Led Zeppelin IV

zajebiste troche zapominalam sie wsluchac bo pisalam z alima wiec przydalby sie relisten od razu ale ogl to mega myslalam ze bedzie sraka a nie byla

Some absolute classics on here, there’s no denying that. I connected with IV less than other Led Zeppelin albums though. Still fantastic though obviously.

Okey my first idea of this album is what a classical sounds. Ofcorse i didnt listen any classical rock music so i am newly listner but two songs in the album is amazing. First is stairway to heaven and albums last song when levee breaks amazing i love it

It's probably one of my all-time-fave rock albums that I can listen to from start to finish--classic!

Какие сытные здесь барабаны в последнем треке

An air guitar classic

What we have here is one of the great albums in rock. All eight tracks are good, and then there are songs like Stairway to Heaven and When the Levee Breaks that are outright brilliant. The only reason it’s not a 5 is because hard rock like this isn’t necessarily by bread and butter, and because lyrics at points feel lacking in depth.

Black Dog, Rock and Roll, and Stairway to Heaven are such well-known classics that it's not really hard to see why this album is so beloved. Even outside of those, there are some really good songs here. Misty Mountain Hop and When the Levee Breaks are both fantastic as well. Absolutely an album worth listening to.

I really did not like The Battle of Evermore, other than that it was a pretty damn near perfect album. The instrumentals are otherworldly and the vocals enhance it all the way through. Just can’t give it 5 stars because I shouldn’t dislike a specific song that much from a 5-star album.

Yeah, this is funky and fun as always. I will probably never listen to this again and have already forgotten it but it probably made me look cool as I rolled up to the toll booth this morning, so there's that.

This might be LZ's most legendary album. One of my favorite aspects of LZ continues to be how satisfying the drum/string parts intertwine to create satisfying syncopation and evoke polyrhythmic feeling, like in Black Dog or Misty Mountain top. the Battle of Evermore and Going to California were also highlights for me

How to rate this? Although I've never owned the album, I'm plenty familiar with most (all?) of the tunes esp. on side 1. However, I've only just learned/realized that the singer duetting with Plant on 'Evermore' is the late, great Sandy Denny, who I like quite a bit, esp. from her work with Fairport Convention (speaking of whom: I hope we get one of their albums). And, unlike tracks 1, 2, and 4 (which have been played to death on the radio, over the past 55 years), I've only occasionally heard 'Evermore' - so, for that reason, and because of Sandy Denny, and the mandolin on it, too, it's easier to appreciate that one. The biggest obstacle to me liking LZ, always, has been Robert Plant's voice. I've made my peace with it (more or less), but I still don't love it. And then, deep down, there are still some vestiges of my initial/early dislike, due not only to Plant's voice, but also to hearing LZ on the radio so much, plus maybe some sort of tribal reaction against the (very white and male) tribe of people in middle and high school (and "classic rock" dj's) who were LZ fans (i.e., thinking, subconsciously, that if *they* like it, it's probably not for me). Ok, anyway, to rate this: extra points for mandolins, and Tolkien (?) references, and Sandy Denny. Deductions for Plant's voice, and over-exposure. And -- trying to set aside my longstanding aversion (which I've mostly already discarded) -- 4 stars seems right. Favorite tracks are Evermore, Misty Mountain, and Going to California (note that Evermore and California both feature mandolin). And the last track, Levee, is good, too. So, yeah, a solid 4 stars. Would I have given it 5 stars, if I'd never heard it before? Who can say?! (But I'd still have had to grapple with Plant's singing. ;) )

As discussed in the chat, I like Zeppelin a lot more than I realized before starting this list. That said, this album didn't hit as hard as III did for me. Battle of Evermore was a bit of a bore and I think the novelty of Stairway to Heaven is just so far gone at this point that its appeal isn't as great as it could be. Black Dog, Rock and Roll, and Misty Mountain Hop are all jams tho.

An impact that is lessened by the release of Paranoid, but a certainly solid rock album worth listening through

Took them a while to settle down into their sound prior to this but the result is solid.

A classic album, some big hitters on this album. Surprisingly concise and very re listenable

Is it brilliant, is it overblown wank? At times, it's both.

Much better effort from the lads on this one, well done. Weirdly feels like I've never heard the end of Stairway to Heaven, how can this be?? Feels like a different tune, anyway, solid album.

There’s a good argument to be made that 1971 was the best year for music since the invention of the gramophone. This album is a prime example of a good album being more than the sum of its parts. It’s not perfect by any means - Stairway to Heaven plods along for just a bit too long and let’s face it, however good John Bonham’s drumming is, When The Levee Breaks is still a bunch of white guys playing delta blues. However the rest of the album more than makes up for these petty cavils, with a mix of stomping rock’n’roll and quieter numbers, with a bit of Tolkien-esque elves and goblins folderol prog thrown in for good measure. Speaking of which, The Battle of Evermore is notable for featuring the great Sandy Denny and it’s a shame that she didn’t get to do more with the band as her vocals are a perfect complement for Robert Plant’s.

Delightful. I’ve been for long waiting for a classic masterpiece to get recommended to my feed.

i like it

Eu gosto desse álbum

Super!

I know it’s a classic, but it is not that great. A few weaker tracks on side 2, if I’m not mistaken. Stairway to heaven is of course outstanding.

So many great songs.

Really nice album.

You know what, in terms of the 60s/70s rock mush that this on this list, I really enjoyed this one! Felt less generic and had a bit of something to it. I those Led Zeppelin's are gonna make it!

I have a guilty love of Led Zep tbh, maybe it's the feeling of being in my dad's car as a child, or helping him make a Led Zeppelin song his ringtone. It's just funtimes good ol rock n roll to me!

Initially I had to get used to the sound, especially the voice of Robert Plant, it's.. sharp. So I focused on the drums more. Also, the last few songs were more interesting and for the time probably quite revolutionary. I can see where Angine de Poitrine got some inspiration. And of course.. Stairway to Heaven. I've heard it a 1001 times now. Really listened. It's a gem ok. Very familiar. But a gem.

