Led Zeppelin III

more interesting than the first two albums, because they don't rely on the bombastic guitar riffs and drum parts as much. However what brings most of their material down is that the feeling of groundbeaking music wears off more and more.

pretty good

So many bangers on this album, specially "Since I've Been Loving You" <3

Most interesting of three Led Zep albums I've encountered - more earthy acoustic sounds and original approach to the arrangements. But still not much here that I'd ever choose to listen to.

Highlight Song/s: Immigrant Song, Out on the Tiles and That's the Way I previously heard the first four (separate from 1001) back in June-July of this year for the first time, hearing songs here and there before that. The one that stood out the most to me was definitely III. Most likely as this one lacks the excessive banshee wailing that infected the first two. And perhaps musically it isn't nearly as frantic as the first two. I particularly enjoy the second half of the album (except for Hats Off.) I also enjoy that the lyrics got a lot more intelligent, instead of just sex this and sex that, love me baby and all that crap; just exceptionally lazy writing. And they seemed to continue to mature with the songwriting after releasing this album, which is great.

I like how western-y some of the guitars are?? I was not expecting that at all

I can't give every Zeppelin album on the list 5 stars, can I? I've made a point of being selective with my 5s to distinguish an artist's very best work. But 4 seems ludicrously low for an album of this quality. The only criticism of it is it's not Led Zeppelin II, or IV or Physical Graffiti. Fuck it, 5s across the board for this perfect band.

I got this back to back with Physical Graffiti and I imagined it might not live up to it, but it did, and while III isn't my favorite Zeppelin album, I can still confidently grant it 5 stars. What a great weekend!

still very good (vinyl)

Nothing that Led Zeppelin does is bad, but this isn’t my favorite record of theirs. It starts really strong with Immigrant Song and then kinda just treads water for a while. 3.6/5

найс.

Immigrant song and since I've been loving you are a couple of my favorite songs. Album was outstanding!

Varierat! Akustiska låtarna bättre än jag minns

Flera riktigt härliga låtar utöver Immigrant Song som är en av deras bästa låtar nånsin!

Inte riiktigt min grej egentligen. Så att det ändå blir en fyra säger mycket!

Not my go-to for a Zep record if I’m throwing one on, but there’s good stuff here either way.

III is a great album, but probably my least favorite of the Zeppelin records on this list. You can’t really start stronger than “Immigrant Song,” yet the album never brings that same energy back. Not that the other songs are bad, but when you lift me up that high right out of the gate, it’s tough to sustain. That said, “Tangerine” is, and always was, their best song.

Some decent songs and some boring ones

I'm finding it really difficult deciding whether to give a 3 or 4. Immigrant Song is a brilliant opener, and though the album is certainly a good listen overall, nothing on else on the album comes close to touching track one - and I don't think that's coming from my previous bias of being way more familiar with Immigrant Song than the rest of the album. I definitely enjoyed Led Zeppelin III more than Dusty in Memphis, which I gave a 3, but as an entire album, I thought Radiohead - Okay Computer was a better overall listen than this, so scored it a 4. Is the strength of one song enough to push it up to a 4 is my question? Will listen to again. Think I will bump up to a 4 because I do like this album and Immigrant Song is just brilliant even if the overall album is maybe a 3 for me.

Great album. Starts out great with Immigrant song. Overall enjoyable.

"This album burst out with "The Immigrant Song"... we come from the lad of the ice and snow, where the midnight sun and the hot springs flow... we are your... OVERLORDS... whoa... lol... "Friends" is a stark contrast... a folky blues song... "Celebration Day" which would become a concert staple is next... followed by the absolutely beautiful, "Since I've Been Loving You"... side one ends with the John Bonham workout, "Out on the Tiles"... side two opens with "Gallows Pole"... hangman, wait a little while... i think i see my friends comin', ridin' many a mile... "Tangerine"... living reflection... of a dream... is next... "That's The Way", "Bron Y Aur Stomp" and finally the album closes with "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper"... no big hits... but every song a banger... Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones... Five Stars... all day long..."

Love. Fav zep album

I know this one. I used to have almost all the Led Zeppelin CDs in heavy rotation. Looking forward to listening again tonight in earnest. It might be their best album.

i love led have such a soft spot for it!! never listened to this album fully through was a great experience i def wanna do again

I didn't want to give this 5 stars, because I'm sick to my teeth of Boomer classic rock, but goddamn this album goes hard

One of rhe best

not as good as LZI

Immigrant Song is a banger, wasn't bothered about the rest really!

This album is for cooking, learning how to drive, making love, doing a school project the night before, to listn durring your divorcing era, its all that.

With 𝘓𝘦𝘥 𝘡𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘐𝘐 , the band pivoted from pure hard rock into a daring mix of thunderous riffs and folk-psychedelic textures. The opener 𝘐𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨 is pure power, but much of the album finds Zeppelin exploring acoustic guitars, mandolins, and trippy atmospheres on songs like 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘦 and 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘯-𝘠-𝘈𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘱. It’s not flawless, yet the blend of weight and whimsy makes this one of their most adventurous and rewarding records.

I’m not the biggest fan of Immigrant Song even though it’s one of their most popular, so I admit I wasn’t loving the start. But then the fourth song I really liked and I felt like the rest of the album was pretty strong. Still not my favorite Led Zeppelin album but liked it a lot more than I thought I would at the start

7.25/10 first half was better, more country towards the end than rock

The Mighty ZeP. This was the album where they fully realized that they could write whatever kind of song they wanted and didn't have to worry about pleasing the masses......and yet......they still pleased us. There are no rules, just rock.

This album showcased the band’s ability to do more than just rock by incorporating folk and synthesizers into their sonic palette. LED Zeppelin can still rock your world as demonstrated by the stunning opener “Immigrant Song”. Great album!

not for me

Zep's "acoustic" album. This album gets overlooked too much, it's one of their best.

I think this rating is just a reflection of personal aversion to rock. Tracks to Track: Immigrant Song

Hieno levy, ja yhden kappaleen päässyt kuulemaan livenäkin alkuperäisen laulajan esittämänä.

Since I, we been loving you...voi kyynel mikä biisi...loppulevy vähän tuntemattomampaa kansanhumppaa mut always Zeppelin

Kyllä rokkaa! 😎Ei niin kova kuin IV.

Ihan jees, sieltähän löyty bluesit countryt ja kunnon rokettirollia. Harmi et aika paljo oli kans ihmeellisyyksiä.

Ik blijf het proberen met Led Zeppelin, maar naast de jengelige vocalen, pakken de songs me ook niet zo als ze anderen wel lijken te pakken. "That's the Way" is mooi, desalniettemin.

