Houses of the Holy album Product Description
Houses of the Holy album by Led Zeppelin was released Jul 19, 1994 on the Atlantic (Label) label. By 1973, Led Zeppelin was getting used to being the biggest band on the planet (both financially and sonically). Letting their guard down and their spirits wander, they came up with the most widely varied album in their discography. Stylistically, HOUSES OF THE HOLY is all over the map, but it coheres in a grand manner befitting the '70s rock royalty Zeppelin had become. Stepping back a little from the epic scale of ZEPPELIN IV, the group slips into a funky James Brown homage ("The Crunge"), offers one of the first-ever attempts at reggae-rock ("D'yer Ma'ker"), and ventures into Pink Floyd-like prog rock ("No Quarter"). Jimmy Page's guitar work is at its most exquisitely beautiful on "The Rain Song," but the heavy-rock punch of yore is still present and accounted for on "Dancing Days" and "The Ocean." From here, it seemed like Led Zeppelin was capable of anything. Audio Mixers: Eddie Kramer; Keith Harwood; Andy Johns. ...See Full Description

| One of the best Houses of the Holy is one of my favourite Led Zep albums. The only poor track is The Crunge, haven't got a clue what that ones about. But the rest of the album is awesome. Over The Hills And Far Away and The Song Remains The Same are all time classics. If you don't like this music you must be dead. By carellucas (Perth, Australia) |
| Sym The most listenable of all Zep albums. Highlights: The Song Remains the Same - a prog-rock masterpiece - why more people don't cover this song I don't know Over the Hills & Far Away - the bridge from solo to verse where the solo echo slowly fades & the final double-guitar / organ trick are incredible ideas. Jimmy Page's recording / production ideas are above anything else but the Beatles. Really, ALL these songs rock. I LOVE THIS ALBUM! Summertime with a bag of chronic and you will too! One of rock's coolest album covers. By symatrixx (LA CA) |
| Giant Of An Album (And That's Not Causeway Either!) "Houses of The Holy" is another fine addition to the Led Zeppelin catalogue. The eclectic stew includes the trademark hard rock, folk, an eerie jazz-inflected Norse saga, a beautiful mellotron laced ballad and interesting forays into soul and reggae. Like the vast majority of the LZ albums, "Houses" belongs in every serious Zep fan's collection and where's that confounded bridge? By Will-T (Lawrenceburg IN) |
| Great cd Houses of the holy is an awesome zeppelin cd. I would recomend it for any zeppelin. By Drizzt (Toledo, OH, USA) |
| LOL is all I have to say This album is AWSOME, as is each Zep album. I have to laugh when I read: It should be added to any serious Zep fan, or suggestions like. Each and every album is pretty much perfect, the shame of it all is John's passing as there would have been so many more. My tradegy is they were coming on my 16th birthday and John died, so no show, and I never got to see them, EVER! Terrible shame! Best band ever, hands down! By tommyjohn316 (St. Paul, MN) |
