It's an actual challenge to review an album like this one, a classic album made by one of those unforgettable bands, so I swear I'll do my best. Led Zeppelin released this jewel in 1971 (November 8th to be precise). It's a marvelous album, every song featured here is just incredible, we have the memorable "Black Dog," the classic "Rock & Roll" (we can even hear this song in the Super Bowl specials), the aggressive "Misty Mountain Hop," the mystic "When The Levee Breaks," the catchy "Four Sticks" and well?"Stairway To Heaven."

We are, once again, a couple of days late to celebrate a groundbreaking album's anniversary. Led Zeppelin is a band with a complicated legacy, from uncredited "inspirations" to underage groupies to backmasking, but there's something truly mystical about their fourth album. Supposedly untitled, debuting the band's symbolistic emblems, and with the figure from the cover art taken from a Tarot card, Led Zeppelin IV is also probably the band's most consistent album. It's hard to pinpoint a song on this album that isn't a classic. There are no words needed for "Stairway To Heaven", which has became the band's trademark. "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll" were rowdy even by 70s standards. "The Battle Of Evermore" and "Misty Mountain Hop" feel like early seeds for folk metal, "When The Levee Breaks" has one of the best grooves of all time. "Going To California" is a ballad that's so ethereal. And the only reason "Four Sticks" feels more forgettable is because it's in such good company, but it would've been some other bands' greatest song.

Great album, most heaver, most metal album, as teenager Black Dog and Rock n Roll was my fav songs, more equal sound, more less same or close to same style, more away from blues roots, more 70's less 60's feeling , almost every song are great and hit, basically can be best of .. Black Dog, Rock n Roll great heavy riffs , calmer song The Battle Of Evermore, then follows song what I did not like as teenager(soft) but now adore, best lyrics from all LZ songs , yes Stairway to Heaven ... Going to Californian also great epic song, deep lyrics, then it was dream destination, now Cali,.. to much gangs and seems its shithole, anyway great song ... rest of songs are weeker, but 4 songs in the album what are super hits ... damn awesome. My best album and last one, since next one brings changes and bad changes

Favourite album of all time. However I'm not sure why it's even counted in the all time list, since it's definitely not a metal album.

Such a great album. In my top 25 of all time and Led Zeppelin's best IMO. 9.6/10 for me - 'Black Dog', 'Rock And Roll', 'Stairway To Heaven', and 'When The Levee Breaks' are all standout tracks. 'The Battle Of Evermore' and 'Misty Mountain Hop' are both also great.
