A couple nice moments, liked the percussion throughout. Overall felt like a lot of window dressing. Layering in dozens of instruments to make the album seem more interesting than it is.

90% of this album did not land the way it did when I was a lad. However, Free Bird solo is worth 2 stars. It RIPS!

There’s a lot here that I wanted to like. New wave, punk, reggae influence and a cool sound and aesthetic, but the bones of these songs are not good.

As far as true ROCK bands are concerned Led Zeppelin is the pinnacle, and this is their best work.

This is the type of music you can’t possibly play loud enough.

I became obsessed with Led Zeppelin when I was about 10 and of all their records this is the one that aged the best. There are endless moments on here that will make you feel stuff.

Houses of the Holy might go harder than any other rock song. Kashmir rules. Jon Bonham is a a fucking beast and makes the overall sound massive.

Enough straight forward rock tunes, mixing in some “prog”’rock songs like “In The Light”, and zero misses. These guys were just all around monsters.

Best straight up ROCK album ever.

PS - I hear your complaints about nonsense and troublesome (Sick Again) lyrics and have taken those under advisement.

As a life long Green Day hater I’d love to give this a 1/5 but some of these surprised me. Not enough to go back but more respect for them now.

Will come back for a few of these. Two hours is way too long.

His intention seems to have been to keep up with all the new music of the late 60’s but stay Elvis and the result was pretty great. Particularly Suspicious Minds, which is one of the greatest songs ever. The southern soul sound is my favorite Elvis. That said, can’t shake the feeling that he’s impersonating other genres and performing other people’s songs (which he was), like an extremely good cover band.

Having a hard time with this one. Well done, some cool stuff here but at times feels rudderless. Right when you think it'll resolve or a big chorus should break, it doesn't.

Very nice sounding but would have benefited from some variety, feels like a lot of the same to me. I like reverb as much as the next guy, but when bands over do it (Tame Impala) it loses its effect and ends up making everything sound washed out.

Im sure he’s a genius etc but it’s not my bag baby

I love everything about this album.

Cool glimpse into a different time and genre I’ve never sought out. That said, not for me.

Perfect for what it is—a live blues album. Initially, I thought B.B. King was overrated, but after learning to play some of his riffs, I realized their brilliance. Though not complex, they are perfectly crafted and have been imitated countless times. His guitar sound is incredible. The only reason I’m not giving this a 5/5 is that the album can feel repetitive, with the songs following a similar format and the lyrics revolving around the same themes. However, that's more of a critique of blues music in general.

A couple good songs and an interest cross between hair metal and grunge, but not for me.

Very well made. Cornell’s vocals stand out on every track. Quintessential ROCK singer.

Consider myself a Nirvana fan but this album sucks. Some good songs but some horrific ones too.

The first 4 songs are very good but it fades slowly after that. Very happy to have listened to this. Sounds like it could have been released today. Would go 3.5.

Excellent. Hazy Jane ll stands out. Initial reaction was a bit of annoyance, but the more I listen the better it is.

I like Peter Tosh but I don’t think he had enough material to warrant a solo album. The album sounds great, there’s just not a lot there. Really enjoyed Burial.

I wanted to hate this to support my recent anti-Sinatra declaration… but I loved it. Walked to the store , perfect fall night and this really hit the the spot. Now im lost.
