Amazon.co.uk Review
Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta Love", a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic "Heartbreaker", propelled by far more intricate but similarly effective note squashing. Between Page's sonic wizardry, John Bonham beating his drums into submission ("Moby Dick"), and the juice running down Robert Plant's leg ("The Lemon Song"), Led Zeppelin here just about succeeded in raising rock & roll excess to an art form. --Billy Altman

A last !! A band that can compete with The Who November 12, 2008
I found this album in my dad's collection and decided to whack it on my ipod. I'd heard good things about them from other people at school and they weren't lying.
The band are awesome. Great vocals and really good guitar. I love the bass and i think John Bonham is a brilliant drummer (Listen to Moby Dick & Stairway to Heaven). Personally i think Keith Moon is better.
There are loads of great tracks on this album. Everyone will recognise whole lotta love from a certain tv programme!! There's also 'What is and what should never be', Moby Dick, Heartbreaker ..... there isnt really a weak song.
A great album, but nothing compares to The Who. Defo 5/5. It would be in my top ten
Fantastic Album July 30, 2008
Led Zeppelin II is the definitive Led Zeppelin album for anyone who discovers this band today, the Untitled Fourth Album owes a lot to what was created on this record. Led Zeppelin II is the bluesy side to Zeppelin, a fitting tribute to their delta blues roots - which continued in IV. This album begs to be listened to.
The Greatest Of Them All! April 1, 2008
This has to be the greatest Led Zeppelin album EVER!
From start to finish the whole album is filled with the greatest classic hard rock you will ever know.
If you are a very big music fan and don't have this in your collection then you are not as big music fan than you thought! This album is as pure and raw sounds.
Don't miss out. If you are new to Led Zeppelin this is the album to go for!
Whole lotta love - A classic riff which most people know from the Top Of the Pops old music theme, still a fantastic track with a killer of a guitar solo near the end.
I have left a few review on my favourite tracks. I must say all tracks are fantastic these are just ones that can'tbe missed!
What is and what should never be - First time I heard this it blew my mind, starts off slow and gets a little harder in true Led Zepp style.
Lemon song - This track has to be in my top 5 greatest Led Zeppelin tracks, you get a nice breakdown with a fantastic moving bass line. Must check this one out!
Livin' lovin' maid (she's just a woman) - Such a great upbeat track, great riffs and guitar solo's.
Moby dick - Any drummers? you must try out the over 1 minute drum solo in this track, amazing to say the least!
Bring it on home - Starts off nice and mellow, then kicks in one of my favourite Zeppelin riffs!
This does it for me! December 10, 2007

This is my favourite Zep album. Pure and simple - it does everything. These musicians had devils and angels on their side when they were at the top of their game - this album is the proof. Listen to John Paul Jones's bass on 'Lemon Song', Plant's tenderness on 'Thank You' and his wondrous howls in 'Whole Lotta Love, Bonham's ridiculous virtuousity on 'Moby Dick' and Page presiding over all over matters with that arrogant brilliance we love him for.
If you invest in one other Zep album apart from No:4, make it this one. But for me, No:2 is where the Zep showed class and brilliance.
Probably the best rock album December 5, 2007

Unbelievably it is 38yrs old.
A masterclass in drumming and guitar playing; outstanding vocals, bass, songwriting and arranging.Often copied but never bettered in my humble opinion.
