Reviews (page 8 of 15)
Every track outstanding
Really enjoyed this one as I was working outside, and will listen to it again. Intricate orchestrations, throbbing blues bass lines, screaming guitars, soaring vocals, what's not to like.
surprisingly mid. a lot of the songs blended together until “stairway to heaven”. which, granted, is a really good song. will relisten at some point because i got a lot of hate from friends with my take on this album. 2/5 for now.
Fun listen! Great instrumentals and good vocal work. 'Stairway to Heaven' is my fave and and all time classic.
Album phare. Pas de faiblesse, même Black Dog... Pour satisfaire Guillaume ils auraient pu intervertir la première et la dernière chanson: débuter par Rock and Roll et terminer par Black Dog.
good, but not quite there. most of the songs were all timers, but a couple were forgettable
J - 5/5 Best Track - "Stairway To Heaven" F - 2/5
Un plaisir de redécouvrir cet album. Tellement un beau mix de blues, hardcore rock, psychédélique. Et je réalise à quel point Jimmy Page est un génie du riff (et de la guitare 12 cordes)
Gros rock classique! Black dog c’est la pire. C’est quoi l’idée de commencer l’album avec ça?! Stairway to heaven classique mais on est saturé. Highlight: when the levee breaks et Four Sticks. Hot take mais j’aime pas la voix de robert plant!
Led Zeppelin's masterpiece, so many good songs.
Classic. One of my favorite albums.
Some great Zeppelin songs appear on this album. Sound great together, much better than individually on the radio
Timeless
Timeless masterpiece
we need more popular music about hobbits
it was good!
Smack in the middle of a legendary six album run
Fucking hell… That’s life changing stuff
OVERALL: This is going to be my third 5 in a row. So many riffs, most of which are simple but are all incredible. Everything is either a great rock banger or a great acoustic song (The Battle of Evermore is also just kinda there). Insanely good guitars, great atmosphere. Stairway to Heaven and When The Levee Breaks are both incredible classics, and for good reason. It's really hard to argue for this being anything lower than a 5, and I also don't want to write a lot so just read the song reviews below. SONG AVG: 9.025 PERSONAL RATING: 9/10 Black Dog: This would have been a perfect song if the vocals weren't like that. The vocals are good, but I don't think they fit all that well. Other than that, phenomenal intro, incredible riff, incredible song. 9.95/10 Rock And Roll: Banger. A bit more like the blues rather than rock and roll, but still great regardless. Fun, although not the most musically interesting. 9.75/10 The Battle of Evermore: Great vocals, but I don't think that a mandolin should've been used. Pretty big tone shift from Rock And Roll. I feel like the lyrics are a bit corny, but I can't really hear them well when I'm just listening casually. It sounds good, but I feel like it could've been much better if they used a guitar instead of a mandolin. 7.75/10 Stairway to Heaven: Come on. It's their biggest song for a reason. Probably the most iconic guitar riff of all time. Anything I could say about it has already been said. 10/10 Misty Mountain Hop: Such a simple riff, but it goes so hard. Nice drumming as well. Very catchy, but I feel like it goes on for a bit too long. 9.25/10 Four Sticks: This feels like what someone who only knows the idea of Radiohead thinks a Radiohead song sounds like. Pretty good, but it feels like it kinda drags on. Reminds me of a Can song, but significantly less interesting with slightly worse vocals. 7.5/10 Going to California: Boring. When I'm listening to Led Zeppelin, I'm not expecting something like this. With that being said, this is a great acoustic song. It's just surprisingly forgettable. 8/10 When the Levee Breaks: Shortest 7 minutes of my life. Less recognized than Stairway, but equally as acclaimed. Great dark and hypnotic atmosphere, such a great outro that is great at defining the album. 10/10
me está gustando mucho la vibra tejana, me recuerda a una travesía por la montaña perdidos en la quinta, cuando alguien dice de pillar un atajo; el cual termina en falso botellon y mamada . uf starway to heaven mi canción favorita sin duda. es perfecta
Muy bueno
First Led Zep to turn up on the list. Always good to get an album already owned. Brilliant openers and for me the last great Led Zep album.
1 extra star for levee
Perfect
Everything about this album is amazing, Great mix of hard rock and then a folksy element with the mandolin driven songs. The vocals are amazing, love the sound of the drums and then some of the most iconic guitar riffs. A band at the peak of their powers.
One of the most iconic rock albums of all time, might not even be in my top 3 Zeppelin albums which shows how consistently great their catalogue is, nearly everything on here is a classic
Black Dog - 5/5 Rock And Roll - 5/5 The Battle of Evermore - 4/5 Stairway to Heaven - 5/5 Misty Mountain Hop - 4/5 Four Sticks - 4/5 Going to california - 4,5/5 When the levee breaks - 5/5
Similar to III, some of the greatest guys to ever do it and they do it well here
Who’s this ?Untitled? Probably sucks. Four Sticks is clearly the breakout single.
Perfection
14/05/2025 I'm surprised I've never listened to this before but I actually enjoyed it.
Great songs, good variety. Good times.
A classic. The LOTR of Albums.
Heard it countless times, each time is an absolute treat. One of the greatest hard rock albums ever.
Radio play killed the magic of Led Zeppelin here. It's folky in parts yet maintains the hard rock and blues rock style. Overall: 4/10
Ok this is one Ive owned for many, many, many years and play regularlyIt's heavy, mystical, bluesy, and timeless. Like most people I bought the album on the strength of Stairway To Heaven, but black dog, when the levee breaks and misty mountain hop kept me playing it over and over. This is not denigrate the other tracks, I defy anyone to say one of them isn't a banger. Couldn't recommend this enough. A must own.
Stairway is great and everyone needs to accept that, despite that some of this album is meandering and directionless, 3.5*
Of course
pretty decent. high 3/5
My ninth album since starting this. The first one to get five stars. As I rock out to this gem for the umpteenth time. There is not much to say or break down, I'm just going to listen and let my ears be happy.
Masterpeice.
This has always been my favorite Zeppelin album, and it totally holds up. I think it's my ideal blend of folk and rock elements while maintaining an identity that doesn't feel derivative.
mi tocca
The same ass problem with every led zeppelin, I think his singing might be more annoying on some of the songs on here. But the highs are sSOO good. that it could be the best one I've heard. The guitars and instrumentals are amazing, solos and riffs. But the screechy annoying singing ruins probably about half the songs here. He has a much better singing voice when he doesn't shriek (going to California intro). The more organic/acoustic instrumentation is really good and adds some variety. When people say stairway to heaven is the best song ever, I can't really complain, as it ticks all the boxes. Going to California is by FAR my favourite Led Zeppelin song. Favourite songs: Stairway to heaven, going to California, when the levee breaks. Better than II & III & Houses of the holy, but not by very much, they are all quite similar imo. Overall around 7/10
I can see why this is considered THE classic rock album. Deserved of the praise, this thing fucks
Going to California and When the Levee Breaks are two all-time faves.
