Reviews (page 6 of 15)
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

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.
banger lowkey, geht schon echt gut
Immigrant Song is one of my favorites by Led Zeppelin. Decent record.
I love the more acoustic-based sound.
Tangerine is one of my favorite songs of all time and is my favorite LZ song.
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
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
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
Rock ‘n’ folk turned up to 11.
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
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.
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
Good album but not their strongest. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.
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.
This album marked the shift in Zep's sound towards more acoustic, especially on the second half of the album. Those songs are like "Zeppelin Unplugged" and "Tangerine," "That's the Way," and Bron Y Aur Stomp" is one of the best sequences in their catalog. And the monster riffage of "Immigrant Song" is one of their very best. I always gravitated to their other albums but, listening now, this one has a lot of appeal and hinted at what was to come.
A lot more deep cuts here than on other Zep albums but starts off with a bang with Immigrant Song. Musicianship is off the charts. Jimmy Page displays his mastery of both acoustic and electric, but I especially love listening to John Bonham's percussion, some brilliant fills. Not every song is great, some boring white man's blues like on the last track, but it's still a super fun listen for the instrumentals alone
Poco que decir, este lo tengo muy mascado ya. Está chulo, Since I've been loving you hace mucho carrito, vaya temón estratosférico. Robert Plant me parece un tipo capaz de lo mejor y lo peor con su voz.
Great. Not their best but a fantastic album.
U can hear where Jeff buckley got the inspiration and influence from oh my godddddddd!!!@@ help me please the yells and the riffs and the instruments and the vibrato in singing and the word repetition and the way he pronounces some lines AHH!!! And the their voices sound sort of similar,,, the drummer omg i love and the style of writing WAWWW the fucking guitar playing my ears are being blessed i love it. So basically it's a nice album and it will probably grow on me with time cause im a bit not used to such music but they're rad :p
Classic rock with 'immigrant song' and 'since I've been loving you'. Mixed with mystical folk Zep. Loads of great stuff on here. Enjoyed it more than 2 and 4 which surprised me.
Led Zep II...5. Led Zep IV ..5, led Zep Phys. Graph....5. Love Zeppelin. I like Zep III. 3.6667. Call it a somewhat generous 4.
I liked this more than other Zeppelin material I’ve heard. It has a more stripped back and acoustic sound, which makes it a bit of a full-on listen than other albums. Since I’ve Been Loving You probably the highlight in that style, and Immigrant Song of course a classic in a more conventional Zeppelin style, I’m not sure I like Plant’s vocal style enough to give it more than 4, but a good listen.
I really enjoyed the wider range of instrumentation on this record, with the use of strings and the folkier influences. While more obviously hard rock opener ‘Immmigrant Song’ is one of the best tracks, the more acoustic songs are among the strongest tracks here. I’m particularly fond of ‘Tangerine.’
one of those bands i've been aware of basically all my life but never properly heard anything from - many bangers !
Tangeriiiine tangeriiiiiiine
pretty alright
Not my favorite Zep album but it gets a 4 because it's Zep. The Immigrant Song is a great hockey song.
Really good, my only complaint is it’s impossible to match the energy of immigrant song so it feels like it hits a immediate high that it doesn’t reach again
Love the Zep. This is nowhere near their best album but it’s still 4 stars.
Man, it has been forever since I got a Led Zeppelin album. About 20 months in fact! That's crazy. But you know what? I'm not too upset about that. I do like Led Zeppelin, obviously, but not I'm not as head-over-heels in love with them as many others are. Of course, I do still enjoy much of their stuff and Led Zeppelin III here has some of that stuff on it. This is probably the weakest album I've heard of theirs for the project so far, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Led Zep III is on the more experimental side of the band's albums and I appreciate that. Not every experiment works, but most of them do! The music of the album is obviously great. That's probably the best compliment I can give Led Zeppelin is that the balance between the talent of every band member is remarkable. Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham are all legends of their instruments, and Robert Plant's voice is rather exciting. But the talent doesn't shine if the songs are bad. Fortunately, this thing's got some good songs on it. "Immigrant Song" is by far the most iconic song on this album and for good reason. It's rather short, but it's just so cool. I don't really consider Led Zeppelin a metal band, but "Immigrant Song" is absolutely a metal song. It's great. Going from the album's shortest song to its longest, we have "Since I've Been Loving You," which is pretty great too. It's a bit slower, but I really love the atmosphere of the song. This album actually has some pretty good organ work from John Paul Jones and this song shows that off very well. And that solo from Jimmy Page? Awesome. "Tangerine" is super cool. I love the acoustic guitar tone and the chord progression on this one. It's pretty neat. Not every song is 100% a winner. In fact, the album ends on what is easily its weakest song "Hats off To (Roy) Harper." This is one of the few experiments on the album that doesn't do it for me. I just wish the album ended on a bit of a stronger note. The album's writing has some neat pieces of inspiration. The production is pretty great. It's Led Zeppelin. I shouldn't have to tell you that this is good. 4/5.
Already rating 4-5 stars
My Led Zeppelin discovery continues apace. I like the contrast between the rocky first half of this album, which reinforces my preconceptions, and the folky, acoustic second half.
The one where the band settles the argument over whether they're just blues-rock braggadocios: they stretch out into folk and pop territory and every song lands beautifully. That said, I miss the consistently balls-out attitude of the first two albums. A slightly peevish 4*
I love this Led Zeppelin albums. Starts off strong AF with Immigrant Song, includes Stairway to Heaven - shows their range. The last song is a little weird and the others pale in comparison to these two but are still solid.
