Not a big fan of, but not a bad album

It was led zeppelin

That’s sure Zeppelin!

Classic, not their best but worth the hype. Standouts are Whole Lotta Love, Lemon Song and Heartbreaker. Also Jeff Buckley sang Whole Lotta Love as he walked to his end, sad little fun fact.

6/10. Un disco de Led Zeppelin, no hay mucho más que agregar. Un sonido muy reconocible, con esas guitarras cebadas. Tiene algunos temas muy buenos, pero en lo demás no destaca.

Stark 3a

Im not a huge Zeppelin guy to be fair but this just might be my favorite one so far. And what's especially crazy about that is i was certain in the first few songs it would be my least favorite. Whole Lotta love is a song i know but it has this weird directionless section in the middle. And that rubbed me the wrong way. The lemon song is also one in the memory banks vut its just gross. Not into it at all lyrically speaking. But once we hit heartbreaker its all uphill. Living loving maid is a good one. And ramble on is a classic. Its just good for half of the runtime. Pretty inconsistent but still a good one all yhe same. I can ignore the things I dont like pretty easy.

See album omas mõnda klassikat, aga üldiselt jäi see taustamuusikaks, mis mind eriti kuulama ei tõmmanud.

bands like these always throw me off because nowadays if this music came out it would be considered like, alt-rock or borderline pop-rock. but this is?? apparently "hard rock"? sir this is pop music

This Zed Leppelin was alright

I listened to it twice and don't really remember much one way or the other. So it was a fine album, but not one that really caught my attention.

5/5 musicianship combined with overindulgent song arrangements have always made Led Zeppelin a little less enjoyable than the sum of their parts for me and this album is in keeping with that. 3.5/5

Qualidade musical muito bom, mas achei meio parecida as músicas. Não fez muito meu estilo não

Whole lotta love is a great song, but less bothered by the rest of the album.

(4/7) could be worse

Whole Lotta Love is one of the greatest album openers of all time, but the rest doesn't live up to that track. I feel like all the things people criticize Zeppelin of can be found on this album (like 1:1 ripoffs of black musicians, LOtR fandom and impromptu sex squeaks). This was probs the Zeppelin album I was least looking forward to.

I hope this is the last of the Led Zep albums on the list, I don't hate them but no band should have more than 2 albums on this list, especially when they all sound the fucking same.

Alright, starting off with Led Zeppelin. This is a solid album, couple of classics on it. 3/5

not goin in my playlists

Solid album, Thank You was the highlight. I've never listened to Led Zeppelin in the past beyond Stairway to Heaven so this was a pleasant moment of discovery. Many fantastic riffs but also a few dissonant chromatic moments which to me felt jarring and didn't sit right with my taste.

Its a classic! but I dont listen to it often

This was fine. Nothing really standing out for me or feeling that impactful

- More pedos/SAers. - I like this one a lot more than III. - It starts out great with the first two hits (I really only like their hits). The other ones don't interest me as much - I just get tired of their sound pretty quickly. I also like Ramble On. - Really great bass throughout and some nice guitar riffs, but again, I get tired of them fast. - No thanks to a drum solo song. - I just can't listen to pedos sing about "love" or say "baby" (for obvious reasons).

Good! my favorite was ramble on or living loving maid

Good but not their best

Driving, raw rock. Heavy guitar solos.

They were the template for hard rock, an essential album, but not one that I need to go back to

+1 star more than this deserves because of Whole Lotta Love. But baby, baby, baby, baby, oh noooo is right

It is very appropriate that the first track of the first album allocated to me in this project is the song that Top of the Pops used as its theme tune for the top 10 countdown. Overall the album has the feel of a polished live performance or jam session. Makes full use of the possibilities of Stereo, with many tracks sweeping wildly widely to and fro. "Thank You" was the standout song on this for me - lovely and melodic!

Doesn't feel as iconic as their first album and was hoping for a breakout. May require further listening. I lament not being able to give half scores.

Kind of meh. There isn't much going, and "The Lemon Song" is... yeah. Very odd lyrics to most of the songs in the album.

Wednesday June 3rd, 2026. This album has some really good guitar parts - I love the bass. The lyrics didn't really resonate with me, but they are unique and interesting. 7/10

I enjoyed. Moby Dick was a really annoying song, the random banging on a drum at the end just pmo, otherwise had quite a good feel to the whole album. 3.5/5

For me, this one is far less immediately effective than IV, and honestly not as strong as the debut or Physical Graffiti. To each their own. It’s still a good album, with plenty of great moments.

Never been of a huge fan of led zeppelin for some reason. On paper I should love them and I tried to like them. An old rock and roll band with some of the most respected and talented musicien ever. I absolutely get where the praise is comming from and trust me, I would love to like them. I always tought Plant voice was annoying and sounded stupid. That paired with the cheesy lyrics doesnt help. Average led zeppelin song: OoooOOOOooOoohhh baby baby baby I love yoooou *worst guitar solo ever* That said they have amazing songs. "Heartbreaker" is a fucking banger. But overall theyrs too much crap man...Not just on this album, on all of their discography. And im sorry but Jimmy page is such an overrated guitarist. Hes just spamming random blues licks all the time. I dont find him interesting at all. He also did made great stuff, like the "Stairway to heaven" solo wich is obviously really good. Wanna whole lotta mid/5

Look, Zeppelin are great, is this their greatest album, no, are there some great songs on this, without a doubt. Should you listen to it, most definite

Just not a big Zeppelin fan

Just not my fave

i love hip-hop. mono auto exw na pw

그냥 록

Heartbreaker

At last I enjoyed a Led album, listening to the 1001 albums has brought me into the “Blues rock” side of Zeppelin- read about John Bonnin yesterday, very sad at 32, then the band disbanding in respect🙌

Someone, release the nipples of the vocalist

The received wisdom about Led Zeppelin is true: they shamelessly ripped off black musicians, they're all creeps, and about 75% of their songs are just Robert Plant repeating "baby baby baby baby..." over indulgent drum fills and guitar solos. I did kinda like this album though...

seggs out of 10

I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin. It feels like a very long 40 minutes. 2.5

Aye grand

Couple of great ones but not as good as IV 3.5

Not their best one but a decent listen

C'est pas excellent Mais c'est pas mauvais C'est pas trop long Et c'est pas trop court C'est pas hyper original par rapport au premier Mais c'est pas non plus maintenant stream C'est pas mon groupe préféré Mais je ne les déteste pas non plus C'est pas hyper varié Sans être trop répétitif C'est pas un 1 C'est pas un 5 non plus C'est un 3

Mag vielleicht ein wichtiges Album sein, trifft aber nicht meinen persönlichen Geschmack.

