Led Zeppelin II [Remaster] by Led Zeppelin

Pros: Nine classic rock tunes...
Cons: Not everybody owns it yet...

Led Zeppelin is the quintessential band of their era. Their music is timeless and enduring and translates just as well today as it did twenty five years ago. Most bands can only hope to achieve such transcendent fame. They represent everything that is ...

Pros: Great musicianship. Solid, classic songs. The Bass, the Bass, the Bass!!
Cons: None.

Led Zeppelin. The name is a sentence unto itself. While many bands are loosely termed as “legendary”, this band personifies it. The music this band created during the time they were together has gone down in to the annals of rock history ...

Pros: This whole album is so darn good!
Cons: This whole album is so darn good!

This is my contribution to Paul's (aka paulyoungotti) British Invasion writeoff. Enjoy the review.

This past year has been a sad one in music, especially with the deaths of famous 60s/70s rock legends such as George Harrison of...

Pros: Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, great playing and writing
Cons: Dated at times, a drum solo

On December 26, 1968, Led Zeppelin played their first concert in the United States. In January of 1969 Led Zeppelin released their blues-drenched eponymous debut and set out to conquer America with their incendiary live performances. According to some ...

Pros: a second helping of Led Zeppelin's white boy blues-rock is tighter than on debut
Cons: taking credit for songs they did not compose; the beached-whale drum solo "Moby Dick"

One thing I admire about Led Zeppelin is that in the ten years they were together they constantly updated their sound. For example, they could have easily made a career out of playing sloppy electric blues like they did on their immensely popular first ...

Pros: Macho belting, skull-cracking riffs, driving rhythms. And beautiful organ playing, courtesy of Mr. Jones.
Cons: Jimmy's sloppiest solo is on here (listen to Heartbreaker).

Hey, might as well get the Led out while Epinions is encouraging me to write a shi’iteload of reviews, right? Right. Besides, next to write-ups of rap releases, NIN albums, and Blue Oyster Cult’s self-titled debut, Zeppelin seems to enhance my income ...

Pros: "Thank You" is one of the best songs they ever made.
Cons: "Living Loving Maid" is one of the worst songs they ever made.

Led Zeppelin. For every person who thinks that they're some sort of assemblage of classic rock gods who inspire worship and "OMG STAIRWAY 2 HEAVEN IS TTLY THE BEST SONG EVAR D00D," there seems to be an equal number of people who think they're an ...

Pros: The riffs rule. Except for the generic blues ones.
Cons: The drum solo. hmemrririir!

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what they're looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Led Zeppelin's second masterpiece.
Cons: Not one!

With Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin consolidated the success of their debut and established themselves as one of the greatest bands of all-time. A hard thing to do after only two albums. But rest assured, Zeppelin does it here. The first album was...

Pros: Great performances, good solo efforts
Cons: Bye-bye to the blues?

Led Zeppelin II was released on October 22, 1969, and represented the follow-up to their debut album, Led Zeppelin. With this album, the band distanced themselves ever so slightly from their blues roots, and adopted a more mainstream, commercial style....

Pros: Drums. Guitar. Vocals. Bass. Timing. Rocking.
Cons: Ramble On's chorus. The closer is slightly dull in comparison.

Let me explain to you how I review records. Each song's track length is rounded to the closest half minute and listed as a number. For example, in Led Zeppelin II, Ramble On is 4:24, so it is put down as 4.5. Ramble On is only a ...

Pros: great guitar licks, powerhouse drumming and Robert Plant's vocals
Cons: none

Pros: Seamless flow, a live feel, and great musicianship all the way around
Cons: None that I can think of...

Most people associate Led Zeppelin with their fourth album, and while it is a truly wonderful album, ...

Pros: Zep's most accessible disc, excellent musicianship and writing
Cons: Robert Plant's macho posturing can grow stale fairly quickly

As I browsed through my still blossoming CD collection not ten minutes ago looking for some album to review, I was immediately drawn to 'Led Zeppelin II' - mainly because I've spent the last three days with it playing in my CD player on repeat for the ...

Pros: Led Zep takes us down the Path that Rocks!
Cons: not a one

Led Zeppelin were fast on their way to becoming rock's newly crowned kings by the time they released their second album in 1969. They were and still are the crowning achievement of the British hard rock scene. If Cream and The Jimi Hendrix experience ...
