5 stars I'm always amazed this album isn't rated higher. It's almost a lost classic waiting to be re-discovered. It's one of the best albums from 1982, it's Plant's first and best album, and sounds more like classic Zeppelin than CODA or IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR did. Most of these songs got all kinds of airplay on American radio stations at the time, and the ones that didn't are arguably the best on the album, i.e. "Slow Dancer," "Moonlight in Samosa," and "Like I've Never Been Gone."

By contrast, I always found the next Plant album (THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS) to be a major disapointment, and nearly unlistenable save for two masterpieces, "Big Log" and "In the Mood." Yet so many rate it higher than PICTURES AT ELEVEN. Never got it. Still don't.