Song one started great ... then just became them futzing around for a few minutes .. then returned to good.

I like Zeppelin in small doses. When they hit, they hit well, but there's a lot of misses that just annoy me. Whole Lotta Love is still a banger. And I've pretty sure I've heard the riff from Heartbreaker in a movie before. I guess this album is just average to me. so a 3

My loyal readership knows two things: The fact that I hate white guy blues, and the fact they they in fact, do not exist. Now what that legion of imaginary readers may not know, is that blues INFLUENCE, is actually pretty great. We're not trying to be Muddy Waters or Lightnin' Hopkins, but you can hear that they might have had a small part to paly in the formation of this music. The bizarre order in which I have now listened to these albums (III, IV, II) and without the reference point of the first Led Zeppelin record, has made it difficult to see the progression. This release feels more psychedelic, and when it picks up steam, it really rocks. If you try to imagine what it would be like to have heard this in 1969, it will blow your fuckin' mind. Heartbreaker in 1969??? Fuck. That's two swears. I get one more. uhhh PISS! I got nothing else. I rue the passage of time, as it dilutes even the most potent of expression. Led Zeppelin II hits these ears as dated, but behind the faded façade, you can see pieces of the once revolutionary tapestry that was put to tape here. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: You guys wanna go to the amusement park? Yeah they've got this American civil war photo thing, I was thinking it could be our album cover.

Led Zeppelin IV is amazing, but this didn't land for me. First track aside, proper banger, the rest was on the mellow side (Moby Dick was good though). Nice riffs, some jams, the drums are certainly noteworthy. I was a bit disappointed.

Very good

Classic!

You can hear how tight this band already is. 𝘓𝘦𝘥 𝘡𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘐 sounds confident and direct, built around big riffs and strong performances, but the heavy blues influence starts to feel a bit limiting after a while. It hits hard at first, then settles into a pattern that doesn’t change much. There are clear highlights — 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 stands out immediately, and there are stretches where everything just clicks. But in between, it leans a lot on the same ideas, which starts to feel repetitive after a while. Nothing here is badly done — the playing is great throughout — but I don’t find myself that engaged over a full listen. It’s solid, just not something I’d come back to often.

Great songs but not a complete listening.

I liked I better.

Look, I went through a huge Led Zeppelin fan girl phase in high school, and I do still love them, but listening to this a fully grown adult I’m kind of over a lot of it. Zeppelin III and IV will always be my favorites and this one just isn’t holding up to me. I will probably always prefer Zeppelin’s quieter and nerdier LOTR themed songs. I still love Ramble On and Thank You. But my patience for their cockier, ripped off from Southern blues songs has worn thin. Lemon Song sounds particularly ridiculous to me these days. Three stars for the nostalgia, but probably more accurately a 2.5

Some good songs, but overall they were pretty repetitive

pretty good, some of the lyrics made me uncomfortable

me gustó bastante, tiene 2 canciones que reconoci

I can’t imagine what ‘Whole Lotta Love’ would be like performed live. There is just a whole lotta shouting, loud instruments, and pauses???

Solid album, but lowkey every song kinda sounds the same.

Buen album

I appreciate them of course but have never been a fan

I dunno, this is just more led zepplin. I think their middle era stuff is better but there's some cool bluesy rock here too and everyone in the band is just so fucking sick at that

Unfortunately, as good as the good songs on this record are, I think the level of absolute stinkers on it bring it down from a 4 to a 3.

very rocky

Pretty good but a bit indulgent in parts

Not a fan of the vocals on this album but musically it was reasonably interesting and had some decent riffs. Lyrics were pretty naff... Very little of it was new to me, and the bits that were weren't all that good, like Moby Dick which was... dull.

Generally good. Moby Dick stood out to me as a bad song because who likes long drum solos...? I mean probably some people I'm just a solo hater. Led Zeppelin were clearly ahead of their time but coming in as a new listener nothing here is that impressive Mid 3

Звуки крушения дирижабля 60х

It’s Led Zeppelin. It has 2 outstanding songs. You all know them and can probably sing them. There are 5 mid-tier tracks. They are likable enough. They definitely sound like Led Zeppelin. Everything about these tracks screams average. They are songs designed to fill out the record. Then there are 2 songs that are just shitty. In fact, so shitty, they offset all of the good will produced by the 2 classic tracks. So, I’m transparent, the 2 shitty songs on this record are easily identifiable: The Lemon Song and Moby Dick with its interminable fucking drum fucking solo. So, it’s not a great record. It’s good and 2 tracks too long. 3/5

Some great songs on here, just not sure it develops much from Led Zep I. Still, it's hard to argue with a band that wrote the TOTP theme tune but never released a single! 3 - deserves to be on this list

Felt less significant and more freewheeling than the other Zeppelin album on here

Unlike what most music fans probably think, I find *Led Zeppelin II* to be the band’s most boring and weakest album. Too much blues, too much posing, too many swaggering guitar solos and “every inch of my love”. Yes, I know, that’s what many people love about rock ’n’ roll, but it’s also exactly what bores me out of my mind. Fortunately, the band has made far better albums. Highlights: Ramble on, Thank you.

It was ok.

