I actually am couple of hours late(I posted it about 7 days and 5 hours ago), but nevertheless shadow hasn't recommended a album yet. This time I decided to review every track by itself, some notes about them.
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IVBlack Dog - This is one of the two songs that I've heard before, the other is StH of course. It was a great song to start the album, but wasn't very fond of the Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. part. Other than that one of the best song on the album.
Rock and Roll - Not as good as Black Dog, but still not bad song. The musical part of the song reminds me a little of older rock music, what was made decade or two before. Slows down the album a bit, but not by much.
Battle of Evermore - Start of the song is quite interesting. The more I listened to it, the better it got, but not exactly my cup of tea.
Stairway to Heaven - It's not easy to make a GOOD 8 minute song, so that you would want to listen every second of it. But it's not just good, it's great. The guitar - great, vocals - great, drums - great, other aspects - great, and in total it makes a great(if not brilliant) song. You could just listen the guitar part, you would still enjoy it, you could just listen the vocals, you would still enjoy it. I love how they have set up the pace, how it gets faster and faster. Especially on two occasions, first:
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow..., second:
Your head is humming and it won't go.... Well the second is right after the first, but nevertheless. And even more it sounds backwards better than quite a few nowadays songs. Like many other rock songs, this sounds A LOT(in my opinion) better in live than in album version, but not a big surprise there. Especially I love
this version. When I first listened to it, it didn't strike to me as a special song, because I didn't really pay attention to what I was hearing. This isn't very good as a background music, you gotta really listen to it to get how good the song really is. I dare to say that it belongs to my top 10 songs of all time.
Misty Mountain Hop - After Stairway to Heaven, you obviously think that it would be getting worse, slowing down, but it doesn't as much as I excepted. Good song to continue the album. Maybe if I would listen to it more, it would get annoying, but right now lovin' it. Not a ordinary song.
Four Sticks - Definitely not the best track on album, but it still deserves a place on this album.
Going to California - One of my favourite tracks on this album, again not a ordinary song.
When the Levee Breaks - Not a bad track to end the album, but unlike StH, it was little too long.
Favourite Songs: Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Going to California
Least Favourite: Rock and Roll, Four Sticks
Overall rating: 8,5/10
Jae, I have a very strange taste in music, my favourite band/artist is Linkin Park, but I also really like Lupe Fiasco, 2 Pac, AC/DC, random rock/hip-hop artists/tracks. Speaking of genres, rock comes as first, then hip-hop, then the rest of the stuff(which I listen to actually quite often). Lately I have been listening more of older rock, AC/DC the most. I have to agree you on that, the more I listen to it, the less I like it. Even for Stairway to Heaven, I can listen to it max. three times in a row, but after that something starts to bother, but after some time, I do it again. By the way, when I started this post you hadn't posted that.
I couldn't understand a word of it, if it was any more pretentious it would've started jerking off over its own reflection, so it doesn't really help me out at all. If anything it confuses me more because I fail to see how an album like that can make someone feel that way.
I don't want to be kicked out!
