4 stars You need coolin', baby im not foolin'.

Zeps second album is full of good and filler tracks, which makes it hard to review. There is of course one classic on the album, the opener "Whole Lotta Love" which probably has immortalized itself as one of the all time best rock songs. Then there are few good bluesy tunes, like "What is and What should never be" and "The Lemon Song" to name the best ones. There's also the super drum solo by bonzo Bonham, which probably goes into the most hardcore drumming top 10 list easily, but musically, i tend to skip this track when listening to the album, as the song fails to be meant for anything else than live jam. The song that really makes this album a four star for me is the track "Thank You". To me, it's Zeps most beautiful performance ever, and beats of competition from "Rain song" and "Stairway to Heaven" to name a few.

This album, unlike the debut album, lacks consistency, but then again there are 2 tracks that are better than any on the debut album, so it's a hard pick, but for me Zeps second album is "only" worth four stars. Great Album.