I tried for years, but the truth is that I don't really enjoy Led Zeppelin. All the ingredients are there (the absolutely godlike rhythm section in particular), but they just never clicked for me, right from their debut and all the way to Physical Graffiti, so I've definitely given them a fair shake. I really dislike Robert Plant, so it could be down to that. There are a couple of tracks here I really dislike and it's mostly down to him. I do have to point out that this album is probably my personal favourite out of all of them, but I have to revisit the rest because it's been a while. Favourite track - The Lemon Song

It sounds like the music they put in American movies when the lead role is waking up and doing his morning routine. It sounds decent but it’s not something I’d genuinely listen to, unless, you know, if i’m trying to imagine that i’m a lead role in an American movie!

Led Zeppelin are an icon. That being said, I feel v meh about this album.

This album is decent. I like it but overhyped

I really wanted to love this album. Partly because I enjoy rock and Led Zeppelin are considered by many to be one of the most influential and well regarded rock bands. But also partly because people that I know and respect really like Led Zeppelin. But unfortunately it was not really for me. Robert Plant's vocals are truly incredible and perfect. But I find his straining high pitched voice challenging to listen to for a full 40 minutes. The solos are really over indulgent and tracks like "Moby Dick", just feel really off putting to me. I understand how much talent is required to do it. But it still feels like a slog to get through it. My take away from the album is very much in this vain. Its really impressive and showcases a wealth of talent. But I'm not sure I want to spend my evenings listening to it. (3.000)

This is definitely heavier in sound than IV, so +1 star for that. Their overwhelming acclaim continues to elude me however, to my taste they never reach the highs of, say, Black Sabbath. Standout: The Lemon Song

love the guitar! i feel like it meets the hype bc i never thought i would love this kind of music but it’s lowk okay if i’m in the mood.

Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album, but still good.

I only really listened to a couple Led Zeppelin songs. So, this was a very good introduction for me. Loved ever second of this album! I adored 'Thank You', 'Heartbreaker' and 'Ramble On'.

listened to it getting ready to go out for st. paddy's day drinks. long guitar solos were nostalgic.

Album was alright. I like the vocals and guitar for Led Zeppelin but this album didn’t really catch me the way some of there others do.

Had some good hard hitters but didn't grab me as much as I was hoping

2 led Zeppelin in a row wowzers

Nice album, i like most of tracks. Sometimes they are too long for my taste but anyway. Another thing - Jimmy Page is fking riff machine, his riffs are so catchy. 7/10

I think it's good music but I don't really like Plant's voice on high notes. Their chiller songs are much nicer.

helvete hvor mange led xeppelin album er på denne listen det er fett jeg bare bryr meg ikke. hult.

I wasnt listening quite that actively, but i liked the instruments, sometimes the voice was a bit shrill

Pas mal pas mal

Leuke opener, die kende ik natuurlijk. Verder een prima album. Niet heel bijzonder eigenlijk. Soms best vervelende geluiden

I find Zeppelin 1 and 2 to be very overrated. Zeppelin 3 and onwards is when the band became great

Classic ofc, but suprisingly did not like many of the guitar solos

Not my favorite Zeppelin album. 1 and 4 are way better. Still solid, some ideas go on for a little too long though.

It grows on you.

Mix of a lot of genius and a lot of pretty goofy ideas.

Love Zeppelin; not my favorite from them lyrically though.

It's Led Zeppelin! It's just great. Some classics and some other stuff when in

Even though I know that Led Zeppelin is legendary, somewhere in the back of my mind, I also saw them as corny, probably because I don't listen to this style of music very much. But giving this album listen, I found that, wallet did seem that way on the surface, there is a lot of talent and rhythmic interest on display. I like the drummer a lot and the bass player isn't bad as well. The guitar lines are memorable and the guitar is used in creative ways. They have a distinct style, but they're skilled enough to keep it from being repetitive. I didn't mind the long-form compositions because there was decent variety. Ramble on is an amazing song, the verses and chorus contrast each other very well. It makes me want to keep singing my song. 7/10

Who knows what I would have given this, if I hadn't heard half of these songs 1,000 times each, but, anyway, I'm gonna give it 3 stars, perhaps deducting a little for taking up too much of my music listening time. ;) Also, for Robert Plant's voice, which I used to hate, and still don't love. And also for stealing from blues guys (similar to Elvis). One of my all-time favorite blues songs is "Killing Floor," by Howlin Wolf, featuring the great Hubert Sumlin playing some killer guitar. "The Lemon Song" is lifted directly from this (but nowhere near as good). Two other songs are at least partially credited to the great blues musician and songwriter, Willie Dixon. Also, the lesser-known songs on this album are pretty mediocre.

I'm sure it should deserve a higher score for its cultural significance. But I'm just rating it on a listen and I think its good.

Not too bad, a little disappointing as this album has one of rock's real classics (Whole lotta love) but little else to make me listen again

Zone out a fair bit. It's just meh for me

Not as good as IV, but still decent

Buen disco de Rock, cosas interesantes que no había escuchado de Led Zeppelin, grandes canciones como Whole Lotta Love y la magnifica Moby Dick, las demás las sentí mucho de relleno, están buenas, más no memorables como las dos mencionadas.

Classic Led.

Just okay. Maybe was not in the mood to be open but was not an emotionally resonant experience. The lighter more acoustic moments felt realer to me than the grandiose big songs. Faves: Tangerine, That’s the Way, Since I’ve Been Loving You, Gallows Pole

Probably my least favourite Zeppelin album. Might be JPJ's best bass album though.

I’ve heard of Led Zeppelin Favorites: Whole Lotta Love, What Is and Should Never Be, Ramble On Thoughts: I think I like hard rock more than “classic” rock. This album definitely resonated more with me than Bob Dylan. Not my cup of tea every day of the week, but I’d like the energy on Saturday mornings.

Led Zep have just always been there, I can’t honestly distinguish between most of the first handful of albums, they’re just good solid rock albums

Probably should rate this a 4 but I don't LZ is really my jam

I know that this is a classic album but half the songs on this album are like: Ooh da da bada boo yeah yeah, baby! Over some bluesy guitar and syncopated drums. It’s not all bad, but god it is ever into itself. I like Thank You and Ramble On by themselves but just sitting and listening to a whole album of this is not for me.

