I first bought this album two years ago, although previously, my brother said it wasn't all that good. My opinion : it's well worth buying for the blistering album closer, WEARING AND TEARING, which is best played extremely loud, as it's a rampaging monster of a track, used as an answer to the punks who had written off Zep and which also could have been a slight precursor to the early '80s NWOBHM craze. This is the most aggressive song on the track, although 'Walter's Walk' is impressive, too. Cut in 1972 during the HOUSES OF THE HOLY sessions, this features a groovy Jimmy Page riff and is efficiently powered along by Bonzo's powerful drums. The 1970 soundcheck version of 'I Can't Quit You, Baby' is heavier than the original, further improved by Page's sizzling solo and 'We're Gonna Goove' ain't bad, either. As for the other songs? 'Poor Tom' is an okay acoustic effort, with a distinctive, opening drumbeat, 'Bonzo's Montreux' is a pretty interesting drum solo from the man himself and the New Wave influenced 'Ozone Baby' and 'Darlene' are adequate rockers, indicating the sort of direction Zeppelin were taking towards the end of the Seventies. CODA is not brilliant, but it's certainly worth a listen.

This collection of odd material from the Led Zeppelin vaults is well below the standard we have come to expect from the band. The songs were clearly never meant to be released and this album was rushed out with almost indecent haste following Bonzo's tragic demise. It is a grave disappointment. You may wish to just buy it to complete your Led Zeppelin collection, otherwise I urge you not to bother.

Lacklustre release with poor sound quality and rough unpolished poorly engineered songs. Well below par for Zepp fans. Read more

As a Whole, Pretty Uneventful...
In my opinion, this album is pretty uneventful, as a whole. I'm not picking on this because it was released posthumously, either. RIP Bonzo, by the way. Read more

This is Zep
This is Zep and therefore you need it. I'm not at all sure why so many people are against it. Zep didn't do bad songs and this is no exception. Read more

Woefully disappointing
The only thing I have in common with the other 2 star reviewer is that we share the same forename. Really he could not have written his appraisal more accurately in my opinion. Read more

A disgrace.
One album that should NEVER have been released.
You might note from my other reviews that I reckon Zep were going off from HOTH. Read more
