Houses Of The Holy album Product Description
Japanese limited edition rerelease comes in a vinyl style sleeve. 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. ...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.

| Something New NOT TRADITIONAL lED ZEPPELIN BUT ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF THEIR SELECTION By Led Zeppelin Fanatic (Windsor) This review is for a different format. |
| 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) This review is for a different format. |
| 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) This review is for a different format. |
| Great cd Houses of the holy is an awesome zeppelin cd. I would recomend it for any zeppelin. By Drizzt (Toledo, OH, USA) This review is for a different format. |
