Reviews (page 7 of 14)
Large number of evergreen songs, "Babe I'm Gonna Leave Ya" stands out for intensity and raw **edge**.
Increíble álbum. Dazed and confused es genial. I can't quit you baby me da goosebumps cada vez que lo escucho. Los riffs y la armonía de todo queda muy muy bien. Es un álbum rutero, rock pesado bluesero pero para nada dificil de escucharlo. Top.
Cracking album, these guys were just nailing every genre they felt like right from the first album, fair play
Great album 4.02 Good times bad times Dazed and Confused Babe im gonna leave you
Bueno bueno
Nice album. Meget eksperimenterende. Synes dog nogle af numrene har for svage hooks til at være så lange. Ellers synes jeg albummet er en interessant oplevelse. Standouts: Good Times Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Your Time Is Gonna Come
And for my final Led Zeppelin album of the project, we have Led Zeppelin's first album. Funny how that works, isn't it? So, this is definitely an iconic album. I'm not going to argue against its inclusion on this list. Why would I? However, I will admit that this album, and Led Zeppelin in general, aren't entirely my favorite. I'll start with the praise though. The musical talent that these guys have is immense. Right from the get-go, Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham all demonstrated a considerable amount of prowess in their respective musical fields. I can't deny that these guys are among the best to ever do it from a technical perspective. But that's something you can say when talking about most of their albums. What's specifically special about their debut? Well, I was actually kind of amazed by how the Led Zeppelin sound was as fully formed on the first album as it was. A lot of bands and artists have noticeable growing pains on their first few albums, but Led Zeppelin were doing just fine on their first release. Songs like "Good Times Bad Times," "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," and "Dazed and Confused" are still stone-cold classics. Sure, Robert Plant's vocal delivery sounds a little different here compared to later albums and the album at large has a much stronger focus on blues rock than an album like Led Zep IV, but for the most part, this is the Led Zeppelin that you know and probably love. But of course, people didn't know and love the band when this album released, which brings me to another piece of praise. This album must've felt unreal when it released! I mean, this was 1969! I have to give this band props for innovation in the hard rock world. But, I will say that not every part of this album is "innovative" per se. Yeah, let's talk about the controversial parts of the album. Like all popular bands, Led Zeppelin are not void of criticisms. Many of these complaints are fairly standard for rock bands of the time, but there's one specific complaint that's always been of interest to me regarding Led Zeppelin specifically. That, of course, is the accusations of plagiarism. Now, I'm not going to go around definitively calling Jimmy Page a filthy plagiarist, but if you were to use an album to do that, this would be the one. Led Zep I has its fair share of covers on it. Some of them were properly attributed to their original writers, others were not. This definitely taints the reputation of the album and band at large by a little bit, but it's actually not the biggest deal on the planet for one big reason. Sure, a song like "Dazed and Confused" may have been heavily inspired by Jake Holmes's song, but Led Zeppelin do more than enough with the song to make it feel like a new, arguably better, song. Like, if I wrote a song and these guys copied it, I'd still sue them, but I'd give them a pat on the back for doing something cool with the song. The point is, the unoriginality is balanced by enough originality to make the album still good. Now, I do still have one more complaint before I go. Led Zeppelin's lyrics have never been my favorite. The "baby honey child" stuff doesn't do it for me. It honestly makes me a little uncomfortable at times, especially knowing Jimmy Page's dating history. This isn't as much of an issue on later albums, but it is here, so take that for what you will. Still, at the end of the day, Led Zeppelin's debut is a killer first showing that mostly holds up to this day. This album definitely leans more in the "good times" part of "Good Times Bad Times" if you know what I'm saying. High 4/5.
So hard to give this anything lower than 4 despite it being on the bottom half of Zeppelin albums for me. That's how much they rule.
Eh it was good. I’m not gonna lie I zoned in an out but sounded enjoyable.
This is a great album, just not Led Zepp's greatest. It's underbaked - understandably as their debut. We can hear the blues roots, and the direction they're going, it's just too close to the start of that sound journey for me.
Great songs - a few I hadn't heard in a very long time. Nice to hear again.
Frequent rotation on rock stations not withstanding I haven't given much attention to Led Zeppelin. This album is solid full of great guitar sounds, and driving drums that are undeniably fun to listen to. Even though some of the tracks are longer by modern standards they don't seem to devolve into jam band wankery that gets tiresome.
Super powerful record. The guitar work is so incredible. So much power in the riffs, it's not the flashiest and sounds a bit rough at times but honestly that makes it even better. I love how wild and even at times improvised this record sounds. The band really plays to their strengths mostly. The harder songs rock, the folksy one sound great too. I think some of the blues rock tracks are the weakest element of this record (You Shook Me and I Can't Quit You Baby) but even those are admirable.
auuu
This was great! Loved the abrasiveness and the raw vocal performances throughout here. They definitely nailed down a very specific sound even on this (their debut), and it happens to convey a lot of energy and emotion. Favorites: Good Times Bad Times, Dazed and Confused, Black Mountain Side, Communication Breakdown
Feels like a natural start point to led zeppelin 2, like the vibes and easy to listen to
Ok yeah I get it
.........sounds about right. onward and zepward. my tolerance for cock rock has lessened over the years. that said my thoughts on the zep™️ are that the real Weirdos were doing coke in an ontologically evil enough city (Birmingham) to invent Real metal. still good though. 3.8-4.3. the riff at the end of "babe i'm gonna leave you" is just "25 or 6 to 4" without upstrokes. lowk nonce libertarian high school music teacher jumpscare. addendum: a. https://x.com/vincestaples/status/2048811163715346874?s=20 b. jimmy page is a Great vocalist in the same way post quincy MJ is. just because your voice Can do that doesn't mean that it Needs to.
I love the instrumentals and how they make they bass sound like it's talking and singing back and the harmonizing with it is killer. The lyrics can be pretty deep as well there's an overall smoothness to the album with it's storytelling
nice
7/10
Харош. Мабуть слухав цей альбом раніше, але точно не багато. Цікаво, цікаво. Dazed and Confused клас, дуже різноманітний, з динамікою яка змінюється, сайкоделік трек. Black Mountain Side акустичний фольковий трек, який гарно починається переплітаючись з кінцем попереднього треку. I Can’t Quit You Baby повільний, ліричний і дуже гітар-соло центричний трек. Я хоч і не по мєдлякам, але це зайшло. Альбом сподобався, класні блюз рокові гітари, треки досить довгі як для такого жанру, але тим і цікаві, бо в одному треку більше всяких різних відтінків. Не дуже подобається надривний вокал, але сайдьот. Залишаю альбом на плеєрі, ще буду слухати.
I own this record. Obviously know Led Zeppelin. As far as I recall I’ve listened all the way through 1 time, and generally I like an album a lot better the second time. Good times bad times is really good, awesome guitar riff and solo. Good not great lyrics. I do like the vocals and harmonies tho. Nice change of pace with I’m gonna leave you. This is a really nice ballad followed by classic Led Zeppelin guitar. Much catchier. Vocals aren’t loud enough in the middle portion. The drums and guitar rock but the sound is just a little off. Other than that this is just straight up a really good song for all 6+ mins. Never heard a guitar sound like it does on you shook me. Classic zeppelin vocals. Keyboard solo 🔥🔥🔥. And then the harmonica, they’re pulling out all the stops for the solos. Really cool song. Really good vocals/lyrics in dazed and confused. Great guitar again obviously. What a song. Followed by another classic in your time is gonna come. This song reminds me of childhood. Love that guitar riff. Love going right into black mountain side after as well. This is another really good change of pace/palette cleanser. Shows that there more than just a rock band. Back on track with communication breakdown. This one is classic zeppelin. I can’t quit you baby is just ok. Awesome guitar but that’s it. Come to expect that at this point. How many more times as the enter seals this as an all time album. Another absolute banger. All of the 5+ min songs are so good. It’s not their best album, but for a debut it’s hard to top this. What a fun listen. Hard to say there’s any skips. 4.4/5 stars.
