OUGGHHHH BASELINES. as a bassist myself, if a song has a good bass-line, it's a good song in my book. this album is chock full of interesting riffs that I'm itching to pick up. this wasn't the golden era of Zeppelin by any means but this album holds up very well on its own. the riffs are decently repetitive and simple but the frequent guitar licks and cycling of techniques definitely make up for it. i can't speak for the difficulty of the guitar parts but people don't make a guitar scream as well as Page could. the lyrics are every bit as hopeless and grungy as you'd expect for a rock 'n' roll band in the mid 70s. drugs and Jesus. rock on.
