Music reviews of Houses of the HolyMusic Review: How do you follow up the biggest rock record of all time?Led Zeppelin answered that question correctly: Houses of the Holy. One can only imagine the pressure they must have felt as a band coming off of Led Zep IV. Surely realizing that cracking more thunder than IV was going to be an impossibility at that point (a feat accomplished on their next album), would they take things down a notch and relax? Get all progressive and experimental? Have a laugh and not take it all so seriously? Write a ballad???? Led Zeppelin could have gone any of those routes and when all was said and done...they took them all. Starting off with a song unlike any they had ever written before, the ironically titled The Song Remains the Same ushered in a Zeppelin free from any perceived chains they may have been shackled with. Frenetic, rollicking, lush, and dreamy, this was progress. The humor, breeziness and just plain fun of tracks like Over the Hills and Far Away, The Crunge, Dancing Days, and D'yer Mak'er could also be considered progress for such an oh so heavy band. Some may argue that writing a ballad this far into a career was a step back, but even on first listen to Rain Song you can't help but fall for its heart on sleeve romanticism completely. But all of this would not even be possible without the album's true keystone: No Quarter. One of those rare songs with actual transporting and time travel capabilities - while listening you will surely feel yourself trudging uphill in a frozen tundra, ready for battles to the death with the faceless hordes offering, nor accepting mercy of any sort. Yeah, it's a bada** tune, alright. Ending on the perfect note with a sincere thank you to eachother and their sea of fans, The Ocean both closes one chapter and opens another in the career of this totally awesome band. But not even this would prepare people for the double dirty mind bending sexy beast that lie just around the corner...