Inte färdiga än. Men verkligen lovande. Det nyskapande soundet finns där. Gitarrerna är otroliga. En fyra
This is a band fully formed on its debut and knowing that they are already one of the greatest bands in the world at that time. So much confidence in the performance. Tracks are good but better will follow. Tails off a little towards the end
Otra banda clásica a la cual apenas le doy su oportunidad completa con este proyecto y confirman su fama y su nivel, que entretenidos son
Led Zeppelin's debut album is a fantastic mix of rock and blues. It has so many lasting hits that I knew as well as a few songs I never really listened to before. Not every song was an instant classic, but its such a good album on the whole. Honestly they are one of the few bands I can name every member of, especially ones that haven't put out new material in 46 years.
Goddamn 1969... Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album (definitely IV) but its insane how this album just exploded into the world fully formed like the immaculate conception. Bluesy hard rock, just a little bit stolen (which they have since paid for) Never a huge fan of blues Robert Plant. There's only so much man orgasming POV I can take. The rest of the band are some of the greatest to ever do it though.
Pre Listen: Led Zeppelin? Based as fuck. I haven't listened to this album in full in quite a long time. I know I took songs from it and added them to my playlist back when I did, but my memory's fuzzy on the songs I left behind. I'll soon either remember why, or will likely be adding a few more. Notable Tracks: Good Times Bad Times - Iconic way to start the album. Absolute hall-of-famer right here. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - First song that I didn't add to my playlist from way back when. Not making that mistake twice, COMPLETE banger. Dazed and Confused - Least favorite track on the album then, least favorite now. The moanin and groanin part of the song just isn't pleasant. Communication Breakdown - Another classic, though I don't like this one as much as Good Times Bad Times. Post Listen: I remember now why I don't really have as many songs from this album as I thought I might; it's a fairly short album, and the songs that are great I already have. Everything else is pretty good, but the stand-out songs almost make them pale in comparison. Robert Plant's vocals are iconic, but they range from feeling heart-felt to just kind of grating. To me the biggest stars of the band are the lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, and the drummer, John Bonham. Their work is the main course throughout the whole experience. This is classic, foundational Rock. Despite that I gotta give it a 4/5, Led Zeppelin made better albums as they matured together further along.
잠깐 들었지만 들을만한
So cool, but very frontloaded
Led Zeppelin always killing it with the bluesey rock. I've honestly never gotten really really into them but I just might be as a result of this project. A really cohesive album. Dare I say no skips? I need to listen again.
The blues roots are prominent, the music has a lot of variety, the vocals are really letting it rip. It's a hell of an opening album for LZ. Some truly amazing songs on here, but they kind of get lost in the weeds a bit on others. A lot of songs didn't need to be as long as they were. It was a very enjoyable listen all around. It's a great rock album and absolutely deserves high praise for what it's dishing out.
This is just such a classic rock album. Trendsetting in so many ways. Plants singing, Page's playing, ionic drummer and bass player.
Led zeppelins hugely influenced by the blues. A fact that remains mostly buried. The latter albums are more zeppelinny for the lack of a better word. This one is too close to the og blues. It is extraordinary but being close to the og sound this one makes me sad. Like the ogs deserved more recognition. Idk. Just a feeling
A few songs drag on but you can see the seeds of what would become one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Led Zeppelin is absolute proof that a "complicated" history is only gonna hurt you so much if you happen to be extremely good at the thing you do. But we have plenty of Led Zeppelin albums to burn through on the list, so I'm not gonna get too deep in the weeds on the band's transgressions for now. But what I will say is that this is both, objectively, an immortal classic, and subjectively, not my favorite Led Zeppelin album, featuring songs that don't fully do it for me. But, in general, I would say that Zeppelin were the single British Invasion band who were best at running off with the blues sound and incorporating it in a way that ultimately was kind of their own. And I think they were one of the only rock bands of this time that managed to capture the raw power and stomp of genuine electric blues artists. And this is a *very* solid showing that displays the incredible full picture that Zeppelin was as a band. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones all approached their instruments and performances here in individually iconic ways, and the result is one of the more solid full bands of all time. I think the best songs here are among Zeppelin's absolute best. Dazed and Confused (more or less written by Jake Holmes), Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (written by Anne Bredon), Communication Breakdown, and How Many More Times are among Zeppelin's greatest songs. The rest is also good, but I'm a little less floored. But I can't really rag on this, it's absolutely iconic, and largely lives up to the hype.
7/10
Enjoyable!
A cornerstone of modern rock music, This album is awesome.
Excellent
When I was a teenager (late 90s/early 00s), Led Zeppelin was my Beatles. Before I ever seriously got interested in "classic" punk rock, this kind of "hard blues" genre was the first 'old' genre that I was ever interested in. If I could go back and live through 1967-1977, I'd do it in a second (minus the Vietnam of it all). Living through the height of Cream, The Beatles at peak creativity (and dysfunction), the origins of Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, David Bowie, The Stooges, the rise and fall of Dust, ETC ETC ETC... and then see punk take off in 1977. What a time, man. This record is in the canon of greatest debut albums of all time, for sure. Is it perfect? No. Is any rock & roll truly perfect? Besides, I like a little muss. Out of curiosity, I did go back and listen to the first Blue Cheer record (released in 1968) just to get a direct comparison of the two albums. If I was tempted to complain about how many times Robert Plant says "baby" on this record, that Blue Cheer revisit confirmed it was just the thing back then; there's babies everywhere on that record too. If I would have been enthusiastic to hear Blue Cheer in '68, I would have loved this in '69. And then the Sabbath debut in '70, just to make sure I can lose my mind entirely. My new observation today was about how much proto-prog rock there is on this record. It kinda makes me sad that this could turn into prog, but I get it. God bless rock & roll.
7.8/10 A very influential record on the hard rock scene, Led Zeppelin I proved to be an electrifying debut for the legendary group. While a lot of this album is made of covers of old blues songs, differentiating this album from their later works, the band never fails to bring their own style and structure to these projects. I've always appreciated how dynamic the best Led Zeppelin tracks are, in addition to absolutely timeless riffs and arrangements. However, while the original tracks written by the band are consistently good, some of the cover songs suffer depending on how flexible the originals were to adapt into this heavier style. While I'm confident in saying tracks like "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Dazed and Confused" are among some of the best covers/rearrangements in history, others like "You Shook Me" and "Black Mountain Side" sound like wading through molasses and undercut the energy and flow of the rest of the album. Nevertheless, the rawness of the album, its theatrical and dramatic nature, and its versatility in tackling subjects like destruction and devastation, but also love and sex make this more than just a transitional piece, it turns it into a beloved classic. Good Times Bad Time - 9 Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - 9 You Shook Me - 6 Dazed and Confused - 8 Your Time Is Gonna Come - 7 Black Mountain Side - 6 Communication Breakdown - 8 I Can't Quit You Baby - 7 How Many More Times - 8
Used to be obsessed with LZ and I do still really like them, but I don't think this album is exactly their best
I love Led Zeppelin, glad I got the chance to sit and listen to this album, I’m realizing I’m a sucker for rock like this
Not much to say. It's classic rock. It's Zeppelin. Maybe not my favorite album of theirs, but a crazy good debut. 4/5
Really good. Just classic rock done to the highest degree. Bit samey but still great.
