Led Zeppelin 1
Reviews How many more times can I say it...this is a classic! Rating: 5/5 In 1969, Led Zeppelin shook the music world up with their stunning debut album. The four guys that make up the legendary heroes of hard rock, better known as Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are at their finest here. Robert Plant is wailing and belting out the lyrics so powerfully, Jimmy Page rips out some heavy riffs and amazing blues solos, John Paul Jones adds some thunder and psychedelic with his bass and organ work, and John Bonham rocks his drum set like there's no tomorrow. What do these nine songs show for the world of rock and roll? Read on. "Good Times, Bad Times" starts things off with a bang, featuring an awesome riff, a fun sing-a-long chorus and Jimmy Page's signature pentatonic soloing, alongside John Bonham's amazing drumwork. "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" shows the guys going in a completely different direction. Whereas "Good Times"...was a quicker hard-rocker that went under three minutes, we have an acoustic folk song that runs well over six and a half minutes. Some nice guitar melodies by Jimmy Page and great singing by Robert Plant. The chorus of the song also explodes with some heavy drumming by John Bonham. The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. "You Shook Me" is the band's indulgent blues song that features John Paul Jones doing some incredible organ playing, along with John Bonham's signature drum work, and a Page/Plant vocal/guitar combo that goes along great, as always. "Dazed and Confused" is one of my all-time favorite Zeppelin songs. This lengthy but amazing epic starts off with one of John Paul Jones' definitive basslines, some psychedelic guitar lines and Robert Plant howling his very soul into your ears. Suddenly, the song builds up, John Bonham plays a fast drumbeat and Jimmy Page exploded into an insane guitar solo that is one of his very best. As always, more astonishing drum fills by John Bonham, cool bass playing by John Paul Jones, and the song ends on an epic note. "Your Time Is Gonna Come" once again, is a song that's the complete opposite of its previous one. Well, not complete opposite. It starts off with some nice, progressive organ playing by JPJ, then some acoustic guitar work and drums come in while Robert Plant gives us a spirited vocal performance, as always. I happen to love the chorus of this song, as it gives us a melodic, evening setting that reminds me a balladic, arena-rock sort of the chorus in a song by a band like Boston. "Black Mountain Side" is an interesting guitar piece that features some cool tablas playing to accompany it. "Communication Breakdown" is a fast-paced headbanger with a great guitar riff and bassline, along with Robert Plant wailing at the top of his lungs and John Bonham playing his drum set with power. Jimmy Page kicks out another outstanding guitar solo that's another of my favorites from him. A short but sweet rocker. "I Can't Quit You Baby" is a more dramatic blues song with some cool licks and singing that sort of contrasts with the feel-good, fast-packed predecessor of "Communication Breakdown". "How Many More Times" is the second epic of the album, and the closer, as well. A catchy bassline and some wah-wah guitar lines start us off, then Bonham pound out some great drum work and the heavy guitar riff comes in. The song drifts in and out of a sort of surreal tone with more dreamy, psychedelic guitar lines. They give the song a very lush feel. Then Robert Plant goes into some bluesy singing that he does wonderfully, and the song rocks out until its rad end. Without a doubt, this is one of Led Zeppelin's finest albums, and one of the coolest and greatest albums in all of rock music. It has certainly become a very influential album, but no matter how many bands have written and played music in the style of Led Zep, Zeppelin is Zeppelin and has always remained the classic band they are. This album is highly recommended, and I hope you love and enjoy it as much as I do. Play it loud, too! Thanks for the time, and peace.
