Recorded at a remote cottage in Wales named Bron-Yr-Aur, Led Zep's 3rd (!) album moved towards folk and acoustic rock as well as the high energy hardrock they were known for. Since the cottage had no electricity or running water the composing became more acoustic and calm, as an opposite to the hard working they had just been through on a lengthy north american tour. The album reached nr. 1 in many countries like the U.S.A., Australia and U.K but were a dissapointment to many fans.

The drummer John Bonham drank himself to death in 1980, 32 years of age.

1)Immigrant song (8,0) 2-minute heavy uptempo song with Plant's trademark shouted vocals.

2)Friends (6,5) Somewhat strange intensive acoustic and violin-song.

3)Celebration day (8,0) Good driving slideguitar tune but a bit too monotone.

4)Since I've been loving you (8,0) A 7-minute sensitive slow heavy blues.

5)Out on the tiles (7,5) Messy, intense and heavy. Nice change of riff but rather monotone track.

6)Gallows pole (4,5) Monotone and messy banjo-hardrock. Why?

7)Tangerine (8,0) Very nice acoustic and electric short melodic song.

8)That's the way (5,0) Incredibly boring acoustic song.

9)Bron-y-aur stomp (7,0) Nice acoustic stomp.

10)Hats off to (Roy) Harper (6,0) Another acoustic. Intense and strange bluesy vocals.