Jezus christus wat een force was LZ van 1969 t/m 1975. Ben niet eens helemaal weg van hun muziek; tenminste, ik noem mezelf geen fan. Maar je kunt toch niet anders concluderen dan dat er geen beter rock-band was binnen deze tijdsframe. Robert Plant is een zanger die zoveel ruimte inneemt binnen een band, en dat zou bij elke andere groep een probleem worden na een album of 2, maar Led Zeppelin is zo'n surplus aan verschillende kwaliteiten dat zelfs zo'n lead perfect in balans valt. Dit album barst ook wel weer van dat talent; de ingenieuze riffs, de overweldigende drums, en altijd die souplesse van switchen tussen alles van folk, via funk naar vuige blues rock. En vooral dat funky, boogie element hoorde je steeds meer in hun discografie terugkomen vanaf deze plaat, wat we op 'Physical Graffiti' ook terughoorde. 'Out on the Tiles' heeft die 70s dansvloer energie die je voorheen niet kon voorstellen bij de band. Echt perfect getimed na de typische LZ slow blues burner 'Since I've Been Loving You'. En dan zonder enig probleem een liefelijke folk compositie als 'Tangerine' en 'That's the Way' implementeren, zonder dat het uit de toon valt. Dus weer is de conclusie; Led Zeppelin is zoveel meer dan 'It's been a long time since I rock and rolled!!'. Gewoon weer een rijk en steengoed album, eigenlijk. 8,5/10 Highlights: Immigrant Song Out on the Tiles Tangerine
I really love this album; top 3 or 4 zeppelin albums for me. Right on the line between 4.5 and 5 but I'm going 4.5.
Fantastic album but feels a little less cohesive than some of their best stuff. Immigrant Song is such a fantastic opener but I feel it’s a verse short. Tangerine is my favorite tune.
An entire extra star for Immigrant Song alone. The rest is... neat?
Creative, innovative, and displayed a wide variety of styles (almost to the point of losing coherence). Best stuff for me was Gallows, Loving You, and Roy Harper.
Led Zeppelin has like 3 or 4 better albums than this ngl, still a good listen
Cool album lots of interesting concepts. It’s hard to top immigrant song at the start of the album. However, even though the first song was the best there weren’t any songs I disliked on the album.
Thus was another surprise. I never thought I would enjoy so much Led Zeppelin, but apparently I do. Started really well with Immigrant Song and the rest was just the same amazing vibe, a little bit folk with a mysterious atmosphere. I will give it a 4 as I think itvloses a little bitbof steam in the end, but surely, this entered my list of "must listen again many times" 4/5
Chill zeppelins are the best zeppelins
absolutely gorgeous, the first quarter (not counting the immigrants song) was wacky 4.5
tremendo clásicoooo. Since i´ve been loving you de mis canciones favoritas
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bra Zepelinalbum men tycker de har bättre. Finns några mellanspår som inte är dåliga men som inte heller lyfter hela vägen. Tillräcligt bra för en solid 4a. Bäst är Immigration song, Celebration day, Since I've been loving you, Out on the tiles, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur
Yeah brother
Of the first 4 self-titled Led Zeppelin albums (sort of; the 4th one is always a subject of debate) this one is probably the most ignored. It's the folkiest and the most psychedelic of the bunch, that's for sure, so many fans who expected the driving, air-raid siren rock that defined the previous 2 (and almost the 4th one too) were in for a surprise. Recorded in the English countryside, you can definitely hear the pastoral influence of their environment on these songs. There's shockingly few rockers here outside of "Immigrant Song," easily the most famous tune to come off of this album. That gives Robert Plant the breathing room to showcase how versatile he really was. It's on songs like "Friends" and "That's the Way" that Plant proves there was more to him than the macho gesturing and the tornado warning siren of the debut and sophmore albums. Besides that, the instrumental palette is also much more varied, giving the listener acoustic guitars, strings and even the occasional flute, all without forgetting the classic Zeppelin hallmarks of a blues ballad ("Since I've Been Lovin' You" - easily one of Plant's best performances) and the closer "Hats off to (Roy) Harper," which covers a song by the criminally underrated Bukka White. This is certainly the most unconventional of the classic Zeppelin albums, but it's no less effective at adding another layer to the myth they had already established early in the decade. Key Tracks: Immigrant Song, Friends, Since I've Been Lovin' You, That's the Way
I love immigrant song, all time banger
My POP was a huge Zep fan, saw them live in the States and all that. As a young kid, I remember being fascinated by this album cover — turning the wheel to change the pictures through the cut-outs — and the blistering Immigrant Song, which always slaps when 100 watts are pushing those sound waves off the cones and coming at ya. When I got older I gravitated to the almost punk Communication Breakdown on their debut and spent more of my time with I & II when I wanted to put on records that we both could enjoy. But it's through soaking in their first two albums that Led Zeppelin III is meaningful. It's more expansive and is a document of a band both ascendant and searching. Maybe they are not quite at the peak of the mountain here, but the missteps are small and still in service of making the climb. Legit unclear if we'll arrive at 4 or 5 stars, though, since it's not part of my personal great works canon but I'd begrudge no one for either rating.