UFFFFFFFFF EL INICIOOOOOO ROCK. gran descubrimiento
What hasn't been said? They're beat studio album.
easiest 1 ever. one of the worst vocalists ever, with some godawful fucking lyrics. i wish they ditched that shit and made the band instrumental
This is Led Zeppelin at their finest. This album is banger after banger without letting up. Despite never listening to this album before, I know every track because they're all classics and standard for any halfway decent classic rock radio station. "Stairway to Heaven" is, well, is THE classic rock song, but even without this song, the album is amazing. I don't know what I can add that others haven't, but I'll say some things anyway. The drumming and guitar are just so, so perfect in every song. Robert Plant's vocals can be abrasive and mesmerizing at the same time. Every song is placed well and adds to the rise and fall of the album, leading to such a satisfying listen. The lyrics are well done--just enough to grab interest without being overbearing, like in "Going to California," or contain catchy hooks, like in "Misty Mountain Hop." I wouldn't change a damn thing about this album.
This. In a sea of amazing albums from Led Zeppelin, this one, Led Zeppelin IV, is their magnum opus. "Stairway to Heaven" is not my favorite Led Zeppelin song, but I'd be remiss not to mention this song. It's a masterwork of a song that tips the scales on this already stacked album. This song builds and progresses expertly from a musical, lyrical, and vocal standpoint. It creates mystery and intrigue, it tells a story, it climbs upward, and it unleashes. It does all of this while dabbling across multiple genres, refusing to be pinned into any one box. It really is a stellar song. The important thing is that the rest of the album really lives up to "Stairway", though. Each song is epic, creative, and unique in its own right. While they may not be 8 minute long epics, these other tracks really do stand out, as well. This album doesn't just rest on its laurels, though it could. Every listen, across every year, across the passing decades, is a reminder of why this album really is a no-skip masterpiece. It's just one of the greatest albums that has and ever will exist, and that's saying something when your basis of comparison starts at "every other outstanding Led Zeppelin album".
This album fucks so hard it's not even fair. It's so dank, hobbits want to smoke it. It's so good, their Greatest Hits is just this album played twice.
10/10, Obviously awesome album.
This is the album that won me over after years and years of resistance. I was a firm believer that if you liked The Doors, you didn’t like Led Zeppelin. It went the same the other way. It’s what I saw around me in my musical journey with friends. There was no in between from what I saw. I have since learned that there is enough room in the musical landscape for both bands and many more. This is a pretty much flawless album by them. I mean, the first 4 of 5 songs are top hits. That’s not a greatest hits album people. That was just a band putting out their next effort. The only flaw is The Battle of Evermore. Waaaaayyyy too hippy sounding. It’s probably the Joni Mitchell voice in the song. I don’t stand for that peace and love voice nor the shit. War and hate is my realm. Ok anyways. Good album. It’s timeless as in it will be on a top list from here to eternity. Write that down. Choice cut: Going to California
Godly
Stairway to Heaven sits alongside Freebird, Hotel California and Shine On You Crazy Diamond on my inverted Mount Rushmore of music. Really do not need a 6 minute song about a battle from Lord of the Rings in my life too. I did find myself humming along to one song and thinking this is really good. But it turns out the album had ended and Spotify was automatically playing George Harrison's Wah Wah.
Awesome
Probably their best Better than the rest Don't say it in jest
Editing this from a 4 to a 5, because this album is, obviously, a 5. I'm not massive on Led Zeppelin, mainly because I don't really like Robert Plant's voice, but this album undeniably has a higher density of quality than 99.9% of other albums.
Fuck Zeppelin. Overrated bunch of theives. I used to say Misty Mountain Hop is the worst song ever recorded, but this whole album is filled with songs that are equally as bad. If you're gonna rip off other bands, pick better songs.
Сложная группа в моем сознании. Вот чесслово, просто окэй. Лучшая песня - Stairway to Heaven.
Hard to argue this should be anything but a 5. I won't waste my time justifying. Go live your life
I have a few problems with Jimmy Page. Having a child as a girlfriend might have been overlooked in the 70s but it leaves a weird taste in the mouth now when listening to his music. He looks exactly like Geert Wilders, which isn't anyone's fault, but is a bit disconcerting. I also don't love him as a guitarist or producer. I know that he was very talented, and in the context of the time was doing great things, but Zeppelin's sound is small, tinny and underwhelming to me, and a lot of Page's guitar work just sounds sloppy. Hendrix, Deep Purple etc predate this and managed to have none of these problems, so it isn't a technological limitation. And so this album. As with all of their music, I feel it would have sounded vastly better if it were recorded a decade or two later, with a fuller, more epic rock sound. I much prefer the Kennedy Center live version of Stairway for this reason. It sounds like what the song should have been. There are obviously classic songs on here. Stairway, naturally, is one of the best rock songs of all time, even if it was plagiarised to some extent. Levee is brilliant, Black Dog is brilliant. I appreciate the Tolkien nerdery. I don't understand why this is seen as one of the best albums of all time, though. There's a fair amount of folky filler on here too, that is less effectively integrated into the overall than it was in Led Zeppelin 3. I don't hate it, I just also don't get the hype. Yes, it's bluesy, folky rock, and that's good stuff. Zeppelin's sound just doesn't do that much for me, ultimately, and their album tracks can verge into annoying territory, if anything.
It’s Zeppelin IV, it’s rock solid. It’s tricky trying to give this a score because about half the songs on this album are absolutely five star, but if I’m being honest the other half just miss out of reaching that. It’s still incredible though, and maybe I’ve become a little burned out by listening to Zeppelin a ton when I was younger, but yeah, you know this is good.
I read this article once (I want to say it was penned by Chuck Klosterman, but AI was no help in confirming) in which a bunch of straight dudes were asked, "if you had to sleep with another dude, who would it be?" The overwhelming response was Robert Plant. I'm telling you this because I feel compelled to write something interesting about Led Zep that hasn't already been said a gazillion times. They're the greatest rock n roll band of all time. Anyone who doesn't give this album 5 stars is an edgelord, a pearl clutcher, or one of those dudes I just mentioned who isn't ready to to confront their feelings about Robert Plant.
Timeless
Gutes Album mit dem Titel für die Ewigkeit, „Stairway to Haven“. Dieser gibt auch dem Album seinen vollen Glanz.
