This is undeniably the best Led Zeppelin album, it has absolutely no filler and bullshit. I really feel like they fully discovered their sound with this album, comparing it to their first album there’s a huge difference in quality. Each song keeps me hooked easily and they all hold their own as individual tracks whilst coming together as an entire project. Each song is longer but there are less songs overall. This means every song has the opportunity to go more in depth and create moments that resonate with each listen. The tracks I wasn’t super keen on before are now some of my favourites. This feels like the rock album of all time.
