 a truly great album September 19, 2008
I bought this album as a teenager in the 70's and never felt it was one of zeps greatest albums compared to Physical Graffiti and vol4 so unfortunately it was the last of the remasters that I bought. Having listened to it a couple of times it has quickly become one of my favourates. Its understated beauty really hit me and touched me particularly "tangerine" and the really beautiful "thats the way". Pity the packaging doesnt reflect the curiosity of the original LP cover. Buy it and enjoy!
 Great stuff from the rock legends March 22, 2008
Really liked this album. I've always really liked Zeppelins well known classics while growing up but never really was a die hard fan. Now exploring some of their works this is one of the greats. Songs have some great catchy riffs and Plant really does the music justice as does Page for his guitar playing and production.....
You won't be dissapointed.

Page conceived as Zeppelin as like a rock version of british folk groups such as Pentangle and Fairport Convention. This is a very british rock album. Immigrant song is the most urgent and immediate song Zeppelin ever wrote - a showcase for Plant's banshee wail and Bonham's drum storm. Subject matter: the Viking invasions. Indeed, Zeppelin have delved into deeper and older subject matter than the first two albums. Running like a thred throughout Zeppelin's albums is a hint of older, darker, mythical subjects - like the writing of D.H.Lawrence in a rock equivalent. Here, we have the traditional acoustic hangman song 'Gallows Pole' souped up and worked into one of their best performances on record. Elsewhere, we have Plant offering his 'coming of age as a writer' song 'That's the way' - delicate, sensitively played, hymnal and extremely soothing - gently discussing the life/death/fragility of life balance with some lovely turns of phrase, 'and yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers and weren't those tears that formed your eyes'. The tour-de-force and centrepiece of the album is 'Since I've been loving you' - dark, bluesy, with a benchmark Page solo, Jones's meandering organ and a brilliant performance from Plant. It's possibly the most impassioned performance by Zeppelin on record. The whole record is beautifully produced and gradually segues from prototype Heavy Metal (Immigrant song) to the pastoral moments of the second side of the original album - the impact is losts omewhat by the advent of the CD and not physically turning over the record from heavy to light, rock to acoustic. For me, it's the best all round showcase of Zeppelin in a single album, and a high water mark before the later excesses on Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffitti.
Buy it! Listen to it! Love it! Listen to it again! Love it even more! December 18, 2007

For my money this is the best of Led Zeppelin's albums.I loved it when it came out and bought it on CD wondering if it would posses the same magic for me. As soon as it started playing I was hooked right back to when I was in my teens.This is an excellent album especially good for playing loud in the car!! I defy anyone to not like Tangerine, Immigration Song or Since I've Been Loving You. This album has it all: hard rock, blues and folk.
The Best Zeppelin Album ? December 13, 2007

.....well, it's obviously a matter of opinion ! This is, in my opinion, the best Led Zeppelin album. I recently bought this on CD after spending many years of wearing the vinyl version out. Every track is a gem, with my personal favourites being Gallows Pole, Since I've Been Loving you, and Out On The Tiles. A truly remarkable album from the greatest band ever.
