Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Also known as the "rune" album because of the medieval symbols adorning its cover, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks like "Black Dog", "Misty Mountain Hop", and "Rock and Roll", the combination of Robert Plant's banshee wails and Jimmy Page's frenetic guitar playing forever altered the stylistic bent of hard rock music. And the foreboding "When the Levee Breaks" demonstrated that Zeppelin could indeed play the blues fairly straight if they so desired. Still, everything here ultimately took a back seat to the album's (and, ultimately, the band's) magnum opus--the expertly constructed and deftly executed classic, "Stairway to Heaven". --Billy Altman

CD Description

Led Zeppelin's epochal fourth album finds both the band's blues-rock thunder and their gentler, more lyrical side fileddown to a razor-sharp point. "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll" aren't just perennial air-guitar anthems; they're the ultimate distillation of the blues-inflected, hard-rock fury theband had already been perfecting for the past three years. Robert Plant's Little Richard-on-amphetamines wail rides perfectly atop the band's strategically directed crunch for maximum impact. "When the Levee Breaks"is a titanic take on theblues, with John Bonham's thunderous drums echoing through the subsequent decades. The folkier, acoustic tracks providewelcome moments of beauty and respite, and all the elementsof the band's sound come together in "Stairway to Heaven", a suite of shifting dynamics that would become the Eiffel Tower of classic-rock radio forevermore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative classic that time cannot erode, 18 May 2006
By Some Bloke (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This was a pioneering rock album by the band everyone aspired to be at the time, and are influenced by now. Unlike many other groundbreakers, this isn't particularly dated and still holds its own in a market that has moved on.

'Stairway to Heaven' deserves to be remembered as one of the all-time great tracks, but the others aren't fillers. More a case of 'Stairway' as the pinnacle of the album. Plant's vocals are forthright, bluesy and angst-ridden. Page's guitar lines are ideal in each situation and provide some great riffs. Bonham's drumming really is incredible rock drumming - hard, heavy, and not always as predicted. Somehow John-Paul Jones and his bass are by comparison, merely perfect.

There's a variety here - rocky numbers like 'Black Dog' and 'Rock n Roll', then slow blues like 'When the Levy Breaks'.

Since this album, the rock guitar has become louder and heavier through Motorhead, AC/DC, Anthrax, Slayer, through to the modern thrash. Despite that, this album still sounds fresh and has an edge of creative genius that many new bands just don't have as much of.

I write this not as someone who was there when it came out and is nostalgic (I'm too young!) but someone who found it after discovering the modern rock and metal world. And it's still, really, that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't have it get it, 2 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This is probably one of the best rock records ever done, together with Deep Purple's Machine Head and Made in Japan. I can't find a musically bad track on it, still I'm not fond of the lyrics tainted with mysticism on Battle for Evermore. The opening track Black dog has a wonderful riff wandering over the guitar which shows why Jimmy Page (together with Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath) can take full credit for pioneering the mammoth riffs of hard rock/heavy metal, which also is shown in Misty Mountain Hop, Four Sticks and When the Levee Breaks. I don't need to say something about Stairway to Heaven as it by many is rated as the best rock song ever written. But I want to stress the mastery of three underrated gems on this wonderful record, namely Misty Mountain Hop a very heavy and hooking track, Four Sticks with its driving rhythm in 4/5 and When the Levee Breaks with its, I can't find words to explain it, wonderful guitar sound. All in all it is a record well worth the money spent. And I will give a promise: If you like rock, hard rock or heavy metal, you will not be disappointed and will also have a record to be played on, and on, and on, and on ...

5.0 out of 5 stars It Has That Something.....They Who Dared, Won!!!, 5 Nov 2009
By Tommo 18/7 "Tommo" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
Led Zeppelin IV..Ok, this album should never work in a million years, the diversty ( for a hard rock band) is such, that it should be laughed right out of town, but nearly 40 years on, it still sounds fresh, inspired and groundbreaking.

You go from the driving, hard blues rock of " Black Dog" & " Rock And Roll" into the ultra mellow folk of " The Battle Of Evermore" into the enigmatic accoustic/metal classic that is " Stairway To Heaven", then into the swaggering " Misty Mountain Hop" that leads you into the intense " Four Sticks", into the folk laden " Going To California" and ends with the slice of blues metal that is " When The Levee Breaks". It's as if each track manipulates you into listening to the next.

These tracks aren't neccessarily Zeppelin's best, but there is just something about this album. Maybe it was the confidence, lack of compromise and pure balls of a legendary band on top of their game, doing what it did best. Breaking new ground and excelling.


Legendary: AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++
