Led Zeppelin II album Product Description
Led Zeppelin II album by Led Zeppelin was released Jun 21, 1994 on the Atlantic (Label) label. From the first grinding notes of the famous vamp that introduces "Whole Lotta Love," LED ZEPPELIN II announces for all to hear that they are the definitive hard rock band of their generation. Led Zeppelin II songs But before the listener can even settle into the groove, things takes a hard left turn into a spacey new rhythm, exotically flavored by Page's droning feedback and innovative use of a violin bow. Led Zeppelin II album By tune's end, Zeppelin has repeatedly toyed with the listener's expectations. This subversive quality distinguishes most of the arrangements on LED ZEPPELIN II, as in the soft/hard dynamic shifts of "What Is And What Should Never Be," the gospelish mood of "Thank You," the rocking vamps and funk rhythms of "Heartbreaker" and "Living Loving Maid," and the country music echoes of "Ramble On." And in their appropriations of source materials from Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, and Sonny Boy Williamson, Page and company continued to mine the rich vein of the blues. Atlantic Records 1994 remastered reissue of 1969 album. ...See Full Description

| fast rolling This album got Led Zeppelin rolling faster than Jerry Garcia at Woodstock. By flash (Grand Blanc, MI, USA) |
| Nothing Better. Don't bother with the "Best of" CDs. Get Zepplin I, II, IV, and Houses of the Holy. These are all must haves. Works of Rock Art. By TM (mason, Ohio) |
| TIMELESS ! "LED ZEPPLIN II" is as good today as it was almost 30 years ago. The guitar work by page is some of the best you will ever hear. If you weren't around back then you might want to give this a try. Very unique. By a reviewer (Milledgeville, Ga)  |
| Wanna whole lotta rock??? Led Zep blasted back into the charts with "Led Zeppelin 2" in late 1969. Although it's not the rock masterpiece like its predecessor, it still rocks your socks off all the same! "Whole Lotta Love" has to be the anthem of any Casanova - or just anyone who digs intimate fun! And "What is and what should never be" is one of the best blues/rock numbers ever written. It's one heck of a good album, just has a few dull moments like "Thank you" and "Ramble on" - other than that, it's more rocking good times from Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham. ROCK ON PEOPLE!!! By James Richardson (Elizabeth, South Australia) |
| The Brown Bomber Triumphant! All of Led Zeppelin's albums are classics...musts to own..so it is a challenge to pinpoint one that stands out from the rest. However, I believe that "Led Zep II" (or "The Brown Bomber", its nom-de-plume due to the dominant color of the album jacket) does indeed stand out. The tunestack comprises a heady brew of innovative heavy metal (as evidenced by the theremin and sound-effects on "Whole Lotta Love"), blues, soft textures that ultimately explode into potent bombast, and even a gentle keyboard-laced ballad. A heavy metal masterwork. "Physical Graffiti" may have been Zep's best album artistically, but this one was their meatiest. By Will-T (Lawrenceburg IN) |