Iconic rock album
Oh, the greatest album of all time also made this list? Shocker...
Yeah this is a classic I love the mysticism of this album 5/5
Round four. I'd rather let a different round inside my head tbh. Even my irl friend that decided to do 1001 quit after he got his second Led Zeppelin album. It most likely wasn't the reason, but I'd still like to believe it was Stairway to Heaven gets a pass tho
One good song. Rough reality but I speak it like I see it
Ottimo album, un rock aggressivo. Poi l'intro di black dog mi gasa un botto.
Magic, mysterious, innovative, original, to-the-point, clever and perfect. 8 superb tracks and no tittle needed
Not bad
As always, Led Zeppelin IV is $$$$$.
I mean it's a classic.
3.5 - Classic Rock
From the hills of the misty mountains to the Mississippi delta, this album rips. I was traveling and didn’t have time for a lengthy review but I wanted to pop back in and make it clear that this may be the best rock album of all time and maybe is my favorite ever. The big 4 get all the love but evermore, misty mountain, four sticks and especially going to California are fucking awesome. Ok back out.
Dear Gabriella, I'm sorry I blasted Misty Mountain Hop and Four Sticks in the car on prom night instead of asking if you were excited for the evening but John Bonham's drumming seemed more interesting than the way you had done your hair.
1. Banger 2. Keep your foot on the motherfucking pedal baby. That long screech followed by that nifty lick *chef's kiss* Also, the bombast of the drums in this album so far is peak 3. slow it down, haunting duet vocals, mandolins aplenty, and we're talking LOTR; I feel like I've been transported to Middle Earth, stop I can only get so erect 4. Are you kidding me?? What?? This? This ... masterpiece? The slow build from the ethereal to the hot and heavy? Mama Mia, we got a spicy meatball here. 5. how about a little jaunt to take the edge off. And god damn, those drums 6. Driven by the rollicking main lick, I think its underrated 7. A little reprieve before the big finale; still has some edge though 8. that harmonica haunts my dreams and nightmares. Truly one of the greatest rock n roll albums of all time 0/5
I think I liked this more than the last led zeppelin. Could maybe bump to a 4 with more listening
Sure it was grand, was fun listening back and found I enjoyed when the levee breaks more than I did a couple years ago, however I was already familiar with the album and wasn't as excited by it as previous ones.
Obviously biased opinion but this is my absolute fav album by them and will continue to be on of the best for rock of all time
Classic goat
This is an easy 5 stars for me! Favourite tracks: Battle of Evermore, Going to California, When the Levee Breaks
Can’t argue it is the Led Zep album, every track is strong the sound of a band at the absolute top of their game, even stairway to heaven!
Absolute classic. My favorite Led Zeppelin by a lot, Stairway will never be overplayed and When The Levee Breaks is my fav song in their catalogue, and one of my favorite of all time.
C'mon

Classic
Side A nearly perfect, didn’t care too much for battle of evermore for some reason. Side B was cool with one too many blues but still great. A monument of rock.
Don’t need to say much about this. All killer, no filler, one of the many 5-star Zep records. I skip Stairway most of the time, but that’s just a personal preference (denied!). Damn, trying to find something nit-picky to say about this record, but I’m coming up with nothing.
This might be a hot take but Led Zeppelin,,,,, is pretty good. I loved every bit of even the most self-indulgent noodling bits. Also this is my first time listening to IV all the way through despite being raised on Zep, and my god is putting Stairway right after The Battle of Evermore a CHOICE
What else to say that hasn't been said. I can't officially name a "favorite album of all time" because it's constantly changing - but this album is always in that discussion.
Listened to the original vinyl, CD and remastered CD of this hard rocking classic. Definitely benefits from the big bass and fuzzy sound of the big home stereo. Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven and Going to California never get old, even though I've heard them a million times. Just a great album.
It was ok
May be the finest side A in rock history
The best Led Zeppelin album and the third best Sandy Denny album.
A good album, some classic hits, but every now and then there'd be a song I just wanted to skip
My dad never listened to led zeppelin. Hated Robert plants voice. The bloody weirdo (my dad, not Robert Plant). Meant I had to discover them on my own later, meant I missed out on a lot of references and jokes over the years and later on spent a lot of time going "oh... Stairway, I see". They're quite good aren't they. Even if I'm heavily expecting all the allegations to be confirmed (those that haven't already) the second they all die and even if they ripped off 75% of all their riffs. This one is especially good.
GREAT! Always on deck
After getting Led Zeppelin's debut as album #28 on my journey, I got to skip to their fourth album today. This is a real treat because I consider IV the peak of their blues-influenced hard rock songcraft. Every song on this album is as enjoyable as when I first heard them. From the opening bouncing riffs and Robert Plant's wails on "Black Dog", to the updated blues standard of "Rock and Roll", to the fantasy narrative duet between Plant and Sandy Denny on "The Battle of Evermore", to the eight-minute epic that is "Stairway to Heaven", to the electric piano riff of "Misty Mountain Hop", to John Bonham's complex drumming pattern on "Four Sticks", to the serene acoustic ballad "Going to California" as a neat tribute to Joni Mitchell, culminating in the otherworldly stomp that is their cover of Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy's "When the Levee Breaks". Not a single moment felt wasted here, as everyone in the group gave an outstanding performance, elevated by top-notch production from Jimmy Page. There's not much else I need to say here. Led Zeppelin IV set a high standard for later hard rock acts to follow.
A Detroit station used to play Stairway to Heaven every night at midnight and thy is pretty much the perfect time to listen to it.
I’m not the biggest Led Zeppelin fan but I enjoyed this way more than I was expecting. Smooth listen to have in the background. Banger after banger. Could not end on a better note, I love When the Levee Breaks.
