Description

LED ZEPPELIN III is the sound of rock's brash enfants terrible beginning to mature. While the take-no-prisoners blues-rock of the first two albums is still prominent in the band'stool box, other implements are beginning to appear. The delicate acoustic whispers that would run through much of ZEPPELIN IV have their folk/blues antecedents here (the lambent "That's the Way", the earthy "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp"), the resultsof the band's creative encampment in a woodland dwelling. At the same time, the heavier tracks are unprecedented in their ferocious swagger. Robert Plant's bone-chilling battle cry and the band's savage riffing on "The Immigrant Song" do full justice to the song's Viking imagery, and it's easy to believe that the "hammer of the gods" Plant sings about is being swung straight in your direction.

Customer Reviews

Great stuff from the rock legends (2008-03-22)

Really liked this album. I've always really liked Zeppelins well known classics while growing up but never really was a die hard fan. Now exploring some of their works this is one of the greats. Songs have some great catchy riffs and Plant really does the music justice as does Page for his guitar playing and production.....You won't be dissapointed.

Pastoral interlude (2007-12-21)

Page conceived as Zeppelin as like a rock version of british folk groups such as Pentangle and Fairport Convention. This is a very british rock album. Immigrant song is the most urgent and immediate song Zeppelin ever wrote - a showcase for Plant's banshee wail and Bonham's drum storm. Subject matter: the Viking invasions. Indeed, Zeppelin have delved into deeper and older subject matter than the first two albums. Running like a thred throughout Zeppelin's albums is a hint of older, darker, mythical subjects - like the writing of D.H.Lawrence in a rock equivalent. Here, we have the traditional acoustic hangman song 'Gallows Pole' souped up and worked into one of their best performances on record. Elsewhere, we have Plant offering his 'coming of age as a writer' song 'That's the way' - delicate, sensitively played, hymnal and extremely soothing - gently discussing the life/death/fragility of life balance with some lovely turns of phrase, 'and yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers and weren't those tears that formed your eyes'. The tour-de-force and centrepiece of the album is 'Since I've been loving you' - dark, bluesy, with a benchmark Page solo, Jones's meandering organ and a brilliant performance from Plant. It's possibly the most impassioned performance by Zeppelin on record. The whole record is beautifully produced and gradually segues from prototype Heavy Metal (Immigrant song) to the pastoral moments of the second side of the original album - the impact is losts omewhat by the advent of the CD and not physically turning over the record from heavy to light, rock to acoustic. For me, it's the best all round showcase of Zeppelin in a single album, and a high water mark before the later excesses on Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffitti.

Buy it! Listen to it! Love it! Listen to it again! Love it even more! (2007-12-18)

For my money this is the best of Led Zeppelin's albums.I loved it when it came out and bought it on CD wondering if it would posses the same magic for me. As soon as it started playing I was hooked right back to when I was in my teens.This is an excellent album especially good for playing loud in the car!! I defy anyone to not like Tangerine, Immigration Song or Since I've Been Loving You. This album has it all: hard rock, blues and folk.

The Best Zeppelin Album ? (2007-12-13)

.....well, it's obviously a matter of opinion ! This is, in my opinion, the best Led Zeppelin album. I recently bought this on CD after spending many years of wearing the vinyl version out. Every track is a gem, with my personal favourites being Gallows Pole, Since I've Been Loving you, and Out On The Tiles. A truly remarkable album from the greatest band ever.

A new begining (2007-12-09)

Can you imagine a young rock band blazing their way round the world riding high on the spines of two gold selling albums , Playing live to millions of people sometimes on stage for over three hours.trashing hotels , then out of the blue news seeps through that the group are going to start the 3rd album by retreating to a little cottage in South Wales!! .Well what was it going to be like?. every idea and more came to mind but,, on release and with hindsight, it was and still is the progression of the said group! It may have all gone wrong if the album had been long rock numbers sprinkled with a couple of acoustic songs .then a zeppelin 2 repeat would be upon us. It didnt happen Zep 3 is the next level, an acoustic almost folk at times but played and produced perfectly .The rock songs are at the edges holding all this together Superb album witch over the years stands Loud and Proud Tangerine is beautiful !
