Now, I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, and I love the companion discs in general, but this one is just lame. The only two tracks that are remotely worth it are the In The Evening (Rough Mix) because there are parts that are hidden in the real mix, and the Carouselambra (Rough Mix) because it is a very different rough mix from the real one, with the vocals being louder, but otherwise, you just get a few songs that sound like they are radio quality, with there not even being much difference in these mixes from the real ones (that sound great by the way). This is a must have for completing a companion disc collection, but if you are a casual fan unlike me, skip this and buy the actual album.

This is one of my personal favorite Led Zeppelin albums. This album has a great flow, track after track. Also, this album has great vocals, great drum solos, and great guitar solos as well. Finally, the instruments wrap around the vocals like no other, and intertwine perfectly. Definitely looking forward to the next limited play album, and extended play album from Led Zeppelin.

Why are people rating the album? We know this is a classic. Lol. But what is the opinion on the remastered effort and bonus material.

It is a good thing this turned out to be their last album. They would have drifted into 80's synth garbage at this rate. They surely did enough coke collectively for that to sound like a good direction to move towards. Also, I find it hilarious that iTunes made "Caruoselambra" an "Album Only" purchase, considering it is THE WORST SONG Zeppelin ever made. Buy this album if you simply want to own them all, but don't expect much from it.

"In the Evening" was well worth buying, it is so much better than the original version. You can understand the lyrics for one thing. I also bought "Blot" because I'm pretty sure I read on here that the reverb didn't exist in the rough mixes and what the hell it's exactly the same, just lower like someone else mentioned. Got screwed on that one. Oh well, at least I didn't buy the whole album. 5 stars for ITE though.

Not my favorite Zep album. But let me just say this. How many artists would love to have their songs played as much as fool in the rain and all of my love have been over the years. Not their purest Zep stuff, but they managed to have two of the most played songs on rock radio. Pretty good id say.

Led Zeppelin knows how to make a great album. Sure it's not their best, but it is certainly their most under appreciated, and marked an interestingly different direction for the band

Sounds like a bad rehearsal of forgotten songs, and no producer to bring out something at least barely listenable.

Probably tied with III for my fav Zep record. Leans in some surprising new direction while never losing what was truly "them". Love it!

Amazing! Love the Zep. Brings you back and moves you forward. Timeless and current! Today's bands should learn from the masters.
