I used to feel the same negative way about The Crunge, but somewhere along the way it clicked and I love it now (maybe I just somehow spotted the confounded bridge). One of their several masterpiece albums. The Song Remains The Same immediately pushes the proverbial pedal to the floor with a stellar instrumental intro, and the ride takes you to all kinds of great places from there. The Rain song is one of their most underrated tracks in my opinion.
