Amazon.co.uk Review

As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Times" into near-cartoon parodies, the band also hinted at things to come with the manic "Communication Breakdown" and the lumbering set stopper "Dazed and Confused". --Billy Altman

Customer Reviews

Best album ever (2008-08-01)

Along with Kind of Blue (Miles Davis), Follow the Reaper (Children of Bodom), and Clapton's CD with the Bluesbreakers, this is the best album ever. You should already own this. Seriously. The songs are all completely different, not a single filler track!

Rough diamond (2008-06-16)

This was the work of a band trying to find itself. Robert Plant was still finding himself as a vocalist but put in a good performance, one he would build on for future records. There aren't too many full-band compositions to speak of as the album was put together in something of a rush by Page, so apart from the covers most of the writing was his. Not that this was a bad thing, perhaps the only genuine criticism of this record is that it lacks a clear direction. Page clearly was leaning toward the Blues and yet, having only just emerged from the yardbirds, he placed a little moment of throwaway pop on here too, along with a version of a Yardbirds instrumental. Alongside the occasional pop moment and the deep blues there are, of course, two songs which some say invented punk, some say invented metal, but most say are beyond brilliant. 'Communication Breakdown' and ballsy opener 'Good Times, Bad Times' are fast paced, heavy and have incredibly energetic guitar work which many bands of the future would use as a blueprint for their entire career. The true gem here, however, is 'Dazed and Confused'. A 6-minute epic (generally stretched out to over half an hour in the live arena) of blues with what became customary Pageisms added is (the violin bow became legendary). One of the most ambitious, and one of the finest debut albums ever.

Awesome Debut there's a reason why led zeppelin are one of the most famous rock bands ever. (2008-06-07)

This album is a fantastic debut and has supposedly the first metal song ever Communication Breakdown ( which to be honest it's not metal). This album has alot of classics like Good Time The Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, You Shook Me, Dazed And Confused, Communication what am i doing the whole albums a classic. Led Zeppelinare an awesome rock n' roll band buy this album then buy Led Zeppelin 2, Led Zeppelin 3 & Led Zeppelin4 and continue on from their. LED ZEPPELIN ROCKS!!!

Spine-tingling (2007-11-27)

This is where it all started for me. The first long playing record I bought. There's not one duff track and it still sounds fresh and exhilarating, especially in this re-mastered format, as it did all those years ago. A mixture of some re-worked covers and original material, it's strongly rooted in the blues but with an electrifying rock slant. This is the daddy debut album of all time (see also "Marquee Moon" by Television). The bass is powerful and melodic, the drumming tight and thunderous, and, after the demise of the Yardbirds, Jimmy Page must have been straining at the leash to get these blistering guitar tracks down, sizzling with crackle and spit, the spontaneity of the solos - not too long, inventive - catch that strangled squeak at the end of the fast break just before it all comes crashing down into the final verse of Dazed & Confused and the tempo resumes its trance-like drone. And of course in the midst of it all, the soulful blues wail of Robert "Percy" Plant. There is nothing antique about this music. In fact, it's so warm it sounds like they're playing in your front room - I believe it took them 3 days to record - in complete contrast to the bloated old dinosaur that is Physical Graffiti (six years later), which is laboured, lumpish and far too long. The follow up album, released in the same year is almost equally as good - yawn inducing drum solo aside, de rigueur for that time - whilst the third was rather patchy, again the blues (a great performance of "Since I've Been Loving You" recorded live in the studio) but on the original second side some twee folk elements which have dated somewhat. Their fourth, much better, ruined however by the awful "Stairway to Heaven", much loved by everybody except me, guitar shop owners and the band members themselves it would seem! If we're talking ballads, I much prefer "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" from Zep I and "Thank You" from II.

Overrated to the max (2007-11-21)

Just scrapes two stars on the back of Dazed and Confused which is a great track. Rest of the album is much less impressive and in places lacklustre. Having listened to this album a number of times I am dismayed to see how it is highly rated. This album is nothing more than average blues album by a heavy rock band lacking any finesse. A listen to any Cream album shows how it should be done.At college this was doing the rounds in 69 with other debut albums by Spirit and Electric Music for the Mind and Body By Country Joe and the Fish and Jefferson Airplanes, fourth album, Crown of Creation.Consensus of opinion then put the these three discs head and shoulders above Led Zeps effort. 38 years on nothings changed.