When the Generator assigned me Led Zeppelin's debut album earlier this month, I certainly didn't expect to get LZII five days later and LZIII ten days after that... but hey, I'm not complaining! I was originally a bit annoyed that Physical Graffiti had to be my first Led Zeppelin experience (in spite of how much I enjoyed that album), so getting to hear their original four LPs in release order has certainly been a surprising treat. Led Zeppelin III was an interesting one. It starts out feeling absolutely massive in scale with the iconic "Immigrant Song" and slowly peels back its layers before concluding with the acoustic/vocal number "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper." On one hand, I can appreciate how the album seamlessly transforms from one sound to another. On the other hand, it'd be dishonest if I failed to point out that it changed from something I really liked to something I kind of didn't. To be completely fair to LZIII, I felt like I was going to rate it five stars for the majority of first run through it – classic rock doesn't get much better than Side A of this album. It wasn't until the LPs final few minutes that the thoughts of "maybe this one actually does have a couple of skips" started creeping in. All that said, I enjoyed LZIII about as much as I enjoyed LZII – this one has higher highs (and lower lows), but I love how consistent the previous album came across. I reckon Physical Graffiti is still my favorite from the band overall. Bring on Led Zeppelin IV! Highlights: Immigrant Song, Friends, Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, Out on the Tiles, Gallows Pole, That's the Way
Very solid album. Rock done right. Since I've Been Loving You and Gallows Pole are the two best songs
great album - don't have much to say about it
Absolutely rips. Never thought I would be a zeppelin enjoyer but this bangs
Goated 4.9
i wanted to like all of it but the first few songs are quite annoying, some of the later ones are better
The whole album is short and sweet, with variety and depth. Unlike some of their other albums.
What a great album! So much blues influence on this one.
Bought this on vinyl recently and it is an absolute treat. I used to not be super fond of Led Zep III, but nowadays I find this album to be fun, beautiful, and rad. Not perfect, but damn near close!
(5/7) when they rock they rock a little hard for me but I like when they mellow out
Aaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaahhhhhhhh aaaahhhh.
Good, but a couple steps down from their others. I would normally give it a 3 but it gets a 4 since it came the day after that Mariah Carey bullshit.
Led Zeppellin III me parece simplemente una energia maravillosa e inagotable, a pesar de tener 56 años suena increiblemente moderno. Me resultaron muy acertados los instrumentos agregados y esa inclinacion folk que con la voz de robbert se siente como el cielo, el clima del disco cambia como si estuvieses en el ojo de una tormenta puede ser soleado, oscuro, peligroso o calmo.
Bluesy. Would listen to this one again.
Best Song: Gallows Pole. The whole song rocks, but the banjo really elevates this into something transcendent. Worst Song: Hats off To (Roy) Harper. Whatever vocal warble effect they're putting on Robert Plant's voice is wholly unnecessary. Overall: What struck me most here is how light and fun the majority of tracks here were. Obviously anything by Zeppelin is influenced by the weight of history, especially when so many of their most lauded tracks trend towards the heavy or epic side of their discography. That makes it easy to forget that a lot of their music was fun, bluesy stuff like this.
might be actually the hardest intro ever recorded
Haven’t listened to this one since 7th grade. As I’ve gotten older and learned to appreciate the blues, I prefer this over IV which sounds like blasphemy but oh well
good album solid 8/10 best song: Since I've Been Loving You
really great loud hard rock album with prominent folk sounds, thoroughly enjoyed.
Yes, yes, yes. why haven't I listened to this before?
Not the album I was expecting, but I enjoyed it. Not the best Zeppelin, but still great.
Exceptional.
Did we need all these Led Zeppelin albums on the list? Probably not. I don't mind.
The Good: Zep! The Bad: Album title that is just too close to bad… The Ugly: Who wants to be known as “the Third”? I really wanted to love this album… because I’ve loved all the previous LZ albums that have been presented to me on this list. And this album should be loved… Just not by me. I don’t know… I didn’t get that WOW feeling this time around. It’s too much… or too little… I should give the album 3 1/2* and push it upwards, but I am almost inclined to shove if to 2*… which would be unfair… shall I give it another listen? Damnit… 4*
Guapísimo, pero un 4
Solid vibes
Pas mal pas mal je vais réécouter avec plus d'assiduité et concentration je pense hihi 3.90
I have not listened to a full Led Zeppelin album for years. Not since first getting into the rock genre, at around 14 (an age which I'm sure marked the same thing for many others). Since then I have learned about their some of their controversies, including the stealing of songs that made them famous. But hey, I also remember a lot of their material being good. Let's test out that whole "separate the art from the artist" thing, and also see how imparcial I can be to the music I listened to as a teenager. I won't rememeber some of these as well as others. Immigrant Song is a banger, a classic, nothing else to add. Friends is fun, intriguing even. Don't know how much I would have enjoyed it at first listen, but right now I like it. I do not enjoy Celebration Day that much. While not bad, it overstays its welcome. Since I've Been Loving You is an unc classic. You can see so many men playing the air guitar to it. But it's also an unc gem. Can't talk too much shit about a song when it's this good. Robert Plant's at his best here. Out on the Tiles feels kind of disjointed (this word has become my favourite in writing all these reviews). I like parts of it (expecially the "uh-yeah"), but the full product does not work. I have no memory of ever hearing Gallows Pole, but I actually really like it! Love the way it builds up, and the ending was great. I used to love tangerine, the fruit, before I found out I was slightly allergic to them. And I used to listen to tangerine, the song, while I ate tangerine, the fruit, and feel happy about life. So this song does remind me of that. It is good outside of my sentimental association with it (it's incredibly catchy), but it will always take me back to those times. Sweet! A ballad about childhood friends is not the direction I thought this album would take, but I'm not complaining. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, despite the dumb name, is a lot of fun, mostly due to the percussion. Weird closer. Always thought so. I really liked this! I remember feeling like III was the least good of the Led Zeppelin self-titled's, and if that is the case then that just speaks to the quality of their early work (or the work of those people they ripped of).
