Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but a great one to be sure.
The best post Beatles release there is.
"Let Me Roll It" is maybe Paul's best song and there are like 4 other certified hits on here. Great album
This was a weird one for me. The more I listened to it, the more I liked it, but I doubt I’ll come back to it.
At the start of most songs, I’d think it wasn’t for me but by the halfway point I was almost always on board.
In another life I’d give it 4-5 more listens and let it grow on me, but I just don’t have that kind of time anymore, so here we are.
They’ve always been more of a singles group for me and this album doesn’t change much. “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Ms. Jackson” are all time smash hits and there’s a few other good tracks here as well, but also some clunkers. Couldn’t care less about the interludes.
The list of live albums that I enjoy enough to listen to regularly (or even semi-regularly) is very small.
I enjoyed this well enough, but the odds of me ever listening to it again are so slim that I'm hesitant to give it more than 3 stars.
"You Don't Love Me" was my favorite track and that one might get some play, but as a whole, I'll probably leave this one behind.
3.5 Stars.
This one is interesting. It’s, all at once, of its time and ahead of it. At turns, it sounds like who Pink Floyd becomes and also sometimes like the Beatles. Plus there’s that weird Austin Powers number at track two.
Overall a good debut, but not nearly there best.
3.5 stars. It’s not bad, but this version of early 90s, West cost gangster rap has never been my favorite.
The songs I already knew remain the highlights. The rest is whatever
I'm kinda shocked at how much I liked this album. I've never really gotten into Elliott Smith and had pretty much written him off. Couldn't name a song by him. Apparently I listened to one of his albums last year, but it must not have left an impression.
I think I'll actually come back to this one. Lots of Beatles influence throughout this album which is cool.
A pleasantly surprised 4 stars here.
4 Stars. Always liked this one. You know the hits. The rest are good too
2.5 Stars
Mostly a yawn for me. Just not really my thing. I enjoy electronic music, but usually from a different lane.
"Science Friction" and "Quality Seconds" were the only tracks I was into - it gets a star for each (and a half for bits of the last couple tracks), but I doubt I'm coming back to it.
2.5 Stars - We've got one pretty good song and a bunch of inoffensive songs I'll never listen to again. Just not my thing
4+ stars - I know this is the consensus "best" album from the band (and it's great!), but I've always enjoyed Nevermind more.
2.5 Stars - Just not into it. A few good songs, but nothing I'm necessarily drawn back to.
Great album from a band that’s generally singles only for me.
You’re listening for the bass lines and guitar riffs more than anything else.
“I Could Have Lied” is the unexpected stand out for me
The definition of a “greatest hits” band for me. I almost never listen to a full album, but this is great. And there are a handful of tracks that I can’t ever recall listening to that I love.
“‘39”….are you kidding me?! How was that not a hit??
And then you have 2 of the all time greatest hits from any band in “You’re My Best Friend” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”
4.5 stars
The first 5 star album so far....
More than half the album consists of songs that most people know and love. And the other songs are also great!
What more are you looking for?
3 Stars
Nothing wrong with this, but it's not for me.
It's fine.