Not that memorable of a led Zepp

Strong start strong finish this was a delight to listen to.

*1969. *Whole Lotta Love, Lemon Song, and Ramble On. *Wanted to give this 4-5 stars before diving into it, but just didn't do it for me. Will revisit. RATING - 6.5/10

Straight classic rock. Not as good as some of there other works but jimmy page working his magic as usual

On kovia. You gotta get foolin' get back to school in! Conan laulaa tätä aina välillä

It's Led Zeppelin so what can you say. Not a big fan of Plants' voice but the music is good and you can't deny their influence...

Led Zeppelin is the worst of good classic rock. I can't say they're bad, but I would not purchase this album if I was 19 years old in 1969.

I don’t hate Zeppelin but they’ve just never really done it for me

Usually when I listen to some seminal band I find that I enjoy the deeper cuts more than the shit I’ve heard over and over. Not the case with Led Zeppelin, I don’t need the deep cuts AND I’m tired of the hits.

love, mais pas mon pref

Lost it's lustre over time. The plagiarism and dubious behaviour don't help.

It took me a couple of tries to listen through this album because I wasn't in the mood for it, and my first attempt ended with a splitting headache (not promising, I know, but I'm determined to give the album a fair shake). If I'm being honest, the vocals were always what prevented me from getting into this band, as the instrumentation is usually quite interesting with awesome guitar riffs, but something about Plant's shrieky vocals are unpleasant to me. It's hard to put a finger on what exactly I don't like about it; I do sometimes enjoy heavy music with screamed vocals, so it's not just the volume. The song "What is and What Never Should Be" is emblematic of this problem for me. The band gets into such a good, satisfying groove that I want to enjoy but Plant shrieking "baby baby baby" on top of the mix just worming into my ears in a very irritating manner (and that's not the only song in which he does that with the same lyric). I think it doesn't help that the lyrics on some of these songs are often very surface-level and showing no attempt to make the mode of delivery seem appropriate ("Whole Lotta Love" & "The Lemon Song"). There are some notable exceptions, and I much prefer the more descriptive, mysterious lyrics on songs like "Ramble On", with its Middle-Earth references. I think what I've typed here is more harsh than I meant it, but this is a band for which I missed the boat and I just don't love it the way others do (by way of explanation, I'm a millennial).

I had no idea 2 Cellos based their adaptation of the 9th symphony on the first track of this album. Lol Moby dick is a percussionist's love child.

Grooving, great instrumentals and beats. “Ramble on” stood out.

Some definitively iconic jams, and some really awesome guitar playing. Overall, Led Zeppelin can drag on just a bit too much for my taste. Best Track: Thank You

Enjoyed revisiting this. Haven't heard it since I was a kid (although obviously some tracks get carted out here and there and Whole Lotta Love has been (over)played to infinity - still a banger). Some aspects feel pretty sublime. Some tremendous baselines. The heaviness with the lushness. I find the hark back/appropriative blues vibes a bit eugh and the gender outlook very bleugh. As a kid I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings references, and why not I guess, but it feels a bit jembley now. Actually Led Zep are defo in the mix for very early proto jemble vibes! I also didn't realise this was (just) released in the 60s, which actually makes a lot of sense, it sounds out of 69.. and also definitely puts them at the forefront of some rock'n'roll developments as far as it goes.

A bit underwhelmed overall, but that's a me issue as it's clear this album is a "classic". Some good songs and the music is overall fantastic, but I just can't get on with the voice. Best song on the album is Whole Lotta Love, which is a shame as its the opener.

Another entry by the most overrated band in the history of music. Led Zeppelin I is terrible; II is better, but still not great. There are three good songs on this album; Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid. Of the first two, the band still couldn’t resist the temptation to fill a minute or two with unnecessary, random riff filler. The guitar hooks are fantastic though. Living Loving Maid is Led Zeppelin’s best song, in my opinion. Catchy and fun. I still can’t understand why this band is so revered. You have to get through twenty minutes of mediocre to get three minutes of quality. It’s not even average, it’s a mixed bag.

Solid. Not particularly memorable, however. Most songs seem to bleed together.

Thought it was decent enough - don’t quite get the elevated status of the group

#239/1001.

An fun and amazing album, quite some hyped songs in my opinion Fav songs - Whole Lotta Love, Thank You 3/5

итс окей прикольно 6/10

Probably in the minority that doesn’t really care about Led Zeppelin, they’re influential and their music is technically pretty good, but I just never really clicked with much of what they’ve done. This is kinda no exception, there’s a few good songs here but nothing I can really say I’ll actively seek out again.

Whole lotta love was nice, it reminded me of a friend who played this once, i didn't know the name of the song then. Others are pretty decent since this genre is really new to me.

- hat mir sehr gefallen - bin noch nicht ganz drin - habe mir die Wikipedia Inhaltsangabe der Songs durchgelesen - viele Songs haben Spaß gemacht - aber der letzte Funke ist noch nicht übergesprungen - ich würde mir aber auf jeden Fall die Platte kaufen - ich mochte oft die Solos und die anderen Riffs, manchmal die einfachsten am meisten

Æ innrømme det! Æ skjønne ikke greia med Led Zeppelin. E ikke dette den o’store plata deres.

Killer åpning, men deretter blir det fort repetititvt og gnålete.

Zeppelin comma Led. A major oversight of mine. I do like the sound of the album, lyrics are garbage though. Better than a lot of the blues rock I've heard on this list. Haven't been missing much. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 41/168(24%) Will I get No.

Incredible ending.