Revisiting this record after more than 50 years finds that I have moved on way past this classic sound. Immigrant Song is still vibrant, and Celebration Day remains interesting but the rest of this largely folk rock record is, frankly, dull.

I recognize these songs from commercials

Finallllly time to let the Led out. Zep III is probably my least favorite of the first 4 self titled albums but that in no way means it's bad or I dislike it. They're all freaking gold, this one included and I've listened to it many times. Every single song has something new and good to offer. Some of the things I really pulled out of this listen are: the bassline in "Celebration Day" is absolute filth, how immaculate Page's shredding is in "Since I've Been Loving You," Bonham's little shuffles in "Out On The Tiles," and Plant delivering some pretty beautiful lyrics on "That's The Way." All the songs are standouts but the cream(s?) of the crop for me are "Immigrant Song" "Since I've Been Loving You" "Gallows Pole" and "That's The Way," but almost every track really could be on the best-of list. There's just nothing like Zeppelin and their ability to deliver a great experience on a record. This one's an easy 5 outta 5 as I'm almost 100% sure all their others that must be on this list will be.

An enjoyable sub-plot of this is me turning this project into 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love Dad Rock' because this was great? The folk influences really enjoyable. Immigrant Song an all-timer.

I hadn't listened to this from start to finish in a long time. I was thinking this was a solid 4, but it stood the test of time and is in fact a 5 IMO

Immegrant is one hell of an opening track. An album of good ol' fashion blues-tinged rock. The sound makes all members of the band feel like leading men, the bass doesn't play under the guitar and the drums aren't just for rhytm, it's part of the song. They even find time for a rockversion of a traditional. They turn down the tempo on the B side, for a reasonably rocking experience.

Acoustic and tinges of country show they could play any style, not the hits Immigrant song Since I've been loving you

Son poquísimos los discos de Led Zeppelin a los que no les daría 5 estrellas. Este no es uno de ellos.

Such a solid sound for the first 3 tracks; seamless transitions. The rest of the songs on here are also good, though less even overall. Not my most favorite Zeppelin album, but it’s still pretty good.

Its kinda amazing how time changes things. This seems to me, a young, that zep was demonic devil music in their time. And now its insanely timid to my ears. Like immigrant song is pretty good but nothing else really grabs me in any real way. This feels more like southern rock than hard rock or some proto metal thing. Filled with twang and some slide guitar its just not what I would think of when I think of Zeppelin. Its not bad per se but not all that interesting either. Since im loving you is pretty good until it drags on and on ad nauseum for what feels like forever. And its just slow all around. Nothing that drives the record forward. It just kinda meanders around at its snails pace and then ends. Im surprised to be so down on this one but its what I heard and thats that.

It opens with a bang but, by mid way through It just felt droning on. I wanted it to end. The last 2 songs took a surprising turn. They were completely different from the rest of the album and they were my favorite part. This is not their best album.

A masterclass in rock. A legendary album for a reason.

capsula del tempo

Je n’aime pas beaucoup le rock and roll.

Not my favorite band, nor my favorite album from them but still, it's a good classic and I enjoyed the acoustics.

This album will always feel special to me because of high school, when my friends and I bonded over it. It marks a real progression for Led Zeppelin - shifting from hard rock into more folk-inspired sounds, while still showcasing their incredible musicianship. At the time of its release, it actually received mixed reviews, with many critics not knowing what to make of the sudden turn toward acoustic and folk influences. But in hindsight, that change in direction feels crucial. It showed the band’s willingness to evolve, absorb outside influences, and prove that they were more than just volume and riffs. It’s a pivotal moment in their history, reflecting growth, experimentation, and a unified focus as a band. A turning point that expanded what Led Zeppelin could be.

Este es el primer disco que no voy a reescuchar. Siento que ya lo conozco mucho y es parte de mi ADN. Es un disco fantástico, pero que no le alcanza para las 5 estrellitas por la inclusión de un par de canciones que no me gustan mucho. ¿Qué es Led Zep III? Es el disco de folk de Zepp. Un primer lado variadito. Un segundo lado de folk puro y peludo. ¿Qué vale la pena? Casi todo. Mi canción favorita es el blues Since I've Been Loving You. Es el mejor blues de Led Zeppelin en mi humilde opinión: no es moco de pavo. La canción de ROCK, Inmigration Song, también es fantástica. Gran apertura del disco. Siento que los chicos quisieron ponerla al principio para decir "disfruten chicos, ya cumplimos; ahora vamos a hacer lo que queremos". Pero es un temazo. Celebration Day también me parace espectacular: otra canción donde se rockea un poco, pero ya mezclado por folk; y dentro de las folk me gustan sobre todo el cover Gallows Pole, un tema de folk tradicional... la versión que hace Zeppelin es DEMENCIAL; Friends y Bron Y Aur Stomp. Las otras no me gustan tanto, pero están bien. Creo que en el balance le pondría un 5 (9 estrellitas) pero lo que lo termina tirando para abajo es el último tema Hats Off to Roy Harper, que siempre me pareció una pérdida de tiempo. Todo bien con Roy Harper. Es un capo. Pero esta canción es una falta de respeto. Prefiero recordarlo como el único hombre no integrante de Pink Floyd que hace una lead voice en uno de sus discos.

I mean come on. Of course it's great. Zep makes so much rock music that came after it sound redundant

Easiest 5 star there is

It was just a mediocre led zeppelin album, but from gallows pole on it gets a new dimension that improves it and makes it more unique

🙌

3.8 they appropriated the black south as Brits, charming

Not my favorite of theirs

Songs: Immigrant Song, Tangerine

Immigrant Song is a strong opener from which it fizzles out and never recovers. If I wanted twangy mandolins and folksy ballads I wouldn't be listening to Led Zeppelin.

Really good album. It too me back to the 80’s.

This rocks hard, Led Zeppelin rocks. Pretty iconic. Maybe wasn't in the best headspace for it, but yeah it rocks.

I had not heard this before. Already acquainted with a couple of the other Zeppelin denim bell bottom bulging crotch heavy blues records, but this seems a detour into some other state of mind. Far be it from me to assess the qualities and characteristics of this legendary collective. That's all, I don't have any pointers for the band or for the listeners. I can imagine the kind of inner journey you might take with this record on vinyl, big antique speakers, and the lights down low. Let the scene of Vikings invading Iceland play out in the theater of your mind.