Great album, however not Led Zeppelin’s finest in my opinion. Lots of songs that are good not great.
Love a lot of this album. Very different for Zeppelin, more acoustic and folk influence. Immigrant Song IS rock 'n' roll to me. Also loved Since I've Been Loving You and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.
4.5 My least favourite of their first 6 albums but still great
Me gustó.
Heavy metal classic
Immigrant Song, baby!
Tommone yks äkäne klassikko. Suurin osa biiseistä kuulosti siltä et olisin hirvees acid tripis, eli hell yeah. Paras biisi oli yllätys yllätys: immigrant song. Arvosana: joku 3,75/5
Classic. 3.7
Ah ah AAAAAAAAH aH!
Favourite Led Zep album. Somehow Plant’s voice fits better on this one (always the thing I struggle with tbh). There is a more folky, bluesy, dirty gritty vibe to it. Variety of sound from track to track makes it an entertaining listen. 4
Pretty awesome album that I haven't really given a full listen to before. As much as I don't have a taste for some of this stuff anymore. Teenager me loved it. So some nostalgia blooms when listening.
I have to be honest this is good music
Led Zeppelin's third full-length (coincidentally, the third album of theirs I'm looking at for this challenge) pushes their folk influences further to the forefront than their first two. those other LPs certainly had their acoustic moments, but LZIII calls pretty stark attention to them by virtue of how its two sides are sequenced. it's side A for the electric tunes, side B for the acoustic. we've got the radio staple "Immigrant Song" kicking the whole thing off, a bit of a deceiving start considering all the different diversions the band makes. some songs point eerily to the near future. for instance, the introduction of "Tangerine" instantly brings "Stairway to Heaven" to mind, which would appear on their next record; similarly, "Out on the Tiles" sounds to me like a beta version of "The Ocean" from Houses of the Holy. overall, while there's plenty of choice cuts to pick from here, I think some of this band's other albums give their eclecticism a better showcase. although, definitely make sure to check out the epic seven-and-a-half-minute 6/8 blues rager "Since I've Been Loving You". decent 7/10.
I love when music from 1970 can still be so exciting to hear more than 50 years later. The opening of Immigrant Song is just too good. The rest of the album is quite good too!
I'm a little on the fence with this album. Its well worth the listen and having a spot on this list, but I still didn't enjoy it as much as other Zeppelin albums, especially Led Zeppelin IV. Immigrant Song is an incredible way to kick off this album though, shoutout to Jack Black and School of Rock for the introduction to that song and all kinds of classic rock.
This is my least favorite Led Zeppelin album and it's still a 4 star album. That's just how good and consistent Zeppelin is. "Immigration Song" is one of the most recognizable songs of all time just from the opening notes. To make a song that iconic and rock and roll and then follow it up with the bluesy "Since I've Been Loving You" is so impressive. Love Zep. They truly are in a league of their own.
Ahh, Zeppelin III. The one numbered Zeppelin album I don't own on vinyl. It's also the third Zeppelin album I've had generated after I and IV. Immediately upon pressing play, you get hit with the legendary "Immigrant Song", which dares the rest of the album to outdo it. The rest of the album is more experimental than Zeppelin's first two albums, often trading balls-out hard rock for quieter blues and acoustic numbers. It's easily the most mellowed-out of the numbered Zeppelin albums, and is as a whole a very different experience. That said, it's still Led Zeppelin, so expect wailing vocals and stomping, loud drums even in some of the quieter moments. It's widely considered the weakest of the numbered albums, and I find myself agreeing with that sentiment. Notably, Hats Off to Roy Harper is by far the worst song on all four albums. II and IV are better, and I is pretty close in quality to this one.
Immigrant Song carries this album hard, but I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize this as a banger of an album.
Easy listening, groove worthy, good guitar solos, I bobbed my head on and off.
I like this album but some of the songs just aren't for me
Second half and first song
Haven’t finished it yet
Favorite Track: Born-Y-Aur Stomp
one of their more tender albums. almost brought to tears. I enjoy that this album isn’t so high energy. so underrated. you certainly have to be in a certain mood to enjoy it and when that time comes, it smacks
I always think of this as the real bluesy one. Great songs. Really like the change in pace from Led Zep 2. This was a great listen.
Get the Led out! The regular segment on classic rock station Q95 played an hour of Zeppelin quite often. I think this is the fourth Zeppelin album that I've gotten on the generator. And I'm all for it. This isn't my favorite album of theirs, but damn is it good.
Do I like Zep? Guys I think I might like Zep. Not every song was a winner for me, but enough were that I plan to revisit this. Who knew!
о та, попищіть мені на вуха улала шо це за колискова ґалловс пол
Great album like acoustics songs the best
Para ser honesto comencé este álbum con muchos prejuicios. Asumí que por el género no me iba a gustar y cuando escuché Immigrant Song asumí que no iba a ser un álbum para mí. Pero para mi sorpresa, disfruté bastante este álbum, varias canciones me gustaron y pude conectar bastante con las vibras del hard rock.
Tbd
8.5 / 10
(87/100)
The best Led Zep album? I'm surprised not to give it a 5. It's a 4.5. A couple of weak tracks take from the glory of Bron Y Aur stomp, Gallows Pole, Since I've been loving you. We rave about Page's electric guitar prowess, but he's possibly better on acoustic.
Très bon
It’s ight maybe I’m too uncultured to see what the hype is about. So far the immigrant song and tangerine are the only songs that really scratch that itch for me. I think this may be one of those cases that I like the music that was influenced by this album more than I like the album itself.