Kult

Sonaré a papá cansón, pero definitvmente Led Zeppelin logró algo con el rock desde los 70 que sigue siendo ininigualable.

4 just because of stairway and levee

Tiene algunos temunes, la verdad en general me gustó mucho, capaz lo único que le criticaría es que las canciones son muuy largas.

Very energetic and energizing. Must have been mind-blowing to listen when it first came out. The album doesn't have a lot of pacing or sequencing, though - it's more a selection of individual songs, each of them strong on their own merits. Their ability to compose an album with a coherent arc and meaning (instead of just songs) hasn't fully emerged.

Good album, really enjoyed it. Zeppelin is always good time and this hit the spot.

This is honestly the Zeppelin album that I gravitate to the least. When the Levee Breaks is a monster, Misty Mountain Hop is great, and Rock and Roll is good too. But, sorry, I'm not in love with Stairway to Heaven. The Battle of Evermore is a drag. Going to California is weaker. I'd take Four Sticks. Black Dog I get. But this is too often the pantheon of Zeppelin when in reality it should be II. I gave I a 4 star rating. I can't see giving this a 3 necessarily, but if I never put this on again, I'm not sure I'd feel lost without it.

Tough to beat some classic rock - and it doesn’t get more classic than this! Favourite track: Stairway to Heaven

I don’t know what I was expecting, but this album turned out to be overall pretty good. Definitely I’m going to listen more.

Yeah I’m sure it was good in the 70s, and they’re good at what they do. Would I listen again, maybe just the hits.

As usual, Zeppelin very much worth of the hype. Aged really good I feel.

listened to it a while ago. incredibile album with very elevated songs and some psychedelic imo

You know what. They’ve won me over.

This was so close to a 5 but a couple of songs are worth skipping.

Black dog! Stairway to Heaven! When the Levee Breaks!

7/10

The soundtrack of my years as a preteen dirtbag.

This is pure math. IV ≠ 5. In fact, IV = 4

Their best work and outstanding hits/track ratio. Something is holding me back from awarding the five however. Over play? Too Boomer? I don’t want a physical copy? Just vibes? I don’t know & I’m not sure I care.

Pretty good but like wayyyyy overhyped by sentimental boomers remembering how they probably got head while listening to this album or something. Physical Graffiti clears this album so easy.

Everyone knows Led Zeppelin IV. It's a very, very good album, but to be honest it's not really there on the list of my favourite albums.

English band creates the most quintesessential american album ever. Hard rock, folk and blues.

Banger

Classic rock at its finest. Houses of the Holy is still my personal fave though.

Already listened to this one! Really enjoyed it though

Consistently great album. Maybe the most listenable of Led Zepp's catalogue? Thing about Zepp is I'm never really compelled to seek them out... but whenever a track on "IV" comes on the radio or a playlist, I let it play out.

275/1089 i don’t have much to say about this one other than that i enjoyed it, 3rd LZ album and i think this is my fave so far but they’ve all been solid faves: The Battle of Evermore, Going to California 73/100

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

It's Led Zeppelin, but it's not the best of Led Zeppelin

Gives me motortreffen vibes, in a damn good way

Apparently this was the Led Zeppelin album I was waiting for. I really enjoyed this. Even though there was nothing new here for me, having heard all of these songs on WBCN during my younger years, I had never listened to the full album. Definitely enjoyed it a lot more than I had expected. This makes me happy because now I can tell my friend who is a rabid LZ fan that I agree, she's not completely bonkers.

Great band with great music

Pretty great

Not as good as III in my opinion, but still pretty damn good

No había escuchado a Led Zeppelin mas allá de los ultra clásicos y las que ponen en sopotocientas de peliculas de las que seguramente sus fans se habrán cansado, pero esta bastante bien escuchar algo de ellos diferente y además de que date des cuenta de que suenan brutal

It's all about the drums, really. Bonham was the irreplaceable component of the band. Raw, booming, swinging - a one-off.

I've heard this a thousand times. Not really a fan of Stairway.

A little up and down -- I like some of the lesser known tracks near the back end more than the heavy hitters.

Overall it’s pretty good, but there are just some songs that I didn’t find that enjoyable.

ou ye ou yee ou yeee tuntun sahuuur ou yeee

"No stairway, Denied!" Wayne from Wayne's world

Said it on the other Led Zeppelin album(s), these songs just feel crafted. Dense but not over produced. Enjoyable throughout.

I had no idea just how many hits came off of this album. I've always appreciated Led Zeppelin, but it just seemed like hit after hit after hit kept coming up in queue. I really enjoyed this as a workday jam album and was able to add some songs to my Liked Songs list that were apparently missing (ex: Misty Mountain Hop). Definitely enjoyed listening to it a few times over and would definitely listen to it again in the future. Not a 5⭐ album, but certainly up there in the rankings--like a 4/4.5?

Liked it, im happy that that was the first time i had listened to the whole album, since i'm not sure if i had appreciated it as much if i had listened to it when i was younger

Undeniably a great album, but I find the mixing to be both muddled and maximalist to the point where it's hard to parse out all the parts. Obviously there's breathing room on the quieter songs, but I wasn't able to step into the rockers as easily as I wanted to. But also this album changed my life where I heard it as a 13 year old, so it gets a 4.

This is the Led Zeppliniest Led Zeppelin album ever! It has Stariway to Heaven! It has the most Bonzo drumming! It has all the guitars! It has Robert Plant moaning, groaning, and just sleezing all over this record! It is so mystical, it doesn't even have an album title! Zeppelin can actually be a bit of a chore for me sometimes, but this album is actually pretty good. It is remarkable how every single song on this record was on regular rotation in my city's classic rock station.

One of those rock classics that I respect a lot but that I rarely want to listen to. Probably their most iconic album, but not necessarily my favorite one.