I’ve never been blown away by led zeppelin and this is no exception. I enjoyed most of the songs except the closing track, but it’s not somethinf I would come back to. My fave song was tangerine, seemed a bit more intimate than anything else I’ve heard from them. 3/5

Sounds terrific, but doesn't really tingle my jingle, if you know what I mean. Like it's got that special sauce, but what do you expect me to do with it, eat it like soup? 3.5/5

I enjoyed this album. It felt diverse and intense. I liked the string-like textures and the folk, bluesy tones, but what really drove me was how they turned it into rock. Since I’ve Been Loving You stood out especially. Deeply emotional with impeccable guitar work.

The MVP of this album is John Paul Jones. It incorporates more acoustic arrangements and folk instruments than I and II. To me it marks a pivot and expansion in Zeppelin's sound from just a great hard rock band into one of the best bands of all time. The songs are creative, more complex, and more daring. But there are still hard rockers, "Immigrant Song" being iconic and "Out on the Tiles" being underrated. "Since I've Been Loving You" is the epic peak of the album. That said, I'm not a fan of "Tangerine" and "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper". The latter especially just kind of annoys me, though I commend them for trying something different.

Top.

What can you say. One of he first hard rock icons of our time. Their were other albums from led that had more radio appeal and well known songs, but all creates emotion, musicianship, and creativity.

Over the top and melodramatic. Yet most of it works. Moreso because of the frenetic guitar playing of page rather than the wailing of plant. Alongside black sabbath as the founders of British rock music but I've always found them both with the odd exception to be joyless.

Very solid album.

Immigrant song is one of the great Zeppelin songs, though I was surprised how folky and acoustic the rest was. Very nice.

Love Zeppelin but this one was not for me. Take out Immigrant Song and this would get a 2.

III was the first Led Zeppelin album I ever listened to start-to-finish, and in some ways it’s still my favorite, even though I have listened to IV since then. There’s just not a bad or boring track on it, and yes, I’m including Hats Off in that assessment. (The vocal effects!) Immigrant Song is a classic, Gallows Pole and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp are proper romps, Since I’ve Been Lovin’ You has that great moody atmosphere… Great stuff. I was happy to see it turn up.

For the third time, the lead balloon is going down.

A fantastic album! Not perfect, but some damn fine songs. My favorite is Since I’ve Been Loving You, and my favorite thing about that song is hearing the squeaky bass drum pedal. It’s so cool that you can hear something that now a days would be removed by a computer.

Not my favourite Zeppelin album. I liked immigrant song, out on the tiles, tangerine and that's the way. I think the second half was much better or at least what I felt like more.

Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but it's still a Zeppelin album!

Peak zeppelin.

They might possess some virtuosity but there's no way I'd let these grubby freaks make me a sandwich

I think I like rockin’ Zeppelin slightly better than chill Zeppelin. Even so, these guys fuck.

While making Tomato Jam

Timeless seminal rock album, Dewey Finn and his School of Rock using Immigrant Song to teach the fundamentals of the genre was no accident. I think it can get pretty one note after a while with the length of the tracks and lack of variety in the riffs, but it's still an enjoyable rock rollercoaster that is enjoyable as it is educational.

they could never make me form an opinion abt this album. deeply unmoved.

Yeah I’ll give ya a 5 yeah why not

I have many of the songs on playlists. It’s Led Zeppelin. Who doesn’t like trying to imitate the opening screams of Immigrant Song?

i enjoyed it

Somewhere in the middle as far as Zeppelin albums goes. Not as bad as their last two, not as good as IV, HotH, and the good stuff on PG.

They already could make bluesy rock songs, and here is where they embraced acoustic elements, expanding their sound and moving in new directions

Banger after banger

Yep

This has long been one of my favourite Zeppelin albums. It's more original, the rock songs are peerless, 'Friends' is amazing and one of the band's highlights, and there isn't the same reliance on standard blues workouts. Instead you get a lot more influence from earlier periods - Leadbelly, Blind Willie Johnson, Kokomo Arnold, and Delta slide masters. Bonham is amazing on 'Out on the Tiles', and the guitar work from 'Gallows Pole' to the end is exceptional for its range and colour. Great music!

i owe half of musical knowledge to shrek 3,5/5 🧌

Not for me.

Mein zweites Album der Band. Nach dem ersten Song dachte ich, das könnte überraschend gut werden, aber es fühlte sich dann doch etwas lang an und er schrie mir zu viel. Trotzdem besser als das, was ich vorher hatte. Solide drei Sterne mit Tendenz nach oben.

Starts off strong with Immigrant Song, then kind of loses steam right after. Just ok.

Easy to listen to.

When the member realized they were actually great musicians.

An album so good you have to listen to it again immediately when it ends.

