Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.1/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Se dice que después del crudo año de 1977 la banda no volvió a ser la misma. Que este marcó el "inicio del fin" ya que Robert Plant no quiso volver a los escenarios tras la muerte de su hijo. Sin embargo, este trágico suceso nos regaló la canción más enternecedora de la discografía de la banda: la preciosa All My Love.
Ahora bien, este disco es justamente el menos querido por los fans por consenso y es innegable el porqué. Se siente como si la banda traicionara su estilo. Incluso en la canción antes mencionada, aunque hermosa, es una balada que sería impensable de imaginarse en uno de los primeros cuatro discos. Por otro lado, hay algunos temas que uno no entiende cómo se atrevieron a sacarlos. Tiene las dos peores canciones de la discografía de Led Zeppelin, y me refiero a Hot Dog y Carouselambra. Esta última suena como si Robert Plant hiciera un collab con una banda de new wave, pero con una de las malas. El resto de las canciones cumple, pero no lo suficiente como para que este album deje de ser el peor de los Zep. (Edited)
Much better than I remember it from my first listen. Definitely a big improvement from their previous release, Presence, which I really couldn't get into. Clearly not of the standard of their 1969-1975 albums but definitely a worthy part of their discography. Liked the introduction of keyboards to their music, can't remember them being as prominent in other albums. My favourites are In the Evening and All My Love. Carouselambra is good but way too long. (Edited)
The drumming!! ?????? RIP Bonzo. (Edited)
fave tracks - In the Evening, Carouselambra, Fool in the Rain
This is a very weak Zeppelin album. It takes away all the passion and hunger on their earlier records and replace it with slower more dull moments. For example, Carouselambra is all build up and no payoff and feels like a nothing song and that is a quarter of the record in itself. The rest follows a similar pattern and by the end you are bored by the repetition of every song. Sonically, it just feels so bare as well and like there isn't much going on in terms of sound so there isn't a lot to explore on multiple listens either. There isn't one song on here that is better than decent and that includes the singles. There are a couple of good choruses that give you brief enjoyment on here though and when the drumming is utilised it is great. Overall, the group seem to have lost their spark on here and feel like they are struggling to create new ideas and so we are left with this record. (Edited)