Yeah, great stuff. I don’t think every song is 10/10 on this but about half are.

I really enjoy the instrumentation, it’s excellent. Robert Plant is actually my least favorite part!

Fine album.

4/5

Heck yeah.

blackdog: 9/10 temon y terrible solo. rock and roll: 8,50/10 the battle of evermore: 8.50/10 tiene esa onda medieval/epica que esta buena. starway to heaven: 10/10 terrible. misty mountain hop: 7.80/10 flojito. four sticks: 8/10 esta buena. Buena musica. going to california: 9/10 me encanta. When The Levee Breaks: 8.50/10 temon para cerrar el disco pero me hartó un poco. muy buen disco.

Siempre esta bueno recordar lo bueno que es led zeppelin

Another LZ album, I know more of this one, the 3 I hadn't heard left little impact, but of course the others are quite good. LZ being better than most of the hard rock acts on this list. Like this more than II. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/245 (24%) Will I get: No

I occasionally can’t hack Plant’s voice but there’s no denying IV’s greatness and status. When the Levee Breaks rocked me. Fav tracks: Black Dog, When the Levee Breaks. RYM: Y (#74) Saved a song: Y

Immediately the soundstage is so different to modern stuff. Pre “wall of sound”. Such iconic songs. And such a breadth of songwriting. Black dog to battle of evermore to stairway to heaven is huge range in a single album. Harmonica, mandolin, synth… so surprised by all the different influences

Great!

8/10… psychedelic / classic rock / *1971

This for sure is my favorite Zeppelin project. The caveat is that im not huge on them to begin with. Im not against them like some other bands but I dont choose to listen to them almost ever. The other thing is there are some all time songs on here that I dont care for. Stairway is more of a meme before memes existed than a song to me. Its just the thing you shout at a local band to hear a worse version to extend a show. The song I guess is fine but the reputation is annoying. And black dog has a section of guitar that is out of synch and it drives me nuts every single time I hear it. I loose all good will I have for an admittedly cool guitar part when it comes up. Personally the songs I like are the lower key ones. Give me rock and roll, misty mountain hop, or going to California any day over the two biggest songs. But generally i like the bluesy rock that zep does here. It is nice. Just not my bag in most cases. Im surprised I was as into it as I was. Everything else ive heard goes in one ear and out the other without much resistance. But im happy to be happy with anything they put out cause I almost thought I just didnt like them or at least didnt care.

This is a definitive classic rock album. Amazing. Pitchfork: 9.1 (reissue rating) Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #58 Best Songs (nearly every song) Black Dog The Battle of Evermore Stairway to Heaven Misty Mountain Hop Going to California When the Levee Breaks

IV

Sorry but there's only one stellar track (Stairway), one really good track (Black Dog), and a bunch of pretty solid blues rock.

Très bon album, manque de peps pour devenir un 5stars

Some classics on here

Good album. Bit too much of an old feel for me, but stairway is obviously a classic. The change for the acoustic song was nice. Length of album was good, overall an enjoyable album, only one song gets into my playlist

Amazing album with good classics

Good album, nothing to complain about, but I don't get the hype about it being a masterpiece. 7/10 or a light 4.

Stairway to heaven es en mi opinión una de las mejores canciones escritas que hay y ya solo por eso este album se merece que le de un 5. Black dog también la conocía, rock and roll me sonaba, las demás la verdad que ni idea pero me han gustado. No sé realmente si le daria un 5 (todavía, quizás escuchandolo más) asi que le doy 4,5 pero lo redondeo a 4.

There's something about Led Zeppelin that doesn't quite hit me. Very good album musically, I'm just not blown away the vocals which are a bit jarring on The Battle of Evermore. Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven and When the Levee Breaks are all great, though. 3.5/5.

will listen again

Yea that's pretty good.

I forgot about 'Battle of Evermore', forgot about it all really. I want to play guitar.

Damn I love Zeppelin. I was little surprised to see that my 2 favourite songs were amongst the bottom 3 in listens. The only song I wouldn't say is great on this album is Four Sticks. The rest of the album is made up of all time classics of rock.

What a stacked album.

Omg songs I actually know on here

2/3. These songs are undeniable, whether that’s through great songwriting or sheer cultural force (I think it’s mostly the first one though). Some amazing riffs throughout, balance in the track listing (they know how to pace an album), and while I’m not the biggest fan of Plant’s vocals, I still enjoy them and think they’re integral to this album.

Wow I know every song. Not the biggest fan of Zeppelin's white boy blues, but this is more than that. I've heard Stairway to Heaven enough times to last me a thousand lifetimes so I skipped it here.

Quite a few classics on here....just doesn't have a whole lot of replayability for me. 4.5

Yes its like a 5 star album but I think 5 stars should be saved

So this one will always have a salty place in my heart. I bought this record used and it taught me a hard lesson. You should always pull the record out of the sleeve and look at it before paying for it. Anyways I bought it and brought it home and it the record was warped enough it wasn’t playable. So I read online that you can flatten it under some heavy books. This is not true for how bad this record was. So some people suggest putting it in the oven on the lowest temperature between two sheets of glass. Well this flattened it but it made the 3d waves 2D so it was still unplayable just flat. Now Callie gets to play with it until we eventually throw it out I guess. Other than the lesson this album has taught me. I do really enjoy the music on it. So many great tracks on this one. It would have been nice to spin it on the turntable once in a while. I won’t go out of my way to find a working copy of it. But if I see one someday for a reasonable price. You know I’m gonna get it.

Classic.

rock solid album by the classic rock legends. the band is running on all cylinders with this one. highlights: “rock and roll” “stairway to heaven” “when the levee breaks”

I think this was the first album I ever bought. Solid.

Full of the band's signature songs, this album proves why Led Zeppelin has persisted and stayed iconic and forever discussed in the best artist conversations.

Velmi dober. Got some bangers.

4.2 stars

Goeie toeie

Some absolute bangers all throughout that has encapsulated what it means to rock. Classics that have and will stand the test of time but falls one star short with some songs.

