Music reviews of Led Zeppelin 1
Music Review: Babe, I'm Never Gonna Leave You
Rating: 5 Stars
This has got to be the best album I have. I am not someone who judges music by what is popular, far from it. I listen to what I like. If other people like it, good for them. If not, that can go...you get the point.
Feel free to skip past this part, its just about how I acquired my first Led Zeppelin album and got into the band.
Once upon a time, sat a boy without musical direction. This boy recently received Metallica's album "Load". That boy was intrigued by the guitar, and told his dad he really liked guitar. His dad brought him down to the local Sam Goody. For those of you who are slow, that kid was me. My dad took me to the Led Zeppelin section, and I browsed through the albums. I grabbed Led Zeppelin ZOSO/IV because it had Stairway to Heaven, which I heard was the biggest song of the 70s. My dad put it back down, and picked up Led Zeppelin I. He said this IS Led Zeppelin. So...out to the car, in goes the cd. At first, I didn't care for it much. At the time, the only music I listened to was Linkin Park and a bit of Metallica. Pretty poor tastes, in my opinion. But after a while, it started to grow on me. I loved You Shook Me, but Dazed and Confused was the song I really loved. I listened more, and eventually went and bought Led Zeppelin II. I loved that album, and at first liked it better than Led Zeppelin I. I proceeded to get the other albums, and eventually got Led Zeppelin I - In Through the Out Door, and How the West Was Won. After listening to all of those continually (I listen when I work out, which is a lot) I discovered that Led Zeppelin I was a lot better. It was raw...pure blues rock. I'll actually start rating these songs for you, enough ranting, ha.
The album starts off with Good Times Bad Times. A great song, its definately hard to beat. The only opener that can beat this baby is Achilles Last Stand and Whole Lotta Love. You definately find what the band is about in this track. "In the days of my youth, I was told what it ment to be a man" and so forth. Good singing by Robert Plant. The song goes on for a bit, then we get the guitar solo by Jimmy Page. He nails this solo so perfectly. One of his best solos. It ends great, with a lot of energy. 9.5/10
The second track here is Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. A jewel among jewels. This is one of Robert's best vocal performances. "I can hear it calling me the way it used to do...I CAN HEAR IT CALLING ME BACK HOME!" So much energy. Lets not forget about the Jimmy's great acoustics here. Great song, one of the best Led Zeppelin has done. Definately their best acoustic. 10/10
You Shook Me. Baby, all night long! This, along with How Many More Times, IS THE UNDERRATED SONG(s). I can see where if you don't like blues you could not like this song as much. This song just yells blues. From the guitar riff, to Robert's Vocals. (this happens to be another one of his best vocal performances)Next we finally see what John Paul Jones is all about. He busts a move (sorry, had to say that) and has a great organ solo. How can you follow something that awesome? With an even more awesome harmonica solo, thats how! Robert gives a great performance, very good. Jimmy follows up with a great solo, although a bit slow. Did I mention John Bonham has been jammin' this whole time? He can really drum. The song ends with my favorite part of a Led Zeppelin song. A volley between vocals and guitar. You have to hear it, words can't give it justice. Great song, A cover of Willie Dixon. 10/10
Remember, soul of a woman was created below. This is the classic song off the album. One of the heaviest, if not the heaviest song Led Zeppelin has made. I can't explain how much I love this song, as it happens to be my favorite song. The bass intro is great, you just can't beat it. Jimmy comes in, and Robert pulls out some great vocals. This is what a rock vocalist should sound like. We get to the haunting riff, and proceed to some more vocals. A bit of time passes, and we get to the bowing. Bowing is where you use a violen bow on guitar. It sounds really cool, and is a "calm before the storm". Jimmy does his thing for a bit, then the Johns bust out with great drums and a great bassline. Jimmy gets back into the song, and gives a great solo. Its also very long. Did I mention Robert is making his ocassional moans and yells during all of this? It raps up, and ends one of the greatest songs ever.
10/10
Your Time Is Gonna Come...a lot of people don't seem to like this one. I sure do, although its not my favorite on the album. It has a long organ intro, but its all good. Robert Plant has some good vocals on here, and is just a nice song. You have to hear it to get what I mean. 9.3/10
Black Mountain Side, Jimmy pulls out his acoustic guitar to make an eastern sounding acoustic solo. Its very good, theres not a lot to say. But, being an acoustic solo, it can only score so high. 8.3/10
Communication Breakdown, its always the same! This, apart from Dazed and Confused's solo, has the most energy on the album. Its two and a half minutes of pure rock and roll. Jimmy provides good riffs and solos. Robert Plant also gives a great energetic performance. Johns do their job well. Although it is short, its so awesome. 9.7/10
I Can't Quite You Baby. This is what I should be saying about this album. I can't quit it! This album provides another great blues track. Jimmy page really shines in this song, giving some of his best guitar work here. One of my favorite blues songs. 9.8/10
How Many More Times. Wow....just wow. This song is so great, perhaps too great. The MOST underrated Led Zeppelin song ever. Its eight and a half minutes of hard blues rock awesomeness. A few minutes through the song, you hear a grand solo by Jimmy. He also starts bowing again, and Robert is giving a great performance, once again. John Paul Jones has some good bass on this one, as well. John Bonham gives a great drum performance. The song progressives so well, its really hard to explain. It also changes its sound a lot. You definately need to give this one a chance and listen. The best closer song for the best Led Zeppelin Album.
Remember, all of this is just my opinion.
Some other great albums I would recommend.
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Van Halen - Van Halen
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Thank you for reading this, and I hope I was able to help you in some way.
Description of Led Zeppelin 1
2005 Japanese standard jewel case pressing of Led Zeppelin's 1969 album. Features the same tracks and mastering as the US edition but includes an OBI and Japanese/English insert. Warner. 2005.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
