MINI REVIEW
Another super LP put out by LZ. Not as heavy as some of their others but still packs a punch! The opening song, "Song Remains the Same," is metal, that's for sure, and Jimmy Page's guitars are on fire. "Rain Song" then slows the album down some but it picks up again with "Over the Hills and Far Away". "Crunge" has an almost funky beat to it thanks to John Paul Jones' synthesizer. How about "D'Yer Mak'er", yeah that's a reggae beat but not like you ever heard it before this song played. As usual the band plays brilliantly through this album, this one's a keeper!