Superb! Another album I'm already familiar with. I think this website is just stroking my ego. 1001 albums to listen to before you die? I think I'm halfway there lol. Anywho, Zeppelin fucking rocks. My favorite tracks are How Many More Times and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.
lowkey hype as hell
Not their strongest offering, but a great intro to their discography. Rating: 7.5/10 Favorite Song: Babe I’m gonna leave you, how many more times
3,5/5
Sin quererlo y sin saberlo, iba a decir que este álbum suena un poco country y que incluso, siento que es como suena en mi mente Los Ángeles, california, si es que Los Ángeles tuviera un sonido al llegar ahí (no se si me explico, de todos modos nunca he estado en Los Ángeles jaja supongo?). Es algo así como una mezcla de blues, country gringo y un sonido británico ácido. No es mi favorito de led zeppelin, pero sin duda estaría en mi top 3 de álbumes de la banda.
Classic.
John Bonham!
Is it their best? No, was it a statement of what was to come? Absolutely. Mid 4s.
Fantastic album from a legendary band. John Bohnam does something most drummers did not do until after him. He did more thank keep the beat, he played drums like Jimmy Page played guitar, which was to bring the rhythm to the foreground of the song.
Not even their best album, yet a monumental album in rock. Some all time classics on here. Very blues forward album. Vocals, guitars, drums all great. With there being at least 4 other Zeppelin albums I like more than this one, I couldn't give it 5 stars.
Not really my thing, but I see the artistry. I love how the tracks blend together so it feels more like a 45 minute jam session rather than a bunch of individual tracks.
Meget bra, men ikke perfekt.
Yikes. Robert Plant does NOT think highly of women here.
Way more funk to it than I would have thought, iconic tracks like Good Times Bad Times, a fun start to this adventure
Good album 👍 Already heard the whole thing before but a solid bunch Zeppelin songs
già sentito, mi metto a riascoltarlo alle prime due poco da dire, due canzoni leggendarie, good times bad times ha un'energia incontenibile e sembra quasi presentare ogni membro con delle piccole parti dove brillano, anche se l'eroe è bonham babe i'm gonna leave you è leggendaria dazed and confused e communication breakdown sono gli altri due highlight maggiori, la seconda veramente isterica
this album is fuckin weird. the first couple tracks are all round solid but then "you shook me" comes on and im kinda just left wondering if they took a huge collective bong rip between songs cos its suddenly all drawn out and sleepy and sludgy?? it sounds like they recorded this in the hyperbolic time chamber and now we're listening in regular time so its like 3 times the original length and kind of rules???? it stays that way for most of the rest of the album too, as if they blew everything on those first two songs (and like, "communication breakdown" i guess) then got really tired and started playing in slow motion. idk what happened but i like it a lot other than that i also enjoyed the organs on "your time is gonna come", and "black mountain side" got me feeling like im lost in mystic ruins again. so im basically having a good time with this one. not necessarily an album that gets the "i fucking love music" reaction outta me, but it still got a solid "yay :O3"
yeah baby rock and roll!!
did not love the last Zeppelin album i listened to but this one is pretty cool. i like the part in "You Shook Me" where Robert Plant makes his voice drop off like an air raid siren winding down
It was awesome! I’d heard some of the songs before, but this was my first time listening to the entire album. Not 5 stars just because it only has 9 songs
Not as strong as their later stuff, more bluesy, still great
Feels like I should enjoy it more, but honestly only about half of the songs were very good and the rest were just OK
One of the most highly rated albums on this list per our communal discussion, and likely one of the most famous albums of all time. In many ways it seems odd to consider 4 stars in any way "disappointing", but here that is below the average, is it not? This album is good, undeniably, but with such a reputation very little could live up to it, and it is a personal matter with my own tastes that so much of this album are covers. Led Zeppelin deserve their place in music's history, and I doubt many will dispute that, I was only surprised they got there blazing onto the scene with a great many covers, but it was a different era. A lot of power, strong vocals, and excellent riffs and beats, but not all I was hoping for from a band with such a throne. Good stuff, but I hope the next Led Zeppelin album I find on this list scratches that itch a touch more than what I got here. A solid start all the same, and sometimes that's all a worldchanger needs.
One of their best!
Great debut album, the blueprint for their later signature blues & rock style.
Só porque diz demasiadas vezes Baby, baby, baby…
Zeppelin baby
J'avais cette impression de flotter dans un autre monde, paisible, sans espace temps, en regardant les passants du métro courir pour aller travailler.
Bon, Je me souviens de l'avoir écouté en 4eme et de ne pas avoir aimé du tout. À ma grande surprise je le comprends mieux cet album maintenant. Les mix d'instruments pour l'époque sont très cool Un très bon debute album Écouté au travail et l'album passe bien Donc franchement 4
😊
Awesome!
Are my ears not trained for this music? I did like it tho
definitely rocks. i never appreciated how unique the sound is. i don't wanna speculate on the blueprint or legacy or whatever, but that droning valhalla ass guitar vibe as a evocative template for the whole "vikings slaying dragons while rock music plays" aesthetic is super sick. favorite song is Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Incredible, ground-breaking, energetic. Reduced from 5 to 4 due to Robert Plant singing the word 'baby' so often it's tiresome and corny.
Few bands are still womewhat soundsearching and yet deliver such masterpieces as Baby I'm gonna leave You and Dazed and Confused.
Listening session: april 24th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: I’ve never listened much to Led Zeppelin, but man this album is great. The guitar work is top notch and I really like how they made songs their own when covering something Favourite tracks: Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, Dazed and Confused, Good Times Bad Times
Waren ein paar Banger Songs dabei, aber bin mir nicht ganz sicher. ganz coole Atmosphäre an mancher Stelle auf jede Fall.
A good album some good albums I feel they have better album but it’s still a good album not perfect for me but still good
Five stars don't leave a lot of room for nuance. What we have here is not Led Zepplin's best. That's more left to II, possibly the underrated III, or Physical Graffiti. It's also basically an album of covers. While I get that a lot of bands of this era started with these cover filler tracks (aka The Beatles), it's not a true showcase of what they could do. So what do you rate this? 3 stars is reserved for that "it's not that bad but it's surely not good" era of murky middle that makes you wonder why albums were on this list. So move it up to a 4. But is it really a 4? I'm actually quite indifferent about this album in many ways. On the other hand, when this came out in 1969 I can only imagine what dropping the needle on this was like. And John Bohnam. John Bohnam back there on the kit is so, so good. But one must leave room for II and Physical Graffitti. Can four Zepplin albums earn five star ratings? Me thinks not. I also think this isn't so bad that it's a three. Sometimes I wish we went to 10 stars. This is a solid 6 or 7 on that ranking. Here, we're going with 4, but it's like a 4.2.
Really cool introduction to a pioneering rock band (even if they're just cribbing most of it from black artists)
Better than Coldplay
Album 172. Led Zeppelin (https://open.spotify.com/album/3ycjBixZf7S3WpC5WZhhUK?si=mQ180puOQe6RniBTkvq2RA) — Led Zeppelin (1969) Happy to get this classic rock album today. It's awesome and hard to believe that's just a debut. 4/5 Liked: — Good Times Bad Times — Babe I'm Gonna Leave You — Dazed and Confused — Your Time Is Gonna Come — Communication Breakdown
Me gusta la distorsión. Bien heavy.
