Led Zeppelin`s epochal fourth album finds both the band`s blues-rock thunder and their gentler, more lyrical side filed down 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 the band 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 the blues, with John Bonham`s thunderous drums echoing through the subsequent decades. The folkier, acoustic tracks provide welcome moments of beauty and respite, and all the elements of 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.

Customer Reviews
Overall Rating: 5
From a time when musicians lived the music, played hard, and could play just as well on stage... a fabulous album from one of the great bands. Skip the over-played "Stairway To Heaven" and enjoy driving classics like "Black Dog" and "Rock & Roll". This must-have CD is rounded out with the finger-picking of "Going To California" and hard-driving "When The Levee Breaks". Only eight tracks? That's all you can take!
