 An Absolute Must-Have Nov 18, 2009
food, water, shelter, ZOSO.
if every other album/song in the world ever made had to be destroyed forever, save one, this would be the one to keep.

A Timeless Classic!!! Oct 06, 2009
The MORON reviewer who stated that Led Zeppelin is/was an "over rated" band should be beaten within an inch of his miserable life with his entire Brittany Spears collection. What an idiot!!! This band has not only stood the test of time but as compared to most of the drivel being recorded today actually gotten stronger over the years. I am, as I type this listening to a boot of a live show they did in Southampton England on January 22, 1973 and trust me they were truly the best rock band on the face of the earth at the time (followed VERY closely by The Rolling Stones) and will still be in heavy rotation on my ipod when I die 30 years from now. Led Zeppelin IV is a masterpiece with every single song on the disc a classic. If you do not already own this album then you really need to start here with this cd and then get the entire Led Zeppelin catalogue as this is truly music for the soul to be cherished for your entire lifetime!

 B-B-B-B-BORINGGGGGG Aug 20, 2009
Overrated album, Overrated band, overrated everything.
Zeppelins music is the most boring music I have ever listened to. Even the late garbage drugged up albums of the dying hippies have more to offer than Led Zeppelin.
Grow up and get over yourselves Led Zeppelin fans. This album offers nothing.
Anyone who can sit through a whole Led Zeppelin song should pack up and move into the woods and live alone with their dog, using wood for heat and moss and bark for food.
Zep IV, Relive the glory days of Zep's best LP. Aug 16, 2009
There is no weak spot on this album. Each song on Zep IV is solidly written and executed. With this album, Zep set out to prove the critics wrong and they did so in a big way. There is no label on the cover to designate the band the name of the album, or the songs. However, it quickly was scooped up by their fans and hit platinum (at a time when platinum meant something). You can pleasurably play each side through and enjoy it from beginning to end and without redundancy or weakness. Each song seems to naturally follow the flow of the other or create a counter point to the previous one. This was no accident but a deliberate design of the band. This is what set them apart and above the majority of other bands of that era.
How strange that it took all these years for someone to press these albums of such high sonic quality that they can now be enjoyed to their fullest. I wish Classic Records would again reissue these so more can enjoy them at a reasonable price.
 It's stood the test of time for a reason. Aug 10, 2009
I'd like to start this review by quoting one of the naysayers:
"Led Zeppelin is for only the shallow ears. Most serious music fans and critics disregard Zep"
I'm getting a bit tired of this attitude, not just in regard to Zeppelin, but with all aspects of music criticism. The idea that Led Zeppelin are artistically and culturally worthless because 'serious' fans/critics (whoever THEY are) have decided it should be so is laughable. What exactly is a 'serious' music fan? Someone who loves to listen to the music that gives them pleasure, who tries to further their appreciation of it wherever possible? Or someone who only takes pleasure in obscurity for it's own sake and enjoys sneering at us sheep-like masses with our harmless appreciation of The Riff? I suspect the latter. Let's face it: music attracts more snobbery and elitism than any other subject (wine included). And words like the above are all too tiresomely common. It seems its not acceptable to like something and be done with. No, it has to descend into a superiority contest where the line of argument is 'I don't like this and I'm obviously very intelligent. You do, ergo you must be stupid'. It's the sort of tedious, specious logic that ends up constantly defining rock 'n roll as primitive and inferior, while chin-stroking experimental jazz and 4 hour ambient wankathons assume the status of a spiritual quest. No-one likes to be told by some self-styled 'expert' that they only enjoy something because they are too simple to know any better.
Zeppelin are one of the most well established, well respected and successful rock acts of all time. They have influenced generations of musicians and bands. They have sold millions upon millions of records. They can still sell out a massive arena if they want to. Before you trot out the argument that the opinion of the majority is no gaurantee of quality, how many other bands still have the same massive following some 40 years on? And not just with their original fanbase, but with those who weren't even born until after they split?
Led Zeppelin 4 may not be their best record. It's a matter of opinion. I actually prefer 'Physical Graffiti'. But its a damn fine rock album.
If you don't get it, then that's fine. We don't all have to like the same things. But it's an act of supreme arrogance to assume that you don't like it because you're smarter than everyone else. Who exactly are you trying to convince? Rock music may not always be the most cerebral, but it appeals to an area of the human spirit that is just as vital, and just as important.