Obviously great. But I really don’t like You Shook Me.
Dreamy music that puts you inside the tune and emotion. If you want an escape experience this is it.
This album has its historical value. The 70s sound, although it's a 1969 album, great riffs (or ripoffs, but at least they improved the original ideas), Bonham, JPJ and Page are incredible musicians... and there is Robert Plant. Overrated for sure... good vocalist, mediocre lyricist. All factors considered, it's a solid and heavy blues rock album. 7,8/10
While I find elements of this album a bit dated now, I’d love to time travel to 1969 and here how revolutionary this must have sounded.
Favorite songs: Good Times Bad Times, Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, Your Time Is Gonna Come, Communication Breakdown,
more bluesey than their other stuff, drums are always great. iv is better
A few absolute bangers. Starts great with Giod Times Bad Times. Not consistent but solid. One of the best games rhythm sections in history. I don’t think they had very healthy relationships. Maybe that’s why the band broke up.
heavy experience, absolutely powerful
Ok - his voice is not great without a lot of instrumentation to support it. I liked Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Black Mountain Side the best. 3.5
Sometimes I go into the records this website spits out and think I'll surely like something, and then hate it. This time I thought I'd hate it, but I liked it.
Here’s a fun game. What band or artist had arguably the best song of their entire career as track one on their first album? For example: “Straight Outta Compton” - NWA; “Welcome to the Jungle” - Guns & Roses; “Black Sabbath” - Black Sabbath; “Blitzkrieg Bop” - The Ramones; “Head Like a Hole” - Nine Inch Nails; “More Than a Feeling” - Boston; “My Name is Jonas” - Weezer; “Blister in the Sun” - Violent Femmes; “Dog Days are Over” - Florence and the Machine; “I Wanna be Adored” - Stone Roses; “Let the Good Times Roll” - The Cars; “Time to Pretend” - MGMT; “See No Evil” - Television; “Running with the Devil” - Van Halen; “Radio Free Europe” - REM, and perhaps more than any of these others, “Good Times Bad Times” as the first track on this album. What an amazing introduction to one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Led Zeppelin has a lot of problems (blatant plagiarism of blues artists, pedophilia) and I have a lot of problems with Led Zeppelin (hearing them too much on classic rock radio growing up, a singer with a high-pitched voice, the annoying orgasmic moans he does) but I can’t ever bring myself not to think that they rock. You can be good at lots of things or you can be truly great at one thing and Led Zeppelin is truly great at rocking. That is enough for me to enjoy your music, despite all the issues associated with it.
no es mi gusto musical, pero muy bueno el instrumental. en algunas fue aburrido y me aturdió un poco.
It's good
Fue mí disfrutable el álbum, Gran variedad en ritmos y letras lo hacen muy entretenido
Fav: Good Times Bad Times Worst: You Shook Me
Que locura que sea un primer disco este. La mezcla de blues y rock que logran es impecable. El arte de la tapa siempre me pareció grandioso.
7 - GOOD
Discovered this album in college so it was a very inspirational an experimental time in my life.
A great, classic, rock album. Fantastic, fun to listen to.
Zep is one of the greatest bands in the world when they stick to hard rock and let the rhythm section drive things, and not as much when they deviate from that with organs, harmonicas and other bullshit. This album sticks to the formula on half the tracks ("Good Times, Bad Times" "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" "Dazed and Confused" "Communication Breakdown" and "How Many More Times") and that's enough to make this a really good album, if not necessarily a great one.
7/10 Not as heavy as I usually like but still very enjoyable.
Killer first album. We have to stan. Favorite tracks: Dazed & Confused, I Can't Quit You Baby, How Many Times.
Had not listened to this album before. Good grooves, recognizable riffs, great guitar solos. Heavy blues influence. Lots of songs about mean, mistreatin' women!
Not a strong opinion either way but, it was alright.
Amazing debut record. Really love Babe I'm gonna leave you. Could be a bit more interesting at times in some songs for me, but overall its a great experience to listen too. Heavy. 1. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You 2. Good Times Bad Times 3. Your Time Is Gonna Come
Good Times Bad Times - 4/5 Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - 4/5 You Shook Me - 3/5 Dazed and Confused - 4/5 Your Time is Gonna Come - 3.5/5 Black Mountain Slide - 3.5/5 Communication Breakdown - 4.5/5 I Can't Quit You Baby - 3.5/5 How Many More Times - 3.5/5 I didn't grow up around LZ a lot, so I think I've removed myself from any bias from anyone around me that would claim that they are one of the best bands there is. After seeing that 2/3's of this album are covers and half of those weren't given proper credit, I think I need to bump down the score. There's only so much Plant's "aaaAAAaaAAaaAA" I can manage in a single sitting and the solos rarely add anything besides the first few bars. It's not a perfect debut as some would claim but it's still a solid foundation. It's a 4 for me but a really low 4 teetering on a 3.5. Overall: 4/5 Favorites: Communication Breakdown
Ok
Measuring stick album similar to Black Sabbath, not quite to the upper echelon for me to give a 5
Definitely not my favorite Zeppelin record so far with much more evidence that it is their first. Still incredibly impressive for a debut and had some outstanding tracks that I will be listening to in the future. The versatility throughout is as well very cool to see at such an early stage and proves their ability. I still love most of the vibes within each song, just some were dragged on a bit long and less interesting than others.
8/10 q buena instrumental
well...yes!
Típico sonido de los 60s y solo puedo decir que me hizo obsesionarme aún más con jimmy page y robert plant
yup, good ol zeppelin
I surprisingly don’t have a lot to say about this one, maybe because it’s one of the albums I’ve listened to so far that I’m most familiar with and have probably heard the most recently. It’s classic Zeppelin. Great musicianship. I do feel like they hadn’t cemented their personal identity as a band yet on this record. It feels more derivative than their subsequent work, and the context of them failing to credit Black musicians makes me knock a point off of this record for its sound that does little to innovate on the Blues it’s inspired by.
Nothing to add here. Sometimes they sound like a parody but when they hit, they hit hard.
ta bueno
Love the blues feel, solid first album
4/1001 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin (1969) First Led Zeppelin! My experience with them started and ended with listening to Stairway to Heaven when I was younger... and Guitar Hero. And honestly, what an album. It's crazy that 1969 was such a good year for music that you could reasonably argue this doesn't even crack the top 5 or even 10 albums in that year. "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Dazed and Confused" are timeless and I cannot imagine being a teenager in the late 60s, turning this on, and having your mind completely blown. ★★★★
best album before physical graffiti
MC and 1001 have encouraged me to challenge various musical prejudices, Led Zeppelin being one. It must have been an explosive debut album at the time.
Perhaps not led zepellins best but still an incredible album. Great rock n roll album with some brilliantly catchy riffs
Album importantissimo per la storia dell’hard rock e poi il groove di good times bad times è tra i groove più iconici di sempre
Great album. Rock and roll!
Solid all around 4/5
A classic add an amazing freshman effort, but, man, some of the transitions between tracks are jarring.
Not their finest, but still pretty good. Right up my street.
Good! This is kind of the opposite of the spectrum from the other things Ive liked, but it would very fun to have in the backgground for me. I think a few moments are not as exciting for me, but they act as very good lead ups. I think a slice would end up in my regualr rotation, and the rest are just pleasant to run into. I think my favorite is a tie between good times, bad times and babe im gonna leave you.