Led Zeppelin II: a solid group of blues rock/metal tracks. It's an important record because of the influence it had on later work. I don't really like Led Zeppelin the way I did once, so I found some of it (like the vocals) a little annoying. And at this point I really don't need to hear "Whole Lotta Love" again. But I did enjoy much of it, like "Ramble On." 3/5: objectively good but not really my thing these days

Couple of good ones, overall great!

yeah it was alr

Another classic, i like the closing song a lot. A good summer album

Not really my thing nothing against it, a bit jazzy at times

41m 9 songs A lot of guitars

Haven’t heard this since high school. Thought it was mind blowing back then. Still holds up for the most part just not what I’m into anymore.

I love Robert Plant's voice. Most songs are catchy and nostalgic. "Moby Dick" is a little odd. Album would be much more enjoyable if the band had fewer disturbing sexual allegations, coupled with the sleezy lyrics featured in many of the songs.

STOP GIVING ME LED ZEPPLIN ALBUMS IVE ONLY JUST GOTTEN OVER 30 ALBUMS IN AND THIS IS MY THIRD AND I DONT LIKE THEM I don’t know if the rng hates me or is trying to get all the Zepplins out of the way so I don’t have to worry about them later. I just looked it up and there’s 5 of them. I understand they’re a classic band but they all sound the same to me. Maybe I’m ignorant on rock history but is there really enough going on here to warrant 5 of their albums? I know a decent amount of people really like them, but there are bands on this list I love that should have had less albums included. Wait this is kinda good why didn’t they just include this one. I’m not going back to this one I think but it was better.

Better, or at least more familiar, than Physical Graffiti. I felt like there was a folky foundation that I found some solace in. Like PG, the guitar is amazing throughout & the drums on Moby Dick go crazy. A solid album & I could definitely see how this is someone's cuppa.

Was zum .... Kenne nur das Flugschif Led Zepelin. Due musik ist unterschiedlich , genau so wie wahrscheinlich die Gruppe. Lässt sich hören

nice listen nothing remotely bad on this project however I’ve come to realize that bands like Led Zeppelin I don’t gravitate towards to.

Good, and I’m glad I listened to it, but not a repeat for me. I understand why people like this though!

On track for greatness but not there yet

For me, this was nearly as good as LZIV. A couple great songs on here but the rest were not for me. Top Songs: Ramble On

Fun songs, not really my typa music so I probably wouldn't listen again.

It’s a rock album unfortunately I still don’t love that genre. The lyrics and vocals just don’t call to me but other than the limitations of their area of music I love the instrumentals in this album I would give it a 4 if it was just that. Phenomenal job there.

Förra gången vi fick Zeppelin skrev jag att jag var positivt överraskad. Förväntningarna var förvisso oerhört lågt ställda men det fanns trots allt en hel del fin musik på ett allt för långt album. Det här är inte bara kortare utan även bättre. Ett skönare groove. Inte så mycket hårdrockstendenser. Sången har sina brister men den går att leva med. Allra bäst är soul-bluesiga The lemon song och den småpsykadeliska Thank you. Och så förstås John Bonhams trumspel. Bortser man från det onödiga solot på Moby Dick ger han genomgående bandet ett stadigt groove som jag gillar skarpt. Famlar mellan trean och fyran i betyg. Men principen hellre fälla än fria får gälla.

Good album, lots of energy. Not my favorite but good if I need a kick

More bluesy than I was expecting. Very Led Zeppelin though. Couple of classics, and some bluesy numbers. How many orgasms did Robert Plant have in the making of this album?

The worst and best moments of classic rock all in one album

please, robert, i dont need more inches of your love

3.4/5 decent, has some standout songs but as a whole not crazy enjoyable

a la primera escucha, la verdad me aburrió un poco. ya conocía de antes algunos temas (4/9) que son excelentes y eso creo que me jugó un poco en contra porque esperaba que el resto de temas tengan la misma fuerza pero lamentablemente me decepcionaron un poco. me gustó la crudeza de la grabación y MUY bueno igual para ser del 69!!! hace mucho que tenía pendiente escuchar a led zeppelin así q agradezco la oportunidad!! aunque los temas que yo ya conocía son clásicos del rock y son buenísimos le voy a poner 3 estrellas xq es mi gusto personal, quizás este estilo de rock no es para mí lo q no quiere decir que sea malo. igualmente es un 7/10

Not bad but not memorable for me upon first listen

Too horny.

Good album.

pretty cool

Blues rock, only so much I can take.. Thank You has some vestige of Stairway to Heaven Moby Dick is a relatively fun instrumental - oh it descends into a drum solo... Bring It On Home is remarkably similar to KGLW's Daily Blues Best track (other than Whole Lotta Love) - Thank You, Bring It On Home 3 stars

Not crazy about this tbh. It's like 70% of something

I fear that this one missed the pitchfork top 100 of the 70s for a reason. Just not nearly as interesting as 4, physical graffiti, or houses of the holy. But whole lotta love is FANTASTIC not sure I’ve ever listened past the like basic riff and chorus. Like a 3.5 for me.

Not a Led Zeppelin fan really, but this has a lot of good tracks that I continually hear on the local 'Classic Rock' station over and over and over for the past 30 years. Maybe that's why I'm not a huge fan.

not bad but definitely not really my thing, always enjoy the guitar

Some good. Some not so good.

I really did not care for Led Zeppelin I, so number 2 surprised me. The music is a lot of fun. Robert plant is still very unpleasant to listen to.

Hey guess what this exercise is telling me? I'm the only person in the world who probably liked Led Zeppelin more when they were younger. I used to be spellbound. Page was my favourite guitarist. Now even ignoring all the dodgy stuff I've learned about the band since I don't even like Page's playing that much now. Don't get me wrong, this album has loads of great stuff but I've never loved it. It doesn't hold together and - this is going to sound stupid from someone who loves prog - a fair amount is just self indulgent. Pretty damning review yet... Still 3 stars.

Rocking and rolling. Classic blues rock album with all the unmistakable elements of the Led.

3+ Stars (9/15)

Did not finish but it was pretty cool. Heavier metal than I find generally palatable but good high energy. Lots of sex talk which I find a little off putting but I guess that's one of the pillars of rock and roll.

