Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Times" into near-cartoon parodies, the band also hinted at things to come with the manic "Communication Breakdown" and the lumbering set stopper "Dazed and Confused". --Billy Altman Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Best album everAlong with Kind of Blue (Miles Davis), Follow the Reaper (Children of Bodom), and Clapton's CD with the Bluesbreakers, this is the best album ever. You should already own this. Seriously. The songs are all completely different, not a single filler track! Rating:  - Rough diamondThis was the work of a band trying to find itself. Robert Plant was still finding himself as a vocalist but put in a good performance, one he would build on for future records. There aren't too many full-band compositions to speak of as the album was put together in something of a rush by Page, so apart from the covers most of the writing was his. Not that this was a bad thing, perhaps the only genuine criticism of this record is that it lacks a clear direction. Page clearly was leaning toward the Blues and yet, having only just emerged from the yardbirds, he placed a little moment of throwaway pop on here too, along with a version of a Yardbirds instrumental. Alongside the occasional pop moment and the deep blues there are, of course, two songs ...

This album has alot of classics like Good Time The Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, You Shook Me, Dazed And Confused, Communication what am i doing the whole albums a classic. Led Zeppelinare an awesome rock n' roll band buy this album then buy Led Zeppelin 2, Led Zeppelin 3 & Led Zeppelin4 and continue on from their. LED ZEPPELIN ROCKS!!! Rating: - Spine-tingling This is where it all started for me. The first long playing record I bought. There's not one duff track and it still sounds fresh and exhilarating, especially in this re-mastered format, as it did all those years ago. A mixture of some re-worked covers and original material, it's strongly rooted in the blues but with an electrifying rock slant. This is the daddy debut album of all time (see also "Marquee Moon" by Television). The bass is powerful and melodic, the drumming tight and thunderous, and, after the demise of the Yardbirds, Jimmy Page must have been straining at the leash to get these blistering guitar tracks down, sizzling with crackle and spit, the spontaneity of the solos - not too long, inventive - catch that strangled squeak at the ... Read More: Rating: - Led not Lead, Blues not MetalSo Jimmy Page's New Yardbirds - are they any good? Well yes you'll hear more about them I'm sure. Eric Clapton famously left the Yardbirds as they were too poppy and not bluesy enough. Ironic then that from the ashes of the Yardbirds - LZ toured Scandanavia as the new Yardbirds as a contractural obligation - the greatest blues rock band of them all took flight, and Clapton never made abluesier record than this. The debut album must have been a punch in the guts to any first time listener in 1969. The intensity and virtuosity of the band which went on to conquer the world are incredible when you consider they were two session musicians and two jobbing musicians from the West Midlands, but what sets them apart is the obvious chemistry ...
