Un escalón por encima de su debut. Hay mayor virtuosidad en la composición. Este disco abre con la que quizá sea la mejor canción de su discografía. Con esta perspectiva, es difícil que el resto alcance ese pico, pero se mantiene constante alrededor del album, con ciertos bajones, como Lemon Song o Moby Dick, aunque ninguna supone un revés tan significativo como lo es You Shook Me para su primer álbum.

Un repertorio bastante puro para lo que es la banda. Ramble On, What Is and What Should Never Be y Thank You aportan a la continuidad de la calidad. El closing track también les sigue de cerca. Con unos cuantos altibajos, el segundo disco de la banda británica es distintivamente una mejor entrega que su antecesor.

One of the most perfect albums ever. It starts with the home run that is Whole Lotta Love, but then moves into my favorite Zep song What Is And What Should Never Be, which really needs to be heard in headphones due to Page's panned guitar part at the breakdown. Then the album goes into the all time great riff that starts The Lemon Song, which itself has some amazing blues rock guitar. Then you have quartet of radio classics with the more melodic Thank You and Ramble On, sandwiched around Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid, which are nearly always paired together on the radio. Moby Dick is amazing guitar and Bonham's drum solo for the ages. Finally, Bring It On Home has an old school 50's style vocals and harmonica intro then just explodes into an amazing album ender.

This album was given to me by a friend when I was just getting into rock music. I didn't understand why when I opened the gift, but it was a near life changing album for me at that age. I can't recommend this enough to anyone interested in LZ.

A solid early record from Led Zeppelin where they are still finding their sound and relying more on their influences than demonstrating their own unique creativity and musical genius. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as we are treated to some absolute classics because of this. The obvious examples of this is Ramble On, Whole Lotta Love and the phenomenal Heartbreaker. All of these songs, as well as most of the rest of the record, showcase the impressive skillset of each member brilliantly with Jimmy Page's guitar work being a personal highlight especially on Heartbreaker. I am also a huge fan of the closing track as I find it to end the album on a great note and it always make me leave the record wanting more Led Zeppelin. Overall, this is better than their debut and it is a lot of fun to listen to but it is inferior to what would be released in their future.

Rather incosistent, but Heartbreaker steals the show.

The first aLZ album I listened to. It´s been 25 years and I still think is close to a masterpiece.

Great album

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is incredible that this album shows a large progression from the first album within the same year. Not settling on being a simple blues and rock'n'roll band there are signs of being more adventurous in the instrumentation with small elements of funk and work within the rhythm sections to be even more interesting.

A mixed bag, some superb elements to this like Thank You, Heartbreaker and the closing Bring It On Home.
