Ok, that was a harsh assessment.  But just curious....do you guys think it's a better album than anything that preceded it?

Coda is great, but Out Door is sublime.  One of their best later albums; clean, mature, lovely.

In through the out door certifiably sucks.  A monster downer of an album, sloppy, uninspired.  Coda was better.  Tongue  No offense guys.

Yup, 'In Through The Out Door' is extremelly underrated.

If you would like to explore their most progy tunes go for Physical Graffiti, being a double album it has some weak tracks as well. I believe if they would loose a few tracks it would become their ultimate album.

But if you're looking for a classic Zep go for the first.

From a prog perspective I voted for Houses although Physical Graffiti is nearly on par, if only because it has double material (and a cool cover in vinyl).
 
II is a seminal rock album but less interesting from a prog perspective.
 
But even before that I would recommend you to get the video of The Song Remains The Same, the tracklist is excellent and seeing them in their prime always provides something extra, an image is worth more than 1000 words as they say...

Their Third, definitely.

It contains the superb IMMIGRANT SONG!

^ You know, I felt that same way too, and yet I haven't even noticed that. Something just felt right about the production. Yes, it does weird how they slapped and lumped it. However, the band was capable of making some hell of a music that I didn't even think about the production. That's the Zep magic.

I think my main problem with Houses it how it sounds; it's just so flat, mis-mixed and thin sounding, especially compared to the first four

'Houses of Holy' is a fine follow-up to Led Zep IV.

I'm shocked that Houses of the Holy doesn't have better reviews. In my opinion, easily their best album. The Rain Song may be Zeppelin's best song ever (yes, Zeppelin lovers get your rocks out to stone me). There's not one bad song on the album. Rain Song is epic, beautiful, (builds up to) rocking, MELLOTRON, HELLO?! and just plain awesome.

I agree, that's where my vote goes. 
New album!

^ oh I think there's at least one bad song, in fact I can think of two;  plus, TSRtS presents the material sooooo much better
