More of the Music of Led Zeppelin

• You’ll find solid Double Plus (A++) sound throughout this vintage copy of Zep’s final release
• It’s all here: huge amounts of rock-solid bass, grungy guitars, breathy, natural vocals, and jump-out-of-the-speakers presence and energy
• “Fool In The Rain” and “All My Love” are two of the best, and best sounding, tracks on the album
• Marks in the vinyl are sometimes the nature of the beast with these Classic Rock records – there simply is no way around them if the superior sound of vintage analog is important to you
• “The album’s opening number, ‘In the Evening,’ with its stomping rhythms and heavy, staggered riffs, suggests that Zeppelin haven’t deviated from their course, but by the time the rolling shuffle of ‘South Bound Suarez’ kicks into gear, it’s apparent that they’ve regained their sense of humor.”
• If you’re a Zep fan, this title from 1979 is surely a Must Own
• The complete list of titles from 1980 that we’ve reviewed to date can be found here.

This may not be Zep’s best album, but there are some great songs here, and the music really works when the sound is this good. (more…)