The best LZ album probably
I think it’s hard to argue with the absolutely insane amount of success that this album has enjoyed over the last four and a half decades. There’s more recognizable songs to the general public on this record than not, by a wide margin, and that alone I think is incredibly rate. I have to admit that I prefer earlier Led Zeppelin albums, just as a matter of subjective personal taste. I also think that I listened to this album far too many times in my early teen years, and I’m almost suffering from some sort of self inflicted Led Zeppelin fatigue. Objectively there’s not a bad song on this record, every choice feels like the correct one, and musically it’s pretty incredible. This record has been so unbelievably influential on not just rock music, but heavy metal, blues, and just about any other genre of music that utilizes distorted electric guitars or wailing bluesy rock vocals. I have to single out my favourite track on this album, “Going to California”. It’s such a beautiful piece of acoustic music, and everything about it is just perfect. I enjoyed revisiting this record quite a bit, but I don’t think it’ll be back in my regular rotation anytime soon. 4*
If you had asked me before embarking on this project how I’d rate this album and Led Zeppelin in general, I’d probably have said a strong 3 ⭐️ to middling 4 ⭐️ and have said something about how it’s got some good songs and the musicianship is good, but it’s overplayed, overhyped, and maybe something about them being plagiarists. This project has shown me the true depth, breadth and scope of all the truly bad and, what’s more, simply forgettable music that exists in the world and has allowed me to listen to Led Zeppelin with somewhat fresh ears. When I do, it’s evident that the songs on this record are so incredibly popular because they are just that good. The allegations of plagiarism that are often lodged against LZ I think are contradicted by their massive success in their time and their staying power 50+ years later. They were heavily inspired by blues music, yes, as many artists at the time were. On some songs this is a more direct and obvious inspiration, like “When the Levee Breaks”, but they still manage to form it into a sound that is very much their own and unlike anything else that was going on at the time. It is bluesy and heavy and medieval and harmonic and anthemic and loud and just… unmistakably Led Zeppelin. Could they have done more to recognize the blues artists they were inspired by and share some of the obscene wealth and stardom they accumulated? Yeah, they could have and probably should’ve. But I do not think they were plagiarists, and them being bad people in other respects is pretty thoroughly documented anyway. So. In other news I appreciate that they have done more PR for the mandolin in popular music than almost any other group/musician in recent times. It’s really hard to single out favorite tracks from an album with only eight tracks when 6 of them are as absolutely massive of songs as “Black Dog” or “Stairway to Heaven”… but if I had to choose, I really just love “Stairway to Heaven”. The multi-part composition gets me every time. Their reinvention of “When the Levee Breaks” is a close second for me, and “Black Dog” and “Rock and Roll” are of an equal tier not far below. Deductions to “Battle of Evermore” and “Misty Mountain Hop” for being about nerdy LOTR shit (just kidding, but not really. Sort of.) Of all the categorically classic “classic rock” bands, Led Zeppelin has always been among my favorites, and I’m glad this project has renewed my appreciation for their music to some extent. ‘IV’ gets a resounding hell yeah 🤘 from me.
I liked it. There are some classics in here that I already had in my playlist. I need to go back and listen again
It's Zep IV. So it gets 4/5.
One of the all time greats. 5 stars just for Stairway to Heaven. This was one of those albums that introduced me to a new (to me) genre of music at a young age. Should be required listening for everyone.
A classic. Particularly enjoyed the battle for evermore this go around. When the Levee Breaks has gotta be my favorite. I love the grungy groove of that song..
Great album
I didn't even realize how ingrained in my brain this album is. I sank into it like it was the old couch I grew up on. The flow and feel of this is something that is rare nowadays I feel like, and I miss it a lot. 5/5, no doubt.
This album is threaded so deeply throughout my entire life that it's challenging to try to listen to it with fresh ears. I find myself examining it through the lens of sound engineering and songwriting. Bonzo's brass sounds amazing and I hate the rest of his kit. The snare is thin and the toms are tuned cardboard. The instrumentation throughout is impressively varied, well recorded and mixed. The songs are dynamic, interesting in form, and well crafted. Hooks abound and I really like the use of dissonance that I never zeroed in on before this listen. I also really like the layering of the instruments. Sooo much going on in every song but they don't seem to trip over one another or get in each other's way. Kudos to the band for their choices and to the engineers for keeping things clean. Most songs feel longer than they are, which I think is because there is so much going on. Not a typical fourth album by any means. Most bands run out of ideas by their second album. Zep definitely flexes in a lot of dimensions on this album.
8/10
Brilliant album containing arguably the greatest song of all time
A timeless classic, even if it’s not their best and sort of at the back-end of their greatness. There’s so much depth to this album with an incredibly stunning finale.
First Listen - Only know 'Stairway to Heaven' I generally like Rock/Folk music. This is no different, easy enough to listen to. Not so much a fan of the first 3 songs felt like they had no structure and were just noise. . . 'When the Levee Breaks' is an amazing song.
I remember this album from my childhood very well. Almost all of the songs are bangers
Great listen!
100 down, four stars

Stairway to heaven alone is worth the review
the song remains the same - but time is going by - I cannot listen to it like 30 years ago, but its still excellent
Wow, absolutely timeless, magical, legendary.
Iconic album that is near perfect end to end. When the Levee Breaks is possibly my favorite LZ song ever, and for someone looking to get in to Zeppelin this is an easy one to step into.
One of the iconic best
Liked this one better than LZII. Had a nice funk to it. 8/10. Again I'm not too into the metal genre yet cause I'm just getting into it but this wasn't hard to listen to so I think it's a win.
All time classic. All time fave.
Yep 🫡 - love it.
I worshipped this record when I was a teenager. There was a period where I thought “Stairway to Heaven” was the most beautiful song ever, and I’d listen on headphones to ease myself to sleep. So, does it hold up to my personal and general cultural lore? Goddamn right it does! Every track is a standout. Zep is undefeated, this remains a 5.
5 5 5 5 5
Sometimes it is hard for me to listen to albums that you know you’ve heard a million times. However, after actually sitting down and giving this one it’s proper attention it makes so much sense why it is as ubiquitous as it is. Great great great. Love the middle of the album the most. Four Sticks is the only song I wasn’t too fond of.
Great album, highly recommend.
So many classics, definitely worthy of this list. A number of tracks I had never heard before that could def pass off as good rock music in 2025.
11/10
Good Rock and Roll.
Os reis definitivos do Rock!
Mind blowing. My fourth favorite Zeppelin album. Mind blowing. “No one ever compared us to Black Sabbath after this record.” JP
Amazing and flawless.
Absolute classic of a banger album.
Of course, it’s seminal. I never noticed how expertly produced it is. Still, When the Levee Breaks …
Solid start to finish
Zeppelin, man!
my mom loves them so much don't know how i've never checked them out until this point (i actually listened to lz3 and completely forgot whoops) my mom knows ball her taste is so good stairway to heaven is only 8 minutes? swear to god old people act like stairway to heaven is the longest song ever, wait til they discover swans
Zeppelin IV is packed with classics and it's probably my favorite of their albums. Of course there's Stairway to Heaven which is a masterpiece but we can't forget Black Dog, Rock and Roll, and When the Levee Breaks. The balance between the melodic rock and smooth guitar solos is delightful.
