Pro Reviews: Led Zeppelin II (Remastered)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin's first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed it. Since the group could only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II are reworked blues and rock roll standards that the band was performing onstage at the time. Not only did the short amount of time result in a lack of original material, it made the sound more direct. Jimmy Page still provided layers of guitar overdubs, but the overall sound of the album is heavy and hard, brutal and direct. "Whole Lotta Love," "The Lemon Song," and "Bring It on Home" are all based on classic blues songs only, the riffs are simpler and louder and each song has an extended section for instrumental solos. Of the remaining six songs, two sport light acoustic touches ("Thank You," "Ramble On"), but the other four are straightahead heavy rock that follows the formula of the revamped blues songs. While Led Zeppelin II doesn't have the eclecticism of the group's debut, it's arguably more influential. After all, nearly every one of the hundreds of Zeppelin imitators used this record, with its lack of dynamics and its pummeling riffs, as a blueprint. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: One of Zep's best releases....
Cons: Nothing.....
Zep's 2nd release and the most hardest rocking bluesy metally release in their cannon...everyone is in their prime and it shows everywhere throughout the album.
; is a powerful straight ahead rocker with memorable hooks...nice lil Page solo in it and fits perfectly on this album...right off into "Living Loving Maid (She's just a woman)" which is a shorter tight rocker in the vein of 'Good times Bad times' from Zep I. "Ramble On" is another very memorable song with great hooks and awesome muscianship from all the guys involved. "Moby Dick" is a lil song based around John Bonham's drumming which is very powerful and never gets dull listening to...it's a shame he's not here now with us, but he'll never be missed and his playing lives on with all fans of rock and roll and music in general. "Bring it on Home" starts off with some nice harmonica playing and Plant's somewhat manipulated voice into a nice jam that closes off this monster of an album.
...
"Whole Lotta Love" shoots right off like a bullet in your face, all out thundering grinding rock with Robert Plant's strong singing and Jimmy Page's blistering soloing...John Bonham shines pretty bright too as well as John Paul Jones. One of the earliest metal songs out there and one of the Zep's best in their musical canon. "What Is and What Should Never Be" slows down to mid temo and is a nice enough zep track that really works and is commercial with the chrouses coming in and the song speeding up back and forth...an early great track..."The Lemon Song" is pretty cool, lil blusier and some good jamming by Page...I believe this is another take off of "Killing Floor" which Jimi Hendrix did as well. "Thank you" is a very sweet sounding ballady song...Plant's first written I believe about a relationship of his...the fading in and out makes the song really special.
"Heartbreaker"
Summing it up...Zep's probaly hardest rocking album ever released and one of my personal favorites...it's a must have for any that likes rock. Definatley worth picking up. RR
