"Certainly better than, the song remains the same. Finally, Led Zeppelin release a live album worthy of their legendary status. Great performances, still, Moby dick, is as boring, as dull, and as tortuous as ever. The rest? Brilliant." Reply

"This record is good, but the songs are just to damn long. In my opinion, if they had cut the majority of them down to under 5 and a half minutes, then I think it would be a 90. Also, the clipping throughout is really unfortunate." Reply

"An underrated masterpiece. Red, Powder Blue, Newborn, Asleep in the Back, Scattered Black and White are all breathtaking. Amazed it's not rated higher; Radiohead fans should like this one." Reply

"it saddens me that this album hasn't even broke the top 1,000. lupe is so over-looked as an artist its not even funny, lyricism is mirrored by none, the modern-age Nas. I firmly believe it's one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, the 2nd best of the 2000s after marshall mathers lp." Reply

"More orchestral than their predecessor, and more heightened moments. There's not much in it, but I think this album goes places Tired Sounds does not." Reply