Classic rock

Vet ikke helt om Zeppelin er for meg

Zeppelin, Zeppelin is here!

Iconic album. Some hits and some I didn’t know. Good mix of stadium rock guitar riffs with some cool psychedelic aspects in some songs, and some blues riffs in there too. Felt like a very cohesive album. I like.

Enjoyable, just was fun. Nothing much more to say. Some songs were more abstract than I expected.

Baby baby baby baby... Etc. yep, sounds like Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin were one of those bands I loved as a teen. I had lyrics to some of their songs pinned on my desk cork board. I watched the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary earlier in the year and recommend it to any fans out there. This album certainly has a few classic tracks on, but is not their best album in my mind. Tracks such as Whole Lotta Love are fantastic, but the overall album probably lands as a 3.

Fourth fav zeppelin album for me. I like 1 a lot better, but this having the same vibe still ranks it high. This is Zeppelin at 75% capacity. 7.5/10

I like that this album is less bluesy than their debut album. You can tell some of the progression. I like "What is and What Should Never Be"

Hypnotic, riffs.

Might come back to it one day

3.5/5. Cava

This record is so full of undeniably classic hard rocking riffs that I can almost forgive Robert Plant’s vocal sexual assault.

Out of I and IV that i've listened to so far, this is def the weakest one IMO. didn't grab me the same ways the others have so far. def cool parts and all. I do wonder though, what's the importance in listening to all 4 of them, it's not like they are too different from each other imo.

I would love to give this less than a three, but I cannot deny it

Definitely more hard rock reinterpretations of older blues music, but it’s done with such skill and confidence, none of this plays like plagiarism. However, like a lot of records of this era, some of this is just the live set which maybe was a satisfying listen back in the day hearing Page rip, etc, but today it’s just album filler. And then there’s the English folk stuff, which I just have never had an interest in. Also lol that pick noise in the pick-ups on Moby Dick...irritating! I'd give it a 2.5 but that's not available here.

Fun, catchy with great beats and strings

Jo, erkennbares Led Zeppelin Album, aber jetzt nicht wirklich ein 5-Sterne Album für mich

I think its a solid album but just not the best led Zeppelin album

- Bwa, zeker niet slecht. Zeker ook niet zot van. - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 1 nummer was al toegevoegd aan MMMM

Pretty good.

Rock hierarchy. You get pulled in 🤘

I like this one more than Physical Graffiti. It still had its slow, meandering parts, but I generally felt it was better.

Didn’t love it, but can’t say I hated it either

Spotify seems incapable of playing an entire album. I must heard Whole Lotta...multiple times, the rest of the album is a mystery. What I did hear reminded me of the Stones album from earlier. I can understand why drugs played a key part in this era's culture.

Classic

If someone put this on, didn’t tell you who it was, and asked you to rate it, would this be a 4.12 (current rating)? No way. This is an important record in the development of rock music, but it’s not good at all by today’s standards. Not bad either, but definitely not over 4 stars. Favorite song: living loving maid

Fumbling towards becoming who they would be, mixing up blues, folk, and rock. Some works well, and some rambles a bit

It’s another 3 from me

Good Zeppo

Sounded like all of the other Led Zeppelin albums I’ve had to listen to. I only knew Whole Lotta Love.

Really glad I listened with earbuds. +10 points for the LOTR reference. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): What Is and What Should Never Be, The Lemon Song, Heartbreaker, Ramble On ⭐⭐⭐: Liked it. Saved some tracks.

Another one I've heard a few times before. My hot Zeppelin take is that even though I-IV get most of the acclaim, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti are both better than any of them. That's not to say that I-IV are bad albums by any means, just not my favourites However, of the four "numbered" albums, II is the one that I've probably heard the least, and therefore enjoy the least, so let's see if a relisten will raise it in my estimation. My faves: Whole Lotta Love What is and What Should Never Be Thank You Heartbreaker Ramble On Bring It On Home Also good but not quite my speed: The Lemon Song Not for me: Living Loving Maid Moby Dick (controversial I know but it's essentially a glorified drum solo, and works way better in a live setting) I enjoyed this relisten more than I expected, and actually ended up adding a couple of additional songs to my playlist. I'd have to give this a solid 3/5.

Filler takes up the album but there's still some highlights. 3/5

3/5 First album from this genre, it sounded good but there were moments where I was just waiting for the song to continue. I will probably have to listen again when I have more experience with hard rock albums

Bãozin

It’s Led Zeppelin alright. Having listened to their later albums only (IV and beyond), hearing their older stuff actually makes me appreciate the new. Old Zepp still goes hard, but there’s a lack of refinement in it that’s not there in albums like IV or Physical Graffiti. You can still hear they’re a young band here but even still, they manage to hit hard. Favorite songs- Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On

This was like the other 3 Led Zeppelin albums I've heard on this list. There was the odd song where I thought "This is pretty good", but for the most part it was all very middle of the road. This album is probably the weakest of the 4. Partially because Whole Lotta Love, the main song, is such a thinly covered reference to Robert Plant's penis that it might as well be bareback. It's still just about a 3 though. Like the rest of them.

It's Zeppelin. I think anyone who likes rock music knows exactly what they're getting when they put on a Zeppelin album. My opinion - very good, but overplayed.

Listen, it’s undoubtedly really fucking good rock n roll. It’s just that I don’t really love rock n roll.

Not as good as IV.

