Led Zeppelin III

Huippuhyvä ja monipuolinen! Suosikkeja Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Out on the Tiles ja Tangerine. Erityisesti kappaleessa Since I've Been Loving You on upea kitara, vaikka muut kappaleet ovat kyllä erittäin hyvän kuuloisia myöskin. Taidokasta soittoa ja laulua kaikilta bändin jäseniltä! :)

“Since I’ve been loving you” is so freakin good. It was a favorite of mine when I first heard it 35 years ago. Tangerine is unique. “That’s the way” is great and, as most zeppelin albums, has a clean recording quality that shines the finger plucking on good gear.

This one comes off the ropes swinging with "Immigrant Song" and doesn't stop slapping. Even when it slows down, it feels like it's just trying to lull you into a false sense of security so it can catch you off guard and sucker punch you in the eye.

Wonderful

Weakest of the 4 triology! Still a classic

Five stars for the opening track alone! It's cliché to say this is the best album, but there's a reason folks love it. Solid, dragged a tiny bit in the middle, finished strong. Great album.

Love this album. It's long but it's fantastic. May be my favorite partially because I don't think they stole any of the music for this one.

Not the best album Led Zeppelin made, but it holds a special place in my heart.

Great mix of electric and acoustic. Perfect playing by all involved. Guitar heavy in a perfect way. First four albums really show them developing and improving on their influences.

One of my favorites!

With this album they employed a new artistic strategy called "writing your own songs"

Just a classic.

5/5

twee laatste nummers zeker zijn een eye-opener. staan bij de favorieten

Schlechte fünf Sterne.

wow ! very enjoyable

It's quite hard to think that, when this came out, the detractors came through with full force. Two albums of tectonic plate shifting, blues-indebted rock and roll could have enabled Led Zeppelin to head down that route forever, with no changes to be expect. Instead, they decided to hunker down and seek new sounds. And all the better for it. What was a good indication of the same ol' same ol' later turns into a tapestry of often wonderous tunes that leaves one wondering how they'd become capable of making such music. Without this, we probably wouldn't have had IV or Houses of the Holy or any other Zeppelin albums that came after it. Loving Led Zeppelin III? Well, that's the way.

Solid album. About as close to the best American band of all time as I have ever found. Greatest musical regret is not seeing them live. Gallow's Pole, Tangerine, it's hard to pick a favorite. Maybe That's the Way is the one. Hats Off to Roy is the weakest track and it's still pretty good based on originality alone. Easy 5 for me.

Immigrant song is so overplayed. It's good, but really, the best song on this album is "Since I've Been Loving You." Led Zeppelin III has a lot of the lesser played songs, but it still cooks. Fifty years later, Plant and Page just cannot be paralleled. Not their best, but still an amazing album. Tons of energy and great guitar riffs.

It may be the weakest Led Zeppelin album of the three we have listened to. But it is still an easy 5. Because it's still Led Zeppelin.

I feel like I should give this only 4 stars just to differentiate it from the Zeppelin albums we have had on this list so far...but I can't. Their whole sound is just so iconic and while often imitated, it has never been duplicated. It is to be expected that the third album they put out in the span of less than 2 years will have some weaker material, and it doesn't matter because they are at such a high level that those differences are meaningless.

Used to be my favourite Led Zeppelin album growing up. Loved the shift to the pyschedilic weird folky sound of this record, Friends being my favourite off this and my favourite all time LZ song. Gallows Pole, Immigrant Song, Since I’ve Been Loving You, all belters. Been about 15/20 year since I last heard this but I still love it

5/5

I know it's not most people's favorite Led Zeppelin album, but man is it still so good. Starts with 'Immigrant Song,' which is just catchy and fun and iconic. Most people's favorite Led Zeppelin song is 'Stairway to Heaven,' and for good reason, but 'Immigrant Song' is mine. Then we move into something new and the pace slows down a bit with 'Friends.' It's acoustic, it's different, but that doesn't stop it from being a great song with a sweet message. 'Since I've Been Loving You' is bluesy and powerful and really hits home that you're not going to get the same ol' Zeppelin throughout this album. They play with different styles and it makes for a colorful and unique experience. This felt like Led Zeppelin knowing they were at the top of their game and doing what made them happy, and it comes across through the music. It's not the fastest pace Led Zeppelin has ever been, nor the hardest rock, but to me it's some of the best music they've put out there.

