Review:
Led Zeppelin had a fully formed, distinctive sound from the outset, as their
eponymous debut illustrates. Taking the heavy, distorted electric blues of Jimi
Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Cream to an extreme, Zeppelin created a majestic,
powerful brand of guitar rock constructed around simple, memorable riffs and
lumbering rhythms. But the key to the group's attack was subtlety: it wasn't
just an onslaught of guitar noise, it was shaded and textured, filled with
alternating dynamics and tempos. As Led Zeppelin proves, the group was capable
of such multi-layered music from the start. Although the extended psychedelic
blues of “Dazed and Confused,” “You Shook Me,” and “I Can't Quit You
Baby” often gather the most attention, the remainder of the album is a better
indication of what would come later. “Babe I'm Gonna Leave You” shifts from
folky verses to pummeling choruses; “Good Times Bad Times” and “How Many
More Times” have groovy, bluesy shuffles; “Your Time Is Gonna Come” is an
anthemic hard rocker; “Black Mountain Side” is pure English folk; and
“Communication Breakdown” is a frenzied rocker with a nearly punkish attack.
Although the album isn't as varied as some of their later efforts, it
nevertheless marked a significant turning point in the evolution of hard rock
and heavy metal.