Il existe des dogmes dans le monde du rock, des vérités gravées dans le marbre que l’on n’ose contester de peur de passer pour un hérétique. L’infaillibilité de Led Zeppelin en est un. Et au sein de leur discographie sacrée, l'album "III", sorti en 1970, est souvent présenté comme le joyau de la couronne, la preuve de leur maturité et de leur génie polymorphe. On nous parle d’une audacieuse escapade acoustique, d’une retraite inspirée dans la campagne galloise de Bron-Y-Aur. Pourtant, à l’écoute, délesté du poids de l’adulation collective, le constat est sans appel : cet album est une œuvre prétentieuse qui symbolise la domestication d’un genre musical qui se voulait, à l’origine, sauvage et contestataire. Mon aversion pour Led Zeppelin n'est pas un caprice. Elle est le fruit d'une indigestion, d'une surexposition subie durant ma jeunesse dans les années 80 et 90. À cette époque, quelle que soit la porte que je poussais, je trouvais les mêmes disques sur les étagères de mes amis. Les mêmes compilations, les mêmes visages, les mêmes riffs tournant en boucle. Cette uniformité m’a toujours paru suspecte. Le rock, dans son ADN, est une musique de rébellion, une rupture avec l'ordre établi, et notamment avec celui de la génération précédente. Alors, comment peut-on prétendre incarner cet esprit en écoutant religieusement les mêmes groupes que ses parents ? Led Zeppelin, devenu une institution, un passage obligé, est l'incarnation parfaite de cette contradiction. C'est du rock de patrimoine, aseptisé et validé par le système. "Led Zeppelin III" est sans doute le symptôme le plus flagrant de cette institutionnalisation. Après la furie électrique et la puissance tellurique des deux premiers albums, qui, malgré tout, possédaient une énergie brute indéniable, le groupe choisit de ralentir. De poser les guitares électriques pour embrasser le folk. Sur le papier, l'idée d'une introspection acoustique pouvait sembler séduisante. Dans les faits, elle accouche d’une série de titres pour la plupart anémiques et d’une platitude désespérante. L'album s'ouvre sur un leurre : "Immigrant Song". Deux minutes et vingt-six secondes de pure adrénaline. Un riff acéré, une rythmique martiale et le cri de guerre de Robert Plant. On se prend à espérer, on se dit que le monstre est toujours vivant. Mais l'illusion se dissipe aussitôt. Dès "Friends", on bascule dans un folk psychédélique aux arrangements de cordes pompeux qui sonnent aujourd’hui terriblement datés. La suite n'est qu'une longue agonie. "Celebration Day" est un rock générique, un pilote automatique sans inspiration qui semble tout droit sorti des chutes de "Led Zeppelin II". Puis vient "Since I've Been Loving You", archétype du blues démonstratif et surjoué que je leur reproche. C'est une caricature de blues, étiré sur plus de sept minutes, où la virtuosité technique de Jimmy Page et les vocalises larmoyantes de Plant écrasent toute émotion sincère. La face B, le fameux versant acoustique, est supposée être le cœur du réacteur. C'est en réalité le cœur du problème. "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" est une bluette campagnarde, sympathique tout au plus, mais d’une naïveté confondante. "Tangerine" est une ballade sirupeuse, interchangeable avec des dizaines d'autres de la même époque. "That's the Way", malgré la qualité de son texte, est une berceuse d'une tristesse infinie qui invite plus au sommeil qu'à la révolution. C’est la bande-son d’un groupe qui s’ennuie et qui, malheureusement, partage généreusement son ennui avec l’auditeur. Pourtant, au milieu de ce désert créatif, un titre justifie à lui seul de ne pas jeter le disque par la fenêtre. Ce miracle s'appelle "Gallows Pole". C'est l'unique éclair de génie de l'album. Sur ce morceau, et uniquement sur celui-ci, la magie opère. Le groupe s'empare d'une chanson folk traditionnelle pour la transcender. Le tempo s'accélère progressivement, le banjo et la mandoline installent une tension dramatique, une course contre la mort. La montée en puissance est magistrale, culminant avec l'arrivée de la batterie de John Bonham qui transforme le morceau en une cavalcade épique. La voix de Plant est enfin habitée, non par la performance, mais par l'urgence du récit. "Gallows Pole" est un chef-d'œuvre de narration musicale, sombre et intense. Sa réussite fulgurante ne fait que souligner la vacuité du reste de l'album. En définitive, "Led Zeppelin III" est l'œuvre d'un groupe au sommet de sa gloire, mais au creux de son inspiration. En voulant à tout prix s’acheter une crédibilité artistique et prouver qu’il était plus qu’une machine à riffs, Led Zeppelin a accouché d'un album majoritairement fade et suffisant. Pour quiconque attend du rock qu'il bouscule, qu'il dérange et qu'il soit le porte-voix d'une contre-culture, cet album est une profonde déception. Il marque le moment où le groupe est passé de prédateur à dinosaure de musée. Un conseil : téléchargez "Gallows Pole" et faites l'économie du reste.

Snelle inhaal review #20: Ik had echt al half een review geschreven voor II, toen ik erachter kwam dat het om III ging, aanzienlijk minder album helaas, maar kan het nu even niet meer loskoppelen, woops.

We beginnen met een bekende banger. Ik vond dit album leuker dan het vorige album die we hebben beoordeeld voor deze challenge. Nieuwe bangers voor mij waren Out on the tiles en That's the way.

Awesome, even geen tijd voor uitleg. Moet inkomen na de vakantie

What gorgeous blues/rock! This is a keeper for sure. 4.5/5

джазз не моё

Really top tier opening, solid all the way through. There's a reason this has remained a staple for more than 50 years.

7/10

Yep good a staple in classic rock

I like it less than II. Just don't get excited from listening to it, acoustic songs were a bit meh and the louder songs lack memorable moments. Since I've been loving you is the best song.

yes yes YES.

First Zeppelin album on the list for me, though I have heard a lot of these songs before. An excellent record, no doubt. Tons of great songs. Immigrant Song, Tangerine, and Gallows Pole have always been favorites from me on this record. All excellent tunes. There’s so much more to like on here though, whether it’s Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Friends, and others. The way they all blend together is incredible, one of the great bands of all time and an amazing record.

The good stuff is great but this isn’t their best work, a lot of filler.

I really enjoyed this. Immigrant Song - a classic. But several others on here I’d never heard which I loved too. Friends, Since I’ve Been Loving You. Second half nowhere near as good but the strength of the first ensures a four from me.

I enjoyed the softer tracks - things the girls out on the floor would have a tough time moving to. Stuff like That's the Way. But the rest didn't move me.

I’ve heard a lot of Zep over the years - mainly just the hits. I figured I’ve heard all the band has to offer: competent rock music, slick execution, tight production. It’s all here on 3. Let it not be said that Led Zeppelin aren’t a great rock act. On listening to 3 for the first time, the above impression holds up. This was good! I enjoyed this more than I had expected to - certainly more than Physical Graffiti. I also admire the balancing on these tracks - especially Immigrant Song. The musical elements are just so distinct. They sound so clear on a nice set of headphones. I love how much energy the band put into their music. Thing is, their songs live and die on those musical elements. Lyrically I don’t get the sense that Robert Plant has a lot of depth as a writer. Immigrant Song is a good case - the song is killer, but the lyrics, while full of evocative references to Valhalla, are all a bit directionless and feel thrown in because they just sound cool. All the aside, it’s a strong 3 for 3. ✨

Honestly I could leave this. I don’t think it’s their best and maybe I’ve just grown tired of Led Zeppelin

really cool departures from their sound in this while still being so distinctly them. Tangerine is one of my favorites

Less good Zeppelin > 97% of other music

Without Immigrant Song it would be a 3 star album.

Definitely not my favorite Zep album. But it is still great.

Cannot find a bad song on the whole album.

For me it goes I, IV, II, III....but they are all 5's.

I do not need to listen to this in order to review it. It is one of my favourite Led Zeppelin albums, and that is saying something. It was probably a surprise to fans at the time, but with the benefit of decades having passed, it is clearly a wonderful record. I love it's relaxed acoustic vibe. It's a Zeppelin chill out album and I am here for it.

Amazing album, has always been a favourite. Perfect story telling

Not much left to say that hasn’t been said before... It’s not the best Led Zep album, it’s not my favorite one either, but it’s still a timeless record with more than a few legendary songs. "Since I've Been Loving You" still sends shivers down my spine. Too bad a couple of other tracks are among their weakest.