5+ Uskomatonta, jokaisessa biisissä on erilaisia kiinnostavia elementtejä, kaikissa hyvät lyriikat. Biisit soivat paremmin albumissa kuin erikseen. Albumin ulkopuolella soisi parheiten "Tangerine" ja "Immigrant song" ja "Since I've been loving you". Ne ovat albumin erikoisimmat kappaleet, myös ilmeisesti suosituimmat. Akustista kitaraa esiintyy albumilla aika paljon, varsinkin sen loppupuolella.

Even their 4th or 5th best album is five stars from me.

Led Zeppelin is timeless and perfect. Could not make this album if you tried.

Really enjoyed

My first favorite album. So amazing and timeless.

Classic, used to be one of my least favorite Zeppelin albums, but loved it this time.

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.

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

🤟

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

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.

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.

Love this album!

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

Can't go wrong with some Zeppelin

Classic

Oh Zeppelin..you were my love for ages. How can I pick a favorite album.

very cool

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

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 my favourite LZ album and i'd give at least 2 others 5*s so this is an easy rate.

Classic

good

It's a hard choice, but I've always picked this as the best Led Zep album. Pretty much perfect.

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

Probably my favourite album of all time. Still holds up, so completely alive

Masterpiece, one of my favorites from Led Zep

One of my favourite Led Zeppelin albums, some classic tracks on here

One of the greatest rock albums of all times

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Peerless. From the album cover design and artwork onwards, a masterpiece showing Zep at their best.

By the hammer of Thor!

I mean, it's Led Zeppelin.

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

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.

2022.01.07

Masterpiece

Amazing and iconic albums. Every song is brilliant

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.

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

Great album. Nicely different from the others, but still classically Led Zep.

One of my faves

One of my favorites! Love every song!

Absolute bangers all the way through, can't believe i never listened to Zep. Gallows pole FUCKS

Classic Album. What’s there not to like about Led Zepplin and arguably their best album of all time.

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!

Fav songs: - Immigrant Song - Gallows Pole - Tangeringe - Since I've Been Loving You

Awesome unique sound. A classic!

Excellent, classic rock at its best.

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.

A thunderous masterpiece in a string of them from this band.

absolute banger

First time I heard it. I liked it.

Well, this could be the 1001st time I've listened to this classic work. Great stuff.

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!

What a strong start to the album and it just goes from there really

I huck-ing love Zeppelin! Havn't listened to their third album as frequent as the others. However to begin this journey with one of my favourite artists excites me. Stoked!

One of my very favorites. A masterpiece.

This is a top Led Zeppelin album for me. Going to Wales was probably the best thing the band could have done in that point in their career. Here they gain a healthy infusion of folk influence. Jimmy Page's open tuning experiments are some of the highlights of the album. I view this album as Led Zeppelin's Revolver, an album that paved the way for their apex, in this case, the self titled fourth album.

Tolles und wichtiges Album.

Zeppelin rules

Hands down best rock album. Arguably the album that made Rock what it was in the 70s and what it is now

FIVE stars. Strong album. A classic start to finish.

Led Fuckin' Zeppelin is amazing!

GET THE LED OUT!

The real secret to Zep's success was Page's legendary quality control - just about any song on a good Zeppelin record could be a single, and if you were to ask any random music fan about their favorite Zeppelin songs, you'd end up getting wildly different answers from across their catalogue. It's why a largely uncharacteristic record like III works so well - in the end, the largely acoustic folk that comprises about half the record sits surprisingly well next to groove-rockers like "Immigrant Song." Of course it wouldn't be an early Zeppelin record without a super-long blues track, so here's "Since I've Been Loving You," which admittedly does feel less dragged-out than some of their other lengthy blues jams. Fantastic rhythm section - locked-in, never overdoing it. A high point in an album run that was one of the best ever.

One of Zeppelin’s most complete albums - nothing that doesn’t still hold up as a classic

Classic album, front to back. Nothing else to say.

I mean c'mon. Whoever doesn't rate this a 5 is a straight up fool.

GOLD

When I first dove into Led Zeppelin’s catalog a few years ago, I was surprised at how varied their music is compared to their mainstream reputation. This is the first album where they kinda started to deviate from the blues rock they’re mostly known for. “Since I’ve Been Loving You” is probably one of my favorites of theirs.

Why can I not give this six stars!

It's been so long since I've listened to any Led Zeppelin. Always a classic. I think this is probably one of their albums I've listened to the least throughout my life.

5/5 one of their best

Clássico! Apesar de que a versão deluxe capa preta no tidal tá meio assustadora

So good!

It was great!

Obra maestra incuestionable

Discazo de grupo espectacular del rock de comienzos de los 70 con su estilo inconfundible, con toques sureños. Canciones que han aguantado el paso del tiempo y que se han convertido en muy míticas

Classic!