Good Times Bad Times: 4.5/5 Babe I’m Gonna Leave You: 4.5/5 You Shook Me: 2/5 Dazed And Confused: 3/5 Your Time Is Gonna Come: 3.5/5 Black Mountain Side: 4/5 Communication Breakdown: 4/5 I Can’t Quit You Baby: 3/5 How Many More Times: 3.5/5
Led Zeppelin were fully formed straight out of the gate, this is far more mature than your average debut rock album. The opening four tracks are classic stomping blues rock tracks are really show how tight a group Zeppelin were. ‘Your Time Is Gonna Come’ introduces a glorious choral element to the album. ‘Black Mountain Side’ is a beautiful instrumental which shows off how adaptable they could be away from the straight blues rock. ‘Communication Breakdown’ is a classic, sounding like a wild release of frustration.
Good. Glad I started my 1001 albums with this one.
I was nervous for my informational interview yesterday morning and this was the perfect album to listen to on the way to work. I particularly loved Babe I’m Gonna Leave You with the pounding drums and guitar. An album that rocks.
Þvílík veisla. Ekki þeirra þekktustu lög (en nokkur þeirra) en samt svo hrikalega góð lög. Mér finnst svo leiðinlegt að hafa ekki verið uppi á þessum tíma því þetta er mín týpa af tónlist.
Bangin
Hell yeah this was great. Very enjoyable listen although I can't help but think I'm listening to Black Sabbath at times
Classic debut. Led Zeppeling take Blues Rock a make it heavier and punchier. The mysticism elements would come a couple of albums later, but here we get a no frills Hard Rock release, performed immaculately. Of course being the late 60's, we also get some psychedelic excursions, like in "Dazed and Confused". Really great starting point for a band that would get even better from here. And yes, haters will be quick to claim a lot of these songs were stolen from earlier (black) blues musicians, but blues song all sound pretty alike anyway. Key tracks: Good Times Bad Times Babe I'm Gonna Leave You Dazed and Confused Communication Breakdown
uau um self titled!!! FAVS (top 3): babe im gonna leave you, dazed and confused, communication breakdown mençoes honrosas: you shook me, your time is gonna come um bom album, o final é tipo ok nada q nao tenha mostrado antes, mas é um bom album em geral, nao é muito grande mas enfim, as tracks sao grandes e coesas, nao ficam muito repetititvas e nao mudam muito do nada, otimo e perfeito nota final: 4/5
I've moved on from this band and album long abo, but I must grudgingly admit this still holds up.
One of the last British empire conquests was these guys stealing that Mississippi Delta flow. 4.5/5 a good start but not one of the best Led Zeppelin albums.
Incredible, only complaint is that it’s too short
Another great Led Zepplin album 👍
Must admit I listened while working but I think it was good
4 stars not 5 because they ripped off a lot of blues players, but still hard not to love this right from the opening bars. Long time favorite: “How many more times”
Apparently I really like Led Zeppelin but this album is not quite up to Led Zeppelin IV. 4.5
Credit where its due... I liked this much more than I thought based on my pre-concieved notion of what Led Zep is I'll probably keep this in rotation
Good ole Zep. Thee rock band of the 70s. Pioneers to metal and androgynous hair bands. There was honestly an abundance of Zeppelin/Robert Plant copies in the 80s. Truly an all star rock quartet. A lot of loud, electric blues rock on their debut. This is a solid 3.5 that I’m rounding up because Zeppelin gets the benefit of the doubt. Their later efforts are much more composed, original and cohesive.
Mitt første (ordentlige) møte Le Zep var IV som var den eneste av skivene deres som var å finne i CD-hylla i kjelleren. Et litt mer fruktbart møte skjedde etter at de slapp Mothership Connection som jeg egentlig hørte veldig mye på på ungdomsskolen og veldig lite på etter. Tror aldri jeg har hørt noen andre studio-skiver. Med unntak av et par kjipe blues-låter, synes jeg dette er ganske bra. Ikke overraskende liker jeg best de sporene som dypper tærne i psych, spesielt Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, men også Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused. Jeg trives også godt i gospel-modus på Your Time Is Gonna Come hvor Led finner opp Lynyrd Skynyrd. Siste låta er også en banger.
oh mr zeppelin i wasnt aware of your game
This debut album turned out to be one of the most influential rock records of all-time giving the start to Led Zeppelin. It is consistent and it combines blues and rock in a way that would echo through the years. The songs are bold, sexy and timeless. Listening through them is a breeze and they can really make you move. You may also start feeling like the main character of a novel from the 20th century. My favorite track is "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You".
Fantastic album. Really Bluesy, Rocky, classic. Every song a belter. Just under a 5 for me because it isn't my favourite of theirs. Overall an absolute classic from start to finish.
Great album. I didn't know there was so much blues as a part of it
great album
Oh yeah
I have been pleasantly surprised by every album I've listened to on here, and this is no exception. I love when the blues seeps through the rock in some of these tracks. Once again, not something I'm probably going to listen to on repeat, but I won't shut away from listening to Led Zeppelin in future.
Theirs is no doubt this is a total classic debut album. What can I say other than what a fantastic rock record
One of the best debut albums ever.
Not their best - but a very good introduction to Led
Solid front to back. 8/10 Top songs Dazed and Confused Black Mountain Slide How Many More Times
Led Zeppelin I (1969) Записан за 36 часов. Тридцать шесть, Карл. Пейдж пришёл в студию с готовыми аранжировками — он годами оттачивал их ещё в The Yardbirds — и просто дал четырём людям сыграть то, что они слышат внутри. Роберт Плант до этого пел в полузабытых блюз-группах Мидлендса. Джон Бонэм молотил так, что звукоинженеры не знали, как его записывать. Джон Пол Джонс пришёл из сессионных музыкантов и мог сыграть всё что угодно лучше всех остальных в комнате. Это блюз-альбом, который не знает, что он блюз-альбом. Половина материала — переработанные Вилли Диксон, Мадди Уотерс, Роберт Джонсон. Зеппелины взяли чужие скелеты и нарастили на них такое количество мяса, что оригиналы стало не узнать — что потом вылилось в несколько судебных исков, часть из которых они проиграли. Но именно это и делает альбом великим — не оригинальность материала, а то, что четыре человека первый раз зашли в студию и сыграли так, будто играют вместе всю жизнь. Этот альбом — не дебют, это явление.
Like a longer slower Greta Van Fleet
Oh hell yeah. I haven't hear much Zeppelin, but this was fun. Loved the Rock blended with Jazz, Blues, and Folk elements seamlessly. Awesome guitar riffs. Soulful wailing vocals. Didn't immediately blow me out of the park, but I warmed up to it quickly!!
These boys literally started their career with the song Good Times Bad Times. Not my favorite Zeppelin albums but still very strong
Kan'ke klage for mye på denne. Sparker fortsatt bra fra.
This is classic hard rock, straight from the book. It features strong blues influences. Highlights include "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Communication Breakdown. Lyrics are a bit disappointing. Apparently it's all about leaving girls, not leaving girls, cheating girls and so on. Maybe it's typical in 1969 but certainly not interesting at all in 2026.
One of the classic Classic Rock albums. Manages to exhibit all the standards of the genre without being formulaic or stale.
the definition of "classic rock". But a few nice blues titles that show the roots and their influence that cant be seen in later works.
i mean this is such a good album. “dazed and confused” is my fav zeppelin song.
Great album
Id give this a 85/100 off first listen. I can see why this one was very influential for the genre of rock n roll
great sound...
First one i am listening to and rating. this is my first pure Rock Album and i quite enjoyed it but i dont realy have a lot of comparison so 3,5/5.
voix rock blues 9/10
Really enjoyed moments of this. I think with more listens I would adore it, sometimes it wasn't my favorite but sometimes it felt like I was soaring.
