The album runs 13 tracks, but most of those seem like song fragments more than songs (only 3 tracks really clock in at over 3 minutes). The fragments aren't really memorable or interesting andleave no impact, ending before they've had any chance to be noticed or differentiated. This album feels pretty overhyped to me."  [+]  Reply

Every single song in this run is simply phenomenal with the band giving us some incredible performances on every single instrument present on those songs. Every time I revisit this album I am completely blown away all over again with these songs as they are that impressive to experience. This quality does dip only slightly but is still great up until and including The Wanton Song which is where the album could possibly have concluded. After that we do get what can only be described as a bit of a drag to the finish. These final 3 tracks aren't bad but are such an obvious drop off in quality that it makes them seem worse than they are. However, these weaker tracks don't really detract from how amazing the rest of the music is on here. In my opinion, this is the record that solidified the fact that this is the greatest combination of musicians in one group as there is just no weak link amongst these 4 guys. Furthermore, they just seem to gel together so well on their releases with their sound being so cohesive and just such a joy to be able to experience. Overall, this is the most challenging but also the most rewarding album Led Zeppelin ever made and it deserves all the praise that it receives as it is a masterpiece. "  [+]  Reply

The number one hit-single "Heart of Gold" is obviously one of the reasons why the album was so successful, but of course the album has a lot of other great tracks. Generally the album is among Young's softest and most melodic, and songs like "Out on the Weekend", "Harvest" and "Old Man" are prototype songs showing Young's melodic country side - all three among the very of best of his early solo-recordings. A couple of songs, "Alabama" and "Words", do have the harder rocking approach that Young would exploit further on later albums. The two ballads "A Man Needs a Maid" and "There's a World" are arranged with pretty heavy orchestration, which some may like, but which personally is a bit of a shame, as the songs really don't need this. "The Needle and the Damage Done" is an acoustic live-recording, so in a way you could describe the album as being somewhat heterogeneous. But with outstanding songs like "Heart of Gold", "Out on the Weekend", "Harvest" and "Old Man" the album will be a favourite among most Young fans"  [+]  Reply

Around 6 months later, after hearing around 200 new albums of multiple bands, genres, decades, styles, etc. and only hearing it once since then (just now) it still holds it relatively easily. It’s sort of funny actually, while I’m hearing massive, powerful, moving post rock songs, and experimental, unique, creative hip-hop albums, I’d say to myself “There’s no way a COLDPLAY album can be better than what I’m hearing right now. No way.” Yet I find myself sitting in awe at how raw and beautiful this is. It’s an album I don’t really find direct connection to that much now, but that really isn’t the main reason I love it. I don’t love it because it has these challenging lyrics about relevant social and personal themes, I don’t love it because it has some sort of crazy important significance in music history or something like that. I love it because it’s human. I think a lot of this has to do with point of view and perception. For example, you could easily say the “Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah” that takes up part of the chorus in “In My Place” is unconfident and weak, and I’d agree with you. But the song has a theme of weariness, tiredness, weakness, so it fits. You could say the album has a limited point of view, really only looking through the eyes of one person who is feeling only one thing, and I could agree. But let’s be honest; as people, it’s much, much, much more easy to see things from our point of view than someone else’s. Sure, the lyrics might be occasionally clunky. But don’t we all have awkward moments? We all say dumb things, we all don’t know the exactly right things to say at the exactly right time. You can view anything in tons of different ways. Those things I listed could easily be negatives for some people, but they obviously aren’t from me. It just depends on how you look at it. You can look at GZA’s “Liquid Swords” the same way you look at Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side Of The Moon” Well, if you view one like the other, one could seem great and the other could seem terrible. They’re both great albums in their own sense though, you just sorta have to look at it in a completely different set of eyes. This is why I think people saying Coldplay is a poor man’s U2 or Radiohead is hilarious. Sure they have their similarities, but in other aspects they’re completely different. As much as I love Radiohead’s “OK Computer,” I find it hard to feel to the word choice. I can understand and feel the emotion or struggle in that album, but if you ask me I don’t know too many people that go around using words like “Jackknifed” or “Cattle prods” in a day to day conversation. But you could say it adds this extra feeling of stress and insecurity. That whole perception thing again. Then let’s take a look at “Amsterdam”, which you could criticize for having simplistic and unchallenging lyrics to read through. But on the other side you could say that the simplicity makes it feel more honest and relatable. For each album and style you need to look at it as its own thing, not let what else you’ve heard be your rule of standard because when you hear something better that’s new and original, since you’ve set the guidelines based solely on one thing that’s different, you’ll dislike it without even realizing what you’re hearing. So what does any of this have to do with AROBTTH? Any specific album for that matter? I feel the most “me” while listening to this album. It’s the way I view it, not based on anything else besides my own feelings and thoughts. It’s an album, as a person, I just get the most. I understand how Chris feels, what he goes through, how he reacts to things on this album. But it’s not that I only understand it, it’s that I can feel it too. I might not be able to think of a situation in my life that exactly parallels that of the fantastic title track, but I can still feel it because it’s just a normal human being a normal human. It’s pretty bizarre to think that simply writing down how you feel is much more powerful than thinking as hard as you can about certain metaphors and imagery. But I guess that’s just how I view it.