Espectacular, menudo grupazo 💪

a Classic one

I think I liked this one a little better than the last one but I like them both.

Ni modo que no 5

Solid album by a band at its peak!

A blend of folk and rock. Still think Physical Graffiti is their best album

That was fuckin awesome. Loved it.

The greatest band at their peak!

essential listening.

One of the best.

You can’t go wrong with Led Zeppelin. LZ score: 3

fantastic flow and rythm, one of my favorites by Led Zeppelin

Classic zeppelin

this has some of zeps best mistral-esque work

The side closers A + B are the only thing holding III back from a V.

I’ve never been a huge Zeppelin fan, but there’s no denying how talented these guys are. There are probably four or five songs on this album I think are pretty great. Not surprisingly, I like the acoustic, folk inspired songs the most. I thought about giving this a 3 but I have a hard time putting this in the same 3 star category as some of the other albums I’ve given 3s to. I try not to compare albums across bands when I’m rating them, but I’m going to today and bump this to a 4.

Now we are talking! Some of the best rock from the 70’s came from this band and Zeppelin III is rife with bangers. Musically gifted in so many ways, the band created this album using a number of different instruments showcased primarily by Jimmy Page but let’s not forget that Robert Plant’s range is just stupid good.

Monster band. Rock music with nerdy renaissance faire lyrics. They create worlds in their songs and leave the door open for us to enjoy. So many great songs on this album, this would be the pinnacle for most bands, but for Zepplin it only scratches the surface. Hard time rating this, my initial thought was to rate Zepplin albums against one another which would have this at a 3 (note: the zepplin scale is 3 - 5). Then I thought, well, it's not their fault they're so much better than other bands. Why should I give something a 3 on the Zepplin scale when it's a 4 in the real world. All that to say there are far better Zepplin albums ahead, but even at their mid they are so much better than the rest.

Im just impressed. First time rock.

This is one of my favorite Zeppelin albums. My son and I recently did a full listen through of their works on a road trip. Immigrant song is classic. This album has no skips for me. Also special as it was released on the day I was born.

I wasn't moved the way I expected to be. Nice after some questionable albums but may have heard it too many times in a classic rock block

Album 290. Led Zeppelin III (https://open.spotify.com/album/6P5QHz4XtxOmS5EuiGIPut?si=tXWEQfCCQrmkBEvDCRdOGQ) — Led Zeppelin (1970) Absolute comfort classic album. Led Zeppelin for me is almost perfection. Somehow I can't give the highest rating for specific album, but the band itself is definitely 5/5. It has different style, complexity, layers and just sounds good. Goated hard rock that I can endlessly appreciate and consume with a great pleasure. 4/5 Liked: — Immigrant Song — Since I've Been Loving You — Out on the Tiles — Tangerine

Zeppelin 3 sounds like a summer break when you’re a kid to me. Right off the bat, the rattling chaos reverberating off of the guitar, drums, and lyrics feels as chaotic as a final dismissal of a teacher. Friends and Celebration Day are similar to friends and the 4th of July (USA). Since I’ve Been Lving You is the midsummer slow song that musically represents the dog days of summer. Towards the back half you get mellow thought provoking tunes like That’s the Way and Tangerine; two songs that feel like wishing things in life went slower and re-dos were real. That feeling of wanting things to reverse track is what all teens feel in August and these songs emotionally represent that. A roller coaster of emotions, that’s what makes Zeppelin so great. They can make us feel a season of emotions in just one album. Since it makes us feel hopelessly optimistic, it’s only right that it’s a season like summer. Of course, this is subjectively presented and objectively not right, but it was fun… like a Zeppelin album.

Some 5 star songs and impressive diversity. Top notch musicians.

Absolute classic

All things considered, I'm not the biggest fan of Zeppelin, but the first 4 tracks are brilliant. Immigrant song is a classic, Friends and Celebration Day were unexpectedly enjoyable, and Since I've Been Loving You is an absolute showcase for Plant. It does trail off a little as it goes on - i'm not a big fan of the country rock side of things, but it's ok. Its right on the 3/4 boundary, just gets a 4 because that opening stretch is sooo good.

I listened to this album once 10 years ago, and didn't really care for it and haven't listened to it since. I'm excited to see if my feelings on it have changed, because it's the only album of led zeppelin's first 7 albums that I don't really like. On a second listen (and a better appreciation for folk music), I do like this album a tad more, but it is still the weakest of Led Zeppelin's original run of albums. There are only like 3 or 4 songs that I would consider good/great and the rest of them are just average/fine. This is right on the edge of a 4. Low 4.

I mean... it's Led Zeppelin... of course it rocks.