3.95
I need to listen to more zeppelin
Bon Album. À réécouter pour sélectionner les meilleures musique. 7,5/10
stabil
Beautiful album, loved the guitars
Probably my least listened to album of the ‘69-‘75 Led Zeppelin discography. While it was good overall I personally believe it’s a bit weaker than the others perhaps mainly in the ‘banger’ category. Starts off strong with Immigrant song but fails to meet the highs of that imo but the level of quality doesn’t drop massively even after this. Still an amazing album from a generational band but not quite getting over the threshold to push it to a 5 star rating.
Definitely the Zeppelin album I’ve listened to the least previously. It’s not my favourite by then, for sure, but it’s still great. I think there maybe 2/3 that I would give a 5/5, but this just didn’t quite do enough for me.
Lowkey earthy.
Led Zeppelin III walked so that Led Zeppelin IV could run.
I liked it mostly. I particularly the bluesey Since I've been loving you, also gallows pole and Tangerine. Im not massive on Robert plant's vocals but overall this was a worthwhile listen
That falsetto, though.
Great album, but it only has a couple songs that stand out to me, at this point. However, it is very well done, and the remaster sounds great. Definitely another classic, as all those initial Zeppelin albums are.
i mean yh
my new fave led zeppelin! FO!
I’m not sure this album really makes sense but it’s pretty good, I like the more folky songs and there’s some absolute classics on here
Solid
Actually pretty good, nonce though
I've never really gotten into Led Zeppelin which is probably my own fault but whatever. I liked the "chiller" vibe of a lot of these (like Tangerine, That's the Way, etc.). Not really what I expected from Led Zeppelin! Favorites: Gallows Pole, Tangerine, That's the Way
The first five Zep records are canonical, but this has to be my least favorite of the bunch. But that also means this is purely very good instead of excellent. I just don't tend to want to pull this one when I want to listen to them. Maybe a bit too acoustic for my tastes, at least for what I'm looking for out of this band.
Fav- Bron-Y-Aur stomp 4/5
A little more jamming and noodling than I would like, but you can't argue with The Immigrant Song.
это легендарно
Для меня единственная песня - that’s the way. Все остальное мимо. особенно последняя. надо еще в тексты вчитаться. Или не надо.
Sounds so fresh compared to LZ 1. Loved it but some of the songs do outstay their welcome.
Such a great album!
Really strong start and consistent throughout. Found myself enjoying the 12 string and slide guitar parts especially.
It's not their best but there's some great tracks on this one.
It opens with "Immigrant Song," a classic. Everything else on here, I'm encountering for the first time and, while nothing else really wowed me, it's generally pretty good quality. Weak 4-star rating.
Immigrant song. Great track
It’s Zeppelin so cannot go wrong!
Good album. Other than the big ones like Immigrant Song and Tangerine, I didn’t find it overly memorable, and the last track was kind of annoying. But it’s solid.
Led Zeppelin is back. Much to my surprise, the only song I was familiar with was the opener, which in my humble opinion carries this album heavily. Without it, I would actually rate this album a solid 3. As it stands though, much like Jimi Hendrix, even Led Zeppelin songs that I don’t recognize are still great. While my favorite song is undoubtedly “Immigrant Song”, which is a timeless classic, I did also thoroughly enjoy “Since I’ve Been Loving You” and “Tangerine”. I’m actually kind of baffled to not have heard of literally any of these songs before. I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin my entire life, so to find this many deep cuts was actually a bit surprising to me, especially for one of their numbered albums. On the site, this is the second lowest rated of the Led Zeppelin albums, and yet still one of the highest rated albums on the site in general. For me, so far, I have rolled 3/5 Led Zeppelin albums. My rankings so far would have to be this as my least favorite, followed by Physical Graffiti, and then Led Zeppelin 2. Still to go are 1 and 4, the ladder of which is undoubtedly going to be my favorite. I don’t know man, I just found this one kind of whelming as a whole. Like, I see why 3 isn’t talked about as much as the more praised albums like 4. It definitely paved the way, but it’s not nearly as good. It’s Led Zeppelin, so it is still better than most of the albums I’ve heard so far on the site, but admittedly I’m largely going to forget this one compared to their other albums. I would DEFINITELY not call it disappointing, but it was kind of fillery. As previously stated though, Led Zeppelin filler is still totally killer, even though I don’t think a lot of these songs rank up their with the all time greats. Plus, it gave me a few to add to the frequent rotation. Always a bonus. This one is going to get a 4.2/5 for me. Still outstanding by the standard definition, but a little underwhelming by Led Zeppelin standards.
I was really surprised by this album. It was a lot more atmospheric than I was expecting. Some absolute bangers yes, but a lot of mood pieces.
TANGERINE!TANGERINE!TANGERINE! — me when I saw this (Tangerine is in my top 50 fav songs)
Felt like a space cowboy hehe
I liked how the album started and how it smoothly transitioned into blues. Very interesting work.
Amazing album. Almost perfect. Kind of loses steam at the end for me. But some of Zeppelin’s best tracks of all time are here.
Yay!
Not the biggest LZ fan but I loved this whole album
Very good!
Led Zeppelin III is the third studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 5 October 1970. The album showed a progression from straightforward rock towards folk and acoustic music. The album was one of the most anticipated of 1970.
Not my favorite Zep album, but still better than 75% of the albums on this list so far.