Can't tell if this sounds unremarkable because it is or because it's the blueprint
Oh yeah, now this is a good meal. I loved the blues vibe of "You Shook Me", and the rest of album was an enjoyable listen. Definitely can see myself on my balcony listening to this in the summer. 8/10
Classic. Every song is good but there isn't quite enough pure riffage and excitement for me to go full 5 stars. Black Mountain Side, yes please.
This is my first ever Led Zeppelin album listen. I have heard so many other bands I listen to reference them as inspiration, and the source material does speak for itself. Each instrument is prominent and loud (especially the drums), and Robert Plant's voice is so soulful. Some of the parts of the album were too bluesy for me, but the overall concept and sound of the album was amazing. Notable songs for me were "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Dazed and Confused".
I have always been interested in listening to this album, and of course, it is good. The album’s opening is verrrry strong, and gets you immediately invested. The next three songs are slower, and upon listening to the album after a while of it, it was starting to lose me, however, it picks back up a little on Dazed and confused with some cool riffs. Even so, these three tracks were starting to have me a little worried for the rest of the album. Luckily the album reeled me back in from here on out, i like the 5th and 6th track(which feels like a fun jam session). the album is very bluesy at times, and those songs can feel formulaic to me at times, but you can’t deny the talent and uniqueness of this band.
This was my second Zep record in a week. I started the week with Physical Graffiti, and while there is nothing quite as collosal as Kashmir on here, it's still a very good blues album with some nice digressions into folk and Eastern music with tabla on Black Mountain Side
It’s really not my music style but was interesting to listen to.
beste immer noch the rain song
Amazing! I don't think I would of appreciated a rock album like this until I listened to Jeff Buckley late last year...I am in love with rock vocals!
Amazing production, can’t believe this came out in 1969
Amazing album, it's the start of the career of one of the greatest rock bands to ever exist. While they did have some amazing stuff later on, this debut album is a bit too much blues for my liking. "Good Times Bad Times" might be one of the best openers to an album ever, and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is a perfect follow up. "Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown" also are instant classics. I have reviewed this album before, and while I gave it a 7 / 10 back then, I do think it should be a bit higher than that, but it's a bit too heavy on the blues for me, so I'll give it a 8 / 10.
More bluesy and even soul-y than what's to come. Loved that last track in particular, that was just fantastic music and it lasted more than 8 minutes!
Good, for long trip. Second track very nice
Ah yeah. Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin. I mean, this history isn't it? It contains some bangers. Good Times Bad Times. Some songs in here were like whaaaaaaaawhaaaaaaaaa. Some songs were good times. It is well produced though, and does contain some good stuffs.
Pretty gud. Not yet their peak, (and huh a lot of songs are relationship related here) but some good sounds of the band getting revved up.
beh i led zeppelin sono i led zeppelin. non 5 stelle perché un album con tutte canzoni stupende non l'ho ancora trovato
Unlike actual zeppelins, I'm not sure this is as cool as people say.
8/10
Un álbum muuyyyyy sexy. Me imaginé escuchándolo en una cafetería, manejando, caminando, haciendo cosassssssss indebidassss!!!! wowowow bello álbum debut, debo decir que no es mi favorito de Led Zeppellin pero es un álbum que te invita a un viaje interesante
I grew up in the Midwest during the 70s. Albums like this were standard issue. It's almost perfect as far as debut records go.
My second Zeppelin here. Very good, just as the previous one was. From all the classic rock acts I've heard, Zeppelin easily has the most "timeless" feel. Great music, although not a fan of Plant's singing.
Not their best album, but still great
classic
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share. The mad thing is that they'd take this formula and make four even better albums over the next few years. (I'll take this one over Houses Of The Holy.) In spite of the better technical playing on 3 and 4, the greater range of experimentation and improvement in production on Physical Graffiti and the higher pure fun and air guitar factor on 2, I will always hold this record dear. I borrowed my Dad's Zeppelin records in my first year of uni and realised that while he'd obviously played them around us plenty in my childhood, I'd never stopped and properly listened. The debut is a reminder of how my 19-year-old mind was both blown and magnetically drawn closer. Page is arguably the best guitarist that ever lived, Plant's voice is incredible and they had an untouchable rhythm section to boot. And yet. And yet. Led Zeppelin were somehow even greater than the considerable sum of their parts. And How Many More Times is quite simply one of the best rock songs ever made.
Patiko, tekstas apie 10 vaikų crazy.
I enjoyed it
I like Led Zeppelin a lot more once they become less Blues Hammer, but it's hard to deny the power of this debut, even if it could stand to have 30% less simulated orgasms from Plant (in fairness, their second album is worse in this regard). Page's production is almost perfection, giving the elements space via innovative mic placements in order to capture the overwhelming live energy of the players. I could stand for more bass in the mix, though. Favorite song: Black Mountain Side
lo volveria a escuchar 4/5
Really good, although I've taken a better liking to the "rock style" ones rather than the slower paced ones. Which is ironic given the fact that the first the song by Led Zeppelin I've listen to was Stairway to Heaven. Amazing vocals and instrumentals.
It is hard to overestate what an extraordinary debut album this is, with Good Times, Bad Times arguably being the greatest introduction to a band ever. The music on this album blows away just about anything that was in the mainstream at the time. The uncredited use of so many blues songs by Black American artists has to be acknowledged and no matter how much that level of uncredited usage (I think its complicated in music to call this “stealing” but that’s not out of bounds imo) was the norm at the time, it was a shitty thing to do. It did have an impact on the awareness of these artists and their formative influence on rock and roll, but Led Zeppelin gets little credit given their choice to act like they were the full authors of these songs. The album remains a musical triumph that changed rock music. I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could.
Great one for sure. 4 stars.
Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but a great one to be sure.
When I was a teenager (wasn't this originally music for teenagers, by the way?) I didn't like this record as much as II or IV, finding it too bluesy... I find it more satisfying now, definitely at the level of the best Blues-Rock of the times (say, the Stones...) but heavier...
Solid classic rock
4.5
Like the solid foundation of a motif etc that’s goes throughout, but little intricate improvs make it so satisfying I listen to. A few very nice chords choices. And so many points where I’m hearing the basis for other well known songs. Hearing beastie boys and Aerosmith and the who to name a few
“iconic album cover and cassette beloved by 1980’s Camaro driving kids”
Good Times Bad Times ist ein großartiger Song, danach hat mich nichts mehr so umgehauen. Gutes Album, 3 1/2, ich runde auf.
Blues and Rock truly melding. Good Times Bad Times Dazed and Confused Communication Breakdown
All of Led Zeppelin is masterful. This record is much more subdued than I recall. For a debut record , this is a remarkable achievement. No one did blues infused rock and roll better than Zeppelin. Only reason I’m giving this a 4 instead of a 5 is that this is not the best of the best, and “You Shook Me”can get a tad tedious. (Maybe just that one). Basically Zeppelin gets even better and this album isn’t “perfect” like arguably some of their other records are. So I need to leave room for those other even mor
goeie, soms vond ik dat die iets meer mocht zingen ipv te schreeuwen maja whatever
Yeah some good early hard rock, really fun. 4 stars
Great debut record that crafted the beginnings of modern rock vocalist is very balanced, guitar work is fabulous Great standouts, Dazed and Confused and Good Time Bad Times Maybe a relisten is necassry, but not my favorite yet, and I think Zepplin has better albums after, particulary IV
I like this album bro
Classic!
