4 stars The most overrated Led Zeppelin album of them all.

Think of it: It's a double album, one of the best double albums out there; but that's because it's ultra hard to create a really great double album. Is it so majestic as IV? No. Is it so unbelievably tight as their debut? No.

It's definitely a truly great, challenging album with some monumental songs (Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, The Rover, In My Time Of Dying to name a few) that any music lover should own. The production is fantastic too, and the artwork is brilliant.

I strongly believe, though, that it should be classified along Led Zeppelin II in the four stars spectrum, and just half a step behind it.

To sum it up, Physical Graffiti this is the fourth best Led Zep album behind I, IV and II.

P.S. Custard Pie is one of the most overrated Led Zep songs too. OK, it's "catchy", but how many better songs in that style have they wrote? Plenty!
