 Much Better Than Expected March 30, 2001
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
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.

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. I only know it's wonderful music, in which I recognise an ideal, something that's difficult to put into words. It seems to me that this album is about trying to make music in harmony with the movements of nature. Think of the dance of a tree in the wind, think of the flow of clouds in the sky... I don't know. It just makes a lot of sense to me. I always loved Jimmy's music and I am very very fond of this particular album, in my opinion it comes as a natural evolution. But hey, that's just me! :)
 Not quite Zeppelin... September 4, 2003

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.

Ever wondered what Led Zeppelin would have sounded like if they hadn'tthrown in the towel after "In Through The Out Door" and sat back to countthe royalties from endless "Best of...." re-issues ? Look no further.There's no "When The Levee Breaks" (unfortunately). Neither is there a"Stairway To Heaven" (Thank you Lord). What you do get is an album withthe laid-back, bluesy feel of "Presence" coupled with the lusherarrangements of "In Through...". No more shrieking and squeaking fromPlant, but come on, he is getting on a bit now. Page,despite his advancingyears, still wallops out some riffs that would be unplayable for lessermortals. It's a shame that John-Paul Jones was as keen to join the projectas he would have been to thrust his hand into a box of angry cobras, butyou can't have everything.High points are "Most High" (did you see theadulation they still command on that otherwise embarrassing TOTPappearance), "Burning Up" (which would not be the worst track if includedon any legitimate Led Zep album you care to name), and "Walking IntoClarksdale", an almost perfect combination of hip-shaking blues and lushguitar.True talent never dies. It only misses out on 5 stars because fullenjoyment of the album is effectively rendered impossible by what isprobably the worst production I have ever encountered this side of thecoloured vinyl 45 of Dr Feelgood's "Milk and Alcohol".A re-masterededition would stand it's ground with the very best.
 A Stricktly average bath rail.... September 25, 2007

All the colour, texture and variety of a chrome bath rail. The rhythm section sound like uncommitted session men. Page, once a master of riffs and guitar pytrotechnics, is reduced to little more than chord changes and poor guitar tone. The one real solo (on Burnin up) sounds like a late night half hearted cast off. Percy fares better, but again the whole things sounds rushed and limited in scope. Mighty Rearranger and Dreamland are better buys, and closer to what this project should have been.
