Despite being a lifelong Led Zeppelin fan, it took me nearly 2 years to get this album, because I thought the collaboration would be embarrassing and not very good. I was wrong! There are some really BRILLIANT songs on here and I was amazed at how much this album could very nearly be a modern Led Zeppelin. I say very nearly because I was disappointed in a couple of the songs for being too slow and ballad-y and not really going anywhere. However, songs like When The World Was Young, Most High, Burning Up, House of Love and Shining in the Light make up for it. I was also impressed at how good Robert's voice sounds on the album. I would really love to see another collaboration now, it has restored my faith after some of their 80's work.

This is Page and Plant's first collaboration on new material since the odd couple of tracks from the 'No Quarter' album. I didn't know what to expect when I first bought this- could they still produce the old Zeppelin magic with only those two? Yes and no. At times on this album you can feel them sparking each other off- Most High, Burning Up, Please Read The Letter all sound like they could have come from the 'Physical Graffiti' seesions. However, some of the tracks really do feel like 'fillers', 'Blue Train' and 'When I was a child' in particular. Robert is in fine voice, and his lyrics still contain his trademark elements of heartfelt blues and mysticism. One minor complaint is Jimmy's guitar tone; it sounds a little sterile compared to his sound of the seventies. That said, he is still probably the greatest living exponent of the electric guitar, and can still throw off classic riffs and solos with enviable ease. Overall, a fairly solid rock album that sits well alongside the old Zeppelin albums.

There is a good album in here struggling to get out of the straightjacket imposed on it by Steve Albini, who dampens everything down with a hideous spongy bottom-end production that makes this record sound like it was recorded in a padded cell. I had to look at the credits to realise there was a drummer and bassist present; both sound like they were banished to the studio car park, to keep them out of the sight of the two rock gods whilst they got on with the business of talking about the good old days.
The mighty Most High transcends most of the rest of this material; but Blue Train and When We Were Young are also fine songs. However there are also a couple of duds: House Of Love and the ultimate throwaway Burning Up.
Somebody at Mercury, or whatever label it's called nowadays, bring out a remaster of this quick.

Fabulous
A softer Led Zeppelin feel with a great rendition of Most High that would have fitted well into "No Quarter". Robert's voice sounds great and the old magic still shines through.

Great album, from two of the finest musicians of Led Zep. 12 great tracks and a great listen if you're a Zep fan, well recommended.

My dream came true
I had been waiting for music like this all my life. I don't care if it's better or worse than Led Zeppelin. Such a question is irrelevant. Read more

Not the best
This is well below the best Page & Plant are capable of. Some of the experiments, notably with strings, end as a soggy mess. Look to their heritage material.