That’s Led Zeppelin alright Only song I knew from this one before was Immigrant Song (which still goes hard), so was kinda surprised by the contents of the rest of the album. There’s a lot of cool instrumentation going on (listen to that bass!) and I love some of those transitions. I just don’t know how I feel about the folk/acoustic sound paired with Plant’s vocals. The ones that are more subdued sound pretty good, but I just don’t like how Friends or Hats off sound. This is one where I’ll happily stick to the bangers and probably not listen to the full album again, but man the highs are high
Absolute classic. Only thing keeps this from full 5 stars is the oft-played and seriously overrated Immigrant Song and the brevity of the album. Several tracks from Physical Graffiti were recorded in these sessions, always wondered what could have been... From Friends to Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, That's The Way, and that absolute classic Bron Y Aur Stomp, this comes at you and doesn't stop. When I was younger, it was a mission to find the 45 single Hey Hey What Can I Do, B side to Immigrant Song. Always loved that song, was eventually released in a box set years later. 4 1/2, but I'll go 4.
Good album, pretty sure everybody can agree on that. I feel like I was forced to listen to this album a few too many times and that causes just the slightest bit of resentment for this album. I feel like there were the iconic songs that I was just waiting for, and I didn’t really listen to the other songs. Still, good album.
Enjoyed this a lot, not as much as the other LZ albums I've gotten on here though. Loved the folkiness of it.
La primera mitad del album está bien. Luego, simplemente no es mi estilo.
Immigrant Song hits differently in 2026.
Not nearly as good as iv, it's still good but not amazing. I like led zeppelin, but some of the songs here were misses
Always found Led Zeppelin a bit intense, but this album was a gentle introduction to their music.
One absolute banger followed by 10 decent songs. Hard to meet the bar set by Immigrant Song but a totally decent listen, almost to the end.
Refined
I'm not sure I've listened to this entire album, but certainly many of the tracks are familiar. Here's my thing with Led Zeppelin: A lot of my formative years were spent listening to classic rock radio in the late 80s through the 90s. And Led Zeppelin was such a consistent staple of those radio stations, that I just got tired of them. So I've been mostly on a pretty strict "No-Zep" diet for quite a while. In addition, as a guitarist, I love Jimmy Page as a riff-writer, but I hate his playing. He's very sloppy. There aren't any really glaring examples of his sloppiness on this album, so it's got that going for it. So, this is fun to re-visit this album. But I don't think this one is their best.
- really great album - zeppelin has such a unique sound that you can tell by the first verse of one of their songs who’s playing, and this album is no exception - favorite songs: “Tangerine,” “Since I’ve Been Loving You, “Out on the Tiles,” and of course “Immigrant Song”
Led Zeppelin III is pretty solid, but is mostly overshadowed by their other albums, excluding the one single off of this album, "Immigrant Song". It did somewhat fall apart towards the end, becoming pretty repetitive, but I did enjoy "Tangerine" a lot. It has a very nice, warm atmosphere to it. Favorite Song: "Tangerine"
Led Zeppelin is my favourite band/artist of all time yeat this is probably the weakest of their first 6 albums. I very much like this record though and the folky influences on this thing make it quite unique. Friends is a really good songs but also the hard rock stuff here like of course Immigrant Song and Out On The Tiles are among the best on here.
Nobody will understand how excited I was for this, I LOVE Led Zeppelin. So groovy !! I really like the basslines. Fav song is ‘Tangerine’.
First off this cover art is crazy, I've never seen it. I only knew Immigrant Song prior to this listen. I enjoy the varied sounds here, with them going acoustic and folk on a couple tracks, I really liked and was drawn to Gallows Pole.
Listening session: january 28th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: not really Thoughts: the more familiar I get with Led Zeppelin, the more I understand that people compare Greta Van Fleet to them. Btw I really liked this album Favourite tracks: Immigrant Song, That’s The Way & Since I’ve Been Loving You
It's a great album, though probably my least favorite of the first four Led Zeppelin albums. It stands probably right at the middle of all of their releases for me. It's still got a lot of fantastic songs on there like Immigrant Song, Tangerine, and That's the Way, which would all probably be among my favorite songs of Led Zeppelin. The album art is also very eye-catching and dare I say ahead of its time. Overall though, I find below the mark compared to Zeppelin's other album, but it's difficult to compete with perfection.
Can’t go wrong with Lef Zeppelin. Several hits on this album, and the rest were good listening as well. (4)
A solid 4/5. I’ve always liked this album, but it doesn’t work for me nearly as much as the others on this list.
Mostly great. Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Out on the Tiles are all flat out bangers. That's The Way has aged very well and has grown on me over the years. But the ending is such a letdown. Hats Off To (Roy) Harper might be the weakest Zep track in their entire catalogue. So a four will have to suffice here.
4.25/5 Stars Top Songs: Tangerine, Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You
Since I've been loving you fue mi favorita, y en general es un buen álbum.
Many say this is on of Zeppelin’s weaker albums on their amazing 6 album run. I disagree, I prefer this to I and II simply because of the variety on offer here. Plus, Immigrant Song is their best opener and one of the greatest rock songs ever committed to tape.
very good but other led zeppelin albums are my favorites
Not my favorite Led Zep, but still a classic.
One of the best opening tracks and guitar riffs to start an album. ‘Immigrant Song’ is absolutely dope and always will be. I also love ‘Tangerine.’ Overall, it’s a fantastic album.
noice
The Zep shows a softer side. The lyrics are just a little bit cheesier than when I was a high schooler lusting for love and music. But this album still brings it with some roc, some partying and acoustic jams.