Always liked this one less than the other early Zeppelin records due to the lack of heavy riffs and more acoustic parts but I enjoyed it more than I remembered.

5 estrelas .

It's hard to believe that I got into Zeppelin's entire discography last Fall. It felt so weird to have waited so long to hear the most CLASSIC of all rock bands (these or The Beatles), but thankfully, I've now dabbled in all of their main-line studio albums. Number 3, from months ago, I remember being extremely solid and the surprise runaway #2 favorite in the quad of albums behind the monster that is IV. It starts off extremely familiar with the Immigrant Song, goes into some noticeable waters with the acoustically tinged "Friends" and some head-bopping on "Celebration Day". "Since I've Been Loving You" gets the blues flavor that they were going for on the first album perfectly and even better than before. 7 minutes of runtime and they're all worth it. Then back to the head-bopping on "Out On The Tiles". The first side is just Zeppelin being Zeppelin doing what they do best. Side Two is where they take the more acoustic route and it results in a more unique full record. I think my most surprising take about Zeppelin's discography is that I don't care much for Tangerine which a lot of people seem to enjoy. I'm a bigger fan of That's The Way which I think is very underrated. Seriously, that's one of Zeppelin's best tracks. It's no "Going To California" in terms of acoustic Zeppelin, but man, it hits. This record while I believe is deserving to be recognized for its legacy pales in comparison to what they would do next. The next 3 albums are what turned Led Zeppelin from one of the best rock bands to straight geniuses. It's still pretty good (except the last song, it's pretty weird)(8/10, 4/5 on this scale)

Led Zeppelin is so good.

like an intense road trip, has everything

sounds like sitting in the garden revising for chemistry paper 2 knowing I was going to do terribly

1/5 did not enjoy most of the songs, gave me a headache.

A couple of memorable songs and a good blues but not their best

I love Zeppelin, however, I still believe there isn't a perfect full album of theirs. Immigrant Song perfected what their first two albums created, and Since I've Been Loving You might be my favorite Zeppelin track ever. But something is lost on side B and I don't care if it was them experimenting or showing their range, it didn't hold up to the rest.

01) Immigrant Song - 10,0 02) Friends - 8,5 03) Celebration Day - 8,5 04) Since I've Been Loving You - 9,0 05) Out on the Tiles - 9,0 06) Gallows Pole - 9,0 07) Tangerine - 10,0 08) That's the Way - 10,0 09) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp -10,0 10) Hats Off to (Roy) Harper - 8,5 TOTAL: 9,25 (93/100) Current ranking: 27/626

(Immigrant Song ends) YOU LIKE THAT?!!! THEN LET’S GOOOOO!!!! (Gets out acoustic guitar)

10/10 would listen again.

Мне понравилось сильно больше, наверное, всего, что я у них слушал до этого. Лучшая песня - Immigrant Song.

Not their best album, but still a great one.

Possibly their best?! Certainly my favourite. A brilliant grab bag of styles and themes, anchored by the majestic ‘Since I’ve Been Lovin’ You’ - a brilliant listen from the moment the needle drops until it lifts. The only problem: you have to get off your stoned ass to flip it over! Perfection.

Not even in my top 3 Zep albums!

One of the best albums of any era.

I actually don’t love this as much as some other Led Zeppelin albums. Still a great album though.

I've never been a fan of Led Zeppelin. I understand it's a me thing, but I've never understood the love of this album. It's a classic rock record, that's all.

3.5 stars I feel like I’m failing this challenge on some level by not fully appreciating Led Zeppelin. Am I too old to get into them? Should I have gotten into them as a young impressionable youth? Am I just too much a dummy to appreciate the musicianship? Well, anyway, I enjoyed this album but it didn’t set me on fire. Immigrant Song though, what a way to open an album. It’s good every time. My cousin, who is Swedish-Finnish on the other side of the family, said this song makes her think of her people - “we come from the land of the ice and snow” - so now I always just think of her ancestors as marauding Vikings when I hear that opening war cry. The rest of the first half didn’t live up to the excitement of the opening song. I actually really enjoyed the folky country second half.

I liked this more than Led Zeppelin II. It was very folksy, very acoustic, less aggressively horny (as far as i could tell). I think in my review of 2, I said it was the "acoustic" Zeppelin record. I think I got my albums confused. This is definitely the acoustic Zeppelin album and it's better for it. Page really nows how to strum an acoustic guitar. It's so rhythmic and intense. And when he gets the slide going, it's a lot of fun. The Immigrant Song rocks. I hope it's pro immigration. Friends has a great little acoustic riff. Celebration Day has a great little electric riff. Since I've Been Loving You is this massive blues rock epic. I enjoyed it. Gallows Pole has a fun renaissance fair vibe. I dig it. Tangerine is a very pretty acoustic track. Maybe my favourite song on the album? It hints towards Going to California for sure. I didn't know it going into this album. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is a fun driving folk track. Hats off to (Roy) Harper has some wicked slide guitar. The guitar playing in general on this track rocks. Final note: i feel like this review seems very glowing and in some ways it is. But I also found this album didn't really stick with me, and isn't something I'd just throw on. I dunno. Maybe I've changed and Zeppelin is no longer my thing. On paper, it's a 3.5... but i'm going to round down because I struggle to connect to it.

-1 because there's only so much Robert Plant I can take. I dont want to like them, I want to think its all hype but goddamn they can really play. 4/5

Starts with Immigrant Song a hard rock masterpiece and then becomes more acoustic and folkie, phenomenal musicianship, it's a nice change of pace and shows how versatile they were.

Qué buenoooo.

You will find fewer people who are bigger fans of Zeppelin I & II, and with “Immigrant Song” Zeppelin III starts with some of the same in your face rock n roll from the first 2 albums. Unfortunately for me the album really slows down and gets mellow. Which is not my favorite version of the band. “Gallows Pole” will get your foot stomping again. With all of that said “Tangerine” might be my most favorite song from the band, ever.

I know its not classed as the masterpiece that 4 is, but dad had a copy of this when I was growing up and besides the Remasters - this was my introduction to Led-Zep. Gems have to be Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You and Tangerine for me.

It's not Led Zeppelin IV is it. Still hard to argue with an album with Immigrant Song, Out on the Tiles, Gallows Pole, and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp on it.

yet another opening track i recognise from the first notes (but not the title) Tangerine>>>> Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is also great really enjoyed listening to this actually! some nice blues-y rock, and the bits that didn’t stand out per se were still great bg listening

I've rated other Led Zeppelins highly. This really fell apart after Immigrant's Song, which, to be fair, is such an epic knock out with such a long cultural shadow ... 2.5 or so

high highs and way too many low lows that make you go "ugh get fucking on with it"

really not my favorite led zeppelin, but immigrant song is STILL stuck in my head. 2.5

Immigrant Song is fun and then this just keeps going

Another really solid album from them. Immigrant Song in particular is one of my favorites. Lots of just straight rock bangers.