Tangerine is an all time classic, and since I’ve been loving you.

Has some of my absolutely favorite Zeppelin times. Also some of my least. Still great.

Tangerine ❤️

Not the best Zeppelin but still great.

I like this album, i like zeppelin. Good stuff

the band everyone wants to be. it's a shame this album will always be known for Immigrant Song, albeit a classic, but the folky blues tunes like celebration day and thats the way are fantastic.

Geht auch immer!

Don't love it but I don't hate it either. I almost like it, actually.

Yeah. They're pretty good I guess

On the strength of Immigrant Song, I think. Goddamn, I love that song.

I liked the beat and the vibe of the album in general not my fav album but I enjoyed it

This album has some of the best Zeppelin songs ever recorded. Jimmy Page's guitar work on this is out of this world. However, it suffers from inconsistency, so I can't quite give it a 5. A 4.5 would be perfect.

Another Billion play with "Immigrant Songs". This whole album is a classic!

Probably my favourite Led Zeppelin album but doesn’t quite have the consistency of led zep 4.

They have ripped off the bluesmen to get their sound they wanted but they couldn't do it, if they couldn't play. This guys can do just that. Legendary & this doesn't even have the hits. 4

really liked the album didn't listen too intently but was very much music I like. 8.3/10

This is somewhere between a 3 and a 4- I think on a re listen it could be a four. Bron Y Aur Stomp, Immigrant Song and Thats the Way are very cool.

Zeppelin experiments with folk. Great stuff. “That’s the Way” was on our wedding playlist.

Went into this thinking this was near the bottom of the original 4 Led Zeppelin albums, but was hoping it would change my mind. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Still really good, but just not as great as IV and II. Favorite Songs: Immigrant Song, Friends, Gallows Pole

One ace song. Obviously the first.

07/27 Classic album but prefer Led Zepplin IV

Led Zeppelin. They are so solid. This album is simply good. This period is pretty amazing how consistent they were. 4 Boolean: True

I enjoyed the acoustic and folk like sound. I have always been a fan of Led Zeppelin.

*A man sits in a chair at a table outside in a freezing courtyard. Off in the distance, a battle cry slowly emerges. "Ah-e-aahhhhhhhhhhh, ah!" The man takes a look at his frozen coffee mug. "This is fine.", he says nonchalantly

tesao do carai

Great energy

Not the type of song I usually listening to, but I liked it and Led Zeppelin is so iconic

I’m not a massive Zeppelin fan, Jimmy Page is a paedo, something that people just seem to ignore because Zep had great riffs or whatever. To be fair this is a good album, Tangerine is a favourite of mine and immigrant song is a great way to start an album 3.7

pretty neat i think there are better zeppelin albums right. there's some stomp clap on this it's okay, somewhere in the 3pointsomethings to light 4, i'll give it a 4 because there's defo some worse stuff out there on this list of 1001 albums YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE APPARENTLY

I enjoyed the variety on this album. It’s Zeppelin and this showed some different sides of the band.

Immigrant song is straight heat. The rest of the album is just as good! 8/10

la vrdad es un discaso, no me doy cuenta lo mucho que me gusta led zeppelin. tengo que entender que realmente todo lo que escucho de ellos me gsta mucho!!!! muy versatil, me ecnata.

One of my favorite Led Zeppelin albums - not too obsessed with pretending to be Bluesmen, not fully in Lord of the Rings mode. Super heavy at times but not afraid to go light and acoustic. Since I've Been Loving you is probably my favorite of their songs. Must admit there is a lot more filler than some other Zeppelin albums but it's pretty fun filler.

I liked this better than a lot of the Led Zeppelin I have heard. It had less chest-beating

One of their technically best albums, though it doesn’t quite have the same impact on me as IV.

Good hiking music

Gallows Pole thru Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is one of their best 4 song runs.

I have a secret: I don’t even like Immigrant Song. Honestly, Since I’ve Been Loving You is the best track here. If you were to ask me to imagine classic rock, I would hear and see Led Zeppelin. Classic is the best word to describe Led Zeppelin 3.

Awesome album, but given it's my first album I'll give it a 4 to be on the conservative side. Overall, enjoyed all the songs. The first half of the album is more rock-like. A wide range of instruments were used to create funky instrumentals and the vocals are strong.The vocals are strong. Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You are the highlights and they are awesome. The second half of the album mellowed out to be more like folk music and Tangerine and That's The Way are both very lovely songs. I also quite enjoyed these more acoustic songs.

Awesome album from one of the most well known and important rock bands ever. I had actually never heard this full thing before, just the singles. Immigrant song is the easy highlight for me, but Out on the Tiles also got me this listen. Carries a nice groove throughout. Jimmy Page is an incredible guitarist on here, yet I wanna highlight Joh Bonham's drumming especially on Out on the Tiles.