I like led zeppelin but don’t you guys think John bonham looks dirty
FUCK YEAHHHHH LED ZEPPELIN GET THE FUCNING LEDDDDD OUTTT WOOOOO BONZOOIII HOW GOODS BLAC DOG MANNNNN
YEAAAHHH BABYYY, JOHN BONHAM GOING HAAAAARD BABYYY YEEAAHHHH, BLACK DOG MAKES ME STIFF BABYYYY YEEEAAHHH, MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP ON THE BIKE GOT ME MISTY MOUNTAIN HOPPING UP AND DOWN OOOOOO YEEEAAAHHH AUSTIN 3:16 BABYYYYY YEAAAHHH
Simply one of the greatest albums ever made.
always great
Thats good music!!
This is another album from my childhood that I’ve heard more times than I can count. It’s a classic for so many reasons—whether it’s the sheer number of legendary rock anthems, the musicianship, or the variety of styles packed into one album. You get hard rock and early metal, blues and folk rock, and even a touch of prog, especially on “Stairway to Heaven.”
jó én nem szeretem őket, de ez az album magic az elejétol a végéig.
Great album. After a few listens I added some songs more songs to my liked ones.
Listen to the vinyl all the time, never need to skip songs.
Not all of this works for me but the parts that do are undeniable
Misty Mountain and Four Sticks is an awesome b2b
Fan-freaking-tastic! 5/5
Third Led Zeppelin album to come up for me here and it’s the best so far. Some all-timers on here (including “Stairway to Heaven”).
No hope of objectivity on this one for me, can I listen to it again?
Ive heard all these songs multiple times but it’s nice to hear them in context.
Hmm de første sangene var litt gamle på en dårlig måte, men albumet tar seg opp mot slutten (Going to California likte jeg best etter Stairway to Heaven, men den hadde jeg hørt fra før av).
There are no notes. This album is fantastic. Album Cover: 8/10 Top Songs: When the Levee Breaks <3 Rock and Roll Stairway to Heaven
I enjoyed. I found I like a lot of the songs better in the context of the album. I have heard a lot of the songs by themselves and always thought they were just okay.
Not often all songs are all so memorable even to this day.
Not a fan 😫 I'm so sorry music lovers
Ce n'est pas trop mon style mais Stairway to Heaven est un classique!
Good but somewhat repetitive and few songs not my jam
Third teenage classic in a row! Though my love for Led Zep has diminished over time, there’s no denying the power of their peak album, from the crazy riff of Black Dog through to the cataclysmic drumbeat that anchors When the Levee Breaks.
This has been my least favorite Led Zeppelin listen so far. Still decent; listenable. Just not something I’d choose to put on. Stairway to Heaven is easily my favorite song on this album. The Battle of Evermore was sharp and almost painful. That song alone brings this album down a point for me.
Not much more to say that hasn’t already been said on this one. It’s excellent.
Uh duh.
This is one of those albums that when I listen to it, every song is a joy.
Before: I've been waiting for a Led Zeppelin album. Probably most familiar with this one! Standouts: Stairway to Heaven Going to California Black Dog Weakest tracks: The Battle of Evermore Rock and Roll Standout lyrics: "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. But when she gets there, she knows, if all the stores are closed, with a word, she can get what she came for." - Stairway to Heaven "Made up my mind to make a new start. Going to California with an aching in my heart." - Going to California "Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let 'em tell ya that they're all the same" - Going to California "Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams, tellin' myself it's not as hard as it seems" - Going to California During/after: This is such a classic. Black Dog is a strong, punchy opener with that iconic guitar riff that sets up the tone for the rest of the record well. Rock and Roll is has an interesting quality for me. Still very very good, it's just Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives core and I will not elaborate. I've never heard The Battle of Evermore and I fear it's for good reason. That drawn out "oh" leading into the second half of the track and the ending "bring it" lines are just not executed super well, and the high-pitched strings were annoying to my ear. HOWEVER it leads us right into THE Led Zeppelin classic (you know the one). Stairway to Heaven is so beautiful and such an important rock song. The switch to a more mellow vocal style really shows off the versatility of Robert Plant's voice when juxtaposed with his iconic guttural belting that we see in the earlier tracks. Going to California may be my favorite track because the theme of moving out west and aching to leave always resonates with me. When the Levee Breaks is such a perfect ending (and so sexy, Jesus Christ). Great guitar solos and drums. The harmonica at the beginning made me very happy as well. Also, fun fact but I listen to Greta Van Fleet a decent amount (I know), and people clown on them because of how much they sound like Led Zeppelin. The minute the vocals in Black Dog started up, I immediately thought it was Greta and it took me a minute to be like "oh wait." Obviously this is significantly more original and generally better, but Greta is NOT beating the plagiarism allegations. My boyfriend referred to them as "Great Value Led Zeppelin" and I'm still laughing. Overall, I loved this record! So iconic, important, and prolific for music as a whole. There are a couple of tracks that I don't foresee coming back to often, but man, there's always something great about hearing music that influences so much of the modern music that I have on rotation today. This is totally one that I'll come back to, but there were a few songs that were misses for me (though not egregious by any means - just didn't do it for me). I wonder what my opinion would be if I grew up on Led Zeppelin from my parents too, but I have no nostalgia connected like most people do. Good shit. Easy 4/5.
solide plaat... stairway al net iets te veel gehoord...
one of the better Led Zep records, mainly because of Stairway
Stairway to Heaven remains an absolute classic, the rest of the album didn't quite grab me as much.
I like longer songs
Black Dog and Stairway are highlights Going to California caught me off guard with how much I liked it. Haven't heard it in a long time. Playlist 🗣️
Rock and Roll is incredible and one of my favourite songs by Led Zeppelin. Still, a couple of songs on this album didn't hit the same way and so it gets a slightly lower score than I expected.
A few songs didn't do much for me but there's still some real heat on here. The highs are very high on this one.
I have never really loved this album. I've listened to it more times than I can count and outside of Stairway to Heaven and Going to California, it just really doesn't do it for me. I am a big time Zep I and II guy and think their early stuff kicks ass. I can't in good honesty rate this album above a 7/10
5/5, no notes. Story time: When I had first started dating Elizabeth she came to my dad's for Sunday night dinner (Maryellen was there) and we were sitting around the table post-meal talking, which was kind of a Tipton tradition passed down from my grandparents. Dad was telling us that he had seen a VH-1 thing about the greatest rock n' roll bands of all time and he was going through the list from memory. When he got to #3, he told us - to our shock - that it was Def Leppard. It turned into a big Tipton-style argument, as I am sure you can imagine, with Maryellen and me absolutely incredulous and refusing to believe that what he said was true. Elizabeth was probably simultaneously entertained and looking for a way to politely leave. After at least ten minutes of this - and depending on who is telling the story it was closer to half an hour - Dad somewhat sheepishly said "Oh wait, I think it was actually Led Zeppelin." This story still gets referenced any time anyone in the family says the names Def Leppard or Led Zeppelin.
