Also known as the "rune" album or Zoso because of the medieval symbols adorning the inner sleeve, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks like "Black Dog," "Misty Mountain Hop," and "Rock and Roll," the combination of Robert Plant's banshee wails and Jimmy Page's frenetic guitar playing forever altered the stylistic bent of hard rock music. And the foreboding "When the Levee Breaks" demonstrated that Zeppelin could indeed play the blues fairly straight if they so desired. Still, everything here ultimately took a back seat to the album's (and, ultimately, the band's) magnum opus--the expertly constructed and deftly executed classic, "Stairway to Heaven." --Billy Altman |

Jimmy Page was a top London studio guitarist before he got rich and famous as the musical leader of Led Zeppelin. The group's fourth--and arguably their finest--album is as much a tribute to his technique as a monument to his versatility. Page produced the album, co-wrote all eight songs, and played mandolin as well as all the guitars. Musically, this 1971 disc ranges from acoustic English folke ("Goin' to California" and "The Battle of Evermore," the latter featuring the late Fairport Convention frontwoman Sandy Denny) to bone-crushing, bluesy riff-slinging. On the album's centerpiece, "Stairway to Heaven," these light and dark strains are dramatically intertwined. The chiming "Four Sticks" aside, it's the Little Richard-inspired "Rock and Roll" and the tricky time changes--a Zeppelin trademark--of the fast-and-furious "Black Dog" that elevate this album into more than just a bustle in aspiring guitarists' hedgerows. --Don Waller |

one of the best Zepplin recordings! |
|
purchased this in vinyl format when at first release. Saw the show at Madision Sq Garden both nights, "Song Remains the Same". If you love Led Zepplin then the remastered version is one for your collection. I'm glad Jimmy Page gave his blessing on the remix. Well done all around..... |

The kids just don't get it |
|
It's amazing to me how the kids react to the music which is the foundation of their own. The younger generations just don't get it. If you place this music in the context and period which is was created then you may understand the greatness of this record. It still shines today as being innovative and provocative. These guys invented heavy metal. Their would be no mosh pits hadn't it been for Led Zeppelin. Youngsters, keep listening so that your ears may evolve beyond the barrage of marketing tactics of today which have you all in the pockets of capitalists. |

This is rock? LOL! |
|
I can't believe you people think this is good music. Led Zeppelin were just a bunch of druggies who made music to get with groupies. All of their songs sound exactly the same, too. Try some REAL rock, like Limp Bizkit. They created hard rock! |

Like it needs to be said again. |
Classic rock and roll at it's all time greatest. Including songs that many would say are the best ever recorded,including my self.
A timeless masterpiece that I will enjoy until I die. |

MP3 Album NOT The Remastered Version! |
|
Beware that the MP3 album for sale here is NOT the remastered version, even though it's linked to the remastered CD version on the amazon site. I discovered this after purchasing and listening to it. The audio is muddy and full of dropouts, and basically sounds like an old audio cassette. This is why it's only $8. |