A side has all of the hits. B side is full of experimental deep cuts that don’t seem to flow well together.

Loved this album. It had such a mix of sounds compared to their most known songs - specifically noticed some blues and country. Each song was diverse, lyrically and musically. I’m not sure I’d ever actually acknowledged the lyrics to Immigrant Song. And there was a bit of a disconnect for me between the lyrics and the music on Friends. All in all, I will listen to it again.

A good album. And this was 1970! Only mixing complaint I have is that vocals are back and not very intelligible. What is that last song? Album definitely has some hits, and it's a pleasant listen except for that. 4.

If I purchased a record in 1970 as a child that opened with Immigrant Song I think I’d shit my pants immediately. Wild how much depth and variety they bring to this album. The cover is a perfect representation of what you’re about to experience. I prefer the rock-heavier Zeppelin sound but it’s still a great album that I listened through three times. Unfortunately, due to the final track, my left ear gives this album a 5, yet the right a 3.

Refreshingly original and inimitable, this deserves a 5 (until that last song, what were they thinking? save that for a b side)

Except for a few tracks, this album is a more mellow Led Zeppelin, which according to the internet was by design. Other than Immigrant Song, I don’t recall hearing the other songs before. Somewhat blues-y and better than expected.

Oh nooo. I'll give them this: the album cover is fun and visually appealing. The album name, on the other hand, is vaguely threatening (if it's anything like Now That's What I Call Music III...). I never would have been able to ID it, but I know 'Immigrant Song' well from introducing a slow-mo action scene in like 5000 movies. As with many classic rock bands, they sound to me like a more boring version of Rush (slower, more guitar breaks). Not my vibe. Relative highlight: 'Out on the Tiles'

Good album. Never has been my favorite of theirs, though.

What an amazing album. Nearly half of the songs are included in my favourite (Not-)Led Zeppelin album, No Quarter, and the rest is also great.

Great variety on this album. Not listened to it for a long time.

I wasn't fully sold, but could see how its influenced later artists & interested enough to come back & listen more in the future

Underwhelming. Only one truly great song

A side is good, flip side a bit too folky for my taste.

First half was brilliant, dropped off a bit in the second half

It got this very 70s sounding rock, which is nice, but there’s something missing for me. Not a huge fan of acoustic music. I love stuff like synthies in the background or whatever, something like that would make it complete in my opinion (but yes I know back then synthesizer were just invented and thus not very widespread…or maybe Led Z. just didn’t wanna use it lol). So yeah… too “acoustic” for me, too little electric sound + a high voice, which is kinda cool, but exhausting at some point.

That's not quite what I was expecting. Immigrant Song is the best here, everything after is a slight letdown from that. I'm impressed that so many different genres are on this album, and they are all done well. 4.5

Tangerine is really the only standout track for me on this one. There are some interesting bits and pieces here and there but doesn't hold up.

Done

Awesome

Meh

sounds mysterious

If you haven’t heard Les Zeppelin, how could you possibly have enough of a musical background to even find this list? “Immigrant Song” is one of the best rock songs ever. The rest of the album is classic, but loses a bit from the over-played status of Zeppelin.

When I was younger I loved Zeppelin, I have listened to this album so many times, but it's been years since I listened to their albums. So the question is, do the songs remain the same in my heart. The answer ... yes, once a classic, always a classic. There is a reason Led Zeppelin is considered one of the greatest bands of all time!

This was fine. Immigrant song is a classic. The vocals kind of grate after a while. I can no longer listen to Led Zeppelin without hearing Henry Paker's impression

Liked some of the songs, others weren’t mine for sure, but overall liked it.

First album in the list I actually enjoyed. Not my favorite Zeppelin album, though.

klasika, bolji nego što se sjećam mada opada malo pri kraju, since ive been loving you dobra ali i dalje malo previše

No need for a re-listen. 4.

It’s another Led Zeppelin. It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing.

Oh boy

Okay, so I admit I come into this with a bias--I already know enough Led Zeppelin songs to know I am not a fan. This album didn't do anything to improve my impression of them as rambling stoner music. There are some good ideas, catchy riffs and pretty moments, but they are drawn out into oblivion until they just become nothing. Led Zeppelin clearly needed an editor lol. This album just feels so fucking long, despite only being forty-five minutes. I know this is """"blasphemy"""" or whatever, but I'm giving this a 2/5. I just don't get Led Zeppelin.

19/1001 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III Heard before? ✅ Revisit? 🫳 Led Zeppelin III has one of the greatest opening tracks of all time, however I forgot just how top heavy this album is. After Since I've Been Loving You, it kinda all goes downhill for me. Yes, they're experimenting with the sound on the latter tracks, but they don't work for me.

First impression pre listen: Led Zeppelin huh? Suprised I've not gotten them sooner to be honest. This isn't the album from them I'm most familar with, but their music is usually pretty approachable so I'll at least have a decent listening experience, even if there might be some "borrowed" songs on here. Got pretty high expectations going into this. Individual track notes: Immigrant Song Starting off with an absolute classic. An iconic piece of rock music that's still relevant to this day. Probably in the top 10 for most recognizable intros. That riff is lightning in a bottle. Captures the viking imagery so well. Fantastic. 5/5 Friends I really like how heavy and impactful the acoustic guitar sounds. Great strings. Feels almost mystical and fairytale-like. Sweet lyrics. Has a bit of a pyschedelic edge to it, feels really large and hypnotic. Great. 4.5/5 Celebration Day Great transition. Magnificent bass. Decent solo. Smokey and raw atmosphere. Ends on a great groove. Great. 4.5/5 Since I've Been Loving You Very bluesy and slow. Builds up very well. The keys is a magnetic driving force which keeps the song sounding large and dynamic. Solid guitar solo, if not a bit too long. The final few minutes are really cinematic and impactful. Fantastic. 5/5 Out on the Tiles Has a weak start. The riff is a bit of a miss for me. Really don't like the general sound of the guitar. Unremarkable chorus. Kinda middle of the road throughout. The drumming saves it from being totally average. Fine. 3/5 Gallows Pole Thematically a bit basic for a rock song of this era. Has good energy. I like the banjo picking in the background and the fun drum tempo. Has some stellar bass playing as well. Ends on a really satisfying climax. Good. 4/5 Tangerine Really pleasant. Great guitar solo. Lovely bassline. Just an allround solid tune. Good. 4/5 That's the Way The steel guitar in the background is really distinct. Psychedlic atmosphere with the repetitive acoustic guitars and the dulcimer. Interesting arrangement. Great. 4.5/5 Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Really folky. I like the traditional dancy drum beat. The guitar is great. The song doesn't completely capture me, but it's still a good time. Decent. 3.5/5 Hats off To (Roy) Harper Strange effects. Not exactly pleasant to listen to. Just really weird to be honest, especially through a headset. The experiment is at least thoroughly executed. Fine. 3/5 Final review: While the quality of the album came as no suprise, what didn't meet my expectations was the overall sound of the album. It's folky and a bit maximalist at the same time. It's loud, it's impactful and it can completely rock your socks off. At the same time it's weird, psychedelic and even cinematic. The drums are heavy, the guitars blazing and the bass eclectic. Also love how atmospheric the keys get at times. This adds up to a dense wave of instrumentation which intensly roars ahead. Add some true rock star vocals to that and you'll have yourself an exhausting, but satisfying time. I really enjoy this direction for their sound. There are times where it even sounds traditional. Maybe not their most iconic album, but still a solid additon to their discography. 4/5

