Presence scales back the size of Physical Graffiti to a single album, but it retains the grandiose scope of that double record. If anything, Presence has more majestic epics than its predecessor, opening with the surging, ten-minute "Achilles Last Stand" and closing with the meandering, nearly ten-minute "Tea for One." In between, Led Zeppelin add the lumbering blues workout "Nobody's Fault But Mine" and the terse, menacing "For Your Life," which is the best song on the album. These four tracks take up the bulk of the album, leaving three lighthearted throwaways to alleviate the foreboding atmosphere -- and pretensions -- of the epics. If all of the throwaways were as focused and funny as those on Physical Graffiti or Houses of the Holy, Zeppelin would have had another classic on their hands. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Led Zeppelin's seventh album, PRESENCE, is a straight-ahead rocker, that has much more of a "live" feel than some of their previous recordings. Gone are most of the big production flourishes, and in their place the big power trio + vocals sound that made Led Zeppelin such a popular concert band.
The opening "Achilles Last Stand" is a driving, up-tempo rocker, while the closing "Tea For One" is a slow, Chicago-style blues, featuring Plant's moaning vocals and Page's alternatingly sweet, and frenetic solos. Elsewhere, "Royal Orleans" mixes delta blues with Indian music, "Hots On For Nowhere" is a stop-time boogie, and "Candy Store Rock" is heavy metal rockabilly.

Presence
$18.09
Remaster in an LP-replica sleeve.
Encompassing heavy metal, folk, pure rock & roll, and blues, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album is a monolithic record, defining not only Led Zeppelin but the sound and style of '70s hard rock. Expanding on the breakthroughs of III, Zeppelin fuse their majestic hard rock with a mystical, rural English folk that gives the record an epic scope. Even at its most basic -- the muscular, traditionalist "Rock and Roll" -- the album has a grand sense of drama, which is only deepened by Robert Plant's burgeoning obsession with mythology, religion, and the occult. Plant's mysticism comes to a head on the eerie folk ballad "The Battle of Evermore," a ...

Dutch limited edition comes in a vinyl style sleeve with original artwork.
On their first two albums, Led Zeppelin unleashed a relentless barrage of heavy blues and rockabilly riffs, but Led Zeppelin III provided the band with the necessary room to grow musically. While there are still a handful of metallic rockers, III is built on a folky, acoustic foundation that gives the music extra depth. And even the rockers aren't as straightforward as before: the galloping "Immigrant Song" is powered by Robert Plant's ...

Presence
$17.05
The band releases a special addition of their groundbreaking album on CD with a bonus audio track, plus a DVD with 2 music videos, hysterical behind the scenes look at the band, and live performance from the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in 2006.
Dragonforce: ZP Theart (vocals, background vocals); Herman Li, Sam Totman (guitars, background vocals); Vadim Pruzhanov (piano, keyboards, background vocals); Dave Mackintosh (drums, background vocals).
Additional personnel: Adrian Lambert (bass guitar); Clive Nolan, Lindsay Dawson (background vocals).
Dragonforce's music, once you're familiar with it, is unmistakable; their triumphant, orchestral power-metal--compressed to force every nuance up front--is impossible to ignore. INHUMAN RAMPAGE finds the band continuing their assault on metal audiences, with incredibly technical solos and almost Wagnerian melodic structures. The group also celebrates the pomp of glam rock without falling for its lazy trappings. This is rigorous music, impeccably performed for fans who expect no less.