Loses a star for over-exposure. I feel there are deaf people who have heard this album too many times.

I like stairway to heaven and the battle of evermore, better rock album than the previous album, also when the levee breaks reminds me of famous prophets :3

Det her va et sånt album æ ikke så for mæ at æ kom til å bry mæ særlig mye om, men så endte æ opp med å høre på det to ganger på rad, fordi æ likte det så uventa godt. Det inkludere jo muligens de eneste Zeppelin-sangan æ kjente fra før av, uten at æ har hatt særlig forhold til dem anna enn å ha hørt dem, men det va helheten som va tiltalanes. Æ vet ikke om det e nokka æ kommer til å plukke fram og høre på seinere, men det e ikke utenkelig, og det i sæ sjøl e en overraskelse.

Rock out! I requested "Black Dog" in 12th grade Psych for our listening minute. Good stuff.

This is another album that was played on repeat by my parents so I recognized more songs than I anticipated

me gusta la forma que es rock and roll puro pero a la vez se toma su tiempo para desarrollar las ideas con canciones que superan los 5 minutos

Classic.

4.5

Great "blues" album by a legendary band

Not sure there’s more to say in this one. Quite good if a little played out

Songs were soooo long but still good. My top 3 Black dog Stairway to heaven Going to California

stairway to heaven is soo good my fave

Zeppelin's chill...Zeppelin's chill... Favorite Tracks: Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, When the Levee Breaks

Goed ma nu ook weer niet meer dan dat. Als ik meer tijd had dan zo ik de tekst kunnen opzoeken (er zitten blijkbaar zelfs verwijzingen in naar de Hobbit) en potentieel de score kunnen verhogen. Helaas heb ik die niet, dus het wordt een drie. Edit: ik ben in een goeie mood vandaag. Het wordt toch een 4.

Preety good

4 canzoni top, 4 canzoni meh. Prende 4 solo per stairway to heaven

Pretty good album, yet one that ultimately failed to blow me away like "Led Zeppelin" did

It's interesting how different this sounds to the previous Led Zeppelin album I heard (II). I think its better then that album but I'm still not really in love with this sound. I'm still not a huge fan of Stairway to Heaven, I don't know if I've been overexposed or what but it doesn't really do anything for me. That said I did really enjoy Rock and Roll and Black Dog. I think I just don't really like the delivery on some of these songs and it knocks it down from being really incredible. Misty Mountain Hop is a great example of a song I like the instruments of but I hate the delivery of those verses. Low 4 seems about right.

hell yeah Highlights: Black Dog, Stairway, Going to California

Good. Two top tracks

Simply great, it’s a lovely, easy listen. I think it lacks some of the gusto of II (previously rated) and is less bluesy, but it’s still really good. Could quite possibly be a 5 with more sustained listening to pick out its subtleties.

[Drop]

Total classic album. Not much more needs saying

8/10

Experimental album from Lad Zeppelin. Yeah, another classic but not so ground-breaking as 1-3 albums. Yet a couple of bangers are there.

Good album. Going To California it's perfect.

Probably their masterpiece and has the added bonus of including Sandy Denny on Battle of Evermore for that added bit of colour to the mix.

All time classic record, everything from the vocals to the guitar work to the drumming. Some really famous names in the band. Stairway to heaven is one of the best songs ever made

Classic album, stand-out tracks, still sounds good

good

Decent 4,5

Honestly kinda a vibe

I knew a couple songs off this album already. The only two I properly like are Black Dog and Going to California. Black Dog because I can't hear the lyrics and Going to California because I can. I will still probably stick to the Joe P cover though.

Hate Stairway… love the rest

When I first looked at the song list for this album, I thought I didn't know most of the songs. Once I started listening, I realized that I knew the songs, just never knew the names of them. Great album.

8/10 Best songs: The Battle of Evermore, Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks You know, this album does something that I really wish more albums in general do, particularly those from the early 70s: it has peaks and valleys, sometimes in the same song. Instead of stagnating with the same sound, the album goes from screaming, brash, and loud to low-key story songs. I really like that approach because I don't end up bored by the end. Stairway to Heaven is a good example of this encompassed in one song: calm story with almost sn acoustic vibe to the band kicking in to the vocals fading away and heavy metal taking hold to the earlier screaming vocals. Compare that to Four Sticks (also on this album) - one heavy bass line and screaming the whole way through; no variation makes for a very tedious experience. All of that being said, this album annoys me because its highs are extremely high and its lows are in the basement. Not sure how to rate this one. And one last note: man, they really gave anyone a microphone in the 70s, didn't they?

Amazing album not my taste but understand why it's a classic

Album that has stairway to heaven and rock and roll. Most notable parts to me aside from When the levee breaks. Good rock all around

A pretty solid album, I see why it has so many listens. I never realized I haven't listened to the whole Stairway to Heaven song, just the intro. When the Levee Breaks is pretty good, so is the first song. Album's definitely more, medieval? than I thought. 6.9/10 for me.

This is very solid stuff.

I just want to share the comedy podcast Three Bean Salads take on Led Zeppelin: https://youtu.be/Gj8FihIIaic?si=mAhteZQikrLhVTkT

Almost perfect

Without a doubt, a classic rock album

Stairway to heaven i

super strong album intro, rock n roll has a bluesy/country influence, Misty Mountain feels a lot more pop rock n' roll-y than their discography kinda loved it, going to california comes in so soft it shocks you – its my favorite led zeppelin song, brings it home with a killer guitar intro and some nola twang in the rhythm guitar

Love battle of evermore.

I want to hear this album live; there's something intoxicating about it but listening through my shitty wireless headphones is holding it back. Stairway to Heaven IS that good. The whole album is cinematic, like I'm in an action film. That said, it's just not my top genre. Favorite song: When the Levee Breaks.

classic! the dissonance in misty mountain hop was really awesome

Just a cool album isn't it.

a fun listen, a little repetitive at times

My second favorite led zeppelin album, reminds me of my dad

Very simple but must have been pretty groundbreaking at its time. Most songs are good but also too similar sounding.

