I don't think any of those songs were necessarily bad apart from the last one, they just weren't as much to my tastes. Still, the majority of the songs here are great and I would definitely consider returning to this album even if not every song worked for me. Favs: Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Immigrant Song, Celebration Day Least Fav: Hats Off To (Roy) Harper
Aaaaaaaaaaah
Pedal squeak. Witchcraft. Stolen roots music. Valhalla. This is like the hardcore fans favorite Zep album. I really like this one, too. If it's not my favorite then it's an easy second.
I just don't like em that much and this album doesn't need to be here. It's good tho Will I listen to again: 10%
This album seems to have all my least favourite Led Zeppelin songs. Friends, Celebration Day, Gallows Pole and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp all just rub me the wrong way. Despite that, this band is so good that this still might be a five star album for me.
Enjoyed it. Guitars were technical and interesting. Pleasantly surprised when a song with a Welsh name popped up, "Bron-yr-aur"!
9/10 Not a single skip all the way through. Just the way I like it
I mean, whatever I said about them last time around applies. More mostly very pretty ballads.
I like Led Zeppelin. They were a fine heavy rock band. I don’t understand why they are held up as huge innovators, The Beatles of the ‘70s, and I hate that they stole songs wholesale from the likes of Willie Dixon and that some biographers continue to justify the theft because “they made them better songs.” Then again, those biographers also reveal that the band, particularly Bonham and Page, along with manager Peter Grant were basically horrible cunts. That said, rant over and getting back to the music, they did make good records, and Page knew how to produce them. This may have been the first LZ studio album I heard in full (I had put The Song Remains the Same on my Christmas list, thinking that as Deep Purple’s Made in Japan was them at their best, Zeppelin live would be similar - they’re not) as a school friend had it. And it is excellent, one of my favourites. It was poorly reviewed due to the number of acoustic songs on the second side but, Page being a better acoustic player than on electric, it is these numbers that really shine - listen to the space in the lovely “That’s the Way” or “Tangerine”. Never the blues master that Clapton, Taylor, Green and Beck were, Page does shine on “Since I’ve Been Loving You” and “Immigrant Song” is the original Viking metal around which a whole sub-genre has grown. LZ III is a proper album, not just a collection of songs - the way the bubbling synth at the end of “Friends” carries into “Celebration Day” and then disappears forever is excellent. So, when you strip away all the mythology and cultish worship, what you have is a damn fine album by a damn fine rock band. No more, no less, but that should be enough.
banger lowkey, geht schon echt gut
Immigrant Song is one of my favorites by Led Zeppelin. Decent record.
Love.
I love the more acoustic-based sound.
Tangerine is one of my favorite songs of all time and is my favorite LZ song.
Pas du tout aimé
Very good but not 4
Great Album, I love it, It's so interesting and deep, the groovy rock n roll makes me want to swing and cure my depression (joking ofc)
Mucho talento. Oyendo los álbumes completos entiendo por qué son clásicos
A led zeppelin no hay con que darle
Ta cool prefiero el Led Zeppelin I
Only reason this isn't getting a 5 is because I'm reserving it for Physical Graffiti.
8/10 sólido, pero podes morirte sin escuchar sin problema. Canción destacada: That's the way
I like Led Zeppelin but I've never been a fan of this album.
Nope! Next...
This one takes you for a ride from beginning to end, that opener is legendary.
Same vibe as immigrant song, about what I expected
Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album but pretty good anyway
Immigrant song is amazing. The rest is so boring.
Rock ‘n’ folk turned up to 11.
3.5/5
sicher keis schlechts Album aber het mi grad gar ned glustet zums es zweitmal lose zum mich druf achte. Git 3 Halogen Zeppelin
Meh
Good ole Zed Leppelin.
yeah thats good. like the flow
Classic immigrant song, other than that 1 or 2 songs like tangerine, nothing out of this world.
Such a good album, so many good hits, I love the psychedelic and weird focus on it too. It’s so close to a five, it’s a very high four.
Great listen. Given how strong the A-side stands (Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You) which I am more familiar with, I was pleasantly surprised with the more folky/acoustic back end of the album. Favorites: Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine
overrated?
I like the jangly slide guitar. Great opening song, the rest seemed more experimental, or closer to country/folk at times. Need a closer listen but so far not my fave Zep album.
First 3 tracks are good… and then “Since I’ve Been Loving You” shows up, pisses in the punch bowl, and the rest of the party never recovers.
Great album. But, I don’t have any impressions of it…
while being the weakest zepp ive heard so far there is always something interesting going on, the folky vibe contrasts with the overflowing energy of their other works not saying it is bad, but it fails to provide the instant gratification my doomscroller mind is used to makes you want to pick the acoustic and strum the fuck out of it tho
I mean, look. It's Led Zeppelin. Not so much a band as a mystical tribe of Rock N Roll Lords who cast tablets that contained untouchable blasts of rock perfection or something blah blah blah.
what can I say. Its a masterpiece.
Doesn’t feel much like an album. Riffing on old blues songs is cool and all but kinda feel aimless and not albumy. Still an easy 4.
I really like the country-tinged acoustic tracks on this. Probably my least favorite of the big 4 Zeppelin albums, but still an easy 5.
I was actually surprised how well this listens, unlikely to be a part of my collection tho
3/5
Outstanding
Call your Friends and have them listen to this.
Started strong, ended very very meh.
Siempre será un discazo!
Good album
Good album. Not quite as good as led zeppelin 1. Solid 8.5/10 still.
"Immigrant Song" is the best part of this album, well, and to me the best thing Led Zeppelin wrote. But there are a lot of other interesting songs on here, especially the ones that veer to the acoustic like "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp." Some of this is a bit too much Robert Plant for me, but in general it's a reasonable album. "Immigrant Song" bumps it up to 4 stars.
Much more acoustic guitar driven than either of their first two efforts, but comes off just as well. Favorite track: Immigrant Song
Get out yer pitchforks, I'm giving this a 2. Everyone who's anyone has heard the must-listen material from this album already. The rest of the (mediocre, divergent) filler doesn't make the singles better. In fact, it recontextualizes them around milquetoast experiments or bog-standard blues, and thus construes them more as happy accidents in an experimental recording process, not the masterpieces rock radio purports. I find no story arc here, just a hodgepodge of music produced to varying degrees of completion. Take the closer, Hats Off, as an example. Why mix the guitar and voice in such a divergent, hard-panned expanse? The "missing middle" screams "unfinished". If we're supposed to accept this as a complete, self-contained song, mix it like one. It sounds like the missing element was left on mute during the mixdown process. I can't take this album seriously.
Good album but not their strongest. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.
Banger
Amazing production and playing through this. I can see why many give this 5 stars but for me it just wasn’t there. I’d give it 4.5 and maybe with more listens a 5.
si se nota lo setentero, no muy mi estilo pero me agrada la guitarra. Mi FAV FAV FAV (esa si me encanto) es la de since ive been loving you. WOW!!!! y tangerine tambien esta buena yay
