Customer Reviews for Led Zeppelin 1
Great Album - Missing a Track in the Mix
Rating:
This is undoubtably one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Every song is a classic. The only reason for 4 stars is a bad mix on "How Many More Times". One track is missing which is lead from Jimmy - a serious omission in my opinion. Makes potentially the best song on the album incomplete.

Rating:
When the Yardbirds fell apart, Jimmy Page was left holding the bag, including unfulfilled concert commitments. He knew exactly what he wanted for the new group to be formed in its wake: hit-'em-over-the-head, eyeball-crossing, deafening blues-rock, all the rage circa 1968, taken to a new level. To this end were recruited bassist John Paul Jones, over-the-top drummer John Bonham, and a relatively-unknown frontman named Robert Plant, capable of screeching like a dozen banshees on acid. He also knew precisely how to put over his new group (eventually named Led Zeppelin, courtesy of the Who's Keith Moon and John Entwhistle): tour heavily before the release of the initial album, thereby pre-selling it to a slavering public.
When that album was finally released in January, 1969, it delivered--in spades. Forty years on, it still delivers. Lacking the complexity, both instrumentally and lyrically, of the group's later efforts, this record, from the opening "Good Times Bad Times" to the concluding "How Many More Times", maintains its intensity throughout. Familiar blues phrases are wailed like air-raid sirens. Old blues themes are re-energized at ear-splitting volume. This band would go on to, arguably, greater things, but it never made a better LP.