i mean it's led zeppelin 🙂‍↕️ they manage to blend in many different elements seamlessly, a greaatt album overall but not my favourite from them, that's why it gets a 4 from me. (in other senses it's a 5 tho 🌚)

Two favourited songs.

Led Zepp at full throttle, storming towards their peak

It rips, it feels, it smacks. Honestly just a classic, not perfect, but a pleasure to listen to.

Led Zeppelin can be a touch overwrought for me but they’re still great.

Pretty good overall. Some songs might take a few more listens to get used to. 4/5

Need a bigger spread of stars for rating... Shaded by LZ2 but still gets 4 stars

Better than 2 worse than 4.

Several big hits on this album and some lesser known gems (to me) make for a a very entertaining listening experience.

Led has rarely a bad song their curating was perfect and they knew how to rock and make an album. Their influences and way of ordering experimental and classic was superb. This not even their top 3 album yet its simply amazing

You know what's better than III? IV.

Oh wow, I can rock out AND bliss out to this one - varied, passionate, my fave LZ so far. "Tangerine" gives me goosebumps.

Classic rock is great

Opzich ok, maar te oud en niet mijn smaak.

mattia di figa

If you look in the dictionary for a definition of "uneven" this album cover pops up. Half the songs are good, bordering on great (and my god Soundgarden lifted a lot from Led Zep). The other half are truly terrible and cringey. "Tangerine" felt like the obvious inspiration for Spinal Tap, for instance. I'm not sure this album needed to be on this list.

Docked a star for all the left

Some good songs but a bit dreary

Classic rock, straight to my heart

This is my least favorite of the numbered albums. But Immigrant Song is what got me interested in Led Zeppelin and I got to hear Robert Plant perform Gallows Pole last summer. So overall it's still a beloved album.

I feel like Led Zeppelin is always a good time, this one is no exception. Some really heavy hitters on this one too. Something about That's the Way just got to me.

Four stars just for Immigrant Song.

My favorite Zeppelin album. I love the balance of the rock on side A and the acoustic side B. I know this isn’t the most revered of their catalogue, but damn is it good. What an unreal 4 album run to start their careers.

They really switched it up by Jimmy going more acoustic guitar centered on this one. And John Paul Jones shows off his great talent as a multi instrumentalist. Just a brilliant album!

There's honestly not a single skip for me from Led Zeppelin I - IV. Incredible album from one of my favorite bands of all time. I have listened to this countless times and it will continue to be in rotation

Excellence. What more is there to say

It's a classic

Classic.

Grew up listening to this so, yeah, I love it.

An album I've listened to multiple times already. I would have given it 5 stars a decade ago, but now I'm more aware of the cultural theft that's worth a star of acknowledgement.

Immigrant Song in 2025 just gives Marvel movie. The imitation southern twang from a British band feels inauthentic. Dive bar energy

massively talented (you need to like his voice though)

Ayah-ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ayah-ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! All downhill from there of course, but that's a minimum 4 stars for the opening 18 seconds of the album

Great rigs

Classic!

It was fine. I’m not a huge Led Zeppelin fan. Tangerine and That’s the Way were my favorites aside from Immigrant Song which was the only song I knew going in.

4 stars, this is not a morning album this is a late afternoon album. I wish I started listening to this with more focus but it would be an easy 5 stars otherwise. ACTUALLY that's a lie I heard at least half and really enjoyed it 5 STARS LETS GOOO BABY

I'm not entirely sure if this album is warranted a full 5 rating, but I was once again pleasantly entertained by every single track on this album. When you're a teenager, you don't hear how much this band was heavily influenced by the Blues, but I can't help but hear it now, and I love it. This album deserves at a minimum a 4 just for the opening track, "Immigrant Song." This is easily a 4.5, but by the current rule of law, does that bump it up into a 5, or does it get dragged down to a 4? I don't know.

Can't NOT like a Led Zep album. This one is a little more folksy, but still enjoyable

It’s solid, I enjoy Led Zeppelin a lot. Their songs are iconic.

You don't need every album by every big 70s band like Zeppelin. 'Immigrant Song' aside this is is really average and shouldn't be on this list.

solid energetic playing but yea the blues blaccent feels more offensive the longer it goes on highs: immigrant song, out on the tiles lows: the last couple tracks

It’s ok; def not the best, 2nd best, or 3rd best Zep album…

Genuinely my favorite LZ album. I’m a massive Stan for this album, I have nothing negative to say. Totally biased. This album has so much variety and creativity. You could tell that this is a band firing on all cylinders and at their top of their game but also completely fearless in making something truly unique. This album is (just my personal conspiracy theory) what probably inspired all of the music that I love like Ween and stuff. I’ll never get tired of this album.

sehr Ikonisch

Very good but overall weaker than II and IIII

Kind of subdued

It's Led Zep, what's not to like?

Best rhythm section ever. Guitarist is good but steals all his best ideas. Singer has a hobbit fetish.

I'm 1018 albums deep and these are the bands/musicians this list has failed to make me a fan of: Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, The Byrds. I don't hate Led Zeppelin, they just do nothing for me.

Not the biggest on Led Zeppelin, honestly, but am a fan of some of the songs that played on this. Largely unbothered, though.