Solid album with the exception of the last song Hats off To (Roy) Harper. Favorite songs: Since I've Been Loving You, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, That's the Way
Perhaps the least talked about of their first 4, but really strong all the way through. “Out on the tiles” is top 5 Jimmy Page riff
4.5 Immigrant song, 1st thing Monday morning is a great way to start the week. Ive been listening to a lot of live Zeppelin lately. Unbelievable musicians, but they sure liked to wank alot
Good. Would listen again 4.1/5
mega 8/10 porque no es mi estilo, me gustó salir de mi zona de comfort
I really like this album! I didn't know this album before, but I recognize Immigrant Song from shrek and I'm fascinated lol
Didn’t finish but will
I listened to this album while I was organizing my books; I got into a flow state and couldn't stop bobbing my head. Immigrant Song was way shorter than I was anticipating, I expected it to be the kind of classic rock song that goes on for ages, but it was short and to the point. This album was also way more varied than I had been expecting, with a lot of weird production moments I admired; the strange artificial percussion to start Immigrant Song caught me completely off-guard, and I love how roughly Hats off To (Roy) Harper is mixed. I'm staring to realize that my perceptions of many of these classic bands are solely shaped by their big hits which pervade pop culture, and thus I keep getting surprised when their deeper cuts display a lot more variety and new ideas than I thought they would. Even just the cover of this album threw off my expectations of Led Zeppelin, but it perfectly captured the bright energy throughout this album. A fantastic bit of classic country-tinged rock; turns out there's a reason why so many of these classic bands are so acclaimed, who woulda thunk it? Highlights: Immigrant Song, Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, Out on the Tiles, Gallows Pole, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Hats Off to (Roy) Harper
Pretty good, I knew immigrant song (don't know from where a movie probably) but never asked myself where it was from. Will keep on my phone.
Led Zeppelin III is the worst of the original 4 Led Zeppelin albums, which is like saying something is the worst Kubrick film, a monumental career achievement for anyone else but subpar for the lofty standards put on them. 8/10
Like the rock, like the folk, not fan of the tuning in Tangerine, very good album.
The acoustic-heavy back half drags this down just a bit but man that first half rocks. Every song from Immigrant Song to Out of The Tiles is killer.
I liked this album. Had heard Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You before but the whole album is interesting and enjoyable experience. Awsome groove and all instruments go together lovely. Hard to choose the best track as they all were great, but on the first listening I enjoyed Gallows Pole the most.
Good, not sure if it is my favourite Led Zeppelin album. Some good tracks, some ok.
Very hard to meet the bar that Immigrant Song set in the first song but I think this album managed to get close a lot afterwards
Of all of Led Zeppelin's first four albums, Led Zeppelin III is probably the weakest. Not weak mind you, just not as full of hit songs you'd recognize. Yes, you'd likely know Immigrant Song, perhaps the slow bluesy Since I've Been Loving You, and maybe Tangerine. Outside of Immigrant Song, though, none are big radio hits. Instead, Led Zeppelin III sees the band leaning into hard rock more. The blues are still there but less prominent. Led Zeppelin II is a transitional album. All the elements of ZOFO/IV are there, just not yet fully formed. Despite the lack of big hits, it's a great album to listen to. Therea re all of these little gems hanging around that perk your ears up.
Appreciate the pivots from hard rock to folky stuff. We contain multides when we get the LED out .
One of my favourite bands, and one of my favourite ever tracks - ‘Since I’ve been loving you’ is one of my Desert Island Disks. Not my favourite Led Zep album though, so I can’t give it a 5. Not sure what will ever get a 5… Total 10 tracks Fave track = #3
Goddamn peak
I thought it was pretty good, better than I expected from a Zeppelin album (I'm not super huge on rock).
yun pala yung immigrant song
Fun album would relisten to
Diary: I feel stressed out about exams. Its snowing a lot which is truly nice tho. I am in contact with Luca atm which has been nice. Classes could go better- good luck future me🗣 + I enjoyed this album most out of all I listen to up until now 🗣🫶🏻
My favourite from the fellas.
Better than I thought! I haven’t listened to much of Led Zeppelin, but I know Jeff Buckley was inspired by them, and I can definitely hear the similarities!
Since I’ve been loving you calls to me the most Veryyyyyy Led Zeppelin…. I do not like 70s rock I’m sooooo sorry 😭😭
Almost perfect Zeppelin album. Favorite track was "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper." The use of folk instruments like mandolin and banjo added to the blues element, harkening back to when blues and bluegrass first began integrating into what we know as rock n' roll today. Classic and relaxing. An example of remarkable instrumentation fused with creative song writing.
It's a great album, not my Led Zeppelin favorite but that's a high bar. A style I like, some of my favorite hits from the band... Pretty much a personal slam dunk.
Vauhtia alussa, blues alkaa lopussa olemaan jo liian vallitseva
#232/1001. I've always liked folky and acoustic zeppelin, and this album is heavily acoustic. III might even be my favourite zep. Somehow there is interesting rawness and experimentation which seems a bit like a step towards unknown since they were already a huge band. The album also gets quite psychedelic at points, which in this case is a merit. Oh, and I love the volvelle rotating album cover which I have in my vinyl version. So some of this review and points come from late 80s nostalgia...
Zepp are one of my biggest blindspots. Listened to S/T and IV years ago and wrote them off as the blueprint for Spinal Tap and not for me. Maybe it's the acoustic guitar and expertly ambling buildups that are piercing my indie rock heart but this was the sliding door from "I respect the craft" to "shit this is REALLY good!" People are talking about much Geese sounds like Radiohead or the Strokes, but I hear a lot more "Celebration Day" and "Gallows Pole" in their new record than anything else.