Underrated!

Not.my favourite, but still a cool Zep album

I don’t think this is peak Led Zeppelin, but it’s still good! Even if each song doesn’t always stick the landing, I appreciate how this is more blues/folk and a left turn from their typical sound. Likes: Immigrant Song; Since I’ve Been Loving You; Gallows Pole; Tangerine; Bron Y Aur Stomp

Dad listened to this a lot when I was growing up. I know all the songs already. When I was younger this sound made me feel woozy and carsick. Although now I can appreciate it much more, the sense memory is still there - I feel anxious and unwell. I will appreciate from a distance.

a good zeppelin album not a bad track

A great old rock album, it has suck a enchanting and relaxing vibe Fav songs - Immigrant Song, Tangerine 4/5

It's the music that the people that used to beat me up in high school listened to.

I went through a big Led Zeppelin phase in 9th grade when I collected all their albums on CDs. I remember finding this one used at a CD shop in Colorado. While it has Since I’ve Been Loving You which is one of my all time favorite Zeppelin songs, it also has the weakest second half of any album — Hats Off to Roy Harper being one of their weakest tracks. This listen through pretty well confirmed my previous take, though I forgot what a great track Celebration Day is — that might be my second favorite. The solo in Tangerine is among the best Jimmy Page has put down on an album.

Led Zeppelin is another band that I’ve never heard a record from up until this point. I’ve heard Immigrant Song many times before, so much so that I sort of have to get it out the “overplayed” area in my head. It is a driving, high-energy track that opens the record on a great note. I was convinced I was going to completely love this album four or five tracks in. The production is outstanding, the intensity and cinematics had me in awe, and Plant’s performances added everything I could want and more. Unfortunately, the last few tracks of the record were a step down in every way and this inconsistency knocked it down a point. No more than that, though, because the high highs were so impressive. 1 listen Favorite Tracks: Since I’ve Been Loving You, Friends, Immigrant Song, Tangerine, Out on the Tiles

Not the best zeppelin but still pretty good

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.

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. Other Thoughts:

Ei ihan parasta Zeppeliiniä, mutta onhan tässä hyvää menoa ja pari legendaarista kipaletta.

Oikein hyvää vanhan liiton rokkia. Tätä tuli joskus paljonkin kuunneltua.

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.

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

Velmi dober

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

Not a Zepp fan generally, but it’s a good album! Favourite track: Immigrant Song

Is there a more distinctive opening 3 seconds to any album?

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.

Classic

Klassisches Rockalbum, Gitarrenriffs, bluesig.

pretty good actually

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

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

This is awfully close to a 5 but it’s still a very very good album

one of the GOAT 💥immigrant song 💥gallows pole 💥tangerine

Let’s gooooo

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.

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.

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.

you can tell zeppelin's influence on jeff buckley in this record. really enjoyed this one.

Epic record, one of their best.

8/10… classic rock / *1970

Very strong start, but found my enthusiasm waning by the end

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.

Amazing how their worst albums from the first 6 aounds

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.

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

Fire. Favorite tracks: Friends, Since I've Been Loving You

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

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.

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.

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

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" ).

Great album, not one of their better ones out of the LZ tetralogy. But still a good album but a legendary band.

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!

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

Really good! May become a 5/5 after a relisten

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

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.

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!

An extra star just for Immigrant Song.

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.

awesome vocals

Overall: 3.925 (rounded to 4) Consistency: 3.7 Originality: 4 Virtuosity: 4 Enjoyment: 4 1. Immigrant Song - 5 2. Friends - 4 3. Celebration Day - 4 4. Since I've Been Loving You -5 5. Out on the Tiles - 2 6. Gallows Pole - 5 7. Tangerine - 3 8. That's the Way - 3 9. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - 4 10. Hats Off to Harper - 3

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.

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.

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

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

i only need song 1 but the rest is quite cool too

One of these got onto my intimate mix on spotify

- primer track temazo historico - transicion top entre segundo y tercer track - rock 🤘 top y chill

Feels a bit dated but is still seminal. I find it more folk-sy now. Even somewhat medieval.

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

Het begint ongelofelijk goed, maar daarna zwakt het iets af. Toch een heel sterk album.

What an opener! I enjoyed the album.

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.

Enjoyed it and the songs are not very well known like other Zep albums except for Immigrant Song. Giving this a solid 4.

Classic, great, 4,5

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

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"!

I mean, whatever I said about them last time around applies. More mostly very pretty ballads.