Turned out I already liked one song from the album, but enjoyed some of the other tracks as well
- Good times bad times, the part were they sing the title is catchy and fun. And the guitar is amazing. The combination of both makes this a fun listen. -Babe I’m gonna leave you is a great rock heavy song with amazing performance. - You shook me contains an long and gripping instrumental part, ending not my favorite part. - Dazed and confused contains small ‘beat drop’ at the start. Also guitar rif followed by drums going ham. Second part includes another drum and guitat part that is outstanding and energetic. Favourite song so far. - Your time is gonna come, beginning feels like I’m in a churg. Great switch in music after the churg. First song where I am focussing on lyrics and the message and the delivarance is realy well done. Great and catchy chorus. Another standout song! With a fun transition into -Black mountain side, which is a shoter song with no lyrics and something that sounds like bongo’s?? - Communication breakdown, Hype intro and vocals are really rocky (what you expect in rock music), includes a guitar solo, also a little shorter track. - More relaxed with few guitar and vocal ‘shocks’, the guitar is going wild on this track. - How many more times, 8 minute track. Familiar beat, but amazing. Voice is something else around the middle. Great final 3 minutes. Thoughts: Album I didn’t realy expect to realy like, but I did. There were even a few outstanding songs, so overal for a first listen without focusing that much on lyrics it definitely suprised me.
4.5! Great album. Insane for debut.
Amazing album. Not my favourite LZ but I don’t think there is a bad one.
Yup. This wasn’t my generation’s music, nor something my parents exposed me to. Nevertheless it’s been a key influence on my musical tastes for the past 35 years. 4.5 stars
pretty good
It's a classic for a reason.
One of the greatest first albums in history and one of the ones that didn’t lead to a string of albums that were never as good as the first. That’s the only criticism I can give this album is that led zeppelin came out with the second album the same year and just blew this one out of the water. This album still deserves its flowers though, dazed and confused was one of the first metal riffs, babe I’m gonna leave you has entrancing folky verses and a hard rock chorus. In saying that the production is a little hap hazard but was immediately fixed the next album. Not a perfect album but no qualms about anyone putting this as a 5
I liked this a lot more than Physical Graffiti. I could definitely get into this.
Great debut, with a great first side. It kinda falls off into standard blues rock "baby baby baby ohhh woman baby" Robert Plantisms in its worst moments. Which isn't bad, don't get me wrong, but isn't the best Led Zeppelin has to offer.
It's not my cup of tea but it's a fantastically original piece of craft for its time
Great album
Love the Led
i mean what can i say, a literal classic.
Everyone wanted to be a blues band
fav so far
It has been too long since I listened to Led Zeppelin on any album and this has reminded me of how much i love their music. I followed this up with the second album on Vinyl.
This rocks
Surprisingly very blues coded! Loved You shock me and baby i’m gonna leave you were my favorites
I have to start by saying that I really like Led Zeppelin. However I never dove really deep into their works. I feel blessed hearing the creativity in those songs. Overall I would never guess the release date of that album to be'69. I really wonder how this album was greeted like in '69. Already listening to the second song, where the singers voice shines through. What a wonderfull singing voice. I really like the mixture of squeek and grit in his voice. Honestly the song lenth of some of the songs doesnt bother me, as long as I'm listening to the record as a whole. I have to say I love this piece, but how am I going to rate it? If I consider that it came out in 1969 it would easily be a 10/10. But But But since then a lot happened (Creed and Nickelback) so it will be 8,5/10 (4stars)! I'm happy I got Led Zeppelin before any beattles Album. I think the beattles are not good!
Bangerrrr yet another one dad got me into at a young age
It really is ahead of it's time for 1969
Very good, very psychedelic. This album was very interesting and the music was so different and colourful! Favourite song: Dazed and Confused. I like this song anyway but it was nice to see how it flows with the album as a whole
pretty good !
A good album, not really the sort of music I gravitate to, but I can appreciate the style. A single track didn’t really stick out to me, maybe that’s because it’s a well composed album, maybe that’s because they all sound similar, who’s to know
i tried listening to this a few years ago and i never really got into it but like,, ofc it's good... it's more blues-y than i expected. i'm not sure i'll ever listen to these songs on their own but i might sit down and listen to the album from time to time
first album on the list, soooo good even if i’m not that into rock. 🥸
Not my favourite zep but Babe I’m Gonna Leave you and dazed and confused bring it to the next level
Je connaissais que le deuxième titre, le plus connu "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". Je l'avais jamais écouté en sa totalité et j'ai beaucoup aimé l'évolution de la place de l'intensité dans chaque morceau.
Dazed and Confused
An amazing debut by an immeasurably influential band. Still sounds fresh.
Great. What a debut
A very fuck you, you suck, wishing you the worst but also…. Maybe ??
Led Zeppelin debut album....c'mon now. Top tracks: Good Times Bad Times, Communication Breakdown, Your Time is Gonna Come, Dazed and Confused
Not too shabby for a bunch of studio musicians.
As Jack Black once said "Zeppelin's chill...Zeppelin's chill." Favorite Tracks: You Shook Me, Your Time is Gonna Come, Communication Breakdown, How Many More Times...,,,Black Mountain Side
I enjoyed every song on this record, however there are songs on other Zeppelin records that I certainly enjoy more. I'm torn between giving this a 3 or a 4. I think my actual ranking is a 3.5. Given that 3.5 isn't an option though, I'll round that up to a 4. It may not be my favorite, but it is incredibly good for a debut album.
I actually groaned when I saw this was the first album I got. It’s a classic, and maybe because I’m divorced from the context, I sometimes feel like these iconic albums aren’t that great. Then I feel like I’m just being contrarian… which is annoying. Kinda happy to say I enjoyed this one, though. I’m honestly way too young to know Led Zeppelin. My only reference was 13-year-old me getting hyped when their song played in Thor: Ragnarok. On the album itself: I was disappointed by the first track. I thought, "Oh, that’s it?" But then the second track hit, and… wow. That’s when I caught their bluesy vibe and knew I’d like it. "Dazed and Confused" and the vocal style really won me over—I love eccentric vocals, and knowing that would continue made me love the album. So yes, it’s a good album. In fact, a great one. The only frustration is that some songs meander, there’s no reason they needed to be six minutes long.
Listened before?: Only heard “I Can’t Quit You Baby” Favourite song: Your Time Is Gonna Come- makes me feel hopeful for the New Year. Probably the song that aligns most with my music taste, kind of Fleetwood Mac-esque Vibe of album: Dancing alone in a dark dive bar with an all-black outfit on, great road-tripping album, something really sexy about it Other thoughts: Seems really ahead of it’s time, felt like the first song was quite 60s but it got moodier as it went on, prefer the darker 70s vibe to the 60s one
I know the hits but don't much else, no titles off this album rang a bell for me when I started listening. I knew Led Zeppelin was rooted in blues, but wow, I didn't know they started off this bluesy. You Shook Me into Dazed and Confused is textbook blues and their Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf influences are on full showcase here. I Can't Quit You Baby - no idea this was them. I swear I've heard another version/cover of this before though?
The less Harry Potter shit this band gets into the better. Good album.
