Free Music Notes for The Song Remains The Same (Remastered / Expanded) (2CD)
Free Music Review: Led Zeppelin in all their glory
Hit: 5 Stars
A good example of the band in their hey day. After viewing the movie of the same title, I can visualize the band as they perform all of their hits. Some of the early as well as the later songs are on these CDs. A good example of the reason they were so popular. Would recommend to any Zepp fans or others who only know of the band by name.Free Music Review: Great sound, great album
Hit: 5 Stars
I had forgotten how great this album is, hadn't heard the whole thing in years.
The re-mastered version sounds great & it's definitely worth having.
Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won (a set of re-mastered live recordings that were released
in 2003 or 2004) is also great and worth having if you're a zep fan.
Free Music Review: Flawless, live performances.
Hit: 5 Stars
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are at their peak on the performances recorded here. Led Zep is one of those rare groups that is as excellent in the studio as they are live. This and 'How The West Was Won' give the listener a real sense of what they were about as a live group, but this two CD set is perfection beyond their greatness. They were and still remain the greatest rock group ever.Free Music Review: Shockingly the song does NOT remain the same.....
Hit: 5 Stars
The truly shocking thing here is that those (like me) who know every note of the oringinal TSRTS soundtrack will instantly notice that this is NOT a remaster. Many of the songs are completely different performances. If you were a novice listener to original soundtrack, you will likely not notice any difference. But for the expert, the differences are readily apparent throughout. Many little nuggets are now gone ...
I would have preferred them keeping the same performances. But it is still beyond great. Beyond REALLY great, in fact. And they added so much more material not originally included.
Bottom line: BEYOND AWESOME. I am a hardcore Zep fan from wayyyyy back. And this is my favorite Led Zep album of all time. Yes, it is that good. It deserves six stars.
Free Music Review: Disappointing
Hit: 2 Stars
I am stuck with a CD I don't want! I thought it would be cool to have a few new tunes added to the original 1976 release, but I did not know that the original songs would be edited. What a ghastly mistake, Jimmy! I should've read the reviews before buying so that I could've avoided wasting money on this disc. I was crushed to hear my favorite track, "No Quarter", edited. Worse, it seems that Jimmy Page wanted to showcase his guitar work over the rest of the band. Some of the others' contributions are either missing or are drowned out by an over-amplified guitar.
The production quality is better? Well, so what? I wanted the experience of the original recording, which means I must shell out more money to get the original. Was that the idea?
If you liked the original "The Song Remains The Same" from 1976, don't waste your money on this new release. You will be disappointed no matter how many people praise the sound quality.
