5 stars The most intelligent album Led Zeppelin ever released.

Every song, sublime (e.g. Stairway To Heaven) or not (e.g. Four Sticks), has something unique to offer, something beyond the ordinary, something that creates an album which stamps the listener forever.

It's not my favorite album (that's their debut), but it contains my favorite song (Black Dog), the voted as best song of all Time (Stairway To Heaven) and a perfect example of the brilliance they bare as musicians, composers and producers (When The Levee Breaks; read the story about Bonham's drums effect). Also, the song which I like to close my DJ set's with (Rock and Roll).

The music and the genius artwork which is still discussed to this very day coexist in what we call a Rock Monument. Absolutely timeless.

P.S.: Some people say it's overrated. I'll have to agree with them, but not a big deal: It's a colossal album that has been amplified to titanic by the Led Zeppelin aura. That's life, guys: Wishbone Ash's Argus is underrated, Pink Floyd's Animals is overrated and the list goes on and on and on...
