The follow up album from the soon to be enormous heavy rock group Led Zeppelin demonstrates their immense talent, but is let down by a couple of self indulgent tracks. Led Zeppelin II includes the US No. 4 hit single Whole Lotta Love. (US:1 UK:1)
“This album is a prime example of why Led Zeppelin are legends in the music industry. It has everything a rock fan could possibly want. A bluesy feel, tight guitar riffs, solos from the soul, well constructed songs, layers of music and passionate vocals. For me the true cohesion comes from the rhythm section. Bonham's drums drives the band ever forward while Jones is ethereal on the keyboards and perfect on bass guitar.”
“Led Zeppelin II is the album that perfectly blends all of their styles. There is plenty of blues, and more original blues too, than on the first album. There is the sheer power of hard rock but still plenty of hippy folkiness and sixties ideology on offer too.”
“A near-classic with five of Led Zeppelin’s greatest hits on it, unfortunately it also has two of their worst songs as well. The Lemon Song is a bit of a stinker and Moby Dick is a just a glorified drum solo and should have been left on the cutting floor.”
“Some great tracks here mixed with a few weaker Led Zeppelin songs. The album opens with Whole Lotta Love which has become one of the bands most well known tunes. However I think the best song is Ramble On which is awesome. What Is & What Should Never Be is classic Zeppelin.”
“After their ground breaking debut album, the group quickly followed up with Led Zeppelin II. Whereas their debut contained a few blues covers and longer jams, II is a much tighter affair. Jimmy Page was a master at coming up with memorable guitar riffs and they abound throughout II.”
“This is another outstanding rock collection from Led Zeppelin. All the songs have the phenomenal guitar work of Jimmy Page. I believe the unique vocals of Robert Plant are unsurpassed. Both Page and Plant have vast artistic range.”