80

I just really like Led Zeppelin 🤷‍♀️

My head tells me how wonderful LZ are but my heart is less enthused even though I feel that this album has always been part of my consciousness. There is no denying that this is an incredible album – I’m trying to describe it and all I can say is that it is transcendental heavy metal, quite unique.

Good album. Never been a big fan of Led Zeppelin rock, but Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, and When the Levee Breaks are what makes the album good. 8/10 (the variety and lyrics is what makes it a very interesting album)

what a start with black dog; goes a little off the rails, but then there is stairway to heaven lol, 4 stars for me

"If it keeps on rainin', the levee's gonna break."

Nearly all killer, no filler on this one.

7.5/10 Chanson pref : Starway to heaven

Suprisingly groovy

Blending heavy metal, folk, pure rock ’n’ roll, and blues, Led Zeppelin IV weaves rich threads of Tolkien-inspired and hippie mysticism throughout.

- 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 1 nummers al toegevoegd aan MMMM

Diverse!

Fav tracks: battle of evermore (mandolin + guitar), going to California (mandolin + guitar), misty mountain hop, stairway to heaven A classic. This album is so beautiful, didn’t realize how much I prefer the instrumentals til I heard he deluxe version.

AAGH At one point when listening the songs made me feel as if im so alive and human and then the next song I literally feel like i die and then came back to life Some songs are just fun and not that unique although there are some that stood out Was it worth it? Definitely because it was fun and some parts were unique When to listen to? Idk when else im gonna be listening to this album since it doesn't really fit a certain mood

Great album by the legendary band.

Kändes lite rockigt och nästan lite country men är tydligen lite olika typer av rock, nice vibe och bra trummor. Skulle nog vara askul att se live och man kände verkligen 70-tals viben

Great

Black dog - Bella, super carica

8/10 - не слушал

this is the of all time

An absolute classic of an album, very big songs on here. For me, I particularly love The Battle of Evermore more than some of the other well known songs, the lyrics, the mandolin, the duet, it’s magic.

Pretty good, quite long

Not a fan of the first 2 tracks, but I really like the rest. Stairway to Heaven is a perfect song. fav: Stairway to Heaven, The Battle of Evermore, When the Leaves Breaks

I’m not mad about it- I guess it’s a classic for a reason? Listened to this during a workout and got a lot done!

Really good. However, it doesn't feel like a 5 but perhaps that will change with more listens

Really enjoyed that. 10/10 song in Stairway to Heaven.

Liked this more than I thought I would, definitely helped by Black Dog and Stairway being classics.

on my third complete relisten and its still not my fav zep record but a solid classic rock album anyway

Just so much happening musically on this album. Classic.

Love the guitar riffs. Great banjo/folk sound on some songs. Stairway to Heaven is an iconic song that I’ve never really listed to fully but I see why it is legendary! Really liked the flute. And solid ending to the album with the rolling When the Levee Breaks.

4,5 pretty iconic

I haven’t loved a lot of Zeppelin so far, but I think I enjoyed this more than the others. Definitely a lot of recognizable hits on here.

This album suffers somewhat from over exposure. There are nonetheless some great riffs and other cool moments. I’m particularly interested in all the Tolkien references interspersed with regular rock stuff. Highlights for me are Battle of Evermore, Misty Mountain Hop, and When the Levee Breaks.

Even though there are many led zeppelin classics and counting my number one : when the levee breaks, this album is sort of messy. I wish Robert would control his voice as in the ballad of the evermore. Of course it’s a major classic rock album, a basic, a must to listen ! Solid 4 out 5

not my favourite but it's definitely a great album

Znammmmmm!

Joa. Ganz gut ne... Aber auch... überbewertet?!

Great album, 1 is better tho

Liked it way more than I thought it would. Such a cool sound and really defines classic rock. Top Songs: The Battle of Evermore, Four Sticks

theres so many versions of this album idk what to say. but i really like Led Zeppelin and i had a fangirl phase with them, so id say this album overall is about a 4.

No Stairway?!?! Denied! This is one of THE classic rock albums, packed with a bunch of really raw and heavy-hitting songs that really defined that era of rock music. The combination of subdued folksy and Middle-Earth-inspired tracks ("Battle Of Evermore," "Stairway", "Going To California") with the more hard rock tracks ("Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", "Four Sticks") made for a very interesting listen, which eventually culminated in the albums final (and fantastic) statement: "When The Levee Breaks." Also, it's such a small moment, but I've loved it since I first heard the song, when the refrain in Stairway to Heaven hits, with the smoothly-strummed guitar and electric piano, it just gives me really warm and comfortable feeling (almost like being covered in a blanket), which just gives that extra goodness to an incredible song about hope. Also Black Dog, Rock and Roll, and When The Levee Breaks just break my brain. John Bonham is goated. Fav: When The Levee Breaks, The Battle of Evermore, Stairway To Heaven, Black Dog. Dislikes: Four Sticks

peak album minus a couple songs

Excellent summer cruise music - listened to it a bunch in my teens. Never could get Black Dog right on guitar, but it was the first song I learned through a teacher.

Liked some of the songs up top, but wasn't in love with the whole album (3.5/5).

Classic Rock and Roll, there's a reason this album is venerated as one of the best Rock albums of all time

Flaut å si at jeg ikke har hørt så mye på Led Zeppelin før, men dette var et bra album så skal fortsette å høre mer fra de.

Black dog 6/10 decent enough The battle of Evermore 0/10 wtf lol. So out of place with the rest of the album I was so confused. Stairway to heaven, an absolute classic, just so damn long 8/10 Rock and roll, first time hearing. Solid song added to playlist 8/10 Misty mountain hop 7/10 liked it Four sticks 7/10 bit strange towards the end but decent Going to California 8/10 no comment I enjoyed it When the levee breaks 9/10 pretty perfect ending to the album, amazing song Overall id give the album a 7/10 some quality songs on there but one that is skippable every time unfortunately

Lot of classics, it's a fun listen. Great writing, will probably go back to it on occasion.

