the cover looks like the end of a looney toons episode. boots of spanish leather is one of his best songs. how is she writing him from on a boat though.
it really begins to click for Bob writing wise here. the beginning of an insane legacy.
Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues is the funniest shit ever.
this album is 70% just great and then theres Tunnel of Love and Romeo and Juliet two perfect songs.
its pretty good but Handle With Care is the biggest standout. Roy Orbison’s words on that song are so tragic and haunting considering he died like a year later. Makes me sad every time i hear it.
this albums okay for the most part but for some reason Achilles’ Last Stand just happens to be on here and be so compositionally perfect and insane that it definitely severely keeps this album out of mediocrity. still the end of Zeppelin’s supremacy.
maybe i was just getting sick of zeppelin by this point but this wasnt super great to me. Kashmir isnt even my favorite long zeppelin song.
another part of my zeppelin binge. def not my favorite but its so clean and well produced i love this one too.
i listened to this front to back like 100 times in a week its just really something to put on in the background and sink into.
honestly not my favorite zeppelin but how bad can you get with them like seriously this still rocks even if i just personally think its weaker than the others.
so i kinda binged zeppelin and actually loved this record holy shit people said this is one of their weaker and looser records but i love it it feels so real.