1969 Ramble on, it certainly does... Always thought of LZ as a Greatest Hits band, this doesn't change my opinion. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ Cock rock ★★★☆☆ (6/10)

There will be occasional sparks of genius (such as the gnarly sliding guitar on Whole Lotta Love) which put me in the mind of the majority of people who adore Led Zep. There’s some very clever flourishes, bits of surprising songwriting. But at their core they make music which doesn’t appeal to my sensibilities. It’s a me thing.

this is a beast of a band i don't really care for. but for '69 it is undeniable how ahead of the times they were. even if you don't know this by name, you've heard it - radio, media, EVERYTHING. Whole Lotta Love is not theirs, Heartbreaker is theirs, so i would say this proves the era of pulling ahead of covers into the 70's and having only their own material to stand on. my dad loves this shit and i must have heard this start to finish ten times. it doesn't hit like other shit does for me, and i have tried. there is a lot goin on now that i listen to it again, and to be there would have something to do with it, being so fresh and gigantic. it is arena rock blasting blues, that's all, but that shit was an experience in 1970 and forward. they've always felt too big to care about, and you're gunna hear these songs whether you buy them or not. the takeaway of how coming-all-together-at-the-right-time-ness this has is insane. i like the first record better, and they all kinda mid out after this album, but this is my second fave of theirs and its unmistakably their absolute peak. idgaf about Stairway to Heaven, i really don't. 3/5 because i would never turn this on before LZ1.

this album feels more consistent than their other albums, not all songs are a hit for me there is a lot of miss but you can’t deny the good songs are good

This is obviously a classic, and “Whole Lotta Love” undoubtedly deserves its place in the rock canon. I wish I could hear the album as I might’ve in 1969. Fifty-plus years later, I sometimes hear excess. Does that extended guitar solo on “The Lemon Song” need to be there? What about all that dang drumming on “Moby Dick?” How many times can Robert Plant sing the word “baby?” Hmm. Anyway, thank heavens for Robert Plant’s vocals! They’re what keep me engaged. At the end of the day, I’m just more interested in what came in the wake of Led Zeppelin than in the band’s own sound. That’s my own failing, I’m sure.

You'd need a Revolver to make me listen to it again. Perhaps influential and revolutionary at the time but this ain't it fr

High bar going in. IV was a 5 in my book, we'll see where this goes. It's all going to come down to the b-sides for me, and some of the stuff I haven't heard a ton. So having listened to two zeppelin albums on this journey, the one thing that I keep coming back to is that it's all very long-winded. Both lyrically and musically. For every Living Loving Maid (2:39) there's a The Lemon Song (6:19). This isn't bad, just an observation. That said, I don't think this album is bad at all just...kinda boring? It also just makes me want to listen to the Zep songs that I like more than anything on this album (Levee, Immigrant Song, Kashmir, etc.) All around Meh for me.

It's good but I wouldnt return

Funkier than I thought it would be. Not bad. Quite catchy and cool.

I like parts of this album, like the drum solo is moby dick, but most of the time the songs are too long for their own good and Robert plant is definitely not my favorite vocalist

I’ve always been ambivalent on them

Regarded as the quintessential hard rock and heavy metal album. That’s enough to have put me off listening to it all these years, until now. I just can’t get any enjoyment from the rock screechings of Robert Plant.

some of the songs are bangers but when they start singing about lord of the rings sorry i just kinda tune out

I liked the rhythm section a lot (namely those basslines), and although I wasn’t as keen on the vocals, I had a pleasant time with this one. I can’t say I’m a massive fan of this sort of bluesy hard rock, but I also can’t say that this is bad or underwhelming music in any way. A good album but not one I plan on regularly revisiting.

another album opener i didn’t know i’d know, it’s a classic tbf not feeling this one as much as III the style of guitar doesn’t do a lot for me, it was pleasant background music and had some nice moments but i don’t care much for it either way the plucky guitar in thank you is pretty good 3 stars or 66/100 faves Thank You and Bring it on home least faves idk maybe Living Loving Maid but i don’t dislike any songs, just unenthused

Non male , 3 canzoni sono belle ,di cui una è molto molto conosciuta (whole lotta love )6,5/10

All four of the numbered albums are top class, but this is third best. Well worth your time though.

Songs are nostalgic for sure, but don’t think I had ever listened to this whole album in a sitting. There were some good grooves and some great singles but the wailing vocals could be a bit much. Overall, meh.

The first half is so good (4 stars), the second half is too experimental for me

Pretty good, just not really my thing

Some classics but not as good as I was expecting

I have no notes

It rocks. I rolled my eyes and sighed at the beginning of some tracks because if their ubiquity or obvious blues-rock formula but quickly found myself tapping my toes. Done just right. Not my fave LZ album though.

They were in the right place at the right time. Definitely some good playing from all members here but these songs haven’t aged well, they’re just ok.

My initial take after finishing this was "Wow a lot of these sounded the same..." but saw I had added half of them to a playlist on only one listen. If it ain't broke don't fix it? I think I preferred this to LZ1

Zeppelin II, a pretty good album from Led Zeppelin. Some iconic riffs on this thing, like on "Heartbreaker" which I completely forgot existed. Huge drawback though: the lyrics. Goddamn I cannot stand hearing Robert Plant "baby baby baby" his way through some of these songs. Does any woman treat this guy right?? Incredible voice, but at this point in Zepp's career he was definitely not flexing his pen game.

I would personally rate the second album lower than the first. While there wasn't any songs which were duds, it did appear like some songs got filler added in of repeated noises, etc. that kind of took you out of the song. "Whole Lotta Love" from the start was an example of this with the "breathing"ish noises in the middle of the song. I would give this a 3.5.

A few bangers on the album but I was never really a big fan of their vocals. The instrumentals and arrangements are good throughout. Standouts: Whole Lotta Love & Heartbreaker.

Finde es in Ordnung aber auch nicht mehr. Ein paar gute von ihm sind drin gibt aber lieder die ich lieber von ihm höre 3

Joar ganz ok. ging irgendwie schnell vorbei. Auch nicht so sehr mein Fall aber hat eben den klassischen Sound, den ich schon wertschätzen kann. Ich beim Kochen: "was singt er da eigentlich, sollte mal hinhören" ... - "squeeze me, baby, till the juice runs down my leg" - "... alrighty"

Classic

Not a personal fave but I see what it did for rock

Probably my least fav Led Zeppelin album, I just dont like the structure of most songs here. The musicianship is top as always.