Pretty good. The last song reminded me of Special Herbs.

Led Zeppelin remains in the consistently good but never as good as people say tier right next to pink floyd

Enjoyed this album a lot. A couple songs I knew before but most I didn’t. Felt like a good variety of songs, a lot of energy but with a couple that were a bit slower. I would definitely listen to it again. Fav song: When the Levee Breaks Least fav: The Battle of Evermore

Nice rock album. I find it quite annoying they were numbering all the albums then just stopped after IV. Have some consistency. I do quite like the cover art though Specific rating - 4.3 Fav song- black dog Least fav- going to California

Some of the songs were a little "Look how good i am at guitar!" but overall still enjoyed the album, fun variety of songs Favourite Song: Going to California Least: Black Dog

Not my favorite Zep', but a stone cold classic through and through. *Heard before

Feeling like the coolest fucking kid on the playground.

Ouff, nu snackar vi! Inte Zeppelins bästa, men ändå. Briljant intro/outro, och Stariway är ju en perfekt låt.

Kinda silly kinda overdone kinda my husband would be impressed if I listened

Black Dog memories

Very nic3

I've heard many times that this is the best of the best when it comes to Led Zeppelin albums. It did not disappoint. Truly just a classic with hit after hit. I can't call it exactly perfect. There is a song or two I would likely skip over in the lineup if I were to listen through again. However, this album is well known and beloved for a reason.

Not as consistently good as some other led zep albums but stairway to heaven and when the levee breaks are 2 of the greatest songs of all time.

89/100. A very good album, their best, in my opinion. This record features some of the arguably greatest songs of all time. The highs are absolutely exceptional, though the lows fall short of the album's fantastic peaks.

I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but Led Zeppelin, and this album in particular, are over rated. This is a fantastic album, and there is loads to enjoy, but ... Led Zep stole so much from others and pretended they invented it. This did it well, true, but their efforts to deny the genius of Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf and others sticks in the craw. If you can get over that, this is a superb album.

album rocks

They kept the plagiarism to a minimum on this one which I appreciate. Favs: Black Dog Stairway To Heaven Misty Mountain Hop When The Levee Breaks Least Fav: Four Sticks

3.5/5

I accidently listened to this three times in a row, but it grew on me at least

I mean... it is a classic

Got some really great tunes on here, and I got mad respect for his influential this record is. I've just never been that big of a Zeppelin fan.

Great voice, musicality and diversity! Those first chords…what an opener!

i was so wrong about led zeppelin

Been 20 plus years since my last full listen. Enjoyed more than I thought I would - “When the Levee Breaks” rules.

I guess the name of this album comes from i.v., meaning intravenous therapy: ”Intravenous therapy is a medical process that administers fluids, medications and nutrients directly into a person's vein.” And yes, I know this album is officially ”untitled”, but I also know that track A4 has been mutilated by excessive playing and appreciation. So it’s a pretty annoying piece of music at times, even though it’s a masterpiece. Some songs just can’t handle that kind of treatment. And of course it’s not their fault! However, they fade away, and soon they’re lying in a hospital bed, IV tube in hand.

Never listened to Stairway to Heaven so I think I was expecting a little bit more, but I really liked it

This album was excellent. I think we previously listened to a Led Zeppelin album that were just okay but this one is polished and great from beginning to end. 4.45826 Edited to add: looks like I have all the previous albums were also rated as 4s. I guess I’m a Led Zeppelin fan.

After track four has been completely drained by literally everything in existence — whether it’s a Marvel movie, your local pub regular Steve crying into his pint while telling a story for the hundredth time, every beginner guitarist learning it as their first song, or the eternal insistence from rock purists that you must listen to the record backwards — you start to appreciate songs like The Battle of Evermore even more. Forever more. Yes, track four is an amazing song. The guitar solo? Incredible. And yes, water is still wet. But does anyone actually listen to the B-side anymore? The last song, though — that one’s a gem.

Starts out great. Then gets into talking about glee gloop and the flooktidoops. Then gets good for a few minutes. Classic but still.

Forbidden in guitar stores.

9/10 Favourite: When the Levee Breaks Least Favourite: Four Sticks

Led Zeppelin? More like the 4 losers, am I right?

Going to California was a favorite,.great sound

Álbum histórico, "Stairway to heaven" & "Rock and roll" como canciones que han pasado a la posteridad.

Love this album.

Okay, I get why everybody hails this album. It is definitely a classic, but honestly, I wouldn't say it is one of my favorites to ever be made. Again, I really understand its classic status, but I think there is a lot more creative and amazing songwriting that came out during the time. Also, the album's songs tend to be really overplayed. Like the majority of radio stations in my area really play the hell out of Black Dog or Stairway to Heaven (the dreaded guitar riff). But honestly, this was a good listen and one of those albums you tend to look forward to on this list. Favorite Tracks: Black Dog, Rock and Roll, The Battle of Evermore, Stairway to Heaven, Misty Mountain Hop, When the Levee Breaks Rating: 4.5/5

Minus one star for Rock and Roll, might be my least favorite zeppelin song. Great album.

Very good indeed, and the final nail in the coffin of my pre-project opinion of Led Zep. Although I do worry a little that I'm doing Liking Led Zeppelin wrong, because I think they're so much better when they just slow down and inject a bit of consideration and balladry into their songs, compared to the 'woah-yeah' of things like Whole Lot Of Love. Anyway, another very good album that I'm pleased to have changed my mind on.

Often hailed as one of the greatest rock albums ever made, this untitled fourth record by Led Zeppelin owes much of its myth to 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯 — a song that became an anthem, a cliché, and a rite of passage for guitarists everywhere. Still, the rest of the album shows the band at their creative peak: 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘋𝘰𝘨 and 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘭 explode with energy, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 drifts into English folklore, and 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴 thunders like the apocalypse. It’s easy to understand the legend, even if the worship can feel a little excessive.

