LED ZEPPELIN

4.5 stars. Possibly the greatest debut album of all time. Each song has an energy and a hook. "Good Times Bad Times" starts off rocking and sets the mood for the rest of the album. There is an easily recognizable blues influence as well as hard rock. Some of the songs are covers but they're done well.

"Dazed and Confused" and "How Many More Times' are among Led Zeppelin's best work. They're both heavy and multi-layered tracks. The experimentation was also there from the beginning with "Black Mountain Side". This debut signified everything Led Zeppelin was about. They would go on to make better ones in the future but this record was a high point early on in their career. A monumental record. Too bad critics at the time couldn't see that.