This was one of those Led Zeppelin albums that didn’t really stick with me as a kid. It’s certainly not as immediate as others in their catalogue, and I wasn’t so interested in the more folksy tendencies. I just wanted to hear some rock n roll, man. I suppose that realizing that this album is actually high quality is part of growing up. Those folksy songs being showcased here are some of the best, including but not limited to Tangerine and That’s the Way. We’ve also still got some blues rock going on with Since I’ve Been Loving You, which is absolutely a top 5 Zep song. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the true star of the show, John Paul Jones. He lays down some incredible bass lines, and his other organ and mandolin contributions actually make the record as incredible as it is. Still not my favorite Zep album, but revisiting it continues to pay off with time.
I think every song I know by Led Zeppelin is from seeing clips of Jack Black. Honestly I was picturing him rocking out through the whole album, which made for a pretty fun listening experience. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. It’s got a nice mix of styles. I particularly liked the more mellow “Tangerine”. 4/5
I really wasn’t too keen on Physical Graffiti, too long, but this was amazing and helped to solidify my mixed feelings about Led Zeppelin into something more positive. Great opener followed by lots of stomping tracks. My high point was Tangerine, very simple but with an eastern influence. If only it didn’t end with Hats Off to Roy Harper, an out and out blues song that I felt detracted from their own unique blend of complex blues-tinged rock.
What a great way to start this journey. Listening with my 9 month old daughter while at home on a parental leave.
Excellent
Great Album, a little more quiet than the previous records. Fav: Gallows Pole
was expecting an album that was immigrant song for 45 minutes, but i was incredibly pleasantly surprised. this album has crazy range and I enjoyed it a ton.
favorite songs: since i’ve been loving you
Good album
Wow, what an album. Absolutely no skips. The instrumentation is incredible, and you can really tell the band is just having fun and being dynamic with their sound. Robert Plant’s vocals are amazing throughout. This album feels like a true masterpiece. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I can’t get enough of Tangerine and Friends. The first half of the album makes me feel like I’m defeating some beasts and the second half I’m frolicking in grass.
Re-appreciation for this album as I age. Overlooked by I, II, IV and PG this holds a special place as it got my youngest into Zeppelin (he couldn’t grasp Plants voice in Immigrant Song and wanted more). Gallows Pole to Bron-Y-Aur Stomp would make most careers, it’s just an especially lovely selection of songs here.
I like it. I love immigration song. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp too. And the Tiles one.
Great rock band. Great sound, and music. Timeless music.
8.5/10
I like the song Bron-Y-Aur Stomp the most, probably because thats the kind of music I usually listen to. To be honest, I also liked the instrumental parts better than the singing. I just don’t think I’m a big fan of Robert Plants voice, a bit controversial I know.
The beginning and end of the album are an absolute banger! The middle is a bit low, thought. Thus only 4/5. But as there is more LZ on the list we will get there!
Honestly, not my favorite Zeppelin. Immigrant Song, Tangerine and Bron-Y-Aur are standouts, Celebration Day and Since I’ve Been Loving You are great too. I have often thought that Jimmy Page’s true passion is acoustic guitar and he plays electric because that was the industry of his day. I don’t think I can give it less than a 4 but it’s really like a 3.5/5. Not my favorite Zeppelin, the tracks mentioned above are the only ones I care for and the “B-sides” (metaphorically) are almost opposite of typical hard rock Zep and instead have an acoustic blues vibe.
Great album! Love getting the Led out! Lol but this is definitely a classic
Good
Zeppelin shows they can play acoustic while hitting hard with immigrant song, celebration day, and since I've been loving you.
Great album for cook/bake/cleaning.
Always great. This one is just a small notch down from some of their others. But they set the bar so high. 4.5
Always been my least favorite of the Led Zeppelin quadrilogy but still has it's moments. Favorite track: Since I've Been Loving You 3.5/5
começa mto forte com immigrant song e tem umas outras bem daora tipo tangerine mas meio inconsistente
* fave song - immigrant song (hm that’s the way & out on the tiles) * truly such an amazing album, loved how the first half was more rock heavy while the other half is more folksy. it was so hard to pick a favorite track because this album barely had any skips. would 100% listen again. however i didn’t LOVE the last track.
Great record. A real mix of sounds, but Zeppelin has better records, and I want to leave room to differentiate.
Being from the original punk generation, where The Clash's first album was Year Zero and everything that came before it needed sweeping away, I've always had a downer on Led Zep. One of those bands that the irritating, arrogant, know-it-all older kids at school all liked (see also: Rush, Yes and Genesis). Therefore, they must be shit. Hence, I've never listened to a Led Zep album before. But do you know what? I didn't hate this! There are some godawful tracks on here that deserve my punky disdain, but it's impossible to dislike Immigrant Song, Bron-yr-aur Stomp and Hats Off... (which is the best Robert Johnson pastiche I've ever heard apart from early White Stripes)! Overall, not terrible, although a lot of bands that copied them are.
Every Led Zeppelin album is the same to me
Album No. 0098 on my list. My second Led Zeppelin album already! (The first one being “Physical Graffiti”) This will probably never by my favorite Led Zeppelin album, but I can definitely appreciate why this has been an important album for the musical development of the band. The album is much more folk-influenced than its predecessors. I don’t like that necessarily, but I definitely can see why these folk influences shaped the future work of the band. What definitely strikes out is what an incredible accumulation of musical talent Led Zeppelin were, even on their somewhat less famous songs. They were really an outstanding group of musicians. I’ll add “Immigrant Song” (obviously), “Celebration Day”, “Since I’ve Been Loving You”, and “Tangerine” to my playlist. 4/5 stars!
very very solid
8/10 Favorite: Tangerine
