Lot of ups and downs on this album. I love Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You and Dazed and Confused (though listening to Robert Plant jizz in my headphones has never not been awkward), and Communication Breakdown. Rest of the album is decent. I'm rarely in an entire album of Led Zeppelin mood anymore, but would probably give this another whirl some day.
Good album, but lingers in the blues-y stuff a bit too much for me. Good debut for sure though. I just prefer later albums more. 3.49/5
I think I mentioned this when we did the last Zeppelin album, but they were one of my first musical obsessions. And the first album is probably still my favorite. I understand the criticisms, most of them are valid, but it’s still so good. A
