Recent reviews

Probably the most forgettable Led Zeppelin album. I remember trying to force myself to listen to this in the car way back in the day. I can see why I thought that way but I definitely enjoy it way more now. Barely any of the songs have a pop structure, half of them are inspired by folk music which I never really cared too much about, especially when it’s Led Zeppelin. But I actually enjoyed it quite a bit this listen. Robert Plant is still my least favourite part about the band but the guitar just feels so authentic and alive. It feels like something you can enjoy in nature as they are very twangy and acoustic. There’s still a couple of singles I really enjoy on here such as Since I’ve been Loving You and Out on the Tiles.