Da sind die Erwartung natürlich hoch. Fand es besser, als die anderen beiden Alben, die ich von denen schon hatte, ich denke mal, es verdient seinen Status.

For my money the best Zep. Love it.

I’m not from the generation that first heard this album, and I don’t share the British or American background behind it. So I listen to Led Zeppelin IV with no preconceptions. To be honest, some of it feels a bit overthought, as if the band was trying to put too much meaning or mythology into the music. Compared to Led Zeppelin II, it’s less raw and spontaneous, and without knowing the cultural context of the time, it can feel quite obscure. Even so, When the Levee Breaks really hit me. It’s bluesy, yet it has a distinctly British weight and sense of space, and I especially love the guitar sound—I’d give it 10 out of 10.

Bon è vincere facile. Però a 16 anni non apprezzavo così

I'm not a huge Led Zeppelin fan overall, but LZIV truly earns a rating of IV. Now, which side is best to seduce a lady?

First side starts all rock 'n roll, then halfway turns into wizard music. Tolkien vibes are heavy. Didn't know "The Battle For Evermore" is a duet with singer Sandy Denny (who I should probably look into) - thought Robert was just gettin' it with the vocals. Stairway takes forever and is basically more wizard music. Second side is the preferred side for sure. "Going to California" is so damn good and I only wish it lasted a lil' longer. Brings a tear to my eye. "When the Levee Breaks" is the best shit from beginning to end. HEAVY. And of course the initial 2 bars of drums are absolute legend. One of Zeppelin's best tracks. Can listen to on repeat and totally be good. Not the first Zeppelin I turn to. Obviously a huge, indispensable record, but I'm good with just the second side dawg (no dis to the first side, just not usually where I'm coming from).

Great classic metal album!

Great record

Classic album, not their best IMO, but some gems and showcasing their unique style

This is surely the best Led Zeppelin album, eh? To my ear, the album’s first side is considerably stronger (e.g., “Black Dog” and “Stairway to Heaven”). There’s some bloat on the album, especially on Side Two. Still, you always have to respect the way the band incorporated metal, blues, and even folk.

Nice, I really enjoyed this one

Dei um suspiro ao gerar este álbum nesta manhã. Não de espanto nem de alívio, mas de decepção. Decepção pensando no ócio e fadiga que me aguardam no escrever desta review. Eu sei que será um desafio monumental articular apropriadamente em palavras o que sinto e o que penso sobre este disco e sobre esta banda no geral. Eu não cresci ouvindo Zeppelin, mas cresci ouvindo falarem *sobre* Zeppelin. Cresci com a percepção desta banda ser titânica, e sobre o disco IV estar no mesmo patamar, ou melhor, no pódio dos LPs infalíveis e magnânimos, junto de Abbey Road e Dark Side Of The Moon… e os stats globais aqui do site refletem isso, estando IV em #5 lá atualmente. Neste cenário, me sinto desprendido do consenso geral. Eu ouvi e rankeei toda a discografia do Led Zeppelin e minhas reações foram decepcionantes. Não viveram as expectativas gigantescas que foram construídas, ou melhor dizendo, a mitologia em torno da banda e seu trabalho. Mas é aquilo, a arte é subjetiva e todos tiramos nossos proveitos arbitrários dela. Enfim, re-ouvi o álbum hoje e irei escrever meus pensamentos atualizados, mas acho importantíssimo reconhecer a posição deste disco no panteão dos grandes, posição essa que eu avidamente me oponho. Há nele faixas que considero veementemente inconsequentes, uma delas sendo The Battle of Evermore, com sua estrutura sinuosa que leva à lugar nenhum. Rock n’ Roll é outro corte descartável, uma canção aceitável, mas que não pertence a um disco aclamado como um dos grandes. Já vê onde quero chegar, não é? Nos quesitos técnicos, é um disco excepcional. Isso não surpreende. A banda consiste de integrantes que são considerados um dos melhores em seus respectivos instrumentos. Então nesse quesito, não há falha alguma. Tudo aqui é em prima forma, como é de se esperar de um grupo com esse escalão. Mas como um todo, como uma obra completa, um LP corrido, eu vejo algumas falhas. Há nele canções sensacionais, espetaculares, inigualáveis, como Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, e When The Levee Breaks. Você nunca vai me ver me opondo a soberania dessas faixas no âmbito do blues rock. Porém, é possível notar que essas faixas são, respectivamente, o início, o meio e o fim do álbum. E o que se encontra nas entrelinhas não atinge os mesmos picos estratosféricos. Pode parecer injusto dizer isso, mas lembre-se, nesse site ele está em #5 no ranking global, e eu simplesmente não consigo desprender essa imagem da cabeça, e de ver este disco, ao todo, como superestimado. Ao meu ver, é uma coleção de um punhado de faixas sublimes, em meio de outras faixas apenas ótimas. Além disso, acho ele um pouco derivativo. Creio que o I e o II tenham sido bem mais influentes na solidificação do Blues Rock nos anos 70, e desta forma, o IV acaba saindo apenas como “mais um”. E assim se conclui o que é, sem dúvidas, minha review mais crítica de um álbum com a nota tão alta. Não estou sendo um opositor só pra ser, essa banda realmente não clica pra mim. Acho o som deles ótimo e brilhantemente composto e produzido, mas não acho equivalente a nomes como Beatles e Pink Floyd. Vou deixá-los com o prêmio de consolação de ser apenas “uma banda do caralho”, invés de uma das melhores de todos os tempos. Tadinhos! 4/5

This is a short album but each song feels equally as important as the last. "Stairway to Heaven", "Black Dog", and "Rock and Roll" are some famous titles.