None of these songs hit for me except one, though this is due to personal taste. Its not really my style of music

Damn I loved the first Led Zeppelin but the sequel left a lot to be desired. I think if they had spent a year working on it, it would be a lot better.

glaub no easy gsi oder? nöd vill hange bliebe – aber glaub no easy gsi oder? jaja glaub no easy gsi

alright rock album. Would sound much better on vinyl, the spotify fidelity was not enjoyably.

Eerste keer een Zeppelin album in z'n geheel geluisterd. Begint met een gniffeltje wat me meteen een fijne 'bandruimte' vibe geeft. Start erg vet en brengt veel anticipatie mee valt vrij snel in een space stuk, wel lijp om zo te beginnen. Verwachtingspatroon was meteen weg. Veel smakelijke riffs en drums. Vet om een keer de Bonham sound echt te horen. Nooit echt zin in drumsolo's doorgaans, maar 't klinkt hier allemaal wel lekker hard op de tape geknald. Lyrics niet zo meegekregen behalve veel horny gelonk, liefde en een vrij random uithaal naar Gollum die z'n chickie steelt in Mordor. Natuurlijk een enorm invloedrijke band voor alle hardere muziek to come, maar net als bij het eerste Sabbath album (minus de ultrasicke intro track 'Black Sabbath') is het me persoonlijk allemaal net te bluesy. Beste: What Is and What Should Never Be / Bring It On Home / Thank You Minste: Moby Dick Albumhoes: Mooi? Niet perse. Conceptueel wel cool. 3/5

Beginnen we oud te worden als we Led Zeppelin meer gaan waarderen? Vroeger vond ik vooral de stem onprettig om naar te luisteren, maar dat is nu wel veranderd. Het album begint al goed met whole lotta love. Ook de tussenstukken bij nummers vind ik erg fijn klinken, zoals bij lemon song met de toetsen en gitaar. All-in-all een prima toevoeging aan het repertoire.

Wel lekker.

Ik hou er wel van hoe erg het soms bijna als een live album klinkt. Buiten de hits om ken ik eigenlijk weinig van Led Zeppelin, helaas heeft het luisteren van dit album me niet echt gemotiveerd om daar veel aan te veranderen en ik weet eigenlijk niet precies waarom. Whole Lotta Love en Ramble On zijn erg tof, maar de rest van de nummers hebben me niet genoeg gepakt om dit album echt vaker dan 2x te luisteren. Er zit best wat variatie in de instrumentatie, heeft wat toffe experimentele jams en over het algemeen best wat dingen waar ik van hou. Ik denk dat het toch voornamelijk de vocals zijn waar ik op gegeven moment een beetje mee klaar ben. 3/5 geile zanger rambled on terwijl gedrogeerde band lekker hun ding doet

Robert Plant: I’m gonna give you every inch of my love Way down inside woman you need love Squeeze me, baby, til the juice runs down my leg Also Robert Plant: 'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair But Gollum and the evil one Crept up and slipped away with her Do I like this album, or have I heard these famous songs a lot? I never went through a Zeppelin phase so I don’t have the nostalgic attachment or appreciation that others have. To me this is a collection of undeniable classic hits with some filler.

When this album came up, I was excited. It's Zeppelin... I love Zeppelin... I know this album... I like this album... right? I've now listened to it 3 times and i feel pretty neutral on it. I don't hate it. But maybe i've outgrown it? 16 year old me really did enjoy this album. Maybe not as much as Led Zeppelin 4... but i do remember liking this one. And now I feel a general shrug. The guitar work is impressive... the riffs are iconic. There's a good amount of variety in the track list... it's rarely boring. The drum work is amazing (of course). The bass is coool. The lyrics are.... something. I always forget how dirty Whole Lotta Love is (it's jarring when you listen too close). I find the less I think about he lyrics on this album, the better. I really don't have many bad things to say about this album. And I have said some good things... but i'm almost numb to them? Maybe i've just been overexposed to Zeppelin over the years and they no longer feel special to me. Some of these songs have been on the radio my entire life and in movies and media, plus i had a Zeppelin phase in high school where I listened a lot. I just don't feel excited by them anymore... at least not this album. The only exception being the ending rave up bit on Lemon Song and Ramble On. Those 2 parts still rock. I'm now realizing that whenever I listen to Zeppelin these days it's normally late career stuff like Over the Hills and far away OR D'yer Mak'er or fool in the rain (my fav zeppelin song). Maybe the early stuff is just not for me anymore. Anyways, this album feels like a 2.5... but for nostalgia, i'll go 3.

not bad, some good songs

Starts experimental and chaotic. Late 60s UK rock. Greeat guitar riffs. Spacious rock songs. Some random rambling tracks, long solos.

My favorite so far from them. Opens well with 'Whole lotta love' and 'Ramble on' is a great track later on. Lots of energy from Jimmy throughout.

All the Led Zeppelin albums we've had to date have been a pleasant surprise - but for this one, which felt like the worst of all the things they get a bad rep for: histrionic blues-aping (Lemon Song), navel gazing self-seriousness (Thank You) combined with guitar & drum solo wankery (Moby Dick, Heartbreaker.) I still liked a few songs better than I expected (What Is & What Should Never Be, and Ramble On) but don't know I'd re-visit any of this but for those.

Another solid effort - every Led Zep album I've heard so far contains multiple great tracks. I was gonna say this proves (if I ever truly doubted it) that they weren't just a singles band, but then I read that they never released any singles in the UK anyway, so I guess *that* would be what proves they weren't just a singles bed.... Anyway, despite all that, what I'd consider to be the 'hits' on this album aren't among my favourites (as iconic as Whole Lotta Love is), and the deep cuts seem more 'filler-y' than usual here. 3.5 (3 for enjoyment, plus a bonus half star for importance).

mér fannst þetta reyndar bara býsna gott. er lítið fyrir zeppelin almennt. en ætla að gefa þessu annan séns. 3,5.

Musically grown up against Rockism. Not my cup of tea

Could have been a great album if they had trimmed songs lenght. Some go on far to long

Nothing special