Stairway to Heaven is one of the first songs I remember falling in love with. This album was one of my introductions to this time period of rock and it is likely the explanation as to how it became a favorite and why I specifically return to it when I am bored of my other favorite genres. This album definitely has my vote as the best Zeppelin album. Favorite Songs: Black Dog / Stairway to Heaven / When the Levee Breaks
I get it. I just don’t have space in my heart for it. 8.9/10 Favorite Song: Stairway to Heaven
9/10 One of if not my fav led album. They’re one of one and have inspired countless iterations of similar artists ever since. Loved returning to this one. Favorite Song: Going to California
I've had my issues with Led Zeppelin, here, doing this project, surprising issues, as I own two of their albums, but you know what, fuck it. I'm past "Battle of Evermore" and at 5:55 of "Stairway to Heaven" now - well, not now, I finished the track first, but that was the moment when: - this is a 5 star album; their boring, sleazy blues rock side be damned.
perfect
Very good, a classic. Has my favourite version of Stairway to Heaven.
It got played three times in a row this morning
Respect
Culturally ubiquitous. Likely the best pure, succinct classic rock record. If you got rid of “Four Sticks” or swapped it out for something a bit more experimental, this is the perfect album. I have no more to say because there is no more to say
another classic from zeppelin. album cuts on this are great, four sticks is a personal favorite
It's weird because I would say I don't particularly like Led Zep, but I keep getting these albums which, individually, I think are generally very good, and merit high scores. This one's up there with the best of them.
Already reviewed this album in a different project. My 5 star rating and review remains the same: “Unmistakable, undeniable! One of the best albums in the world, ever. Simple as that. Any less than 5 stars for this masterpiece is a sacrilege of the utmost.”
When you put aside all the 'greatest ever' nonsense that surrounds both the band and this album, this is a really good record. Yes, I occasionally get a little tired of some of the songs, and Stairway is over-praised and over-played, but when the guitar solo in that song starts, or the first drum hit thunders on When The Levee Breaks, or the Jew's harp opening to the album leads into "Hey Hey Mama" on Black Dog, it can still raise the pulse.
Although not to my personal taste, I cannot fail to give this album a positive review. Led Zeppelin are an iconic legendary band very popular globally so to give it a thumbs down purely based on my own musical preferences would be immature and churlish
What to say? Don’t play Stairway at the guitar shop?
Feel like Zep is the apotheosis of the semi-meandering dinosaur rock shit that I hate. And yet: they're pretty good. I don't get why people LOVE this stuff, but I do recognize that every member of the band is at the top of their game. This thing has so many hits it's hard to believe they all fit on one album. Hate all I want, there's no denying this joint is a masterpiece. A mercifully tight 42 minutes, too.
All timer. Easy 5/5
Solid hard rock sprinkled with fantasy folk here and there, which I wasn't expecting, but I welcomed the change. The only thing I have to criticize is that there is a lack of substance lyrically. While other albums have recognizable themes, concepts, or at least coherent single songs, Led Zeppelin feels more like stringing words together that sing well and roughly make a sentence.
15/16 year old me (1975/76), this must have been the first Led Zep album I listened to with friends of the same ilk. Tastes change over the years and I moved away from this genre. It was good to listen to the full album again and give it the time it deserves to listen to completely back to back. Favourite tracks: The Battle of Evermore. Misty Mountain Hop. When the Levee Breaks. Prefer side 2. This deserves to go in.
really nice! good mix of slower and faster songs/parts
An undeniable classic. These songs have touched your life somehow at some point. Even if you don't like Led Zeppelin (I'm not crazy about them, myself), you've at least enjoyed music that's been influenced by them. Gotta show the respect.
I always find it telling than an album/artist is over rated when the best thing on the album is something I already know. This album is particularly hard to rate as I already was familiar with 6 of the 8 tracks. The two I didn’t know were horrendous. Stairway to Heaven sucks, and you can’t convince me otherwise. The rest was mid at best. Giving this a 2 only because I see some value in Misty Mountain Top.
It’s zeppelin. Should be one. But it’s five. Probably 20. Battle of evermore and misty mountain hop total 15 of those.
I have already written at length about the pros (great musicians, powerful production, swaggering performances, Bonzo's drums) and cons (weak songwriting, ridiculous lyrics, plagiarism, culpable business behaviour, sexual assault, Bonzo's behaviour) of Led Zeppelin, so I will avoid repeating myself. This album contains all the best and worst of Led Zep. How can an album bookended with Black Dog and When the Levee Breaks go too far wrong? I am going to suggest that Stairway To Heaven is, in fact, the weakest song on the record. It is cobbled together out of disjointed sweepings with the world's naffest lyrics. Robert Plant is right to be be embarrassed by this song. It does have an iconically great guitar solo (and typically great playing from Bonzo and JPJ), BUT THIS IS NO EXCUSE. Just because it was played on FM rock radio a hundred billion times does not make it good, just familiar. Ubiquity is not the same as quality (see also: Hotel California). That said, this album also has Sandy Denny and a couple of tunes with mandolin (hi Dave, those tracks are your favourites, aren't they?) and that monster drum beat on Levee. For all their myriad faults, Led Zep are still a band you have to hear. I'm not convinced it is actually their best record, but it's still pretty damn great. It's really hard to make a case that this isn't a five star classic.
Classic classic classic. Play When the Levee Breaks at my funeral
Timless masterpiece.
The album's timeless sound had made it cornerstone of classic rock, displaying the band's creative peak and lasting influence. Highlights include "Stairway to Heaven" a master piece of progressive rock, and the powerful "Black Dog" with its complex riffs, it feels like there's always something new to discover, no matter how many times you listen.
Love parts, think others are way overhyped
I couldn't get into Zeppelin years ago so I've never really given them a chance until now. There's some great songs on this record that I'll be returning to for sure
the most important classic album in music history.
What can be said about this album that hasn’t already been said? It’s fantastic and always takes me back to my youth where this was on the turntable almost permanently.
Incredible album.
5/5. You already know what it is. A classic in every sense of the word. A perfect rock album with a collection of hard rock tracks and even some slower songs to cover the breadth of rock & roll. Led Zeppelin always hits and the skill in each musician is not questioned ever but the songs here are just far above the best written in their catalogue. It truly is amazing that even after I have listened to Led Zeppelin for years, coming back after a while always feels fresh and new. These songs are just timeless. Best Song: Stairway To Heaven, When The Levee Breaks, Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop (Honestly all of them are just perfect)
Nothing I can add to the stellar reviews. Just listen to an indisputable 5 star album.