Normally this music wouldn’t be my thing but I actually liked this album a lot and it was really Vibey

- Ist ein besonderer Sound zwischen Rock und eher ruhigeren fast Balladen Songs - Würde ich wahrscheinlich nochmal hören - Stairway to Heaven ist einfach ein Klassiker Topsong: Going to California

I was totally lost cuz I haven’t heard the other three. Went into this with the attitude of like “okay it’s a ton of songs I know? I really got listen to Stairway again?” Off the mark, bangers. Stairway is good. That mountain hop song was trash & I don’t think I like When The Levees Break at all cuz I associate that song with douchers.

I don't think I've ever seen a rock trilogy, let alone a Tetralogy with as much respect and love as Led Zepplin's. Led Zepplin IV is arguably the band's most recognized and beloved release of the entire 4 album run the band was on and when listening to the album it is easy to see why. Not only are the songs here incredible in their own rights, the instrumentation, album structure, and just everything is so well coordinated and put together that you really can't ever stop listening once you start. As much as I feel I can add comments about this album's overall quality, I truly don't think I can because of how many other people have dissected this album over the past 52 years. I totally get why this is so renowned and seen as a staple of the genre because of just how impactful each and every song here is on Rock and Roll even to this day. Each track feels like an odyssey put into musical form, especially Stairway to Heaven and When the Levee Breaks. While I do think Led Zepplin III is more my speed, I have to say this album is still great nonetheless.

No me arrepiento de haber esperado a tener un rato para darle a este disco el tiempo que se merece. Tantqs buenas canciones en un disco, algunas que honestamente no sabía que eran de Led Zeppelin. Bien balanceado. Los tracks super rock and roll (incluido el track llamado así), no me gustaron tanto 4.5/5

Många feta klassiker men för mig är det inte ett 5/5 album. Nej det ska vara svårt att få maxpoäng

Just a stupendous album and really deserves to be here. LZ are just the definition of heavy rock and this is amongst their best. Unfortunately the remaster doesn't compensate for the poor modern standards of audio reproduction. A very clear 'sound!' argument for vinyl!

Yeah great

Лед Зеппелин 4, самый хайповый альбом лед зеппелин, не знаю если он мой самый любимый, наверно нет. Но это легенда чё сказать, весь альбом в бэнгерах 8/10

4.5 cos of The Battle of Evermore but fuck it I’ll round it up

I really liked this! Great album! Also knew more songs than I thought I knew!

When I was getting into rock music I became obsessed with the song 'Stairway to Heaven'. I loved it so much that my father gifted me 'Mothership', a compolation of Led Zeppelin greatest songs, which allowed me to discover a lot more of them. After that, I decided to borrow a copy of Led Zeppelin IV that muy father had and still has. That was the first time I listened to the whole album. Thinking about those times, I'm realising that I was, and still am, not too crazy about the record. I must clarify that I really like this album and all that it offers: 'Black Dog' and 'Rock and Roll' are very energetic, 'The Battle of Evermore' is beautiful, 'Stairway to Heaven' is an incredible epic track, 'Misty Mountain Hop' is fun and 'When The Levee Break' has a very interesting combination of rock and folk. The other songs, 'Four Sticks' and 'Going to California' I think are decent, but way too dull in comparition with the big tracks. Overall, a great album, but it never hit any emotional nerve, except for 'Stairway to Heaven'.

8/10 The only Led Zeppelin full album I like. The tracks are great and there isn't a Whole Lotta love anywhere to be seen. 9-8-2025

73/1001 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ This album is absolutely stacked! It is rather front loaded, but regardless the quality doesn't diminish too much in the second half and When the Levee Breaks is a brilliant closer

We were driving through the hills in Albania and this was class music for it. I was bombing down the mountain to stairway to heaven

YES LAD

9/10

One of my favorite hard rock bands and arguably their best album. They have a bunch of folk influences, but they're one of probably two artists who managed to find a way not to bore me out with them (I just don't like anything folk-related, unless it's metal, for some reason). Stairway to Heaven probably has one of the best climaxes of any song, ever. That being said, although I think this album is great and I love it, it is pretty inconsistent. I feel like Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, and When the Levee Breaks are just way better than the rest of the songs on this album. I don’t think they’re bad or anything, but the average quality of songs here is not enough to reach the 9/10 territory. Like, this album is a roller coaster that has some songs that are groundbreaking in their catchiness, and the rest that is just solid but nothing special. Great riffs, great drumming, great vocals, but this album lacks a little bit of extra oomph for me.

never listened in full. great!

Just a great album I don’t have much to say that hasn’t already been said. Only giving it 4 stars because it didn’t change my world, but still a great listen.

This is the 7th album i've listened to. I love his album, just to start it out like that this is definitly what i wish to do when i use my guitar. I can see a lot of younger rock use this as a base when creating songs and being one of the first albums to do this is insane. I love all the instruments in this and I feel l like I could listen to a lot of these songs on loop. That said I cant give this that high of a score since the only song i could get attached to was stairway to heaven and rock and roll HQ. I will give this a 86/100

I love this album, its not my absolute favourite of Zep

Banger

Full of the classics, a great album

Dad- 5 Mom- 9 Mike- NA Lori- 8 Michael- 10 Miles- NA Cole- NA Avg- 8

Surely one of the greatest hard rock albums oat, still i can't find a reason to really enjoy listening to their songs

Pretty good stuff, I’m just not a Zeppelin guy.

7.5/10 Highlights: Stairway When the Levee Breaks Rock and Roll

O disco que deu definição ao hard rock e ao heavy metal, não é meu álbum favorito do Led Zeppelin, talvez por ser pomposo e um pouco barulhento, se comparado ao incrível "Houses of the Holy". Ainda assim um ótimo disco!

It's weird to me that Led Zeppelin is considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. I mean, not weird. I get it. Weird words, good music, tons of eccentricity, etc. And maybe this is even their masterpiece or whatever, but I don't seek out listening to them. It's great music, but it doesn't stick with me like I need it to to give it 5 stars. Perhaps that's a personal failing, which I accept.
