I have the original vinyl, still in near mint condition. Moby Dick is unquestionably the best drum solo ever, particularly when you realise that John Bonhams drum kit wasn't that extensive. This album doesn't get the best of reviews but I think it is excellent. The version of No Quarter is better than the studio version.

I could approach this in two ways, compare this album with the likes of 2, 4, Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, or, rate it as an isolated album, almost as if I had never heard this band before. I will opt for the latter.
The album opens with a stunning driving blues rock workout and is followed up by a slower but still punchy blues rock offering, both tracks are very guitar driven with no noted keyboards present so far. 'Royal Orleans' is again very bluesy with some great guitar soloing. 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' continues with the harder driving blues theme introducing harmonica which really works. 'Candy Store Rock' is less memorable than what has come before but still ok. Some great guitar work on the fun 'Hots On For Nowhere'. 'Tea For One' is a slower laid back blues workout with some great Jimmy Page fretwork caressing. If you are a guitarist you will appreciate how good this last track actually is.
In summary, I really like the album. There are no keyboards that I can discern but that doesn't matter as the overall sound and production is superb, particularly the way the drums are recorded and how they sit in the mix.
The Hipgnosis sleeve design is thought provoking. So what is the object, just an abstract table ornament? Should the clever listener be linking the abstract object with what is quite an abstract album or am I over thinking it? [First added to this chart: 03/21/2021]