One of the better classic rock albums but it’s still not my favorite genre. 3.5/5
Great album if you are a zeppelin fan. 4.5
ICONIC.
Led Zeppelin IV is an all time rock classic with brilliant musical performances in every imaginable way which creates an incredibly enjoyable, and varied, listen. The opening track “Black dog” by introduces some of the great things you will experience on the record including catchy lyrics, brilliant guitar work from Jimmy Page & great vocals. This track has a great energy. “Rock and roll” comes through with much of the same greatness. Brilliant solos on both tracks. The almost surreal “The battle of evermore” changes the pace of the album rather than adding another rock and roll track. And this is appreciated on the album. The iconic and profound “Stairway to heaven” is the centrepiece of the album and for good reason. It’s obviously one of the best rock songs ever written with one of the best solos ever, brilliant vocals & lyrics. Side 2 opens with the fun & groovy “misty mountain hop” before going into the mesmerising “four sticks” which features brilliant drumming and vocals in what is a really unique track on the album. “Going to California” is a fantastic acoustic track with a nice relaxing feel. The album ends on the slow burning blues rock banger that is “When the levee breaks”. I feel I can’t speak too much on this album without repeating over and over how brilliant every single performance is. From guitar, vocals, lyrics, bass, drums and even mandolin and harmonica. This is an all time rock masterpiece. And it doesn’t even stick to just one strict genre. All killer, no filler defined. An absolute must listen and one of the albums which defines rock & roll. 5/5.
All bangers, no skips. A lot of people don't care much for Four Sticks, but that driving beat is so fun to me.
Misty Mountain Hop is an overlooked gem.
Good record, classic, remember listening to songs off it in middle school as a really good introduction to that old time rock'n'roll
Very cool standard rock album for sure !! Def can hear it’s a lot of bands influence. Some good songs but a lot are a bit dated sadly
It is a brilliant rock album, an undeniable classic with so much vying for it. I mean it has Stairway to Heaven, one of the most legendary and best songs ever written and composed and other classics like Black Dog. It is era-defining, and so influential to this day with young people like myself still enjoying it 54 years later.
Some of the best music ever made.
Its weird
Meh, Zepelliney
I wore this cassette out in the summer of 86. The first note brought back so many memories.
he kinda right, school is out
Greatest album ever recorded by a band not named the beatles
Classic rock for a reason. Really good music. Particularly enjoyed "Black Dog," "Rock and Roll", "Going to California" and "When the Levee Breaks." And of course, "Stairway to Heaven" is great, especially the guitar work. Plant's vocals are a little hit or miss for my taste, and "The Battle of Evermore," "Misty Mountain Hop" and "Four Sticks" didn't really work for me. Overall, good.
That's more like it ... a real classic.
Me gusta Led Zeppelin entonces it was okey not great
Honestamente no fui fan, tampoco mucho que resaltar Rating:5
Before this relisten I would have probably said that 4 was overrated and Stairway sucks but, definitely not. Goes so hard and even Stairway rocks.
I can appreciate the interest here. But it's just not my shit. Dungeons and Dragons with guitars, innit.
Dread Led Zeppelin. It's the earnestness. All those guitars. The riffs. The ridiculous singing.
Thanks Dad. I miss you.
So great.
The type of album that rewires your brain in the best way possible
Stairway is undoubtedly one of the greatest songs ever written, but there are a couple stinkers on this album. Four Sticks is a terrible song.
Probablemente el disco de LZ con mayor cantidad de temas legendarios. Pasa por todos los matices, desde el sonido rocanrolero más identificatorio de Led Zeppelin en 'Black Dog', la parte más folk en 'The Battle of Evermore' y sus expresiones más lisérgicas en 'Four Sticks'. El panorama general da como resultado un discazo hecho y derecho.
As much as I adore going to california and stairway to heaven, I enjoyed LZ 3 way more than this one
This is a good album, just absolutely packed with hits.
Album six. Time to ruffle a few feathers... I've never understood the widespread reverence for this boring, self-indulgent, self-important wank. The emperor is well and truly stark-bollock naked here. A real chore to listen to, despite some deservedly famous drum production and great guitar sounds. Plant's voice never fails to grate as he wails his way through the least melodically and rhythmically interesting route between two points time after time. One star, awarded purely for the groove Page, Bonham and Jones create amid the pretentious pentatonic rock-blues wankery.
ABSURDO algumas músicas são grandes demais, mas no geral, o álbum é insano!
I have an embarrassing confession. I didn’t hear this album until almost 10 years after its release. I was only familiar with Stairway. Roadtripping to Albion for my first ever cross country meet. My ultra cool classmate, a migrant from Portland, OR, world-wise and profoundly less naive, popped this cassette into his portable boombox and cranked it in the van. Out came the bombast of Black Dog. I did not know what to think. The production quality was lower than stuff I was playing at the time. And it was raw. Unlike any of the highly produced pop rock from REO, Journey, Foreigner, Styx, among others that had been dancing in my ears at that time. But I reveled in it. It was like I was taking my first secret sip of alcohol or first puff of a joint. So wrong, but you couldn’t help that it somehow felt right. It was decadent. Yet, for some unknown reason, I still didn’t delve into their catalog even though I can clearly remember the first time I heard this album. The full Zeppelin came later, beginning in college. After fully embracing Zeppelin, while I enjoy this album, it is not my favorite. A sacrilegious view among rock fans. Even more sacrilegious, Stairway to Heaven probably doesn’t even break into my top 10 Zep songs. The rawness and straightforward rock of Black Dog is still my fave off this album. Even though it is not my favorite, I probably consider this album to be their first truly complete effort. Instead of feeling somewhat disjointed, this is an outstanding piece of work that flows well from beginning to end.
Probably my favorite LZ. Not much I can say that hasn’t been said before… mostly would like to echo that it’s the most fully realized of their self-titled series - feel the most like “Led Zeppelin” out of all of them while still being incredibly tight. There’s not a single inessential song or even moment on this album. In my opinion, it’s the epitome of “1001 albums to listen to before you die”. 8 perfect songs for 43 minutes of perfect music. Even if Stairway to Heaven is slightly overrated. :) I remember listening to these albums for the first time in high school and being absolutely blown away that music from the late 60s - early 70s could sound THIS good. Even with more experience listening to music from this era, I still can’t get over how timeless the production and musical style of this album feels. Probably more of a testament to LZ’s influence on hard rock and metal generally, but all still the same.
Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven, classics
MID ALBUM. (Stairway To Heaven is terrific.)
damn this was some hot shit.... I see why everyone likes this. highlights include: "Black Dog" "Rock and Roll" "Stairway to Heaven" "Going to California" "When the Levee Breaks"
Yeah this albums amazing. I was expecting it to be overrated but it definitely wasn’t. 5 stars
stairway to heaven is probably the first English song that made me learn it's lyrics.
Better than the other two Led Zeppelin albums I've rated already. Not sure why this is, but I enjoyed it. That opening 4 run of songs are absolutely great
Nicht so gut wie III, aber trotzdem geilooo
I just can’t connect with Led Zeppelin. Obviously, it’s all in there: riffs, rocking rhythms, “Stairway to Heaven” etc. Good stuff! Thing is, though, if I’m going to enjoy a load of dudes taking silly things – mythical wars, outre symbology, trees, fairies – way too seriously, they’ve got to be wearing corpse paint. It’s the only way I can handle it. And so I get through this album twice with a smile, enjoy the occasional bop, and get on with finishing dinner. It’s good! They won’t miss my deeper adulation, I’m sure.
Foundational rock guitar album. Easily one of the best albums of all time. The guitar work is top quality. Stand out tracks include stairway to heaven and black dog!
100 stars, no notes, straight up masterpiece. One of my fave albums ever.
Not my first listen
Stairway! I've heard these songs all my life but have never sat and listened to the album, and have never been able to match titles with the tunes even when half-singing along with some of the right words.
While I liked LZ1 better, this is still amazing. Great creativity, solid rock, wild that a few guy can get together and make this sound
I listened to the 2021(?) remaster and I don't remember the original being that fuzzy in the guitars. I mean, it's *pretty* fuzzy. Anyways, you've probably heard this whole album involuntarily, if not beginning to end. It's great! It's also the be-all, end-all for so many when there's so much more out there!
The Zeppelin album I feel like I (we all) know the best. It's got some bangers for sure, but most of those I overplayed before my 12th birthday and now it's hard to focus without them just turning into background noise. Anyways, more solid blues based arena rock here. I know this was groundbreaking for the era it was made but it's hard not to let the effects of history diminish my interest in this band's catalog.
A solid Zeppelin album with one of my alltime favorites ("Going to California"). Not my favorite Zeppelin album because it lacks some of the whimsy of LZIII, but still very fun
Several classics, with Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, and When the Levee Breaks, but there's something to like in just about every song, and there are several genres represented throughout the album (albeit with a rock tinged Led Zeppelin sound) The whole album is good, but Stairway to Heaven is on a whole other level, and almost makes the rest of the songs sound slightly worse in comparison.
One of the best all-around albums ever made. The thing that stands out the most to me about this album is how musically diverse and rich it is. Blues rock, rock n roll, sweeping epics, sweet interludes, and even some pseudo-hip hop driving beat? The rare album that is honestly as good as everyone says it is
One of my fave albums.
Perfection isn't it? I mean for me it isn't Houses of the Holy, but it is bloody great.
Great to really listen to these classic rock tunes with focus, and be reminded of why they endure.
Tracks one and two reminded me of high school and driving in Charlie's canaries yellow mustang. Didn't realize I knew all the songs on this album except one.
ngl, this actually kinda slaps. i wasn’t in the mood for it the other day and i don’t quite enjoy this classic rock sound. but today my mood is absolutely there for it and i am enjoying it a lot 😆 the guitars are absolutely gorgeous sounding. so many layers and it’s beautiful. vocals insane. very nice album tbh!
apart from the wanky rocky bit in stairway to heaven it is not a bad album. Some weak songs, but on the whole ok. I am not going to voluntarily listen to it or buy it but it is still an appreciably strong album 3.5 stars
Doesn't get much better than this. Going to California is probably the biggest highlight in this album followed by how Black Dog and Rock and Roll flow into each other and then Stairway to Heaven.
No notes. All the jams.
A classic. Reminds me of the Chicago station that would “let the Led out” and just play Zeppelin like an hour a day.
Dit wordt eigenlijk een hele kromme rating. Ik vind lang niet elk nummer op dit album even fijn om te luisteren en ik ervaar bijvoorbeeld zo'n Four Sticks als veel te druk, maar het album waar Stairway to Heaven op staat krijgt in de context van deze lijst eigenlijk automatisch een 5. Een gevalletje 'je maakt maar zin!' dus.
A desert island album for me, personally.
Mostly solid songs, dated but still a good collection
I don't want to like this one, but I admit I enjoyed most of it. ‘Misty Mountain Hop' is a fun track. ‘When The Levee Breaks' is maybe their best blues cover, they really bring a lot to it. 'Going to California' is a song that I really dislike.
Goddamnit. I'm so, so sick of the '70s rock on this list, and I have no background or interest in Zep, but this still wowed me. Maybe it's because I've already heard so many of these songs before, so I'm warmed up to them? Or because this wasn't as long or self-indulgent as I had expected? Sigh. Whatever, it's clearly a masterpiece and I'm mad about it!
Not for me. Obviously Stairway to Heaven an all time classic
These songs are so overplayed. You hear them everywhere. I'm so sick of this band.
The only sorta weak song on this one is Four Sticks but Going to California EASILY makes up for that
Oh come on, who doesn’t love this album?! It’s a classic for a reason.
This is THE Led Zeppelin album. Classic.
The BEST
Led Zeppelin's best album, hands down. The pastoral cover artwork with no album title or band name gives the record a mystical feeling, almost like a found relic from some sort of ancient druid society. And of course, the songs are great, too. Every single one of the eight songs on here is among the band's greatest work. A very well-balanced mix of Hard Rock, Folk, Blues, and early Heavy Metal. Even after being overplayed to death, it still resonates. Key tracks: Black Dog Rock and Roll The Battle of Evermore Stairway to Heaven When the Levee Breaks
Classic greatness
Yes
Get the LED out!!!!
Pretty nice album, nothing to standout apart from Stairway to Heaven
Better than I thought. Maybe I like Led Zeppelin?
One of the all-time greatest rock albums 🤘
Another offering full of hits.
Obvious 5. I was interested to recently learn that Sandy Denny is the backup vocalist on Battle of Evermore. So cool.
Some flawless bangers on this album, but probably one of Zep's weakest albums. Rock and Roll has been overplayed and used in too many macho truck commercials for me to care. Stairway to Heaven, pretty lame and boring until the last 90 seconds of the 8+-minute track ...and that's a long time to wait for the good parts! Evermore, lame, cry me a river in middle-earth, Robert. Four Sticks, ugh that dumb repetitive bassline. California, snoozer and Levee, meh. The real gems here are Black Dog and Misty Mountain. I mean, DAMN! Misty, Mountain... ? You are a golden goddesss.