This is one of the most acclaimed debut albums in history and I can hear why. The talents of all four Zeppelin members are there and making a great effort on hits such as Good Times Bad Times and Dazed and Confused. Yet while I find this to be generally good, their later stuff shines far brighter for me. Maybe bluesy Zeppelin is less my thing though they do it better on other records, but here, it’s a big influence. I’m not too crazy on You Shook Me or I Can’t Quit You here though they offer good opportunities to hear great soloing. The closer, while having a kick-ass riff, goes too all over the place. Maybe my problem is with how rushed the sequencing feels, I don’t know. The real highlights are HIGHLIGHTS however. Good Times and Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You are classics. Dazed And Confused is probably my favorite track. Your Time Is Gonna Come, Communication Breakdown: great stuff. But compared to the other record in the quad set, I don’t resonate with it as much. All it is is a fitting introduction to one of the greatest bands to ever do it and that’s enough. By II, the world was theirs for the taking (8/10, 4/5 on this scale)
Great album, what a great band. Listening to it in the context of the rest of this stuff really underlines how outstanding they were, and I was particularly struck by Robert Plant's vocals. Unbelievable.
Loved it! Surprising as I thought Led Zeppelin was more hard core rock, but a lot of the songs on this album were easier listening
good times bad times - looooved the guiter so much in the background and then they hit me with 2 guitar riffs and i start ascending from my seat. highkey wish it was longer. 9/10 babe im gonna leave you - the way this song started calmer than the previous one you'd think we'd keep that vibe until we get the drum parts but they start hitting the drums and you get out of that daze - going along with how the lyrics are talking about theyre leaving their partner. getting out of a relationship is kind of like the calm before the storm in this context. 7.5/10. really loved the drums!! you shook me - this song is slower than the other 2 and somehow feels different but its really not ? idk how to explain it maybe its the harmonica ? but this song feels like the one theyd play tuesday night at a bar and you're on a date and its going well . love the play on how hes been singing about a bird at the beginning of the song and then he makes bird noises during the end as if to emphasize that hes the bird all along ? idk i might be pulling shit out of my ass. 6 or 7 /10 depends on my mood dazed and confused - listening to the other 3 songs and then getting into dazed and confused is perfect especially for the "dazed" part. the person in the lyrics is pushing the singer away and giving the cold shoulder treatment right after "shaking him" and then him thinking he might leave them for good, and that really emphasizes the daziness and confusion. really loving 3:40-5:00 part !!! 7/10 your time is gonna come - hearing wedding/chruch bells at the beginning of the song you'd think your time really is coming ; either you're dying or you were thinking of a wedding and how you were gonna marry this person and end your life with them until it hits you with "lying, cheating" and that hits you like a truck out of nowhere because you dont know what to do now unless you end it no matter what. repeating the same sentence at the end really captures the unforgiveness and emphasizing of his own feelings that no matter what he'd hate this person because of their betrayal. 8/10 black mountain side - absolutely LOVED the transition !!! came out of nowhere but i liked it. feels like an interlude i might be wrong tho. communication breakdown - like the beat a lot. feels like something id play while getting ready in the morning (added it to the playlist) might feel like a simple song because its short but imo thats how it feels like having a communication breakdown; you have a lot to say and dont know how to get the words out and it gets very frustrating especially during an argument and that makes the other party not exactly get what youre trying to portray. 8/10 i can't quit you baby - not being able to quit the person you love the most even after they keep breaking your bond, trust, love and heart has got to be the worst feeling ever. melody for this song gives me same vibe of tuesday night bar date. 6.5/10 how many more times - funny how after saying their time is coming and how theyre never forgiving them now theyre trying to win them back by giving treats or anything they want. then the beat drops and it looks like he's the one who cant the resist the cheating now ? lowkey liked the first part of the song more not really vibing with the second half rn. beat drops again (kinda) and then hes back to saying he wants her to come back ooo ok thats interesting. i like that a lot as an album outro tho very clever its like how even tho hes still mad hes very conflict and still dazed and confused over his own feelings. 7/10 => a very short album but it feels like you've gone through the 5 stages grief with him upon finding out the person you've loved the most betrayed you and that is portrayed in a very raw and beautiful way i liked how i am also left in a daziness and conflicted state of mind.
Um gênero musical muito distinto dos quais eu estou acostumado a ouvir. A experiência de ter ouvido foi muito legal.

Blues rock with a side of plagiarism. Still hits in parts.
Probably second favourite led zep
Great debut from an all-time classic band. But they got even better over the next few albums, so I'll go with 4 for this one.
Not a very consistent album but great nonetheless. It felt like they didn’t have enough ideas for a fully featured release, so some part are just kind of random. That transition from Your Time Is Gonna Come to Black Mountain Side sounds goofy, and that thing they did a couple of time when the guitar was trying to replicate the vocalist’s moans, and many more. That being said, the good ideas on this album are fantastic. There are a bunch of great riffs, and the drumming is incredible. Very energetic and catchy album. The vocals were a hit or miss for me. He’s way too obsessed with the word baby/babe on this album specifically, for some reason, and that gets pretty annoying. The choruses are great, though. Still, this is easily a top 3 Led Zeppelin album for me, maybe even my favorite.
Get me a motorcycle.
This one is pretty bluesy, but it has some rocking moments as well. I enjoyed it a lot but it's still not the best by them. However, it's pretty hard not to enioy something when Robert Plant sings.
dazed and confused 💯💯💯
Brilliant album. Whole thing is a bop. Helluva debut album, damn. Revisiting it has been a joy.
The first glimpse of this band capacity. A sound that is robust, solid and powerful. With carisma and a British flavour has some mark here that make this band unique.
I said in my Physical Graffiti review that there were at least 3 top tier Zeppelin albums and this is definitely one of them. LZ1 is so punchy and straightforward, yet it still displays the genius of the band. This is one of the best rock debuts in the history of the genre. While it’s a masterclass in blues and hard rock, I think it just barely misses the mark due to some awkward pacing and transitions.
Some absolute bangers, but there are a couple tracks I could do without. Overall an amazing debut album. Favorite track: Good Times Bad Times
Great vibes. Chill. Classic for a reason
When I started listening, I mainly intended to listen to new music and artists I had never heard of. Now I see a new benefit. I finally get to listen to some of the greats that I had previously not bothered to do a deep dive into. Nice blues feel and objectively an incredible first album by any band.
What can you say, the start of the next wave of rock and a view into what they’ll do going forward. Not perfect but they get there
Really solid, 4th best zeppelin
It's fine. Classic old-school rock. As a youth, I didn't like Zepp because everyone loved them. Contrarian from birth! Over time, as I heard more of the non-radio cuts, I grew to appreciate them for their musicianship. I still don't ever pursue Zepp songs/albums, but I don't just turn them off either. Obviously, the classic singles are good, but most of the rest are good too. I think it's a shame they ended this with "How Many More Times" because it's the weakest track on the album. Sort of a let-down. The musicians are really great. They took chances and experimented which really changed the original blues they were based on. It's a quality album that I won't try to listen to again, but probably will hear most of the songs again. I'm giving it a 4 because while it is quite good and obviously influential, it doesn't quite stir my soul and R Plant says Baby a bit too much.
You know, I had rock lobster saved in my library already and I have no idea why. Added 52 girls as well. I hadn’t really thought of them as new wave because I’ve mostly listened to British new wave, but I might’ve saved rock lobster off of a new wave playlist
This isn't the best Zeppelin album(that's IV all the way), but it's still an early Zeppelin album. And early Zeppelin albums are always full of excellent hard rock songs. The musicianship is undeniably excellent, and it sounds pretty much exactly like you'd expect from Zeppelin, with gargantuan guitar riffs, thunderous drumming, and high-pitched rockstar vocals. Unfortunately, this loses points for plagiarism. It's still an excellent album, despite having some flaws.
Classic

Loved the voice.
Album from which I discovered Zepp in my adolescense. Feels like a blueprint of everything that will come later. The bass from dazed and confused will forever live.
Unique gritty sound
f'n rocks!
Great rocking