It's not my favorite Zep album, but it ain't something I ever put down. The best tracks are legendary Jimmy Page or JPJ songwriting.

Their third album. Rock / Blues / Folk. Immigrant Song - Track one, Boom !Vocals, rock guitar and bass licks, great drums. Great song. Celebration Day is another good track. Out On The Tiles - A very cool sound. Again John Bonham's drums are great. A solid album but this band are so good they have better.

Better than Coldplay

SCHOOL OF ROCK BABYYYYYY! I’m having a hoot. You can really hear how influential this was. The cover is great. Trying not to dance while I’m cleaning toilets. Found myself wanting more when it ended, which hasn’t happened often. I’m going to listen again to see how I feel.

WHAT a way to start an album ‘Immigrant Song’ is. I always preferred Led Zeppelin II as a teen and they’ve fallen by the wayside quite a bit as I’ve grown up. Why do I think this album is acceptable but Deep Purple is not? I appreciate how stripped back it is, it allows its self to breathe a lot more. It really reminds me of later, less garagey White Stripes. They’re both in ‘It Might Get Loud’ so that may be less of a coincidence. This album does drift a bit as it goes on, but I like how’s it not Blues Rock All The Time. it’s not Clapton thank God. There’s one song on here that’s total crap. I like the cover too. 3.

Last time I rated an album I forgot to write a review. Anyway... I tried listening to this 11 months ago (to the day) and I recall not enjoying the first few songs (bar Immigrant Song) and so I came into this with that memory still lingering. Unfortunately, a listen this time didn't particularly change my views of the first few songs (bar Immigrant Song). I think I definitely prefer Led Zepp's folkier stuff, and I figured out I really don't like the blues-y stuff much at all. Too much slide guitar for me to be enjoyable. Was going to be a 2, but I did enjoy the B-side a lot more. But I think there's a reason I hadn't heard of nor listened to most of these songs before. Definitely one of the weaker Led Zepp albums, but still overall a 3/5 stars.

Inmigrant song sets the bar high, but the rest does not keep up. Good album anyways

Peaks with the first song

Honestly I was surprised how unimpressed I was with this one when I revisited it. The blues songs, played well of course, are nevertheless somewhat desultory, and the folk-based songs - typically talked about as the defining sound of the record - are a bit hit and miss. It certainly pales substantially versus II and IV, perhaps that its biggest problem.

A great record from a legendary band in top form. “Born Y-Aur Stomp,” “Immigramt Song,” - heck, I love “Friends!”

10/10 no notes.

Unoriginal. Sounds old

Led Zeppelin is already an iconic, canonized band. Listening to this album is not any different. Some bands there is little to say about. They set the stage, we mere mortals just watch the spectacle. I would say the only way to really rate a band like this is to pit them against themselves. I would not say this is their best album, but it is still laughably good. And that is the thing about great legendary bands: If someone hears this one first and thinks "this is NOT their best album? What the heck IS then?!" And so it goes with Led Zeppelin: legend for a reason.

When Zep officially became “music to play D&D to”

The best of LedZep

Just pure, classic Rock!!!!

Throughout high school, Zeppelin was constantly on. Non-stop, and not played by me--in cars, on radio, everywhere. So it is hard to hear these songs anew, but I tried. I think III is my favourite Zeppelin album, but I will say, what I used to think was trippy acoustic art, now I think the last two songs are meh. But some killers on here.

What a perfect Friday album. As soon as "Immigrant song" hit, I was ready to gas up the car, pack the cooler, and hit the road. This is the perfect road trip album. Well done.

It was fine. I do like “Tangerine” an awful lot.

Spun vinyl for this one. A well worn record that is very good!

Absolutely amazing! Some great hits, and some awesome deep cuts.

I was always reluctant with Led Zeppelin. I was wrong

Immigrant song almost made me give a 5

Liked this but just not connecting with it on the level most people seem to. LZ has all the elements that I should love but I just never want to listen to them. Immigrant song is the clear stand out here but the album never really hits the same height after.

i looooove led zeppelin

Yup, that's certainly another Led Zepp album. I don't know why they don't connect with me. Maybe their omnipresence over the years. Maybe just Robert Plant's voice. Even mentioning Roy Harper's name didn't do it for me. Looking back, I've given two other albums 3 points, and thinking back, I may have been a bit generous.

It's a shame that this album starts with Immigrant Song, because that builds up a lot of promises that the rest of the album completely fails to deliver. A banger of an opener, then a load of acoustic noodling that just puts me off.

Powerful and fun - lighter than Led Zeppelin 1, but still a lot of the soul, energy, and beauty of it.

It's a good album. They have better but they released three albums in a year and a half so it seems like they were running out of steam a bit with this one. It feels like a bunch of tracks that would have been B sides for their first two albums. It's an enjoyable listen. If you like Zeppelin you will love it. If your on the fence it's not going to move the needle.

Yeh it's alright

Classic album

4 out of 5 only because overall it's not as good as Zeppelin II or IV

Clearly the most underrated album by Led Zeppelin, this work deserves a serious listen by every music lover.

Awesome! Led Zep were a huge influence through my teens and early 20s. They're still one of my favourites. For me, Led Zep don't have any bad albums.

To me, it’s not as strong as I, II and IV, but close enough, though. There are some real bangers on here

A great band for sure, but there’s something off putting to me about Robert Plant’s voice.

Nice to get the Led out from time to time.

First ever full listen. What a great album.

Really like the rock elements and surprisingly I don't mind the folk songs. Favourite song is definitely since I've been loving you. Album falls off on the last two tracks tho. I've got no idea about what happened with that last track. Overall a good 7.5/10.

Some faves, some skips, but overall pretty fantastic.

Such an underrated Led Zeppelin album. The folk guitar here is much stronger than most of Jimmy Page's other stuff, Since I've Been Loving you basically sounds like a blues standard and it's just generally very musically interesting and beautiful

A stone-cold classic. The combination of proper rock songs with more folky tracks makes for a great listen.

Iconic. Live the rock with the touch of acoustic and folk vibes

Awesome! Not my favorite songs of theirs but hard t find a flaw.

so cool

Jack Whites father

What new can be said, a seminal album from a band synonymous with rock and roll.

Great album that I think gets lost in the shuffle of other LZ albums at times. The band continues to expand their sound, and lots of “deep tracks” with only one single off this one.

While I've heard a lot of their hits, this is the first Led Zeppelin album I've ever listened to in its entirety. I enjoyed it for the most part. Jimmy Page shows of both his acoustic and electric guitar talents here. Favorite tracks: Immigrant Song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Favorite Songs: Immigrant Song / Tangerine
