Free Music Review: Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is one of the greatest ever made by Led Zeppelin. All the songs are memorable and will be always remembered by you. I want to be laconic here: for peole already knowing this album, there is no need to explain how great Stairway to Heaven or The Battle of Evermore are. For those who have never heard about it, definitely try it, there is almost 100% you wil love it and preserve it always in your colection of music. Wonderful!Free Music Review: Grass for sheep
Hit: 1 Stars
I tried eating a grass stalk when I was a kid. It was horrible. I tried getting into this album as well. It was horrible too. But it's popular with the masses in need of shearing who don't like to think for themselves and buy it because others are buying it too. Baaa.Free Music Review: Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a masterpiece. By far Led's best studio album. "Stairway" is such a phenomenal record, it catapulted them to superstardom and just what rock music needed, a hard blues band to pick up where the beatles left off around 1970. I'm a die hard Beatles fan and the only album that can compete with their best (sgt. pepper, abby road, revolver) in terms of song writing is this one, and that's saying a lot. Besides "Stairway" which is in it's own category the 2 songs that absolutely make this album are "Misty Mountain Hop" and When the Levee Breaks." Page is a genious!! If you don't have this album, you don't understand truly understand music.Free Music Review: Great album
Hit: 4 Stars
Great album, but I just wasn't feeling some songs.
Album opens up great with "Black Dog" and ends even better with "When the levy breaks".
"Going to California" is probably the better song throughout the cd...
Definitely a must-have album.
Free Music Review: Masterful
Hit: 5 Stars
Many consider this to be Led Zeppelin's greatest album (and, perhaps, the greatest album ever). While I disagree, it is an amazing composition. While not so wonderfully experimental and epic in length as Physical Graffiti, it is, pound for pound, the strongest of Zep's efforts (note: this doesn't mean it's my favorite).
Every song on this album is an instant classic, from the back and forth calling of voice and guitar in "Black Dog," to the driving riff rocker "Rock and Roll," and on and on, every song here is in top form, to the more delicate and atmospheric "The Battle of Evermore," and the blues classic-gone-heavy "When the Levee Breaks." It's all great.
Of course, no review is complete without mentioning "Stairway to Heaven," possibly Zep's most famous song, but to say that that one piece defines this album is to have a very limited understanding of the albums magnificence. "Stairway" is great, if overplayed, but the greatest albums aren't based on the quality of their "hits" but on that of their in-betweens. While hits may create album sales, its the overall quality of each and every song that makes an album worth repeated listens, rather than listening with frequent visits to the skip button.
The quality of the album can be thought of thusly: "Stairway" would make a nearly perfect album closer on a (classic) hard rock album. It's nearly eight minutes makes it epic in length, it is varied in its style from soft and vocal driven with an almost tender guitar part, to hard with a killer solo and rougher, louder vocals, and it's generally a well written and played piece of music. It is everything one could want in an album closer to leave a strong and lasting impression on listeners. But on Led Zeppelin [IV], it's the midpoint. The album returns straightaway to a hard rockin' effort on "Misty Mountain Hop"
There's really not enough good I can say about this album. In my youth, I resisted Zeppelin. I didn't even give them a fair shake until I was a bit older. And, as someone who still resists most mainstream music (at least current mainstream music), I can sympathize with anyone who resists the garbage that the music industry wants to force feed us. But when I finally listened, I immediately understood why Zeppelin had such appeal...they're damned fine musicians! This isn't the typical garbage of the mainstream, but a band that was so good that their unique approach to rock n' roll BECAME the mainstream.
Great album!
